SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC084 August 2024 - preparation phase
Posted: Sun Aug 25, 2024 04:23 CEST
It is the 25th August 2024, 04:15 UTC+2/CEST - this month's Songwriting Competition has official ended
STATISTICS:
How do we go from there?
Over the course of the next (hopefully) 24-48 hours (usually up to 6-12 hours maximum after the game has ended), I'll gather all links into one post and hot-link to that from the first post of the thread. Please, no more changes to your entries, but please do check your links that these entries are accessible and downloadable. We then perform with the final feedback and "public vote" system.
We have 9 official participants, however only 8 entries can be voted for. We are adapting the overhauled vote mechanic, as talked about in the following news blog:
Songwriting Competition - game mechanic changes: Voting Process (October 2022 Update)
(Info: I am aware that the Rule Book has not been properly updated yet. Time constraints, apologies for the inconvenience)
Summarized: .
Feedback from non-participants and/or collaborators is highly encouraged (voting not needed!). The same goes for entries after the deadline, or those that sadly do not count for the current running game (even if you've exceeded the deadline, why not post your entry regardless?). Musicians and Engineers are always after constructive criticism. This is what this forum is about.
Have some general feedback? Please provide that here:
Songwriting Competition - General Gossip Thread, or on Discord.
Please make sure your files are accessible, and please have an eye on this thread!
EDIT: 25-AUG-2024 4:20 - initial post
EDIT: 25-AUG-2024 8:25 - post updated with executive decision to go with a "Top 5" vote mechanic
STATISTICS:
- If I didn't miscount, we have 9 submissions this month (1 entry less than last month, and also 2 entries less than August 2023)
- We have 0 submission after the deadline (as of 25-AUG-2024 04:15 UTC+2/CEST)
- We have 0 submissions that has been disqualified (production released outside of the game's timeframe)
- We have 1 submissions that has been withdrawn (counts as participation, but can't be voted for)
- The "staff balancing vote" add-on rule does not apply (special game mechanics do apply)
- "Sole Winners Podium" rule (equal or less than eight participants results in a single winner) does not apply (3-position Winners Podium)
