2021: Make Something Play Something
A four-pronged attack of a contest with categories in music, graphics, reviews and a game jam to top it all off. The prize fund in the end was well over £100 and generated some great games and assets.
Sacrificial Joy is the most impressive piece so it wins the contest.
Pudding entered three categories, posted the only review, and created multiple graphical resources in a set. He wins second place.
RyanArt created some amazing music which all fits together in a set. He wins third place.
Cam submitted the best game, I just felt the musical entries were better and so deserved the 1st place prize.
Xhukari and CoyoteCraft both deserve a mention (and I do feel bad choosing winners from a pool of five entrants).
Prizes:
DisguisedCrows wins £50 and 1st place.
Pudding wins £30 and 2nd place.
RyanArt wins £20 and 3rd place.
Cam wins £20 for having the best game in the game jam.
Xhukari and CoyoteCraft win £10 because why not.
eZine writeup incoming.
