Post us some games! Coooome onnnn!!!!!

[Fortet]

But without a time limit, games would not be completed :/

three weeks to a month might be more reasonable, but it's not a bad idea. Three weeks would bring us right into christmas.

[Fortet]

They'd be like little Christmas presents :3

Ive found from experience that the lack of a prize is often what leads to contestfail.

Ill personally purchase a fifty dollar gift mastercard or something if we could get like...an actual contest of full games with a definitive winner, and runner up and some other entries. Just saying...I dont have bags of money to throw around....but if it got some games made...details would have to be discussed.
Somebody else would have to manage the contest though. I would rather throw some money at something...Im not even blowing smoke here...make some games...Ill give the winner some money or a gift certificate or something

[Fortet]

I wouldn't mind managing it if need be.  I'll have lots of free time this quarter.  Unless a staff member would rather manage it, of course.

[Ben]

let me give this some thought and hear ideas...see how much interest and effort is generated by the prospect of money.lol

[Ben]

Yeah no screw it, I could manage the contest as well.Im gonna do this....let me brainstorm a bit and Ill make a proper thread



its fifty bucks canadian mind you...

My games progress on Valve Time.

[drenrin2120]

Canadian dollars are worth more than american dollars. xD

[drenrin2120]

Still, I remember when the American dollar was worth a good 15 cents more than the canadian. But i digress...

if you need any help on your quest Gem, just let me know. I'll gladly lend a hand where I can.

If the deadline was more generous than 2 weeks-- like a month, at least-- I'd try.
But I'd probably do it like a puzzle oriented thing, because battle systems. Gah.

[Ben]

the echange rate is usually in flux. Im suprised  to here were on par, for the most part.

I've been working on a project for forever.
If you want a demo Zuhane I will upload one later tonight.
I just have other things on my life plate.

As some people have said already. The problem is not getting the idea for a game, the problem is making everything needed for said game. I've had countless ideas and systems made for games that never got made. Hell I even tried to start backwards with the sprites first and programming afterwards but ended up with useless resources instead...

It takes time, we work slowly one step at a time. Most of the time we lose interest or life gets in the way (damn that life!!!) so in the end only the most dedicated people manage to pull through. Would be nice to actually release something once.

I know how you feel. I have some brilliant idea, then when it boils down to it, it's just sitting
and staring at a white screen and adding lines of code and re-testing until it works. Still, the results
are phenomenal when it finally works!

I think I hate over-ambitious games more than anything. You ask if someone has a cool project, and they
just regurgitate Oblivion, Fable and WoW mixed together where there's "loads to do". That's crap. Anyone could
go ahead and say that. It's the originality and concept, atmosphere, characters and fun gameplay that attrac my attention.
I only brag about the stupidly ridiculous amount of customisation in my games because I've actually successfully coded
it. It's not just a concept!
