[antenna tree]

Yes, the submissions are fine... if we have a problem with one we will contact you about it.

[Ehren]

Hey Ehren, I had it linked to your blog post about langman, but I can change it to a direct link to the page with the player.

Yes, please do. Thanks!

[antenna tree]

Alright, all link reports etc that I received today have been updated and will go live within the next day or so.

Hello,

what are 3 most important things to win a Rising Star? And what could exclude us?

[Ehren]

aNTeNNa trEE: I've been holding off posting the Unity 3 version of my game due to the contest. When can we safely update our entries without disqualifying ourselves?

What time will the winners be announced? (GMT)

[jackshiels]

The conference meeting starts at 10pm GMT AFAIK... that means the winners should be out by midnight or sometime early tomorrow. Last time it took about 5 hours though.

Does that mean they're still deciding?

I updated my game last night (upgrade to 3.0, more readable font, minor fixes/enhancements) because I figured the winners had already been decided. Can someone let me know if that's not the case?

[jackshiels]

It is likely that they decided earlier in the month.

The winners of this year's Unity Awards have been announced, with five key prizes given out to titles developed using the platform in the past twelve months.


AirAttack HD on the iPad won the main Grand Prix award.
The Grand Prix award was handed to AirAttack HD, created by Art in Games, while Best Gameplay was won by Nonverbal's Colorbind.

Best Visual Design went to Uncanny Games for The Uncanny Fish Hunt, while Best Mobile Game was won by Rimelands: Hammer of Thor from Dicework Games.

The Best Non-Game award was handed to ILP's LoveMyHome.

Meanwhile three 'up-and-coming' gongs were handed out in the Rising Stars category - created to honour small or independent developers that have attracted significant attention with their work - to Uncanny Games, Exit Strategy Entertainment and Gregor Falk.

The Unity Awards were presented during this year's Unite Conference, taking place in Montreal, Canada.

I bet there aren't any, at least officially. A few things changed during the nomination period (nomination deadline, age restriction, etc). I think there even was a change in personnel during that time which resulted in the fact that nobody at UT was able to stop the nomination process which then went on for, I think, a week (without being counted, of course). And I guess the announcement that there will be honored runner-ups is now a thing of yesterday's past as well. At least it looks that way.

And of course, my dear Unity folks, I do NOT want to complain. I only say that a lot of people that were nominated could have thankfully used the promotional effect of an official announcement of being runner-up in a certain category quite well.

[antenna tree]

Runner ups will be announced on the site. But most of them are games that also won other categories so don't expect too many surprises.

[colargol]

Thank you a lot for the Grand Prix.
We are really happy from it and it means a lot to us when we are awarded for our work by professionals.
We also love to thanks to Unity team for such a great engine and to friendly community for support.
And at the end we are really sorry we wasn't able to make it to Montreal .
