Thank you to everyone for participating in another great C3! Trophies will be handed out soon!

Berries

We had another berry wonderful C3, lots of berries were given out! I hope you save them for the upcoming (hack)jam event.

View the Summer 2024 Berry Leaderboard

Everyone who ranked in the top 15 gets the nice shiny and rare blue berry trophy to go with the rest of your C3 trophies:

Afterparty Clean Up

You may have noticed the results for the following categories were all very close, or that the trophies got awarded for only a few or 2 votes.

10. Quality over Quantity
11. Funnest Thread
12. Weirdest Thread
13. Best Thread Presentation

This happened since these categories did not have high voter participation or the vote spread was too far to give as definitive a winner. While we awarded the trophies this time, these categories will probably be re-evaluated for inclusion in future C3 events to avoid these big ties.

Thanks to everyone who played and voted for Christmas Hack. My first C3 trophy since 2015. It's nice to have support and interest in my hacks after all these years.

It's been fun and all, but I must time travel back to the present.

Anyways, congrats to all the winners, especially Erik.

Also:

Reading the BOWSIE readme really gave me bittersweet tears. I may have unintentionally led to the events that led to you coming back lol

I'm really impressed with how many people didn't feel encouraged to show something in this C3, but thank you very much to those who voted on my tilesets thread, it's my very first C3 trophy for a thread!

And of course, congratulations to the winners!

My gosh. 3+ badges acquired, thank you so much! What surprised me the most was getting the gold one for my album release. 13 years, bro. It really paid off. I have no words to describe the immense satisfaction I'm feeling right now. I can only thank you all, and thank everyone who helped making Miraflecmor project possible. And it still feels like it's not enough! Wishing I could do it personally, because, like, it's a lifechanger.

As for MKUCS remake thread badges, the soundtrack especifically got lots of votes, which I didn't expect to see. Maybe it's a signal - I really should invest in music in general - VGM, metal, etc. It's something I like to do, and people seem to like those songs as well so yeah lol

I love you all <3

Congrats deported

I had so much fun being on this C3, since after 5 years since 2019.
I finally showcase my brand new SMW Romhack project and I got a lot good positive reception!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get any trophy sadly, but most importantly. I finally showcased something on C3 after 5 years!!!!!
I am happy and proud of myself for finally making a comeback on SMW C3 5 years later in Summer 2024!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to the winners!!!!!!!!!
Especially, Blind Devil, Erik and FPI!!! So happy that you 3 are back on SMWC after so long keep going strong you three and good luck with your futures!!!!!!!!!

$#smw{^_^}$

I... I WON SOMETHING?? Wow... I didn't expect to get 8 Berries, since in my first C3 I only got 3. Anyway, thanks!
Congratulations to those who participated and to those who won, of course.
Although my topic wasn't the best, it was still fun.

I didn't expect to win anything, since I didn't have much time to comment in a lot of C3 threads. Thanks for the silver trophy for Best Feedback and for giving me a berry nice trophy again.

Congratulations for all yours threads folks!

Was fun participating in this C3 my first time.

See yours next time!

Thank you guys so much for all your votes!! It means a lot to see the reception that BOWSIE has gotten and the support you showed in the thread or in Discord. It was unexpected to see 🥺🥺
Congratulations to all the winners as well as to everyone who participated in this C3! A special shoutout to Blind Devil, yoshifanatic, FPI, LadiesMan and Chris for their threads I liked a lot, as well as to RPG Hacker for his feedback cause hot dang man 40 berries lol

List Soundtrack - List Hacks

Mega Man X3 OSTs

Pretty consistent performance for the AddmusicK thread! I'm on standby for having that version moderated, given that it upgrades asar to 1.91, and then away we go with the song groups!

See you next C3 for another AddmusicK/AddmusicKFF thread!

And see you next version, too!

They all did a great job but the one Who takes the Credit for me is FPI his news that he was working on tsrp3 surprised me

Oops...get the 3rd place FOR twice?
Thanks for all follwing my post and reply! the next time we're ready to make a huge collab hack project and going to make a see at the next Winter C3! See ya

Holy macaroni, can't believe I not only made 1st rank on the Berry leaderboard (and by a such a wide margin, too), but also Gold on Best Feedback! Guess procrastinating from work to look at as many C3 threads as possible was worth it.
I'm glad people appreciated my feedback. Thanks for all the votes and berries!

Also congrats to all the other winners, and thanks once again to everyone who participated! C3 is always a great time. I once again missed the voting period this time, but find all the winners here to be very agreeable.

Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!

Congratulations to ALL who won for this year's Summer C3! Now, I wonder what next C3 will be?

Either way, fingers crossed if I could get the chance in participating HackJam this month. Looks very promising!

Currently working on a new website. Don't expect any hopes soon. 『いけいけ団長、頑張れ頑張れ団長！』

Alright, I might not have won the actual music thread trophy (frankly I was already expecting bebn and LadiesMan to take the W for this one seeing the sheer amount of attention their threads were getting, and would you look at what happened lol; not that it wasn't deserved, mind you

), but I'll gladly take the quality over quantity one instead haha; thanks so much!!!!!

Kind of hate that I wasn't that active during this C3 outside of making my thread though; I got way too busy trying to finish everything in time to the point where I just kind of got burned out pretty quickly, especially with the sheer amount of effort the ports I made took, so I couldn't really take a look at everything else that was going on in a lot of detail this time, but oh well, at least I made my contribution to it to begin with, that's what matters in the end right lmao

Congratulations to all the winners! Lots of cool stuff to see on this C3.
It was nice seeing some old members make a return. Blind Devil, FPI and Erik all had great things to show!
Also, really glad Darolac's Platforming Experience Required got some trophies haha. Very well deserved for a great game release!

And well, i'm surprised i got a berry trophy myself haha, even if i only started posting after the main C3 posting period had ended. Thank you to everyone who gave me a berry =D
It's funny how i got 8 berries on both the last C3 and this one

My Youtube Channel

Congratulations to all the winners ...and to everyone who participated!

There was sure a lot of great stuff to see, including of course also Blind Devil's and Erik's return!

I also would like everyone for their feedback and support! $#ab{^^;;;}$
Honestly I wasn't really sure what to expect considering it's been a while I released something and it'll be a while before that happens again. $#ab{<_<}$
Either way I''ll continue working on my hack so that we might getting somewhere someday!
