Well, I could just go ahead and link up the post for my game since it is public (I'm kinda feedback-hungry :BibleThump: ) and every version will be public including the one recently released for the contest as long as it's aight with YoSniper.
You can do what you want with your game. Go ahead and do that if you want.

So, this should be my final post on the topic before the results videos start getting uploaded.

I am still waiting on three judges' votes; specifically Starz0r, Kilgour22, and natedog2007. The three of you have thru August 8, 2015 to finish giving your opinions on the games, and to vote.

When I come back online on Sunday, August 9, whatever votes are present will be the FINAL COUNT. And hopefully, the results videos will begin that week.

As for me, the radio silence starts NOW. See you guys in a week or so.

Also, the public download for the contest submissions is now in the OP. Note that Derf's and Katz's entry (PSIFT) is not in that package, because they wanted "the first public experience with the game to be a more complete release." Hit them up if you want to see the latest updates on that.

So just a quick update.

I am back to civilization, but I'm still on vacation thru the 8th. I only have internet through my mobile device.

All judges have voted!

My goal is to have the first results video ready by Saturday the 15th, but no guarantees.

Thank you all for your patience and participation.

First results video is up. See the OP.

And just an FYI to the judges: I did not include EVERYONE'S opinions in the videos, and I don't intend to for future videos. Instead, in the last video, I will post a link to a complete Word document including all of the opinions you gave on the wiki.

I shall be using the results of this year to determine if I should continue my entry as a full game or abandon it completely for my new side project.
Pro tip: you gotta run and jump at the same time!

It's that they become really boring really fast for me, but for some reason they've become a fad in modern fangames.

It irks me when something comes down to nothing more than long strings of memorization. Not to mention that the human brain is limited to the amount of information it can take in at a given time, so concentrating on every projectile in an avoidance segment that could potentially be a threat is overwhelming.

What I want to see, and what I grew up with, more or less, are bosses that you have to damage in some fashion, and that when mastered, don't take three whole minutes.

This is also one of the reasons I fell out of love with Guitar Hero. If you fuck up ONE note, you have no chance of 100%-ing the song unless you start over. The songs are several minutes long, so one mistake costs you that much more of your life.

That's basically my perspective. You can disagree if you want. I tend not to give high votes to games in my contest that utilize avoidance bosses, but other judges might enjoy it. It's not out of the question that an avoidance boss game could win my contest one year. I just personally see it as unlikely.

Site appears to have had a little bit of a hiccup, but just letting you all know that part 4 is up!

I'll need at least another week to put the final video together. Thank you for your continued patience.
