[darksoft]

I just wanted to thank all of you here at dcemu for voting for my game. In the end the judges picked their own winners, but the votes definitely helped make Hexaxis XXI a standout from the 140+ entries.

Once again, thank you all for your support!

I didn't know about the contest either but I'm guessing all entries were 'homebrew' :p

[doverkiller]

very well done!
you had my vote! :)

This game is for PC as well, which probably what was entered into this competition if its from Intel.


Well done tho! this game is awesome, even if ive never really understood the rules lol. :eek:

I'll add my congratulations to the list, some very much deserved recognition for an awesome game.

The quality of the game is made so much more impressive by the level of polish and refinement (graphical and otherwise) that you've put into it darksoft.

[Buddy4point0]

did you write the originial hexaxis as well or just port it?

[bah]

He wrote and ported it, the Intel comp was for the PC version.

[brasssmunky]

yes! the only complete homebrew game i keep playing.

[darksoft]

thanks guys, yeah I wrote the PC version first, then ported it (rewrote from ground up) to the PSP. The intel contest was basically for the PC version but I put in a link to the PSP videos as well. Maybe I got extra points for making it multiplatform!

Yeah I totally didn't imagine winning $3,000 for it. Its a nice amount of cash, but I'm still unemployed so I'm teetering being homeless lol. I'm 100% homegrown programmer so its hard to get a job in that field. I suppose starbucks is my next option! I am working on something kind of secret but I should be able to announce it come November or so. Just everyone cross their fingers for me, as this is a lifechanging event (hopefully).

Great job, darksoft.
btw, your website is down because of so many people using it

[Cap'n 1time]

A very much deserved win. Its difficult to come up with new and unique game concepts (that are actually enjoyable), but you managed to do it! We are very proud of you and we hope you manage to find a great job!

[Shrygue]

So you won $3,000 (£1,470) for Hexaxis? Well congratualtions, you totally deserved it. As for finding a jod, good luck on your search.

I didn't know about the contest either but I'm guessing all entries were 'homebrew' :p

hexaxis was a commercial dos game.

the contest could have very well been for other things than homebrew.

n to answer someone else's question, there's no way a porter could have won $3000, especially without paying a sum to the creator, so yes, darksoft is the writer ;)

[darksoft]

Hexaxis was a DOS game? Do you have a link? I'm curious, before I made the game I googled for the name and only came up with like chemical stuff.
