Judging Clarifications

Q. Will each judge be awarding Bonus Points ?

   A. No.  The Bonus Point categories are only awarded by Underware Design.    These are mostly optional,  expect for the 'performance' category.  Which is where we'll be rating how the game performs across two very different machines.



Q. For the Bonus Section / Performance category -  I'm wondering what machines will Underware Design be evaluating the performance on ? 

    A.  This category is all about promoting performance awareness.    As developers,  it's wise to try and make your games as  accessible to the public as possible.   To do this, means letting the player 'fine tune' your game to suit their system.  Allowing players with systems bellow your recommended minimum requirements still experience playing your game.  All be it, in a reduced capacity. 

     Therefore in the performance/scalability category, we'll testing your game on two very different systems.  On each system we'll be awarding games a score out of  5.    5 being excellent performance, 0 being unplayable.    So if your game performs excellent on both systems, you'll get a total bonus of 10 in this category.   

     The two systems represent the vast cross section of the machines your games may well have to run on.  Ranging from very low to a Mid->Hi end machines.
