[4E6] Conclusion

XDigital · 2008-08-15T15:22:00

Here is a short conclusion on 4E6. My entry (Libertine) was far to ambitious and I realized it, during the creation of the meshes and the textures. The coding phase was very instructive for me, because I learned lots of things about classes, preparation of generic functions, event handling, logical flows, quest design and finally that the kernel of the game takes only one third of the complete development phase, the rest is story, meshes, textures and sound. The contest management could have been a little bit more striving in setting up prices. All participants made their job in creating a game, the competition admins should do their job, too. If a community page like gamedev.net announces a game development contest, I think it should take it a bit more seriously. Nevertheless it was lots of fun for me and I'm not angry because of the missing prices or the timeouts during the upload phase, because the biggest motivation were the clicks on my thread and the positive feedback. Intel's game demo contest is waiting. I saw, that some of you already applied for it. We meet there - my entry will be "Consecration" as "Best threaded game". See the Dev Blog for details... Have fun out there, Cheers XDigital

I have to admit, I was very surprised to see that the submissions hadn't been judged yet. Since the contest ended, I've graduated university, flown across the world <edit: multiple times>, and traveled through most of the provinces in China. Just saying.

What's the hold up? Do you need judges, or is there something on the business side - what? I figure, at least for the sake of any future contests held by the site, if there are any, the participants should at least have an update.

I'd like to post just to express my desire to see these games evaluated ASAP. I check the forums everyday for an update!

yeah its pretty sad how neglected it is. I realize its ran for free, but I don't think you should host a contest and accept works of many man-hours and then ignore them. This happened last contest too, and its one of the reasons I decided not to participate this year.

I mean, not even a response on why its not being judged yet? Anyways, I respect everyone that chose to participate.

4E6 is nearly done now. I have some prizes here that will hopefully make up for the extreme delay.

Some good news!
