JUDGINGJudging will take a little less time than expected. It will begin tomorrow (late tonight in my time depending on how many submissions I get), and the first round will go for two days, giving you some time to play the games (stay on top of this please). Then on Thursday, the second round will begin, where the top five proceed for one last chance at first place.
For the first round, votes MUST be submitted via PM, with your top three favorite games. Try to take several things into account, including gameplay, innovation, and how well the game fits the theme. For the second round, everyone only gets one vote.
The results will be announced on Friday.
I'm in, sorry it's a little late… Also I'll be using GM Physics
Using GM8.1 with Fmod.
Music made with Flstudio.Oh, if we're declaring our platform, Flash CS5.5, Music with Sony Acid. Might publish it for android, too.
Declaring what I'm working with so I don't feel left out.
Game Maker 7 with PXTone and the supersound DLL.GM 7 OR 8 (Undecided)
fmod dllFlstudioGIMPSWAGpossibly nothing
otherwise, GM7 or GM8.1paint.netphotoshopand whatever music program I findI think my only outside content is GM's runner and caster.dll for the pc version and just GM's runner for the HTML5
I have no idea what DLLs or extensions I'm going to use in advance. So let's assume I will be using all DLLs and extensions that have ever existed.
Apart from that, GM7. Or GM something anywaywhys this unpinned?
WHYS THIS UNPINNED?That keeps happening, and I'm not sure anyone's doing it. It's a bug, according to Cyrus.
And for anyone using DLLs, I suppose you don't have to announce that, because it's obvious where they came from, but if you're using (somewhat) obscure things like an engine, that's something you should let me know beforehand, because the code isn't yours.Engines are allowed, since it's understandable that you can't be good at everything. But if your game turns out that much better, the people who did all their own work should probably know why.
