How The Demo Will Be Rated
- Presentation (graphics, animation, ui, & sound design) will make up 35% of your score.
- Enhancements (parallax scrolling, lightmap, particles, action areas, shader effects, use of lua script ...) will make up 25% of your score.
- Writing (Story & Dialog) will make up 25% of your score. (ideally your story should be a fun interactive/informative tutorial on Visionaire Studio itself).
- Structure (project structure of files, folders, naming conventions etc) will make up the final 15% of your score.
Each category will be rated by each judge & the total of each category will be calculated into an overall score which will determine the overall winner(s). The Judges will be listed at a later date.
Judge[1] = {5, 3, 3, 4}; judge[2] = {3, 2, 4, 1}
(5 * 35 / 100) + (3 * 25 / 100) + (3 * 25 / 100) + (4 * 15 / 100) = 3.85
(3 * 35 / 100) + (2 * 25 / 100) + (4 * 25 / 100) + (1 * 15 / 100) = 2.7
