   [UFEC] Results
  The contest has been concluded.I am pleased to announce that many judges have been able to submit sizeable feedback on all of the games submitted. While at the start of the judging period, when only two games were submitted, I thought this would end badly, and when, just three days ago, I checked the database to find out that there are only 4 or 5 feedbacks, today there are about fifteen of them.The scoring system is, of course, far from perfect. Unless every judges scores every category of every game, it will be infair and it IS unfair. I must say I quite disagree with the results but they are what they are. This should not matter, however, as the main aim of the contest - to join the community in achieving a common goal with other, and receiving feedback - is fulfilled.Now on to the results.Place 1:Lord of the Elementals (fang)Score: 81.36 %Technical Score: 1st placeProduction Score: 1st placeGameplay Score: 1st placeElement Integration Score: 1st place (near-tie with 2nd - 1% difference)Place 2:Primordial Blues (rip-off)Score: 70.36 %Technical Score: 4th placeProduction Score: 2nd placeGameplay Score: 2nd placeElement Integration Score: 2nd place (near-tie with 1st - 1% difference)Place 3:Forest Defense (Kamen Kitanov)Score: 57.97 %Technical Score: 2nd placeProduction Score: 5th placeGameplay Score: 3rd placeElement Integration Score: 3rd placePlace 4-5 (tie):The Origin of Aliens (Erik Rufelt)Score: 46.67 %Technical Score: 5th placeProduction Score: 4th placeGameplay Score: 4th placeElement Integration Score: 4th placePlace 4-5 (tie):Cycle (XDigital)Score: 46.25 %Technical Score: 3rd placeProduction Score: 3rd placeGameplay Score: 5th placeElement Integration Score: 5th placeThe feedback (in words) is now available at the UFEC website:http://ufec.zymichost.com/entries.phpIf you notice any errors, inform me. Use this thread for discussion.I will contact the sponsors now to see if they are still able to deliver the prizes, then I will contact all the participants.You are still able to submit feedback. It will only not be taken into account for the results table.I enjoyed all the games I played (that is all except Primordial Blues that I was unable to launch) and congratulations to all participants and thank-you to all judges![Edited by - Lesan on May 20, 2010 10:22:45 AM]
  Very good work Lesan,thanks both to you and the community for the involvement in this event.I cannot comment on all of the results,because it would be subjective(as I'm a participant),however,I must say that the 1st place is in the right hands in my opinion (Congrats fang!).Personally I'm satisfied with my own accomplishment,because I've got a lot of feedback to think about,and when you get noticed by the majority of people around you,it always means something.Good luck,and I'm looking for the next 4 Elements contest.   ;  I personally haven't been following the contest too closely, and I haven't tried out any of the entries yet but I do want to give a big kudos to everyone that participated.   ;  Thanks, Lesan!I'm pleased at how the competition went and pleasantly surprised with the results.Lesan, is there any reason you didn't let me know about the problems you were having with my entry? I could have tried to figure out the problem had I known about it.   ;  The reason? ... ehm... I downloaded the entry only several hours before I made visible the judging... but I guess I shouldn`t have told this publicly ... :DAnyway, if you can tell me how to repair it, I`d be happy to give you feedback post-competition.   ;  Thanks Lesan, and thanks to all who played the games and commented on them. The feedbacks are very informative and I really learned a lot from this UFEC. sorry I mised this update since I've been kept very busy with an apartment hunt in NYC. anyway I'd say I liked each game entry and enjoyed playing them. can't wait to see the next UFEC (if there's enough interest in it).   ;  Chameleon Startup Manager by Neosoft Tools has been awarded and the keys have just been given to the top three finishers.Congratulations.
