Congrats to the winners and all the people who competed.

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

I get to play their games, so I'm a winner too

Congrats and thanks guys.

Also, thanks ekianjo for organizing this.

Is it possible to transfer part of my prize to people who helped me? In particular, I would like to give a 50 EUR voucher to mcobit (he did lots of nice graphics). I don't know what to do with EvilDragon -- he did lots of nice sound samples, but I don't think it makes sense to give him a voucher in his own shop   so maybe instead of that, another 50 EUR of my prize could be converted into a Pyra dev donation or a Pandora preorder fund donation or something like that?

I'll check with ED I'm sure something can be worked out.

Altough none of my favourites won, congrats to the competition winners - as shenmue already pointed out > the community is the real winner here

Thanks a lot! It would be great if those €50 can be turned into a donation of ED's choice, too.

I asked ED for my little snowman competition (I split off my price voucher two 8%-parts for the best c4a submiters of snowman) and he said everything is possible, but you should talk to him before he gives the vouchers instead of getting one and splitting afterwards. Just makes fewer work for him.

Congrats to the winners and every entry in this compo.

4th, 6th and 8th are not bad positions after all,

About prizes, i only need one TV out cable and a 64GB card still pending from Dragonbox compo, the rest can be converted for preorder donations,

Quick announcement : I will release the final list of winners tomorrow for all categories. 

 

[ekianjo]

I have updated the winners following the judges' decisions:

Judges were : foxblock, sebt3, notaz, skeezix.

I have also asked others but they declined my request (lack of time).

Overall all judges were in agreement for the following:

- Snowman Reloaded to get 2nd place before QEmu Dos Pack

- uPIM to get 2nd place before Printrun

Here are the reasons given :

- Judges valued original work more than ports (unless porting also involves significant amount of original work)

- Utility : vast majority of Pandora users would probably find uPIM more useful than Printrun (while Printrun is awesome in itself)

- Between uPIM and Printrun, it was also said that uPIM was tailored to work well with the Pandora screen while Printrun is a bit less optimal.

- Snowman was considered to be almost like a new game since a new engine was used (sparrow3d) and new content was added (levels, music) and C4 support. In comparison, while it was recognized that a lot of work went into QEmu Dos Game Pack as well, the selection of games gave the impression that the author went for quantity rather than quality, giving a mixed impression.

Some judges gave more details than other but they were all consistent.

I hope the ones who got the 3rd place are not too disappointed - and congratulations to the ones who got the 2nd place!
