SAGameDev Challenge X - 2015 LOGO PSD http://www.awfuljams.com It's all over! Go play those goon games! http://www.awfuljams.com/games Join us Friday August 7th and Saturday the 8th for the GONG SHOW and Friday August 14th for the JUDGING stream. Twitch.tv/SAGameDev  CRITICAL OMISSION IS YOUR THEME We have a Twitter: @SAGameDev which will be used *strictly* for important announcements. Not to clog your feed with retweets and other social media garbage. Need help forming a team? Want to talk to other devs during the jam, or ask for help when everything inevitably goes terribly wrong? Join #SAGDC on synirc. If you have any trouble with the site, send an email to admin@sagamedev.net It’s that time again! Every year brave game developers come together for a singular purpose: making games. This is the Something Awful Game Dev Challenge, where you are tasked with the full month of July to create a game following a given theme. This year is the first year we’re opening SAGDC up to the public! How do I submit / announce my team? 'SAGDC X' premieres a slick new web-interface to automate key aspects of the jam process. Go to http://www.awfuljams.com and press the 'Join Jam' button to establish your team and maintain your game page. You're free to wait until later to establish a game page. Game pages aren't published until the end of the competition, you can however give out a link to your game page early for testing / previewing purposes. Everyone will be free to join, make a team & game page until the very last moment of the Jam (1AM CST August 1st). For submitting games, we will enable submitting your finalized zipped game for the judges during the final week. Submissions to judges are final, so be sure to test your game thoroughly. Public versions of your game can be updated as much as you’d like, even after the competition ends. **You are responsible for hosting your game for public play on your game-page.** The Judging Process We’ve revamped the scoring and judging system from previous years. For SAGDC X, submitted games will be split up between the 6 judges. Judges will rate each game on a scale from 1 to 5, and provide a few paragraphs of critique and reflection. Each judge will pick 2 “top picks” from their given batch, all judges will then play each-other’s top picks. The process culminates in a live-streamed deliberations phase, where we decide together the best submissions for each category. Your Intrepid Judges * Everdraed * InternetJanitor * JamesRossi * JonTerp * Mido * poemdexter Categories * Game of the Year - The judge's pick for best game overall. * Best Style - Pick for most use of art and stylistic choice. * Best Narrative - Our choice for best story and narrative design. * Best Game Design - Goes to the game with the most compelling mechanics and gameplay. * Best Use of Theme - For clever incorporation of the jam's theme. *Best Use of Audio - Chosen for clever use of audio and sound design * Community Choice - Game that's picked as the community favorite. Note: You cannot win multiple categories, winning in any category removes you from running in the others (Except Game of the Year). This is just to ensure even distribution of prizes. Prizes! Oh boy do we have them. Through the pure generosity of a few kind-hearted developers and publishers this year is set to be the biggest prize pool in SAGDC history. Below are our currently secured prizes, we're still in talks to get more. Most prizes will be secured once the E3 chaos subsides. Keep an eye on the @SAGameDev Twitter for more announcements. GOTY Grand Prize * Super Swag-box Grande ----A large box of merchandise from our friends in the industry. * The Goon-pack ----A bundle of the most authentic Goon games on Steam. GOTY Runner-Up * The Goon-pack ---- A bundle of the most authentic Goon games on Steam. Category Winner * Swag-bag ---- A swag-bag of merchandise from our friends in the industry. * The Goon-pack ---- A bundle of the most authentic Goon games on Steam. Best Unreal Engine Game *Epic Swag Pack Best Unity Game *Full Unity Pro License. ---- A fully featured Unity 5 Pro license key. Best Sound * 1st place: SFX Bundle from Boom Libraries * 2nd place: Construction Kit from Boom Libraries * 3rd place: Desigend edition from Boom Libraries Community Choice * The Community Prize * To be determined Special thanks to the developers & third parties providing prizes! * [Bungie] * [Boom Library] * [Epic Games] * [FanGamer] * [Unity] The Wall of Shame The wretched edifice that foreverial records a prideful dev’s hubris. If you say you will make a game for SAGDC but fail to deliver, your name ends up on the wall. You don’t want this to happen. We don’t want this to happen either though, so we do our best to give opportunities to escape its dreadful surface. It hungers. This year, the shame wall has gained sentience and a cold robot heart. There is no escape, no place to hide. Your shame will be immortalized for all future generations to see. Bounties GOON-ONLY Posters can put forward bounties to reward devs for meeting specific criteria. For example, ‘I will give $10 to the dev that best uses  in their game’ or ‘one copy of bad rats for the game with the worst physics implementation.’ It is entirely up to bounty givers to choose their winner(s) and deliver promised rewards. This is for the thread ONLY, and does not apply to games made by non-goons.Available Bounties KRILLIN IN THE NAME : Avatar certificate for most tasteful dad-dong. Shalinor : 5x Hot Tin Roof Deluxe for best use of cats.

Heisenberg1276 posted:Hahaha, I guess they didn't click that link. LOL. Random aside on my game: judges were complaining that the B. Stag character did not have an authentic southern accent, but the character is explicitly stated to be from Dallas and his accent was 100% authentic, so ya'll just revealed yourselves to be ignorant of the finer dialectical differences between different forms of North American English speech. Other random aside: had a goon game party with some friends the other night and what.exe got a lot of play. It is now the official backstory of this Slam Fighter II character:  . All of it, including turning into a cosmic goat and assassinating the president.

Took forever to upload for some reason, but this is the screenshot of the retweet (expanded mode, rather than collapsed): Late, but whatever. Also, I have voted! Sadly, last I checked, I was the only one who voted for the game that should win. Start making better votes people.

We have a new post mortem feature on the site! Once the judging ends (August 14th) you'll be able to submit a post mortem on the "Edit Game" Page. Your post mortem will appear under the judges review, so you can get the final word on those mean corrupt vampire-men that call themselves judges.

Heisenberg1276 posted:For final judging: The version of Critical Admission submitted to judges was marked as Mac only but does contain a (buggy) build for Windows. If the other judges want to play it on Windows you're better off using the one from itch so you can see the late-game content. The only difference is the fix of a null error which usually happens around level 7 (Though of course it's fair enough to count the crash against us, you might as well see the main part of the game). Just posting this in the new thread for any judges who missed it in the last one. In other news. Critical Admission will soon be available in Chinese! as soon as I figure out a way to reload all of the text in the game after the language is changed...

But sure, if the language change feature works it could support all the languages!I'm really just adding it so that my wife's mother can play the game though. The only real problem is it that Haxeflixel isn't good at word-wrap for Chinese, so I have to break the lines manually.
