Congratulations to all the finalists, and everyone who completed the second round in Search For A Star and Sumo Digital Rising Star!

We have some excellent entries this year, and will be highlighting the games that have been produced over the next couple of weeks.

Each second round game project was marked independently by up to 10 of our 19 judges, scored on criteria across both game quality and code quality to give a total result. The five highest scorers qualified for the finals, taking place at the Microsoft Campus in Reading on the 20th April.
