Wish's BHA4 Judging - Unworldly Manifestations -=DJ Medoroa's Entry=- Rubric: -20 points per pattern - 10 points to creativity and pattern aesthetics, 10 points to fun factor and pattern design. -30 points towards general aesthetics, sound, and polish. (For the record, *average* aesthetics is essentially the defaults per engine, and is at around a 6/10 per category) -(Usual contest-specific bonuses will be omitted due to contest theme being OCs lol) At the end, the total points will be divided by the total possible points, and then multiplied by to get your final score. Nonspell 1: 10/20 Trivial to dodge, looks ok. 7/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 3/10 - Fun/Design First Dream "Gap of Fairyland": 13/20 Shockingly hard, it's...fine. 7/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 6/10 - Fun/Design Nonspell 2: 10/20 Same problems and strengths as non 1 7/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 3/10 - Fun/Design Sweet Dream "Sorcerer's Paradise": 13/20 Very neat looking, but it's pretty boring to dodge the small, dense stuff. 8/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 5/10 - Fun/Design Nonspell 3: 10/20 Slightly less trivial to dodge if you know bubble hitboxes, kinda boring honestly 6/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 4/10 - Fun/Design Spicy Dream "Ognevushka": 11/20 Isn't this basically just one of Salamimaru's spells? It's fairly fun 5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 6/10 - Fun/Design Nonspell 4: 12/20 Better to dodge, ok looking 6/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 6/10 - Fun/Design Salty Dream "Otohime's Somnliloquy": 11/20 Isn't this just an AJS Junko spell? 5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 6/10 - Fun/Design Nonspell 5: 9/20 What in the world happened to the kunai on this non...? Anyway it's really obnoxiously hard, but it looks fascinating 5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 4/10 - Fun/Design Savory Dream "Seven League Boots": 14/20 Indicator looks cool, pattern looks fine, dodges fine 7/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 7/10 - Fun/Design Nonspell 6: 10/20 Different from the other nons, but kinda boring and less visually interesting 5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 5/10 - Fun/Design Bitter Dream "The Transient Match Salesgirl": 15.5/20 Good dodging, fun idea 7.5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 8/10 - Fun/Design Nonspell 7: 8/20 Similar deal to non 5 but the star underneath doesn't really add much of anything 4/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 4/10 - Fun/Design Otherworldly Bubble Magic ~Five Li in a Dream~: 14/20 VERY long survival but it's got a good amount of variation 7/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 7/10 - Fun/Design "Fantasy Crossing": 11/20 It's fine, it looks nice too, pretty boring to dodge though 6/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 5/10 - Fun/Design AESTHETIC: 23/30 Looks: This is really high quality for a GameMaker engine, really solid. You can totally improve it too 9/10 Sound: Sound is average 6/10 Polish: Honestly what continues to astound me is the quality of this engine, but there are a few quirks. Overall though there's extra dialogue and other little touches 8/10 SUM OF PATTERNS: 171.5/300 AESTHETIC: 23/30 TOTAL: 217.5/330 * 25 = 16.47/25 To be 100% transparent with you, this was one of the last scripts I judged and I *massively* ran out of steam as a result. Sorry, there's a lot of patterns and my critiques ended up being *far* less detailed. Overall the script is pretty solid throughout with its own highs and lows, though I think there's massive room for improvement. I'm still incredibly fascinated by your engine and want to see it improve too!
