Hi Steve, is it possible to get in contact with someone from Epic?
We worked almost 3 years on our mod, and so far we're not even mentioned once. I was wondering if it's because of lack of quality, because the version we submitted was basically unplayable, or something else.

Congrats to the Finalists!
I'm sure I just barely got squeezed out, but have no complaints with an HM.
Well done all!

[G.Lecter]

Wooo, I'm in! Congrats to all finalists and honourable mentions!

[Demruth]

Awesome. Thanks guys.

[RCTFORME]

Anybody know how many more finalist categories there are left to announce? Hopefully the final winners list will be posted sometime shortly after the last category.

[Mouser]

There are 3 more categories in which they still have to announce the finalists.

[Nighteyes]

Thanks all, and congratulations to all the other winners!

[Daniel KaMi]

Unfortunately we're unable to provide specific feedback to entrants for legal reasons.

That was an E-mail from Jim Brown to myself about feedback on a map for a previous phase. They don't give feedback..

Look at the quality of the finalists and HM's there too. If a reasonably playable Planetstorm didnt get a look in, I wouldn't rate your chances. Nobody on our team could even get your project to run (the updater version)

[frvge]

The updater-version was made noob-friendly... auto-correcting check-sums, and overall a bunch of checks if the installed version etc was all ok. Then again, the 'game' itself was merely a pre-alpha version, so definately lacked many things. But I'll look into your comments, so thanks for sharing.

I'm still curious what kind of lawyer would prohibit: "We couldn't install it, so bad luck" xD.
