[BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

Zag, did you get Koko's submission from me? I can't remember if I send that to you or not, we got it a little later than the first wave. If not, let me send it. It's pretty good. I'm backing out on my submission, because it's not object oriented enough for what you guys are looking for. If I have the time, I might restart the project, but idk yet.

Send it over, I didn't get it.

Everyone forgot about it.

There's only a handful people who can actually design something good on this site. I gave it a shot and couldn't come up with anything spectacular so I ditched my idea. I'm pretty sure others did the same too.

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

I might try another attempt at my idea for a simple somewhat "retro/8-bit" design, but I need to find the time first.

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

I haven't forgotten about it. It just seemed like there was no interest. I don't care if I win or not, I'd be satisfied that my skin was considered for the engine. And that means quite a bit for me.

*edit* Time to finish this thang....

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

Well, from what I have seen, you and kokobeanie are the only ones that have submitted skins that the developers are truly somewhat fond of..so unless we get more submissions, this won't be much of a contest.

We have to be patient lol, there aren't many submissions.

Don't worry

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

Based on the revised OP. The only reason some judges didn't give Genesis a high score was because it was in a 2.5 dimension. Correct me if I'm wrong cause no one gave a reason why it deserved a score like that. (I'm not mad about the scores. I'm just a bit annoyed at how there was no reasoning for a score like that.)

I'm going to make a new skin that's solely based on what the judges want this time and see what happens. Seems that a majority of them prefer vector based works.

Also, I still think the judging system should be changed to what I suggested to make it more community based, but that's fine if it doesn't.

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

It probably will be...but I think we'll just kinda start doing that for new submissions...the other ones for the most part just weren't the quality the dev's are looking for, and yeah... Quite honestly I thought your Genesis skin was pretty good. Only thing I could think of for it is maybe they thought it was too unprofessional looking in the sense that it was really over-the-top and meant to appeal to a general audience with the "cool design" (which is really the audience FFR is, so I think it probably would have been fine). That and perhaps they wanted more of a uniform standard for box sizes, so they weren't creating boxes for everything and could reuse one in particular? I dunno. We'll switch the judging style and demand more detailed input for the skins that are actually decent.

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

I wouldn't say it's unproffesional cause it actually wasn't, but based on other subbmissions it was deffinatly "over-the-top".

Whatever the reason behind some of the judges scores was, I'm making one last skin and it's going to be completely different from what I normally make.

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

Well I wouldn't throw Genesis out of the window, it might get offered to the public as well for the voting in the end.

Re: [BW Contest] I'll Skin You Alive!

Once the actual game and skin interfacing is complete, building new skins wont be TOO difficult. So if a lot of the public wants a skin, no matter how much I dislike it, I can make it into a skin.

Keep the skins coming.
