Except for Hurricane X Not one Real 3D environemnt Game with joint animated characters - Go HurricaneX you deserve to WIN against the rest of those you know what!

Hmmm... I guess I didn't get the memo about games not being fun unless they have 3D "joint animated characters".

Guess XBLA must suck then:

Alien Hominid HD
Assault Heroes
Geometry Wars
Catan
Worms
Pac-Man CE
Boom Boom Rocket

Yep, all of them would be much more fun in 3D...

Yeah I'm being a bit harsh - HurricaneX is the best but good luck to everyone else - you did a good job!

Really excited that our HurricaneX made it!

We wish we could go there to hear the final result and celebrate with you all.

But  the remaining one week is just too short for us to apply for visa.

So...wish you guys have a great time there!

Congrats to all who made the top 20.  With the amount of time and effort spent you should enjoy the props.

As to seeing the marks games got, I think it's important to remember that there were several categories, so just because your game might have excelled at one, it might have gotten hurt in another category, so it would be hard to compare between the games.  That said if someone at MS wanted to kill some time and email back the final tally to the authors that would be cool.

a big luck with the to 20 finals to all

my game has animated characters and it is in 3d

look like that more games is comming to the xbla

...By the way, did any of the finalist teams get email notification from microsoft at this time?

I'm not a finalist (certainly not on DBP website), but I just got an email from Dave Mitchell... If I wasn't bummed enough about not making the cut (I was just finishing the therapy :D ), this email rubs it in nicely! Ah don't ya just love joined up PR (!)...

Congratulations on your selection as Dream-Build-Play Finalists as listed publicly on http://dreambuildplay.com!  You worked hard on your games and it really showed through in impressing not only the judges but also the entire community.  I realize these next few days are going to be some of the more difficult for all of you as anticipation on the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd prize placements mounts.  We are planning to demonstrate a few of the games as part of the keynote on Monday morning.  As such, we’d like to know who will be attending so that we can give you a “local” shout out vs. one on our webcast.  I would appreciate it if all of you could let me know directly here if you are planning on attending.

Thanks,

Well I've not received any email like that.  Hope they haven't completely inverted the mailing list and none of the finalists got it but everyone else who entered has.

Cheers,

I'm not a finalist and received the same mail. I replied back to Dave Mitchell and he quickly responded that it was a snafu.

Epsicode:

I've received that mail, so you should e-mail Dave about that

I don't have his email address.  He normally checks the forums though so if you're reading this Dave I should be going along to Gamefest!

Cheers,
