Week Of Awesome III - The Afterparty/judging thread!

Tim · 2017-07-05T14:45:25

Well another year, another week is done! Congratulations to everyone whom competed! Creating a game in a week is no small task, and I am quite proud of what you guys accomplished! Once again I've compiled everyone's journals together and took notes of how many posts you did in the competition thread. I also made note of cross posting(responding to others, commenting on others journals). I compile this not just for us judges to use, but also for anyone who wants to go through each team's works, and see how they did things! Once again congrats to everyone whom competed, I think it's been another great year, and I've also taken plenty of notes on how to hopefully improve things for next year. With that said i'd like to also take this thread as a place to be used to talk to fellow contestants, and enjoy the games folks made.Admin Thread: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/668847-the-week-of-awesome-iii-the-third-annual-unofficial-gamedevnet-competition-administration-thread/Competition Thread: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/670757-week-of-awesome-iii-the-competition-thread/Results Post: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/670965-week-of-awesome-iii-the-afterpartyjudging-thread/?view=findpost&p=5249412Results will also be posted in this thread when we are finished. Remember that many of us judges have day jobs, so please allow us to the end of august at the latest to finish judging. I'd also like to add that with the help of Eck whom created a great judging scale: http://www.gamedev.net/blog/2108/entry-2261430-ecks-unofficial-judging-officially-explained/ which i'd like to refer to here as well. This should give you a better sense of what scoring in each category means related to your game:[spoiler]Gameplay/fun: 25 pointsThis one is kind of subjective, but I tried to break it down similar to my other scores.0: I can't delete this game fast enough1-4: Bad. I had to fight the controls, and I didn't want to finish playing it, but I had to because I'm a judge. I have trouble seeing where you were trying to go with this.5-11: Poor. I can see where you were trying to go, but you didn't quite get there in the week's time. The fun factor just wasn't quite there. A little more time and you might have been able to squeeze some fun out of your chosen direction through mechanics tweaks, or levels.12-18: Decent. I had some fun playing your game and you should be proud. You made a game that is kind of fun in only a week's time.19-22: Good. I had more than a little fun with your game. Other people seeing a score this high should check out this game. I might even steal an idea or two from the game.23-24: Great. I had lots of fun in your game. Everyone should definitely check out this game.25: Damn this game is fun! I'll probably play this some more after the competition.Graphics: 20 points0: You're bad, and you should feel bad! I highly doubt I'll be handing this out to anyone. 1-3: The graphics are bad enough that it detracts from the rest of the game.4-9: Not great graphics, but it's a game jam. There's no need to be ashamed here, but next year you might want to look into some free assets.10-14: Decent graphics for a jam. Here's where you should start to feel pride in your accomplishment. You managed to make a game in a week and the art is decent15-17: Good graphics for a jam. I could see this in a real game.18-19: Great graphics for a jam. How'd you have time for that? O.o20: Holy crap! This could be in a high quality game.Theme: 20 points0: You heard the theme right? Death is useful. And you made a farming game? 1-3: Death was mentioned in passing.4-9: Death is technically useful in your game, but it's a stretch.10-14: You've met the goal of death being useful.15-17: Death is useful and you put an interesting twist on it.18-19: Great concept, clever interpretation, and good execution.20: Wow, what an amazing idea! Great execution too!Audio: 10 points0: There was sound, I turned it off. My ears are bleeding!1: Lack of sound or bad sound effects/music.2-4: You have sound but it isn't great.5-7: You have sound in your game and it wasn't bad.8: Good sound effects.9: Great sound effects for a game jam.10: These sound effects are amazing.First Time User Experience: 10 points0: The game crashes, it's buggy, no documentation, and counter intuitive.1: Hard to figure out, bad experience.2-4: Some installation issues. Game works most of the time. Could use better documentation.5-7: Everything works.8: Intuitive and enjoyable experience.9: Great job. I forgot this was a game that was built in only a week.10: Flawless. No installer. Documentation was very clear or completely unnecessary.Participation: 10 pointsMust post links to your posts in the Competition ThreadThis is a slightly modified scale from Eck's:0: Didn't post anything anywhere except for the link to your game.0.5 points for each post that is: More than a few sentences1 points for each post that is good and detailed(or is a journal post).1 point for a meaningful comment on someone else's threadJudge's Discretion: 5 points-These points are up to each judge-[/spoiler]With that out of the way, you can find each team's progress listed here:Team: Slaughterhouse Gaming -

I would assume it's probably too late to do this, but just in case...could I write up a readme file for the game after it's been submitted, to clarify on the mechanics I forgot to explain during the tutorial?

It's not changing the game itself, but it is altering the submission after the deadline, so I'm not sure.

Looking at the entry compilation (specifically, the .zip version), I see that Team "That Big Fat Chicken" has a folder, but an empty one--is this correct?

(-(\-) I swear i put them into that folder. welp, time to spend a few hours reuploading all the archives. *sigh*

Could'tn you just make a part two and avoid the reupload?

If you are full lives you cannot move at all. If you have 1 death 1 heart you can walk. If you have 2 death hearts you can jump, but you cannot get 2 death hearts in the first level, because you loose. IE no jumping in the first level.

Thanks for clarifying! I will retry the game with this knowledge.

I got a report about my game crashing in windows because of missing permission to write the savefile. 'Run as administrator' solves the problem should you encounter it. Just a heads up.

If anyone is interested I'm doing quick minireviews of all the entered games.

Follow the progress here: http://darkdroidcom.blogspot.no/2015/08/woa-iii-post-mortem-quick-roundup-of.html

4 done, 19 to go!

EDIT: 18 to go. Guess I shouldn't review my own game. Or maybe I should? Hmmmm, interesting concept...

Our game had much better graphics but because of one "bug" while releasing, our game only starts with "Fastest" or "Lowest" graphic settings (So no shadows, SSAO, anti-aliasing or anything like that is enabled). So, you think graphics are decent.

Here are actual graphics.

It has day night cycle too.

You can also re-generate your health and stamina by sleeping in the bed which is in the one of the house.

I can't speak for the for-reals judges, but I've been bumping everything up to highest quality for all the Unity games since it prompts you for a resolution and quality level at the start.

But unfortunately, we had disabled that dialog because I wrote some code to change resolution from the menu. If allowed, I'd like to enable this Unity Quality settings dialog. Otherwise, we're going to get decent score on graphics and on what we worked so hard.

@DKoding,

I know this is late but I just read the review you posted on our game. First thanks for taking a look at the game. Your review was very kind and had some very good tips to make it better. We will take these comments and problems and fix our game. I know the competition is over but for me it isn't about competing and winning but making a better game.

Secondly I'm sorry the camera made you sick that will really need to be fixed because I can't have players upchucking their meals while playing our game...

There you have it folks, all games reviewed: http://darkdroidcom.blogspot.no/2015/08/woa-iii-post-mortem-quick-roundup-of.html

There were a couple with game breaking bugs, it would be nice to know if others can run the games without the problems I had, maybe with some help I can figure out how to run them too.

Thanks again for the reviews. Your review of Orc Party sounds much more positive now you know how it works! I had planned an interactive tutorial, but ran out of time. Lesson learnt, I will make it a priority to include an in game tutorial or at the very least show the controls on screen.

I thought my readme was quite informative and thorough though!
