Cyberpunk is dead. We want to save her! Bring her back.Post your thought, ideas, works in process design documents and anything about the project in here! The competition closed for entries at the end of June 2010.
. . It was a very difficult judging process as the entries were of a very high standard. This helps to explain our tardiness. Although it doesn't excuse it. Well done Madunkieg, please email me and we can make arrangements for your prize.
I'll put up some general thoughts on my blog over the coming weeks.
As for Technogrammaton, if you don't finish that game, I'm going to have to come round your house (after asking Angus where you live) and give you a stiff talking to. It was 17 pages of incomplete brilliance and such a pity that you didn't get the opportunity to expand and refine it.
Thanks everyone! Especially to the judges who gave me the excuse to make this game and took the time to run this contest. I love cyberpunk, but hadn't looked at it in so long because my gaming style had changed from what rpgs offered.
There are great ideas throughout the entries. I'm looking forwards to see what you do with your various projects and hoping things don't end here.
I'd love to see a few of these projects refined and honed into the great games that they could potentially become.
I know I'll be continuing to work on FUBAR.
In the meantime, I'd be interested to see some of the discussions among the judges, and their critiques on the various games. (If such things are suitable for public consumption).
I think all the entries had their own high points, and all the authors deserve the utmost in feedback. I've got a 10 page document of ratings for the contest. However, its not yet ready for the public, with several entries as only the cliff notes version and others lacking my usual polish. There will be a bit of a delay as I try to attend to some other languishing projects and because I want to do these reviews right.
One thing I'll say right now is that I had a lot of trouble reading FUBAR simply due to the choice of font. 120% magnification minimum was required for screen reading, and printing didn't really come out clear either.
