Competition Time 2: The Designing of a Handheld - Results!​

Sponsored by ​

Hey, sorry I didn't post this yesterday I had company and forgot about all about this!

Our voting system was that the staff voted for 3 entries. If you came 1st (lol...sorry I'm childish) you got 3 points, 2nd you got 2 and 3rd you got 1 point.

Mars_x - Winner with 22 points and Mars_x wins the K1GBA prize!

Spoiler: Winning entry

Honourable mentions for mezut360 with 9 points and Kiaku with 8 points. Veho was the only other member left with 3 points...though technically he should have been disqualified because his entry was not really a handheld...bloody chuff. Click their names to see their entries, they don't win anything at all.

Congratulations! Very well deserved, looks like you've put a lot of time and effort into creating that console - I want to buy one now.

 

[nryn99]

I want that if it's real.

The presentation of the domino, although not essential to win, I thought was top drawer. Very well done.

Costello and the K1 team are now stealing the idea and will be working on it.

@ben_j suspicions were right!

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Awesome submissions, guys. And congrats to Mars_x for taking the whole damn thing!

 

[Mythrix]

Congratulations! Yeah I agree, the specs sheets for the Domino look very professional. mezut's video for the HEX was very cool too!

I kinda wish I had gone with my original plan of either coming up with a crazy unique idea or none at all instead of posting the boring entry that I did. Oh well.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Also, if your submission was through PM and you would like others to see your submission, feel free to post it.

 

[Veho]

Congratulations Mars_x! That was my favourite entry

Now make it. I want one.

 

[Satangel]

That's very impressive. Wow. Congratz to everyone involved, and thanks a bunch Hadrian for organizing this competition!

 

[Sterling]

Congrats guys. I had entered myself, but when I couldn't find my ruler and the realization that my MS Paint skills sucked, and that all the other entries blew mine out of the water, I decided a quiet retreat was the best course of action. Again, congrats guys, I really enjoyed the entries and I wish I could have gave the competition a better go. Maybe next time.

 

[Fluto]

Congrats Mars_x
I guess I came second

 

[mthrnite]

Nice work .TakaM!

 

[Hadrian]

Nice work .TakaM!

I wish all of our faves came back.

 

[BORTZ]

What an awesome contest. Congrats Mars_x!

 

[Mars_x]

Yay! Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. I had a lot of fun making this.

And also thanks to K1GBA for the prize, but as I said on the original thread, I dont need/want the prize!

Now what to do with the prize? I have a couple of suggestions:
1.- Keep it for a future contest
2.- Give it to the second place
3.- Make some sort of giveaway via social sites (yay publicity!)
4.- If the staff is ok with it, just give it to Hadrian's daugther, since she so much wants it

I'd like to say, there is a revised version of the handheld, thanks to Veho, it solves a lot of things
and works better (tho with some tech changes). The image is here:

Finally:

Costello and the K1 team are now stealing the idea and will be working on it.

I know this might be a joke, but if its not, I would gladly hand over the files I used, (PSDs, AIs, Fonts, Images, etc).
And even work for free closely with the team to make it happen, I have many more ideas for the OS, it would be fun!

Congratulations to everyone who participated, there were a lot of creative / fun designs.

 

[pwsincd]

i would vote give it to second place as they worked hard , rydians daughter can give her dad the look and probably get hat she wants

 

[Hadrian]

Well I've just got my daughter a GBA Mirco with a flashcart so she won't have need for this now.

I think we should give it to the second place entry if everyone else agrees.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

This entry is awesome, I wish it was real. Though, I have to question why there would be both 4-button and 2-button controllers, and both analog and non-analog ones.
But, if this was real and had 3G I could use it as a phone, as well as a proper gaming console, it would be the best of two worlds.

I got an idea. Make a kickstarter for an actual production run. The detailed information you've already provided will be enough for the page, and I would definitely back it.

 

[Costello]

yeah, we should actually do a kickstarter for this Jdbye nice idea
though we need someone with a lot of time on their hands to take care of it.. I will see if I can find someone

also I'm all for giving the prize to runner-up. I think he wants it very much so
