    That's nice and you're accepted.

    Now I should somehow make judges do their work :-P

    I'll give you constructive criticism. And don't deny me because this is my true opinion and you can't make me say I like it.

     

    In my opinion, I don't think this took too much effort to make, especially the header and the screenshot. The boxshot? meeh, jpeg makes everything look bad. And the fact that Catelite's a moderator doesn't mean it's the best one instantly. The header should use the original TPT font for the title, and a title should always be in the center. The screenshot? Really, any could have worked.

     

    I don't want you to change anything, but as an audience member I am giving feedback of the images selected.

     First off, never give "constructive criticism" unless it is asked for explicitly or it is implied that you are somehow a mentor. Neither of those conditions were met. Secondly, good for you, you've discovered that you are allowed to post your opinion. Unfortunately, you come off sounding a little hostile, stubborn, and, frankly, unintelligent with the "you can't make me say I like it." Of course we can't, but you should go into these debates (yes, it is a debate. Every time an opinion is expressed, it is an invitation for a debate, that is something you cannot deny and still be truthful) with a little more open mind.
    Next, we come to your actual opinion. First, it doesn't matter if you "don't think this took too much effort to make," seeing as A.) it might have, you didn't make it, and B.) difficulty in making doesn't imply quality of work done. Secondly, I don't see what you are talking about with "meeh, jpeg makes everything look bad." At this level of compression, there is no quality loss and again you show your lack of knowledge about the subject. Third, we used a fair judging method for these images, for example, I didn't know who made any of them, and that boxart won. Don't imply you know what went on with the judging process for which you were not a part of. Next off, basic aesthetics tell that the first area most people look at on an image is the top left, meaning that your "Title should always be in center" comment is both wrong, and builds an argument against your "criticism." That last statement is telling us what we already know, which is why we voted for the best one.
    "I don't want you to change anything..." Then why are you telling us these things? That is obviously the reason you posted this.
    ;tldr Read my full post and don't look for summaries everywhere.

    I won't be so verbose as previous speaker, just tell you facts.

    • The contest was made to find good art for Desura page. That's not "spend as much effort as you can" contest.
    • All images are in PNG now (we contacted authors)
    • Winners were selected by fair judging, as Triclops200 said, and obviously Catelite wasn't a judge.
    • Original TPT font is too tiny and pixelized for a big title + title can be anywhere, just take a look at other game's boxes.
    • Yes, any could have worked, but that one is striking and colorful.

     Yes, yes, we all do. I don't have the aid of a spellcheck in my browser in this textbox, so with that much text, a few errors are to be expected.

    those corrections are wrong. *Discovered *Unfortunately *Stubborn
    Aside from that and on-topic, I think what has been produced here is fine for what this forum is capable of. Of course, not all the features of the game have been demonstrated, but it would look chaotic and probably too dense if it did.
