Unity Releases Award Winners

Unity has released the winners of this years Unite contest. The winners definitely deserved recognition but some of the winners didn't really place where they should have. The list of the winners is as follows;

• Community Choice - Endless Space
• Best Student Project - SmartVCS
• Technical Achievement - Marmoset Skyshop
• Best 3D Artistic Experience - Guns of Icarus Online
• Best 2D Artistic Experience - Year Walk
• Best Gameplay - The Room
• Best VizSim Project - teamLabBody
• Best Non-game Project - Become Iron Man
• Golden Cube - Endless Space

All these guys did a really impressive job with their work but some of them aren't the best. For example Endless space has beautiful graphics and a complex structure but it just isn't a very fun game. This could be due to my personal hate for sci-fi fantasy games though so there is bias here.

The same goes with Guns of Icarus, they have beautiful 3d graphics for an indie game but they just aren't the best. I think that Endless Space should have taken the place fore best 3D artistic experience. Their art is much better. Especially when it comes to the explosion animations/graphics.

Other than those two I believe everyone is where they belong. This contest is hosted by Unity every year and any indie developer is allowed to enter this contest. Hopefully we will see one of YottiBit's games on this list some year.
