Announcing the winners of the Festive Amiga Games Making Competition

[Cammy]

Hi everyone!

Well, you've all had a month now to download and try out the entries for the first Festive Amiga Games Making Competition and give them your five-star rating, and now it's time for us to announce the winners. Thank you to everyone who participated by entering the competition and those who played the games and rated them. We still plan on helping all entrants to finish their games and add the finishing touches to them so that they can be released on CD as well as free downloads from our website and Aminet.

Now, without further ado, I present to you the winners of the first Festive Amiga Games Making Competition:

First Prize: X-Mas Disaster 2999 - GUS Entertainment (Jordi Palome, Juan A. Gomez and Carlos Peris)
(Receiving a signed Award Certificate, USB Rocket Launcher, RGB-S-Video Adapter, two Control Pads, PCMCIA 5-in-1 Card Reader, a box of 25 Floppy Disks, Oscar & Diggers for CD32 and the Festive Games CD)

Second Prize: X-Mas Syman - Ultimate Amiga (Hungry Horace and Mihcael)

Third Prize: Cornelius Saves Christmas - Atropos Studios (Alkis Polyrakis)

Runners-up will all receive a signed Award Certificate for participating, as well as a copy of the Festive Games CD, once it's finished.

I'd like to personally congratulate everyone who participated and helped make this such a successful Amiga event, and hope you will all join in on future projects and contests. With your help, we will keep the Amiga spirit alive for years to come!

Due to the positive response to our first competition, Underground Arcade will now begin running quarterly Amiga Games Making Competitions, with details on our next competition "Retro Remix" coming very shortly!

Very good points, we fully intend on evolving this contest into something more professional than the last-minute Christmas one. Here's a photo of the competition prizes under the Amiga Christmas Tree



If the contestants would like to private message or email me with their postal addresses, we'll send these prizes out as soon as we can!

Hi rednova!

The girl in the photo is me.

You can get a girl that looks like me from this factory - http://popcultureshocktoys.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/dsc076421.jpg

hbarcellos, I have some very good friends from Brazil, and being an Amiga using Brazilian is just extra cool! I could really do with some dinner too, but you'll have to buy, I'm broke! :p

Thanks

And dressing like Batman would be pretty cool in my book!

Wacko is probably an accurate decription of me, so I'm not offended a bit :p

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for the great response! We would gladly accept any donated prizes for the next competition, developers and non-developers alike. It would really help encourage more involvement in the next competition, I hope as well as boost people's spirits so they will be more motivated to work on games.

If anyone has a serious offer about prizes for the competition, please send me a private message. Thanks!

Thanks A4000 Mad, but I'm not too sure everyone is happy about me being here. Some guys have come to treat Amiga forums as their exclusive "boy's club" and don't seem to like it when women post here and on the other Amiga forums.

Also, I wanted to ask all you guys who have costumes something. I've been working on a new game for AGA Amigas called Halloween Nightmare. It's based in modern times on Halloween night, and lots of characters you meet are people in costumes. Would any of you like to guest-star in the game, in a pixellated-animated form? Your image would be drawn in anime style but based on how you look in your costume. Perhaps you could be a character who answers the door and gives out candy, or someone you meet in the park who gives you a clue. A few other Amiga users have already volunteered to be in the game too.

So, what do you guys think?

I guess you must have missed it, but we already started a thread about the next competition already. You can find the rules here - http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=51375

I'm sorry if it's not enough time.
