@ronaldo I sincerely apologise.
I misunderstood and honestly thought that it was a strange request.
I will remove the post.

ronaldo · 00:43, 12 November 20

No problem, @ervin. I understand your doubts and I know that you meant well. Next time just contact us directly when in doubt and we will help you with anything. There is also no problem at all with what you said in your post. But sometimes readers may missunderstand you and start developing incorrect ideas on normal things. I have seen it happen many times.

The main part of the ceremony will be in English.
And although some juries will perform their evaluation of the games in Spanish, there will be, as every year, visual representation of the votes so that nobody gets lost!

In fact, there was one entry not accepted in first place (which would have been number 52) and 2 disqualified entries. In all the cases, according to the rules of the contest. Authors were contacted and reasons explained to them. As far as we know, all authors understand the reasons and there has been no problem other than disappointment, which is expectable, even if you understand and agree with the reasons.

In any case, we think is better not to publish the reasons, as this is author's private information (the reason they were disqualified for, I mean). You may ask authors and, if they want to make reasons public, that's perfecly okay for us. Just not overruling their right not to say anything if they prefer not to do so in public. In any case, reasons are not anything misterious: just in accordance to the rules of the contest.

Norman · 19:23, 12 November 20

Yes, the reasons would've been interesting. Would it be possible to sufficiently anonymize them to learn what we should not do when submitting an entry? Though on the other hand I can perfectly understand why you wouldn't make this information public.

Anyway, looking forward to tomorrow!

Cheers

GUNHED · 22:03, 12 November 20

Yes, just to omit pitfalls.

Hi, I'm John Lobo, the author of Dr.Roland, one of the disqualified games of this CPCRetroDev edition.

My game is an adaptation of Nintendo NES Dr.Mario to the CPC... and that was the problem... :-(

I wanted to make a version of the classic, adding new features to make it a different game, but the truth is that the final result still looks quite similar to the original game... my bad.

As Ronaldo has mentioned, the rules were clear, and I was aware that the game was on the edge since I began to code it, so, nothing to complain about the disqualification.

Anyway, I think that Dr.Roland is a pretty decent game, and it is quite enjoyable, so I'm planning to release it to the public here in the forum in a few weeks.

I hope you will like it.

Regards.

Dang I missed it.

congrats to all participants and winners.

AMSDOS · 01:43, 14 November 20

I've compiled a list of the other games which weren't a part of the award ceremony (games 36 to 49), which I'll have a look at in another thread when they become available. Please let me know in a PM if you're uncomfortable with this though.

Congratulations to everybody involved! And the big winner is....the CPC!

mr_lou · 07:37, 14 November 20

Some great games as always, which I'm looking forward to play in depth in the near future.

@Xyphoe Any chance your stream from last night will be available as a video? I'm not as full of energy as most of you young people. I can't stay awake during those late streams.

Arnaud · 07:54, 14 November 20

The Award Ceremony was very nice, it was a good time.
Now i am waiting the replay on youtube with substitules because sometime the speaking in spanish was so quickly i don't understand

Xyphoe's videos are usually available around 10 hours after the stream.
Really looking forward to watching it.
