I haven't tested most the the games yet, but looks to me like Twilight Realm will win.
/guesstimateI've finally decided that I won't be able to record and do first impressions like I wanted. Thing is, I'd end up paying for a moderately priced headset only to probably not use it again. Doing post-commentary probably wouldn't be very good either so I'm just going to stick with text reviews. Sorry to those of you who were looking forward to it. However, if I don't forget, I still plan on doing my worthless categorization awards.
Here's what, then. The best game to successfully invoke emotion out of me will receive the Ethereal Surge badge. Not that badges mean anything….And to the voting results, all I have to say is…wow.Still have the actual judging panel to beat though. But no matter what happens, I had a lot of fun, guys, and I'm just glad I finally had an excuse to finish a big game. The amount of relief from just getting things finished and tied up is indescribable. Although I do wonder how many people played what games all the way through.That being said, I can't wait for the next competition. I hate myself.@ Kilin: or you could just post in the game's comments? Seriously why are they there if no one is using them? As a developer, i think it's strange to have to look up people's blogs to see what they think of my games when i should be checking the game's page. (or maybe it's just me?)
I considered it. The problem is that people are much more likely to click a blog than they are someone else's game page. It's just kind of how things work I guess. If I lumped everything together, people might skim other games and see a few things they like, but in the end, most people want to see their own stuff and not other peoples'.
But you have a point. I guess as a reviewer I'm catering more toward the game designer than other people. Guess I'm just silently and futilely hoping other people will take that review and think "Hey, let me give this game another shot". But unfortunately, 64Digits has never really worked that way.Not that I'm complaining. Just something I've noticed. Guess I'll just do what you suggested. It's sensible after all.I noticed just now that I guess a lot.What about the "reviews:" line on the game's page? is that ever going to become something? i haven't seen any games that have anything other than "none" there.
It's a tentative feature that hasn't been implemented yet. Funny though because I was just thinking about it today. I need to brush up on my web design so I can do more around here. I used to mess around with the code a bit but it's kind of something you need to practice and I haven't been doing that much.
Okay, so I tried to record commentary for my top five games and got yelled at by my family.
So, that's not gonna happen unless I magically get my own place.Anyway.1. Twilight realm
In my opinion the most professional game in this competition.Had much fun with it.2. Shattered World: Beneath A Stone SkyNormally I hate this genre, 'cause anytme when I play a tactical RPG (Fire Emblem, Advance Wars etc.) there comes a point when I have to cancel playing forever… But this game was a surprise for me, I passed it!3. Dungeon Men: Men of DungeonsI like those games where you can choose and modify your characters. Also it's very nostalgic for me but unfortunately it's a little bit too oldschool, I hate random encounters, so this game made it just to number three in my ranking.4. Beluas and Castles Three letters: F U N. It shows that graphics isn't the most important thing in a game but the GAMEplay is.5. WalkObscure entry. Liked it, unfortunately it isnt finished yet but I hope it will sometime.1. Dungeon Men: Men of Dungeons
2.The War has come3.Pixel RPG4.The Singularity5.Dungeon Ace
