Moderator's Choice Award, September

[DarkMage31]

As September draws to a close, I have selected one game that I feel is, or has the potential to be, a great game. Please understand that my chosing is very subjective. Also, no arguing. I am the final mediator in any disputes over this selection.

Okay, the winner for this month may be a little bit of a surprise.

The winner is...

Pok?mon Shadow

Congratulations, pkmn! I will PM you the link to the award image as soon as it is made. You can put it in your signature, print it out and tape it to your forehead, whatever you want.

Why Shadow, you ask?
1) Shadow is one of the first games to effectively utilize the Team Project CBS
2) The CBS is highly customized with extra added attacks and effects.
3) Nice grass animation, custom message system, etc
4) Good use of music (ex: team rocket)

Things to improve upon (constructive criticism)
1) Was the town Pallet Town? Or was it original? If original, it looks too much like Pallet
2) The door opening animation was too blocky. Try increasing the movement frequency
3) A few typos. Like in that screen. It should be "wants" not "want's"

Other than that, nice job! You have a solid foundation here to build upon. Good luck in future developments, and congratulations!

And remember, there are lots of games here, so if you game wasn't chosen this time, it may be in the future!

The Moderator's Choice award is coming up for October really fast!

Anyone have any nominations? No you can not nominate your own game.

 

[Krazy_Meerkat]

No games have really shined that brightly this month.. Is it necessary to give out the award?

 

[PokeOnic]

If only I could make a CBS... sigh...

I actually figured out how to make stats, but I still have troubles figuring out what to do to make different party members, as in, not exact party members, but parties that may have different members as in *Gets slapped*

You get the point, teams that don't have to have certain exact members


If could make a CBS, I could make an Awesome game

 

[rubyrulez]

That doesn't exactly belong here...

 

[PokeOnic]

I was continuing the conversation about there being no big shining standing out game this month

 

[Sorye HK]

That's probably because people might want to stay quiet until new updates and stuff.
Plus, on some months there are many demos coming out at once.

 

[DarkMage31]

Okay, I'll decide when the end of the month comes. I know who's going to win Game of the Year though :)

 

[DMMP]

Game of the Year: Call of Latios. Also, December and January are going to be big Demo/Final release months. Look for alot of releases then.

 

[DarkPegasus]

Pokemon of the wood

I would like to nominate Pokemon of the wood by DMMP(P.S. DMMP keep you mouth closed,ha,ha,ha...).

 

[DarkMage31]

Game of the Year: Call of Latios.

Couldn't keep it secret for long :P

 

[DarkPegasus]

I would like to know who won the October's award!

 

[DarkMage31]

How about this: Krazy_Meerkat gets it because of his work on the CBS. But he's not around anymore, so no point in making the image :P

 

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Yay :)
Thanks for thinking of me

 

[DarkMage31]

Wait, you're still around? I thought you don't have internet at your new place? Do you want that image?

 

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I don't! I was just at my dad's for the weekend and while I am here I may as well make the most of it :P
No you don't have to worry about that piccy, it was a nice thought either way :)

 

[¡Chucho!]

What game is the Nov winner?

 

[DarkMage31]

I'm still deciding. I'll decide by the end of today :)

 

[¡Chucho!]

Um, it's already December

 

[DarkMage31]

lol, let's skip straight to Game Of the Year. I know who it is already. Just have to make the award image.
