Well, ladies and gentlemen, it seems the MSXdev'13 is now definitely closed and a winner has been set. And it is no other than Patxanga's Shouganai! Congrats MSX Kun, and everyone involved in the project! Here I c&p the contest results:

#1 · 82 Points / Shouganai - しょうがない (Paxanga)
#2 · 80 Points / Malaika - マライカ (Relevo Videogames)
#3 · 78 Points / SHMUP! (Imanok)
#4 · 54 Points / Gommy Medieval Defender (RW-DMZ-NF)
#5 · 16 Points / Stan, the Dreamer (The Pets Mode)
#6 · 14 Points / Slender: The Camping (Pentacour)

As now every contest thread is closed now (and soon they will be moved to "MSXdev Archives" boards), you can use this thread for your reactions about the results and to congratulate the winner!

Well, here they are my personal thoughts. First of all, I want to congratulate MSX Kun for Shouganai and for being the winner: it is an excelent game, and it mantains the increasing quality curve that Paxanga's games reflect. For me is more than a valid winner, although my bet was for Imanok SHMUP!: anyway, the quality of every submitted game it is out of the question, so congrats to every contestant as well!

Although my top three was quite clear from the beggining (well, I really wish Gommy should have gathered more points and be closer the top 3), there has been a game that really surprised me out, and also its final position has also shocked me. It's the case of "Slender: The Camping": I can't believe it has scored that low being that innovative, graphically appealing, featuring really fitting sfx, and with an outstanding atmosphere. I really want to encourage Pentacour to polish those couple of little things missing and make a physical version out of this game, because I really think it rocks and stands out of the others. It is not that I don't like Stan the Dreamer, and it's not that I don't see its engine potential to build solid adventures (I am *really* looking forward that, guys), but I think Slender deserved to have a higher rank.

About the contest, I am pretty happy we have doubled the last year entries, but it is still very far from being a "big" MSXdev: quality of the entries has been high, but I missed more games: not only from spanish developers, but also for international teams. We have tried to manage every aspect of the contest in english, but it seems that's not enough for international MSX developers, neither the MSXdev history or main prize. So I guess we should rethink again how we could attract more developers into the contest (without no extra costs or work, that's why we organize the contest at the forum boards now). Also, the contest has make lots of people to participate and enter the community again! I hope they continue joining here not only for givin' points to their favourites but also to keep on sharing knowledge and MSX fun here!

Long live MSXdev contests! Soon, we will start the discussion about next edition!

Well, thx everybody!
Now i'm confused and hurt myself... I agree with Jon about SHMUP! At the end I only wanted to make a funny game and it seems people kinda liked it. So I have to thank everybody for playing and will upload the new ROM with the "IT'S OVER!" text corrected. Now the contest is over I'll just overwrite old file, so there are no duplicates, ok?

And now time to work on more stuff. And I mean ALL of us! Thanks all contestants for making games.  

Edito: Ya esta el fichero cambiado. Mismo link de antes. En cuanto pueda deberia poner un enlace en mi pagina, bien hecho y tal.

Congratulations, MsxKun!, your game is really great!

I'm shocked that Slender and Stan: The Dreamer didn't get better scoring. 

I didn't vote for Malaika because it looked a lot like Bubble Bobble and I'm not a fan of it, but otherwise is a very good looking game. By the way a suggestion for the front box: adding eyebrows to Malaika eyes, otherwise it looks like a boy. 

Gommy was too charged visually, a little slow and repetitive for my taste.

SHMUP! looked way too empty visually for my taste and I think that the music can be better.

Congratulations Shouganai! As I said, it is a nice and original game. My guess about the top-three was correct, and I am happy to see Shouganai as the winner. No bad feelings Imanok and Relevo... love you too! (from a gaming point of view, I mean XD)

As for the rest of games, I already commented them in their respective forum threads, so nothing more to add except for Slender. Actually I feel that it deserves more points: it is original and scary. So I feel that it has been underrated. Just wanted to say that. I'd like to see this new version, Pentacour!

Congratulations to MSXKun (Paxanga)!! A great game and a great winner 
But congratulations to the others contestants too,
now there are six new little jewels of only 16KB for our MSXs!! 

Very smooth and playable indeed

Anyway I'm rather eccentric for selecting games, so obviously my opinion is purely personal. It was a very good idea the new vote system.

Maybe the next contest should try with 32K ROM limit

Thanks to all participants for their great games.
Congratulations to the winners!
