Dryden absolutely dominated, the visuals, music, gameplay and lore were all up to par with a fully released game

[valeryfoyniak]

Lixian: has 1.3 million subs
Dryden: has 2k subs
Lixian: wins the community voting
Judges: **surprised pikachu face**

I don’t see how Dryden didn’t win this.
- Better Music
- Better Visual
- Better implementation of the themes
- Better gameplay loop
- Better Lore

Reading the comments, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt unsatisfied by the judges decisions.

[caleb]

Actually insane how talented Dryden is. Props to all the devs but the amount of content he managed to get done is crazy.

[abrokeprogrammer]

Airidas losing in first part is criminal, he was the most one sticking with the subject

[etmason]

every other dev was losing as soon as Dryden made that character model bro, they literally never stood a frickin chance against Drydens masterpiece of a game.

[tinytigertamer]

Don’t get me wrong, Lixian’s game was cool, but Dryden was absolutely robbed of this win. The man literally composed his own music for this game. He made such an original and unique game and I am dying to see him expand upon it.
I think it was a mistake including the community in the vote. Most average community members are not experienced with the time and effort that goes into creating these games, or what makes a good game. Plus, Lixian has a much larger audience than Dryden, so of course he is going to win the community vote. It turned into a popularity contest for people not games and that’s honestly so disappointing.

[LighthoofDryden]

PHEW, this was definitely the most intense few weeks I’ve ever done!

Thanks for having me on, what an honor to compete alongside these devs 😄

Dryden was the only one who made the theme feel so real in his game, made the most polished and actually playworthy game.

[Pirouyy]

Let's be honnest, Lixian's game was good, but you would play it after downloading it for free on halloween night with pals, whereas Dryden's game, I would actually buy it.

[dinoeebastian]

nah, Dryden's game was just better, Lixian's great, but Dryden's just fit best with everything

[Stalkie]

Insane Dryden did not win, the game was so polished and thought out, all the mechanics together made perfect sense, the implementation of the curveballs he was thrown fit it like they were originally planned, the artstyle was absolutely gorgeous and polished, and he composed multiple pieces of music.

[beep]

It's a pity that people preferred a first-person shooter with horror elements, instead of a roguelike platformer with honed gameplay, unique style and music. Dammit, he even made unique bosses and perfectly implemented all the themes that were offered to him. Dryden bro you deserve more than this measly $10, 000

[uBreeze]

Awgh, I’m so annoyed Disinherited didn’t win! The amount of polish and mechanical consistency was insane. It looked so much fun.

[sugarsores]

It is genuinely offensive that Dryden didn't win...
Stuck to theme, showed immense resolve in adapting to the modifiers, completely original art and music, boss fights!?!?
If it wasn't for the +2 from a community vote of 1.2 million, it'd be obvious.
Also crazy that that was a +2 in the first place.

[mitchellbaker]

I like how the major themes introduced to the games were part of the final result.
Computer- computer problems.
Chaos- let the internet decide.
Pirates- winner was robbed.

[kryptobash]

WTFFF, I feel so bad for dryden. He was obviously robbed. Both games were good, but Dryden seems more complete, more lore, and had a better plot and fighting system. Lixian game was good for a one time play thru, but Dryden's had way more replayability and seemed overall more fun with the different builds and ways you could defeat enemies, not to mention the lore for each boss. I am shocked Dryden lost.

[AddingAUsername]

Next time keep the names of the developers hidden in the community poll to make it less of a popularity contest. Just show the games and let people decide based on that.
