2015 Misaos - The CATEGORIZATIONS

Most Likely to Sweep the Board Award.

2014 Misaos - The RESULTATIONS

It's interesting to hear that you're remaking ONESHOT in XP. Good on you guys. Wish you all the best.


This. I'm glad to hear it.

Cowardly Deviation.

2014 Misaos - The RESULTATIONS

This is super off-topic, but I'm going to keep risking it. XD

Both my games Social Caterpillar and the contest version of Last Word use that 2x2 pixel resolution for the backdrops.

Example:



The style isn't like Oneshot or Home/Off, but I'm not seeing why the "style" of less resolution isn't possible in XP. And I'm not on the platform of a person who knows anything about the other engines; I don't use 2k3 and I've never used VX. It just seems to me that whether it was Unity or Construct 2 or XP, you could make the graphics look just as big-pixel-y as you want.

EDIT: Does it have to do with the 640x480 resolution?

Glad most of the awards were won by a 2k3 game.
Honestly the overly fancy art style of XP and the character sprites of VX Ace are what keeps me from really wanting to use said programs.

This doesn't make sense. Neither of the things you mentioned are more than options in both engines, if not every engine. HOME/OFF are prime examples of NOT using default assets, aren't they? So how can that be a deterrent?

Best Game I Didn't Play nominations.

2014 Misaos - The RESULTATIONS

Rather than a three-category rule, maybe once a game wins a category, every other category it has votes in loses 2-5% of the vote weight. So if Oneshot got GOTY with 51 votes, then Oneshot's Atmosphere had 50 votes, Atmosphere would be counted as having 47.5-49 votes instead. It's a small cut that might not make a difference in the categories the game deserves, but could shuffle them out of the categories they were voted for "just cuz gam good." The weight lightening would accrue, and completely irrelevant categories would suffer deeper cuts, but could still be hypothetically heavy enough to win out.

I think we just have to accept that the Misaos are in some respects a popularity contest.


I thought every situation in which things are judged based on the amount of votes they receive is a popularity contest.

2014 Misaos - The RESULTATIONS

I'm pretty disappointed that The Heart Pumps Clay was so low in the Characters category. I detect a lack of people playing the game!

But it's alright, because I found that if I mentally disqualify the votes of people I don't think deserved to vote, all of my nominations actually won.

Congratulations, everyone(shot)!

Oneshot

I'd guess it takes about thirty days to make a game like this, if you really push it.

Trailer & Steam Greenlight!

Great work, and good luck! Looks like you guys have been working pretty heavily on this!
