Tcok Echoes Competition

Posted by Extravisual on June 14, 2006, 12:23 p.m.

Right, some of you may or may not have heard of Game Fortress, He made the game The Curse of Kamaha, and is probably most popular for his work on Pokemon Twilight. He is hosting a competition on his forums (the forums I'm a mod on) and first place prize includes an editable of Pokemon Twilight. There are 3 top places, and 4 contestants so far. We need more contestants so I figured I'd post this on 64d…

This contest will be themed around my game, "The Curse of Kaumaha". (For those who have not played it, a download can be found here.

Submissions will remain open until July 18.

The Contest:

Members will be competing to create the best TCOK fan game. There are no hard rules except that it must be set on Kaumaha. The game can be a simple minigame or a full fledged platformer. Use your imagination, and enjoy!

The Rules:

1.) Participants must be registered at the GFF

2.)Participants may form teams no larger than two members

3.) Members may use either their own resources, or the sprites provided in

the basic pack to be posted later. Members may not rip graphics from any

commercial games. Pre made game engines are permitted if the game

maker has permission from the author and credit is given.

4.) Only one entry per member/team

5.) Games must maintain an E rating (no blood or suggestive content)

6.) All entries must be sent to a member of the GFF staff by July 18

7.) Entrants grant GF the right to use entries however the staff feels fit by

entering

(GF may add to this list at any time for any reason without notification)

The Criteria:

The GF staff will judge the entries (including moderators and tax collectors unless they have entered themselves. Admins will not be allowed to compete) based on these items-

*Originality (yes, even in a fan/clone game, we would like to see some new ideas implemented)

*Continuity with the theme (How well do you capture the essence of the cursed pacific island, Kaumaha)

*Clarity/Stability (how well does the game run? are there glitches?)

*Fun

(GF may add to this criteria at any time)

I *would* sign up…but that would mean I'd have to drastically improve TOPDOWN or start and finish a new game entirely before the eighteenth…which I'll be out of town for anyways. I'm going to be gone for all of July. So, unfortunately, it looks like I won't be entering.
