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.

Results 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 points
This 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 enough
1-4: 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 points
0: You're bad, and you should feel bad! I highly doubt I'll be handing this out to anyone. smile.png
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 decent
15-17: 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.o
20: Holy crap! This could be in a high quality game.


Theme: 20 points
0: You heard the theme right? Death is useful. And you made a farming game? tongue.png
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 points
0: 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 points
0: 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 points
Must post links to your posts in the Competition Thread
This 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 sentences
1 points for each post that is good and detailed(or is a journal post).
1 point for a meaningful comment on someone else's thread


Judge's Discretion: 5 points
-These points are up to each judge-

So, this was a fun contest and really has forced me to meet new people each time. The pitfalls and the highs are what makes me come back, thanks for all those who helped setup this and for all of those who will be judging. seriously, glad this place exists.

Will the judges write any notes on our games, or will they only give scores?

@slicer: Could you please change the download link to version 0.1.1? (I submitted this in time in the competition thread)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ya39z8mcnqltqeg/ADeathADozen_v0.1.1.zip

Unless version 0.1.1 crashes on your system, then I'm fine with keeping 0.1.0 up there.

Also the blogs section is missing my last two blog entries:

Also, good job everyone! I look forward towards playing all your games.

Also, thanks to slicer who organized this event.

We had a lot of fun being a part of this year's competition, and we definitely feel we've managed to make something we can be proud of, especially given the 1 week time-frame.

Hello to all my stalkers.

I also submitted a newer build before the end too :)

Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9oyj1mxqht9mdth/Chaotic%20Ball%20Carnage%20v0.9.8.29_final2.7z?dl=0

I mostly just added two harder variations to the map and added a bigger one.

Thanks for pulling together all this info!

I would like to say congratulations to all the stakeholders in the Week of Awesome III.

Regardless of the eventual results, each and every person who has participated in this competition has in their own way contributed time and effort that in no small way contributes to the continuing growth of not only this annual event, but to the gamedev.net site as well the larger gamedev community. It is my sincere hope that I will see you all return for next year's Week of Awesome IV.

For those who joined the Gamedev.net site to participate in this week of sleep addled brain fever....Welcome....and do stick around!

First of all I'd like to thank everyone that was involved in organizing or sponsoring this competition. I'd to thank all the reviewers in advance, hope you'll have a great time trying all the games out. Last but not least, thank you all for participating, it's been a pleasure.

I think you've missed all my cross posts, not that it really matters as I won't be anywhere near the top, but it makes me look better as a person :P:

I had uploaded the wrong verison (To be exact, I compiled a version, but forgot to update the ZIP file) I changed the file behind the link to the newer one, so now, so I hope its okay. (You can check that no code has changed since the end of the competition)

For the most part the judging criteria are exactly like mine, but it looks like slicer took some rephrasing liberties. My original version said ...and you made a Sudoku game? I thought about phrasing it exactly like that to take a friendly jab at rithamus for last year's entry, but I wasn't sure that I knew him well enough for friendly jabs to be interpreted that way. :)

Great job everyone, I plan to play all of your games tonight but you should all be proud of what you have accomplished irregardless of the results.

Also, thank you to the organizers, supporters, and sponsers. It takes a lot of effort to put one of these things together and it is taxing on the organizers & participants family and close relations.

I am hoping to post a video postmortem in the next few days where I will be discussing some interesting topics with regards to the "Army of the Undead".
