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 -

Yes, thats what I am saying. If thats illegal,

As far as I know (slicer will have to confirm/deny), only versions that were uploaded/link at the end of the competition can be used.

Shame to hear about the mistake, though =/

Don't worry, I realized that when I compiled my game Visual studio ignored the #IF DEBUG directives and compiled all of the debug code as well. Go ahead, button mash, you'll find a few things and you may also find the level restart key....which is not supposed to exist. The game is supposed to have perma-death to make it harder.

It happens when you are in a rush, things are never perfect.

Remember to mark someones post as helpful if you found it so.

However, they will be written in classical latin, making sure to use as many words as possible that we haven't yet discovered the translations for.

Hey! I just spent the past week learning Swahili, because I was assured that it was the official language mandated for reviews! D:<

All these people with crossposts... WHERE DID YOU FIND THE TIME?!

As a fellow sorcerer, I can highly recommend the Time Stop spell. ;P

... some how a few folks *cough*Thaumaturge, Orymus3*cough* managed to really get around.

I'm not sure that I like that phrasing! XD;

[edit]

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

Ooh, thank you! Your review of my entry was rather interesting, and appreciated.

And yes, almost all of the sound effects were created using my own voice and a microphone. ^^; As far as I recall, the only exception is the sound that plays when a spell-powerup appears (which you should hear on starting a new game), which I believe is a "chime" sound that was generated by and then modified in Audacity.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

- Death is becoming useful because the enemies can be killed

- Death is is giving us some reward which can make the game experience to be more easy or more challenging by affecting our hero's abilities ( extra weapon stamina power; extra lives and checkpoints; halved weapon stamina power, no checkpoints, a timer which needs to be feed by killing enemies and as you discovered, an infinite dead loop if you try to change the tricky reward to a much pleasant one ( sad.png ) )

- we need to die for activating/changing the reward

- after we die repeatedly we are learning the enemies behavior and locations, so we can get better at the game after dying repeatedly

I only noticed the weapon stamina thing. I also did get trapped in that infinite death loop as well and thought it was a bug, maybe have death appear and mock you for going easy after choosing the hard chest? and then have the play able to escape the loop after, I don't want to restart the game :).

Indeed is a bug, should have been perfectly fine to change to another chest, but because I have written in code timerEnabled == false; instead of timerEnabled = false; the functionality is broken.

I am really happy with our game...

After almost 2 days, it had 2k plays, 80 ratings, 13 gameplay videos... oO I didn't expected this

http://gamejolt.com/games/try-die-repeat/86584

I think we will expand the idea, a lot of people spoke about it...

I don't know if I am too hasty, but we already have this: http://trydierepeat.com, haha

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.
