Originally posted by Smoking_mirror at http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?379966-BMGC-Winners-otto001-and-Blenderrendersky So another Blender Game making contest draws to a close. Congratulations to everyone who took part, it was a close finish, and for a while it looked like everyone was going to win. The gold medal, and grand prizes go to Otto001 and Blenderrendersky. Nice job on the winning game, it was my personal favorite, even with a massive bug where I couldn't save any people at all, I still really enjoyed it. Blenderrendersky has uploaded an updated version of Fireman with some improvements suggested by players, so go and give it a try if you haven't already. Silver goes to Thatimster, for his Discrete fishing, which I thought had the very best Easter egg of the competition. the second time he's come second AFAIK. Congratulations! Third place is split between Adriansnetlis with his thrilling Golden Reel Fishing, and twisterGE, whose R...

The Blender Game Making Challenge (or BGMC for short) is a week-long competition where people of the community make games relevant to contest's theme. It's secondary purpose is to encourage people to improve, either by trying to make something you've never tried making before, working with time-restraints or trying to aim for a specific style. The Theme/Rules: Your goal is to make a game about water. This is perhaps one of the most interesting themes I've seen so far, since there's such a broad spectrum of things you can do with it. It doesn't have to be set on or in water, it could be about being in a desert and trying to find water, or it could be about water vapor (clouds and rain). There are lots of water sports, fishing games, animal sims etc... that could be made...

It's no wonder the voting was so close. 1st place: Crazybombninja by Smoking Congratulations! An expertly made game, with a great level generation system and game play to match. 2nd place: BOX, The Sneakering by Lushmoss Great concept of sneaking past cats, loved the Alan Partridge face on the box and the stylised cats. 3rd place: Tesseract by Shogun Lloyd Brilliant and beautiful use of light and sound, loved the colours, with some suspenseful game play. Well done to everyone who took part. I had a great time playing through the games. Sooo many good entries!

The votes are in for the Blender game making contest 15 and I'd like to announce the winners: 1st place was Planet Smasher by Battery. We've got some prizes around here somewhere for you, congratulations! I thought the game was very well realized for a 7 day game jam with lots of options and smooth gameplay. 2nd place goes to Mechatronic by Thatimster. The game was great, with really nice graphics and fitting special effects. 3rd place goes to Robo Lad In the Lab by Wallmaster. A really good result since Wallmaster came to the competition late and only had 2 nights to work on the game. Congratulations also to RockyMadio's Kaily - the Canceller which only missed 3rd place by 1 vote. It was a gorgeous game and I'll certainly be following RockyMadio's other projects from here on. If anyone else would like to see yo...
