THE SIXTH ANNUAL HACKING CONTEST RESULTS

I actually fixed these problems, but by the time I had got around to this the deadline for updating hacks had already passed, and I didn't want to create more delays. =P

Also, congrats to all the other winners.

 

See Rika, people love you and your work! Finish S2AE one day! Please! =(

And of course, congrats to all the winners! :v: Maybe I'll enter next year.

 

Just... wow! What a good haul! Thanks a lot Ayla and other judges, for your kind words and generosity, they make all the hard work and grind worthwhile. As proud as we are of this hack, I cant help but be astonished by how well we did amongst the sheer amount of quality hacks that were entered this year.

Apologies to the people who would like to play Sonic Boom, especially in light of these contest results. As much as we'd like to release publically, we've been working at this hack for a few years now, with a definite design plan and a criteria for release in mind. At the moment, despite progressing in leaps and bounds, and really wanting to let it out in the world, that criteria has still not been met, and until it is, it will continue to be private. I think it will be worth the wait, and I'd rather show it off when the surprise is finished, than spoil all the surprises prematurely. Sorry to be a spoilsport.


Hopefully this will whet your appetite for now

 

Wow.
Just, wow.
That's fantastic work you guys, I can obviously see that you've worked on this for a long time. Keep this up!

 

S2:AE deserved the top spot (and I'm saying this as somewhat who put his heart and soul into Megamix) but only serves to twist the knife even further. Damnit Rika, get up and finish this thing plz :/

Also, DFZ boss > qiuu's boss *is shot*

 

Oh yes, I forgot about that before. Congratulations, Rika. Your hack is awesome, please keep working on it! :D

 

No need to justify. I'm proud of what I've done so far, but I'm not blind to the outstanding quality around me.

Can we have a Master System category next year? =P

 

Good contest, and good idea posting what you thought about each hack. I knew I wasn't going to win anything with Sonic: The Lost Worlds, but it was worth it to be able to see what you thought about it, which is better than what I expected. Hearing that it "will contend with the others once object layouts are implemented" makes me want to get it done by the next contest.
And I hope you don't leave the scene. These contests have to keep happening.

 

Wow, congratz to all. I'm surprised that Megamix didn't win the 1st prize, but the hack of Rika is really awesome too. Sad that is discontinued.

 

Aww, how sweet. :P

 

Well done everyone. I think we should sticky this so everyone will know

Oh nos. I past 10 posts

Good contrast. Looking forward to next years

 

Glad you like it. Then after that it will go in archive

Interesting results

Congratulations to all the winners!

 

Totally awesome. I didn't see that coming - thanks Ayla! Now I have my own personal trophy to try and defend next year...

Good choice of winner, by the way. Advanced Edit is my favourite hack so it's good to see it get the recognition it deserves.

 

It's the same ROM from last year =P. I never changed it at all. Also the levels ARE beatable, you just have to avoid tubes.

 

Really interesting results showing that there seem to be a couple of interesting hacks to watch out for that are worked on behind the scenes.

I agree with ColinC10, Advanced Edit is my favourite hack as well.

Four trophies it's like...wow for a hack as small as mine. These seem to be the non-conventional trophies that not too many other hacks compete for.
Thanks Ayla for your comments!
And I think I should come up with a proper name for the next release...

:P
