this is a heads up...
Contest. Game making. Un-Official announcement.Official will go down on January first...but Im trying to generate some Hype.
You will make a game. You dont know what you will make it with yet, but you will have some options. It will be 30min-2hours long. The theme will be wide open but there will be a twist. You will have a strict but generous amount of time. There will be a grand prize winner, a runner up, and an honorable mention. You will be encouraged to make something simple and fun over making some drawn out story driven dogpile. More details will come. If this works, expect it to happen again.
The judges mostly will be non-charas, but people knowledgeable in game design.
Prize Pool so far is:
A Brand New Bamboo Touch Tablet
Fifty Dollars Cash, which will probably turn into a 50$ Gift card
Ten Dollars itunes card.
Prize Pool is subject to increase. So far all prizes are donated by the same guy...but Im looking for some other people to sponsor. If youd like to donate, send me a PM. If you would like to Judge, then donate.

Oooo...

hype Hype HYPE HYPE!

Its a Bamboo Touch. Not a Pen and Touch. Fingerpainting....not pen. I may chip that money for second into a bigger grand prize so the Bamboo is the runner up. I dont want to have participants donate if I can help it feels.....courrupt. Donating to the Pool Buys you into a judge position, basically. You guys just worry about making games and winning free stuff at the expense of the loudmouth admin hosting the contest

I'm totally in.
-
Im glad to hear this
-
Count me in.
Ihaven't had a competitive moment in a few.
-
I may just donate cuz I'm not sure if I feel like competing.
-
I'm deciding to see what the rules are. If I like 'em and think I can pull something off, I'll contribute. Otherwise I'll toss something into the pot.

Its pretty much going to be "make a cross genre, gameplay-over-storyline project using one of a list of Game makers
(pretty much any maker that is not in private beta) and the game must be stand alone, meaning If I have to download a seperate RTP package to play it, Its bunk. Im mostly just hashing out technicalities.
-
So, any RPG Maker game would have to come with any graphic used in it. (Not too big of a deal if you don't use too much RTP)
-
I will have to try this out. Never completed a game ever so this could be motivation plus may be able to test my code for my upcoming game as well. I can't wait.
-
Hmmm, interesting.
-
Okay, I've got my entry cooking. I'm totally entering this.
-
Count me in!! :D
-
Eh, I have some ideas. I'll try my hand at this, though that's not a commitment.

Official thread is coming as soon as the hangover stops
