Brunni et moi, on n'avait que de vagues idées couchées sur le papier jusqu'à samedi 18 heures :]
(Bon, OK, il avait déjà les outils pour convertir les graphismes et quelqu'un pour lui fournir des graphismes qui rayaient moins les yeux)

The deliberating:
We all discussed about each production, their weaknesses, their strengths, the polished aspect and if the constraints were respected.
Each member of the jury then gave his three best games; this awarded some points for the final score. 3 points for the firsts, 2 points for the second, 1 point for the third. This was made to clearly give a strict ranking; there wasn't any tie between the productions. We discussed again to refine the ranking in order to confirm it and establish final results.
I can understand that some people were disappointed and did not see their work valorized. Maybe these people actually provided more work.
However, judging all this work was difficult this year, even more than before because you all provided work in quality and quantity (10 projects!). In this kind of ranking, there are a lot of criterias to care about (finition, respecting the consigns, playability, gaming worthiness, technical prowesses, innovation of the gaming concepts, visuals, scenarios, sound and music…)
Like in movie festivals, the final production can't be judged on its own; it's the result from many concepts. Every technique must be evaluated (best programmer, best playability, best GFX, best gaming concept, etc), but the convention should last 3 days at least…
Anyway, we're sorry if we disappointed you and we still care about any proposal to improve the future speed codings.
