Hot Damn! we got Robot Day in this year by the skin of Our synthetic membranes!
So without further ado
Art:
Winner: Robo-butcher
By PitiGameDev
"After losing multiple times due to those rogue robots, I think the scrap pile is starting to make sense. A nicely rendered piece that works good as a promo for the game!" -Syrupmasterz
"The rendering and set up is pretty good ngl" -DyingSun
"I enjoy the rustic 3d look this one has, along with it's doom-inspired posing.
It pairs for an awesome-looking piece of work."
-ProffessorDunce -
Honorable mentions:
Game:
Winner Cross Strike
"Very well crafted and presented game, one that i see has potential to be a top tier arcade side scrolling shooter similar to its influence Mega Man. I want to see more." TheExtremeH
"Clearly takes influence from Megaman, and does good by this with a mostly linear gameplay experience with slight backtracking elements, that give the user a fun gameplay experience. Not bad at all." - ProffessorDunce
"A fun jump and shooter that was a blast to play! Lots of care went into the enemy and level design and the final boss was satisfying to beat, even after getting all the upgrades." - Syrupmasterz
"Well presented, crafted well, I see the potential." -TheExtremeH
Movie:
Winner The Transforming Tank-Bot
By Coco199X
"Another day, another crotch joke. I enjoyed this little short, and the 3d animation is pretty good too! They're packin' a lot more down there than what meets the eye." - ProffessorDunce
Honorable Mentions:
"A cool project that was, unfortunately, a couple of days late for Robot Day. The action and the heart and soul of the project is all there though, so it just needs more in-betweens to smooth everything out, and we'd all love to see a remastered version someday!" - Syrupmasterz
Audio:
Winner
The theme of the Battlebots by Manvineo
"It might not be as metal as the 56k, but it's just as bumpin. The classic jungle drums paired with sick synths make this super nice on the ears." - ProffessorDunce
"Other songs had robotic synths or robotic elements, but with the robot effect vocals, lyrics and instrumental, BattleBots was Robot Day through and through." -SyrupMasterz
Honorable mention:
"My personal favorite. It reminds me of old metal remixes I'd hear on internet videos so often years ago. The modem screeches make such an interesting use of the theme, and fit perfectly with the already pleasantly abrasive guitar." - ProffessorDunce
Comedy Audio:
Winner
By Fersto, LuckyDee, SummerOlives, and VoicesByCorey
"Corey commits his first robot homicide" - TheDyingSun
"Even after listening to it multiple times, I still smile and chuckle as B0T and the Creator get fed up with R0. Would love to see a toon animated to this someday!" -SyrupMasterz
"The dialogue these two metal-made-meatheads prattle on about is an enjoyable back and forth. The voicework is crisp and high quality.
Inclusion of a that's-what-she-said joke scores bonus points". - ProffessorDunce
Honorable Mentions:
Nightmarish Bionic Giant Mechanical Spiders by Durinde
"Narration about spider-shaped amalgamations of flesh and cybernetics in an ad while pop music plays got some big laughs out of me. Well played. :P " - Syrupmasterz
Thanks again to everyone that joined, all of you were kicking the judges asses this year and making those choices even harder. Its always great to see what all of you come up with!
And of course, goes without saying, but we enjoyed all of the entries, not just the ones that won or were honorable mentions.
My favorites list got a whole lot bigger after all of the judging, and I'm looking forward to seeing what all gets followed up on, since a few different things had cliffhangers. :) -SyrupMasterz
This year Robotday almost didn't happen, so I wanted to thank @syrupmasterz and @tom for stepping up as PrizeMasters, as well as judging and for @thedyingsun, theextreamh, and proffessordunce, for all stepping up to judge and organize Robot day this year, it means a lot!
Ill be awarding 1 year subs, and getting addys in the DM for stickers and stuff.
Thanks!
Oh and I plan to have the next Robot day on our regularly scheduled day. The 26th August
See ya Next year!
