All you need to do to see why the Polycount Community voted on 2085 by (the fantastically named) Team Donkeyballs as their 2nd most favourite entry for the Escape: A Polycount Challenge is watch the video they made. There is so much incredible story elements happening in this; You can not only see that there is an escape happening, but you get a fantastic sense as to why it is happening.

A note to Team Donkeyballs: Get this video hosted elsewhere so its not region locked! (Even this inspired Canadian can't view the video any more!)
For their hard effort, Vadim, Matt, Dylan, Madison, and Andrew will be receiving licenses to Handplane, Quixel's nDo & dDo, and Marmoset Toolbag. As we announced during the challenge they'll be also receiving some various signed Valve artwork and various items from the Valve store.
Congratulations you guys!

You can still turn this into a game with the help of some coders, you know that right? :P
I thought you guys would take the 1st price! Now this is is interesting!
"Direct hit" to the to concept "Escape".
This is very massive awesome!!!
I can't wait to see the 1'st place.
Congratulations!
I also thought you'd be first place...
I'm guessing it'll be the car scene then?
For me, this is the1st one
Now to me personally these things are never good enough. I'm sorry we(I) couldn't do better.
But the fact that you enjoyed it is what makes it worth the effort.
Thank you so much.
