Updates

2/6/2004 @ 18:34 EST - by TomT64 - The script now sorts by who has the largest total score, rather than the reduction setup by the script, so that even if the reduction is the same, if the actual total is not, the higher score ends up on top.

1/29/2004 @ 22:55 EST - I decided to start it an hour earlier. The five words are: Dream. Space. Color. Chaos. Emotion.

1/29/2004 @ 8:28 EST - Graphics and/or sound are not required. Nothing is required.

Rules

Use any engine you want as long as the judges can get it for free legally. It's preferable if you can use ika, WinV2, sphere, or other WinXP runnable engines.

Games require a readme that details buttons and simple playing rules.

  • Original game concepts only.
  • No RPGs, platformers or shmups, unless they're extremely original.

    The Compo will begin January 30, 2004 at 12:01 AM EST and end February 2, 2004 at 11:59 PM EST

    Special Rules

  • I'll put up 5 words as the competition starts. The game should involve as many of them as feasible.

    IRC

    Join an Esper.net IRC server and channel #compo to discuss the compo.

    Judging

    The fields for judging will be:

  • Elegance - Whether sound, graphics and associated suit the game.
  • Foundation - Well-made code.
  • Novelty - Originality of the game.
  • Execution - Whether the theme has been done in a entertaining form.

    Submitting

    YOU MUST SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR FINAL GAME:
    Readme.txt, which includes controls for your game and what you ripped (if anything).
    Example:
    			MyGame v1.01

			Use "a" to attack, Space bar to throw a bomb, and the arrow keys to move around

			This game has the following rips (not including graphics pack files):
			ff7.chr
			hahn01.vsp

    Caveats:
  • Your file size must be under 15 MB. Email me the file with matching info if it is larger.
  • Do not include DLLs for ika. I will make these available via a separate download. If your engine requires DLLs, please do not include them but email me instead and I will provide them in a single download.
  • You can upload any number of times, and any number of demos. Each one will be there for download.
  • The file that will be judged will be the last one submitted unless you specify otherwise. The last one you submit will be the bottom one under your team name.
  • Overwriting is forbidden by the script. Turns out if you don't finish the upload, it won't appear, so you can keep trying with the same file name.
  • You can upload screenshots by selecting your team name and the short description of your screenshot under Game Name.
  • The time that will be listed is the time that the upload completed. Points will not be taken off if this is past the end of the compo, because the script doesn't allow you to upload after a certain time anyway!

    • All that being said, go here to submit your file.

    Teams

    Teams can be up to 4 people. It has been asked if you can have more than this. Yes you can, but remember that this may be more difficult to organize and if you have too many people the judges might take this into consideration with judging the results of such a team. Below is a list of teams that already joined
