[QUOTE=BigBadWilly;48304668]Bit harsh? Only reason shit went bad this year is because of exploder mainly and because it was run by someone who isn't in the term "Official"[/QUOTE] i doo agree, but my reason for the little over react is that, people will understand that it's shit..
[QUOTE=grunewald;48304645]this is a faggot competition i think, and i am not gonna participate next year.[/QUOTE] Although I'm annoyed as well, I've yet to see you host a competition?
[QUOTE=BFG9000;48303694]So Ragdoll Combat at the moment has roughly 75% and Bronx and Paintballz are at 74%. Rip. [B]What happened to AwesomeX?[/B][/QUOTE] I only made it for the last four games, because the morning of the judging "or even the day before" no one told me we'd be starting. That's the worst thing about this competition.. The lack of communication, I didn't hear anything about when we'd be starting, then I hear from one of the judges, that we would start "soon" and I waited half the day, and nothing happened, then the next morning I wake up to find half the judging is over.. :glare:
I'm kind of curious how Warlocks only got 2 from Fortune. Aren't the minimum ratings for design, playability etc all 1? That and it working fine should give me at least 5 :v: Also meaning Magicrace should have at least 4, not 3. Edit: Could we also get the judges' extra comments? Always educational to hear where we could improve.
Late but I finally got github to stop wanting to kill me. [URL="https://github.com/TheMrFailz/paintballz"]Paintballz on github.[/URL] Note: Due to busy-ness I still haven't made it run without the gamemode switching thing.
[highlight]The results are in![/highlight] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bwban3k.png[/IMG] NOTE: THERE's A TYPEO! WARLOCKS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 100.6 AS FORTUNE's SCORE WAS 12! Places: 1st: MadParakeet with Ragdoll Combat 2nd: BFG9000 with The Bronx 3rd: TheMrFailz with PaintBallz Add me on steam to collect your prizes! Thank you for everyone invloved, I couldn't have done it without you. Give yourselves a pat on the back! [sp] And fucking oath i'm not hosting another one [/sp] Judges Comments: [B][U]Willox[/U][/B] [U]The Bronx[/U] Crouching would stop nextbots from damaging you Guns were a little hard to find - melee wasn't fun enough to replace them Framerate was fairly low [U]Magic Labyrinth[/U] Files required to run weren't AddCSLuaFile'd Fullbright map Warlord weapon didn't work? No idea what to do at first [U]PaintBallz[/U] Repetitive - needs more guns/weapons Hard to tell what team you are on Seems robust enough [U]Ragdoll Combat[/U] Repetitive - needs more abilities? powerups? Blocking should probably rely on angle No errors! [U]SpellDM[/U] Repetitive - needs more abilities? powerups? <- this Too much spam Too much other spam [U]ToonWars[/U] Repetitive - needs more abilities? powerups? <- this Too much spam Too much other spam [U]Warlocks[/U] Repetitive - needs more abilities? powerups? <- this Also seems like a lot of ability spamming Spectate system? Being dead is dull [B][U]Rhapsody[/U][/B] [U]The Bronx[/U] One of my favorites from the competition, followed by Ragdoll Combat II and Warlocks: Ultimate Push Party. The only reason it didn't get a perfect score from me was because of the fact that it's a Left 4 Dead style game (so Originality got two marks) and because of an issue we ran into while playing; lack of weapons. This is something that Willox ran into a bit, saying that he couldn't find any. I think that each ammo kit gives you too much ammo, but that's just my opinion. Maybe it's needed. [U]Magic Labyrinth[/U] While it worked on singleplayer, this gamemode didn't work properly on multiplayer, citing a HUD error. We played through this gamemode thanks to Willox fixing it (and have some comments about it that I'll share). - The gamemode is unclear as to what exactly you need to do if you didn't read what the gamemode was prior to playing it. - Class abilities are vague; we had no idea what each class did and there was no feedback that you were even doing anything. - The map was extremely bland. There are some other things I didn't particularly like about this gamemode, and none of it sits right with me. [U]PaintBallz[/U] Fun gamemode, but it's not exactly one I'd call memorable. Two of the things I had an issue with was that the ammo regen didn't work properly, and that there wasn't an indication of how many frags it was until the game ended on-screen. It could've also been good to add an indication as to what team you were on on-screen since the scoreboard text was small. [U]Ragdoll Combat[/U] The gamemode is a remake of an old gamemode, so I removed one score from the originality rating. However, it's pretty excellent in other ways, and enough effort was made to make even the stock map it's on, gm_flatgrass, look somewhat original. [U]SpellDM[/U] - Spells are spammable. There's no cooldown on the spells, nor any indication of what the spells do prior to actually using them. We had issues figuring out what the third, fourth, and fifth abilities did. - There are too few spawn positions. It's too easy to spawncamp. - You can die right after spawning. This allows spawncamping, but can be solved by implementing a short cooldown when spawning that, say, allows you to not be affected when being hit, and prevents you from using spells. - The chat gets spammed with kills. Why not use the normal kill display instead of showing witty text that's the same every time and beceomes less funny each time you see it? [U]ToonWars[/U] This isn't a bad gamemode, I feel, but I think that a big issue with this map, at least, is the fact that the sightlines are insane. If your base is captured, you'll spawn in the middle of the map, and snipers have a gigantic advantage. I can't fight back, and the recoil on the guns don't help the situation. Further, you can't change your class without actually being in a base, unless I'm missing something. [U]Warlocks[/U] It's a pretty fun gamemode! It just feels like it could use some more. Could be improved by adding spectating. [B][U]Fortune[/U][/B] [U]The Bronx[/U] Pretty fun to play, got a bit laggy at times but was a unique and creative idea. [U]Magic Labyrinth[/U] Absolutely and completely broken. Good times. [U]PaintBallz[/U] The gamemode didn't really fit the theme of cartoon, which is what I assume it was going for. [U]Ragdoll Combat[/U] Amazingly unique idea, could see it becoming popular with further development. [U]SpellDM[/U] A little lacking in creativty and, well, any real gameplay. [U]Toon Wars[/U] Applying a filter is not enough to qualify as "cartoon". [U]Warlocks[/U] A fairly simplistic gamemode, become very repetetive very quickly. [B][U]Exploderguy[/U][/B] [U]The Bronx[/U] The gamemode was very unique but had it’s crashingg issues. It’d be better if the gamemode was shorter. [U]Magic Labyrinth[/U] Magic Race is a unique gamemode, but it lacked its multiplayer compatibility. With a bit of work, the gamemode will probably get better marks. [U]PaintBallz[/U] Paintballs was a well set out gamemode. It would be better with more guns etc. Good game though! [U]Ragdoll Combat[/U] Ragdoll combat is a gamemode with great replayability. The gamemode isn’t classified as original, as it is a remake of an old E2 chip. [U]SpellDM[/U] SpellDM is an interesting gamemode. With a few adjustments (Non-Chat Spam and sound minimisation) the gamemode has better potential. [B][U]AwesomeX (sarge)[/U][/B] [U]Toon Wars[/U] I feel it could use an indication of what team you were on. Along with removing friendly fire, that was annoying. [U]SpellDM[/U] Wasn't anything too exciting. [U]Ragdoll Combat[/U] I had quite a bit of fun with this gamemode, it was a fresh take on something simple. [U]Warlocks[/U] It really needs a spectator view. -- [highlight]This thread will lock in 3 days.[/highlight]
Why did Fortune rate me a 0? I thought he gave me an N/A like you. Wouldn't that make his rating 11.8 like yours i.e. the average of the other scores?

I kinda don't get how Paintballs managed third. It looks like a boring old unoriginal regular old TDM gamemode that doesn't even really fit any of the themes. Hell, it doesn't even look as if it even actually tried to fit in either of the themes. Plus, the way it got the bonus points, really? I mean, it was fair and square, but something bothers me about how some people put more work into their implementations only to receive the same exact amount they would have if they had just printed "lol Shia postal's ass THAT cat Ellen Pao MELONS" into chat or the scoreboard or some shit. Plus, watching the twitch vids, were the gamemodes SERIOUSLY judged when downloads didn't work for many of the gamemodes? That's incredibly unprofessional.

If I get anything I'll donate it to the next guy down on the ranking. [sp] No need to be a dick about it though. [/sp] edit: [sp] The main reason I even joined the contest was motivation to actually do something instead of sitting on my ass all day coming up with ideas but never doing anything with them. After I found out about the family trip thing I was getting thrown on I just went full force to actually push something out.[/sp]
Congratulations to all the winners :)
Congrats to all that won.
Did Willox give Toon Wars the same feedback as SpellDM or was that a typo?
[QUOTE=bobbleheadbob;48316806]Did Willox give Toon Wars the same feedback as SpellDM or was that a typo?[/QUOTE] i did, most gamemodes had those same recurring issues as far as i saw
Neato, I won. I'd like to thank all the judges, prize donators, and everyone who participated, regardless of any issues with the compo/judging. You motivated me to do something productive, for once. Shit, I just realized that I'm delaying the runners up from collecting their prizes. I'll just say what I want here so you know what you have to pick from... - Glod and Title Change (Sorry Author, please don't kill me! :boxhide:) - [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/370360/"]TIS-100[/URL] ($10 Steam Game -- Costs $6.29)
[QUOTE=MadParakeet;48317251] - Glod and Title Change (Sorry Author, please don't kill me! :boxhide:) [/QUOTE] Welcome to the awesomeness club, you get you're own embroidered towel when you get gold.

I'll post my choice after I browse a bit.
Oi Breny, feel free take whatever's left as you got 4th and I already said my decision on the matter. ([URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1474356&p=48313311&viewfull=1#post48313311"]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1474356&p=48313311&viewfull=1#post48313311[/URL])
Oh breny, i'm thinking about taking the SSL cert as my second prize because it feels scummy for me to take both games but if for some reason you would rather have the cert then just say so.
No no, pick what you want, you earned it. Though, I have a friend who I'd love to play Rocket League with. I'll gladly give you something like 2 copies of How to Survive for it, or Skyrim.
I kinda want to get GranPC's seminal work, Stanley Parable... If you'd like to buy that and trade me i can get you rocket league and it would be like you getting a 5 dollar discount :3 I've decided to take the SSL cert as well.
So is BFG claiming the $30 steam games? If so I will add you and tell me what you want, then I send them?
Well if Breny doesnt respond in the next hour or so then I'll just go with Stanley Parable
[QUOTE=BFG9000;48318757]Well if Breny doesnt respond in the next hour or so then I'll just go with Stanley Parable[/QUOTE] That is only like $14, no other ones to go with it?
[QUOTE=BFG9000;48318757]Well if Breny doesnt respond in the next hour or so then I'll just go with Stanley Parable[/QUOTE] Well, sounds fair enough. I can't get it for you until tomorrow-ish though, if that's alright? It's kind of late already :v: Though like commander said that'd only be 14$ ish. I do have enough money left on my steam to do the following (though if it's too fishy for you, that's fine and I can just get you Stanley and we trade it like that): You toss me the full 30, which gives me enough (+my steam wallet) to get Stanley and rocket league, and I just toss you the Stanley Parable copy. If you want, we can discuss this more in steam as to not flood the forums with this. Alternatively, since I can completely get if you would prefer a direct trade, we can do that tomorrow, but that would leave you with 16$ of unused prize (unless of course you have other plans for it, not really my business) :v:
Your idea sounds better and I'm sure you're trustworthy :p Commander, you ok with that? [editline]28th July 2015[/editline] Unless it's not a gift code you have and you're using your credit card in which case i guess it wouldnt work :c
I would be using my credit card to purchase a game/games upto the value of $30. So please sort out what you two are doing...
Ok, then I'll get rocket league and Counter Strike Condition Zero. I'll add you breny.
I already brought Rocket League for Breny, it's in his gift inventory thing.
