Rating time is finally over. First off, congratulations to all participants! There were a ton of great games and I was honoured to have had the privilege to rate them (the ones I could get to, anyways :P).<\/p>\n

Now that all is said and done, I\u2019d like to briefly reflect on the results of my submission, Eat Champ<\/a>. Like I mentioned in a previous blog post, I\u2019m still a bit disappointed and even a little embarassed of it. I\u2019m happy with the idea I went with, but I know I failed at executing it. And my game\u2019s ratings show how people seemed to agree with that, as\u2026wait, what?<\/p>\n

\u2026okay, I know not a ton of people reviewed my game, but hey, I\u2019ll take it! I really didn\u2019t expect to get top 50 in anything, or even top 100 (it scored pretty high in humour too, but maybe not for the reasons I intended XD). Hooray! At the very least, this tells me that the game\u2019s concept was indeed something different, which is what I was aiming for. On the other hand, I scored pretty low in Fun and Overall, which doesn\u2019t come to me as a surprise. So my main goal for next time (and in general) is to work on my execution; I can\u2019t just have an idea I think is interesting and call it a day, I have to put forth enough effort to really make it *work*. I\u2019m glad I had the opportunity to make these mistakes in such a positive environment, as it provided me with much helpful feedback & encouragement for improving my game design skills. Special thanks to everyone who rated & reviewed my game; I wouldn\u2019t be here without you! \":)\"<\/p>\n

This LD has been a very valuable learning experience in so many ways. Hopefully I\u2019ll be able to hone my skills enough by the time LD30 comes around! See you all then!<\/p>","time":"May 22nd, 2014 6:38 am","title":"Reflection on Results","title_was_empty":false}
