Competition

Posted by Acid on July 26, 2008, 3:29 p.m.

A suggestion for this site I've been thinking of is that maybe we could have a page or a section in the forum dedicated to competitions. The winner will receive a special badge for that specific contest. We could have one every two weeks, just to keep the site going and bring back some of the fun from the old days. It could be set up a little like the ones they have at TIGSource but more regularly.

But for now I have recently been really bored and wanted to make a game for an event but since there haven't been any that I'm aware of recently, I decided to start my own. There will be no prize because I do not have the sufficient funds to make that possible but this is just for fun anyway! I'll ask a staff member if they could give the winner a badge for it, though it most likely won't happen so don't get you're hopes up.

The Rules:

- Must be made in either Game Maker or Flash.

- Only one entry per contestant, though you can resend and replace entries.

- No previous work is allowed.

The Guidelines:

- The maximum and minimum amount of rooms available is three.

- You must incorporate the words giraffe, fan, and sleeping into either graphics, gameplay, or speech.

I hope that everyone participates and we get some really fun and creative games. Good luck to anyone who participates.

What kind of shit rule is that?

Same goes for the giraffe fan sleeping stuff.

Every two weeks? Lol, you have too much faith on 64digits ability to meet that sort of timelines.

It works like this here: You make a competitions, and unless it is announced in the news it is bound to fail; then when the deadline is near, you have to push it two weeks to let the lazy guys here finish their submissions; then set a deadline for the results, and announce the results two weeks later. Then begin another competition a random day.

That effectively makes it one competition every two months or something.

I couldn't have described the process better myself :D

Marbs was that an insult or an approval? O_o

Neither, I was agreeing with Josea about the process the official competitions here go through.

The minimum rooms doesn't seem to make sense

If I want 1 room, I'd just have to make the intro and ending take up their own rooms

If I wanted 2 rooms, I'd just have to make the intro xor the ending take up their own rooms
