LBPC: The Game Room Creation Contest!- Over, Results on page 17 :kz:

[SledKnight]

Then I look forward to getting my eyes on the levels with more 'Good' and less 'Meh' and then I can go on a personal journey of self-discovery... or something like that. LOL

[Emogotsaone]

I wish i could have entered... ):

[RoseScythe]

RESULTS ARE IN! Or close enough, I unno, I think I came up with a good enough scoring system, and yeah.

TOP FIVE

SledKnight- LOST SCORE: 7.25
Gravel- YOU CAN DREAM IT SCORE: 9.5
RoseScythe SILENT HILL SCORE: 10.75
OneEyedBanshee SIG EXCHANGE SCORE: 12.5
Outlaw Jack OUTLAW FLYERS SCORE: 14.75

Those five are definitively in. Congratz to you.

Also congratz to the following:

mrradical's SURVIVOR SCORE: 5
chuck 18_mp ARCHIVE SCORE: 5.75

.. Go you! There were a few others, but I decided to cut the gap at precisely 5 points.

We also didn't judge a few we thought, well, weren't good enough to be judged. /cough

At any rate, thanks to everyone who participated, even if you weren't accepted . I'll talk to CC about your exp whenever it comes back. I'll also see what I can do about Ultimate Bundles to everyone who was accepted since I think they deserve it. Yep.

... Thank goodness this contest is over XD

... THIS CONTEST IS OVAH

So, anyone wanna go on a murderous rampage that they didn't get in/ any team members want to say "meh" and accept a few more? This isn't a guarantee... I may accept a few more, and if so I'll give you you... "just" rewards... D:

K, bring on the angry mob!

Lol, this is a surprise. I wasn't even expecting my level to be judged. Thank you! But now I'm all confuddled... first it was in... then it was too much of a thermo hog... now it's in again?

I'm getting dizzy. Feel free to use it if you want, and if you don't... meh

I'm not bothered about xp or anything like that, I just want to know that you're still actually using the room I took the trouble to make for you. If not it's very rude to accept it initially and then throw it out in favour of 2 rooms you yourself rejected, especially as one of the creators basically told you to 'stuff it' as he couldn't be arsed to change it.

I think you misinterpretted that post of mine Vista, although reading it now I can see why, lol



At the time I may have been a little ticked off that the possibility of using the thermo cheat was renegged after I'd actually created the room and was told it was definitely in...

The way I designed the room, I would have been hard pressed to lower the thermo it used without completely starting from scratch. The layout was built around 2 elevators, which I would've had to remove, thus forcing me to redesign the entire thing to prevent the player from being stuck.

Seeing as how Rock said it was too thermo heavy to use, and that due to Uni I didn't have time to rebuild it, I thought it was best to just withdraw from the contest.

[RockSauron]

Yeah... I'm actually thinking of changing the requirements for being accepted in this. At the moment, it's merely a matter of numbers- For example, Gravel's room had three first places, yet at least 1 person outright failed it and pretty much everyone else mehed it. But it still got to the end because those three ones managed to push it to 15 points based on the opinions of less then half the team.

So yeah, basically, I was thinking of taking Rick's advice and adding that if it has too many "mehs" or "fails" to it, to not accept it because we wouldn't have a majority opinion... the problem is I already declared results XD Ah, I should have asked my team about my scoring system first >_< Well, aside from Burnvictim I mean.

[RoseScythe]

Why not just have each member of the team score each room out of five in various areas: Gameplay, Visuals, thermo , etc. Average the score for each area and then total them for an overall score.

Eg.

Visuals 5, 4, 3.5, 5

Average: 4.5

Gameplay 2, 3.5, 3, 2.5

Average: 2.75



Overall: 7.25

It may change each room's overall score but I doubt it'd affect the outcome of the contest, as it stands you only published the scores for the top 5 rooms...

Just a thought...

[mr Radical 5601•]

Ouch... According to rock, not many people liked mistervista's room, yet he outscored me... Meaning even fewer liked mine... And since I didn't think that there were too many judges... ouch again...

[Outlaw-Jack•]

Yes, I too would like to see the results of this judging system you have implemented (even though it sounds as though you did it on the fly...), just so we can have a better evaluation of how our rooms actually did.

And, from the looks of it, I feel as though my room was judged improperly... even though I really do like that 14.75...

Lol, was it that obvious?

I'm not. I'm not part of the team, it was just a suggestion...

[Burnvictim42]

All seven members of the team judged the rooms (myself, rick, lady, rock, takelow, joey, and SLS) in two different ways. First, we decided whether a room was awesome, quality, or not quite up to snuff. (technically we used other words, but these more reflect the views intended) We then each picked our top five favorite rooms, numbering them 1 through 5. Rock combined these scores, and created this scale:

Not so good = 0 points
quality = .5 points
awesome = 1 point
awesome (5th place) = 1.25 points
awesome (4th place) = 1.5 points
awesome (3rd place) = 1.75 points
awesome (2nd place) = 2 points
awesome (1st place) = 2.5 points

Each rooms score was equal to the total of the judging scores. A rather top heavy scale was created as a result of combining the two systems, leading to the huge dissimilarity in points. Many of the rooms which were submitted unfortunately were not judged, due to issues we found while testing them (broken rooms, multiplayer issues, conflicts with other rooms in the level) or too vague a LBPC theme.

If you wish for more detailed scoring on your particular room, send me a PM, and I will oblige. (Judging will remain anonymous, but I will give my personal feedback, and a general overview of scores recieved).

Hope that helps

Lol, was it that obvious?

(Oi. People always criticizing my comments these days... >.<)

I already knew the system was at fault. Just... nevermind.
