First LD vs second LD

~~I don't know how many games have been ranked in each category for both this and the previous LD, so I'll compare the actual scores instead~~ [Added percentage comparaison below] :

Overall : 2.211 => 2.518 (+ 0.307)

Fun : 1.921 => 2.464 (+ 0.543)

Innovation : 2.684 => 2.929 (+ 0.245)

Theme : 2.474 => 2.722 (+ 0.248)

Graphics : 3 => 2.732 (- 0.268)

Audio : None => 1.8

Humour : 2 => 2.14 (+ 0.14)

Mood : 2.395 => 2.231 (- 0.164)

There's progress, and I do understand some of those results, but the comparison still hurts a bit. My first LD could barely be described as a game, my second one was a very bad game, but at least a game, I expected a bigger jump. Graphics going down, I disagree, I feel like my first LD got a "pity boost" for its graphics, which weren't better than the second's game (n°1 had 2 animations, one of which was playing backward, n°2 has 5 or 6 and they all work ! The backgrounds are much better looking, the 3D models are better...), but meh, I get the 2.7, it still looks awful. 1.8 in audio is the one that hurts the most, but I do know that I don't know anything about music and picked random notes to try to make a song, so I don't know what I really expected. Failing to reach an average score in any category is also very frustrating (in my ratings I considered 3 stars to be average), but again, being a beginner, I'm probably placing the bar a bit too high for myself. Mood, I don't think I even understand what the word mean, I've had a very hard time judging other game on this, so I don't really care.

Overall, better scores, there's progress, the game, this time, was a game, but there's still a ton of stuff to learn before I can safely say I did something good. Next goal score-wise probably will be to get a 3 in at least one category I guess...

Edit : Thanks to @adroitconceptions I do have more stats to show ! Here are the percentage of people who did worse than me :

Overall : 0.09 => 3.65

Fun : 0.28 => 9.38

Innovation : 11.23 => 26.87

Theme : 2.88 => 11.11

Graphics : 24.64 => 13.11

Audio : None => 1.4

Humour : 5.10 => 13.76

Mood : 3.69 => 2.08

The graphics one is even more frustrating, BUT : I've managed to leave the worse quarter on one category (innovation), something I didn't manage to do for my first LD ! I also manage to not be in the worst 1% in anything, even though my audio is really close to be in that. This stat is way better for my moral. The fun rating in particular, going from 1.9 to 2.4 felt like not enough between my two entries, but going from better than 0.3% to better than 9.4% is waaaaay better. More work to do, more learning to do, but there's progress, for real. Am a bit less sad thanks to this (thank you very much adroidconceptions for your numbers !).
