Alright guys, I am sorry for not being on recently, and I meant to post this earlier, but I forgot. This is the first tournament of the year, and I hope it is also the first with an award ceremony which there must be 4 submitted games to happen.
I am excited as this month's theme is Darkness as chosen by the voters. Last time we had Darkness, Jagmaster and his game won: Mine-Bot- viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12296&p=87230&hilit=August#p87230
There is only one rule and that is everyone, but the master judge can enter, but if a judge enters, he/she can not judge their own game, so I will message the master judge, unless they are me, how it works.
Theme- x/10- how well does it follow the theme of this tournament? If the theme total is less than an average of five points, you are disqualified.
Originality- x/10- Is this a new game, or is the same one that we always play and see?
Creativity- x/10- Do they use the elements in this game to enhance game-play?
Title- x/10- If you saw the title of this game, would it make you want to read the back?
sound- x/5- Do they fit in with the graphics, story, and overall, sound good?
music- x/5- Do they fit in with theme, story, action, and overall, make the tempo of the game?
graphics- x/10- Do they appeal to you, do they fit in with the theme, are they a good fit to the story?
game-play- x/10- Is this something with replay value, is it addicting, is it something that is was worth playing?
overall- x/20- How do you feel about this game as a whole?
Judge Total- x/90- The judge grading this must add up the above total to get one grand Judge Total.
Judge Bonus- x/10- Colorful (The bonus must enhance the game, if you just put it in, but it adds no value to the overall feeling towards the game, then the bonus will not count).
Master Judge Rubric:
Master Total- x/90j- j=number of judges- Master Judge adds up all of Judges' score to get one grand master total.
Master Bonus- x/10j- j=number of judges- Master Judge adds up all of Judges' score to get one grand master bonus total.
The deadline is the 11:59:59 of January 21st. If there is 4 contestants, judge week is 22nd-28th, and the award ceremony is 29th-30th.
If you want to be a judge, say so on this topic, or pm me, or if you see me on chat, you can tell me on there. Judges, do not release scores at all and do not judge until judge week.
Have fun and get started!
