Irony can be so ironic

Time will tell whether my Restaurant Game project will be a success from a technical standpoint, but it appears the concept itself has some critics. I entered GameCareerGuide.com's Restaurant Game Design Challenge, and lost. Not even an honorable mention! Geez -- what's a guy gotta do?!

(Thanks to Ben Sawyer for alerting me to this competition).

Sorry to hear that, Jeff! I had a lot of fun playing it.

In all fairness, though, you guys did create it as an AI testbed rather than for the design of the game itself ...

true PT, it's really just a data collection device. just poking a little fun at the contest.

Besides, don't you think entering an existing game into a contest that's about designing a game in one week is unfair?
If I had been running the contest, you wouldn't have lost, but you would have been disqualified. :)
