RandomSwordmaster Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 *looks at strawpolls* Well I'm not winning any awards, but it's nice to know that some people liked my submission (also who the heck put it in for the sadist award? it's literally impossible to lose if you know what to do...unless they never figured out what to do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Congratulation to viewer's choice for being the most voted for category!!!!And to Tale of Purt for being the most voted for submission, of course.I didn't get close in the category I was aiming for, but a medal is a medal.That will be my inspiration for next time.

MarkyJoe1990 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Alright, so I guess I should toss in some thoughts. Firstly, I still haven't made my choices for each award yet. I've decided that my personal favorite is gonna be two choices because you'd have to hold a fucking gun to my head to make me decide between Tale Of Purt and Ragefest Revengeance. Those two submissions are the best submissions the contest has ever had, IMHO. The first thing I wanna bring up is that I totally feel like some submissions did not get the recognition they deserve. Particularly Trapped In Painful Places. Yeah, I know I gave that one a lot of flack when I first finished it, but my opinion of it has gotten better and better over time, and I feel like it's one of the most replayable submissions. I still stand that - *yawn* all together now - part 2's gameplay really lets the submission down, but for a while, HeyItsKyo convinced me that it was one of the most strategic submissions in the contest, and I still might give it my pick for the Strategist Award, and it's definitely getting the artist award from me. I mean. The artistic direction of the submission is fantastic really. The map in particular with its unique palette and how it looks, but I'm also referring to the musical choices and the atmosphere. Part 2 really does feel like this otherworldly, hellish purgatory, bolstered by an odd remix of Dragon's Gate I and the "inside out" palette, which looks awful, but works perfectly in-context. And I mean come on. The intro is both probably the funniest, and most relatable set up in Ragefest. I feel like what really prevents it from winning first place in an award is just that every category had a submission that people felt out did it. I'd also argue that its age didn't help, but that sure as hell didn't stop Ephraim225 from almost winning another Ragefest with the even earlier Emblem Warriors. I also suspect that it's my own fault for getting needlessly mad at the submission after struggling with it for way longer than I like. I need to demonstrate better self control. Maybe I'll write my anger down on a text document no one will see so it's out of my system, or take up marijuana... Or stop working as a god damn Line Cook. Out of all the submissions, this is the one I most wanted to speak up about during voting, but I didn't want to influence votes in any way. Aaaaaagh, I was so frustrated when I saw it won nothing, even against Lyn's Revenge, which is a great submission that's admittedly more even than TIPP, but I don't think it's better. I'll post more of my opinions later. This was the main thing I wanted to get off my chest though.

Alusq Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I was kinda hoping to be carried for the memes award ("game that generated the most memes"), but Titanwood was no match for the devil's cabbage. #blazeit It does illustrate my main problem as a creator, though: jack of all trades, master of none. TIPP got a "good but not great" out of everyone and didn't really wow anyone in any one category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Wolfram Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Before you read click the link! https://youtu.be/LdTzXJH2HxI?t=52This was a one great and fun ragefest! Don't you worry brave participant. Dracula I mean MarkyJoe will once again rise from the ashes to start a new ragefest, because everyday routine is boring as hell and the heck the mighty game developers will come to fight for the glory once more! The deadly trial will be here once more and the castles/battlefields/labyrinths/randommessedupmaps Will rise from scratch and will make a new Dawn! But for now rest well, the night is still young, let us rest for this evening and wait for the new morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 i know there was alot of submissions this time, but i find it kinda sad that several of them are just kinda "there" in terms of the impact they left with the audience. hell i can barely remember some of them.

FdRstar Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Wouh, I got second place on an award I deliberately tried to avoid, isn't that great ?! Anyway, it was fun. Thank Markyjoe and every submission creator for this ragefest.^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the trend, it just goes to show in the end, the audience is the real Cesar that decides our fate in the Colosseum that is Ragefest. Also means I shouldn't hold back with the real crazy shit I can come up with. Go big or go home or yolo as these young bucks would say. On another note, now that the contest is over, will post a video showcasing all the stuff Marc missed on my submission later.

RandomSwordmaster Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I feel like I would've had a good chance for the Innovator award if Emblem Warriors didn't happen. Well, I hope my next idea will work, and if it does, innovator award, here i come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47948201 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I thought Enderslicer's Escape was really neat and a possible contender for Strategist, though it's less strategy than puzzle which Marc generally likes less in a Ragefest and that probably didn't help, nor the fact that the game was a little on the empty side and didn't have much to make it super memorable...

Pwntagonist Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Whoa, I placed in something... SADIST??? wtf Also wanna note that I did get 4th place in Strategist, which was what my submission was originally going for. Oh well, I'm still pretty happy that I got close to placing in that category, it was one of the most competitive ones and I did pretty well IMO. Marc did not seem very enthused upon replaying my submission. I have to say that the Puzzle format is tricky to do right when it comes to Ragefest. Definitely not going for that next time around.

MarkyJoe1990 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) I personally do not consider it a placement if a submission got below 10 votes in something, but third place is still third place. But yeah, in hindsight, I don't like Money Man's Last Stand very much, and I think that is largely due to the following factors: - The turn limit is extremely strict - It's hard to tell what you did wrong in each run - There's a lot of filler turns, such as killing the pirate guarding your cell. - Since mistakes are so subtle, putting down save states is really risky unless you use several different slots. I also think a huge problem with the "Only One Strategy" submissions is that they have no room for player creativity or improvisation, and those are two major things that make Fire Emblem games so replayable.

47948201 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Personally I don't think replayability should be requisite for RFI-IV but in the future it might at least be a thing people might at least want to think of for what makes something fun.

MarkyJoe1990 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Since the Strategist Award is about making something that's fun and creative, I consider replayability valuable, but even if we're talking strictly our first playthrough, replayability is still important. Every time you fail in Money Man's Last Stand, you have to repeat the same sequence of actions, with no room for improvement or variation except for, like, the one small adjustment you needed to make this run not fail. That makes every retry tedious and demoralizing. Edited June 2, 2016 by MarkyJoe1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
