Any news to when this will be announced? School has finally calmed down a bit, so I've got time to actually complete Nel's Journey, and sumbit it.

The 3rd GMG Game Making Contest will be an all-engine contest held in January or February 2009. The time limit will be 2 months. I'm still deciding on a theme, and looking for sponsors.

Can you make it not have a theme? I find that contests are always more fun when you have more freedom in what you can make.
-
Whoa, all engine?
Even vb.net?
-Gandolf
-
It has to be for mac ;)
-
Aww. I'll make something in Blitzmax instead...
...maybe convert my Sc Mmo engine over...
-Gandolf
-
I will make something in .net and port it to mac using MONO
WOOT!
Mist
-
In silverlight or average vb.net coding?
Mono looks interesting, if you can get it working than I will probably try it out.
-Gandolf
P.S. I have lots of vb.net apps that could be converted over.
-
Quick question for ghost: would it be alright for me to make a game for a system other than a mac (GBA, dreamcast, ect.) if it is playable on a mac through an emulator?
-
Thats the problem with all engine contest, none of these can be be played stand-alone.
-
MONO is more frustrating then I originally thought...

Personally I think a theme is a good idea. Without direction nobody seems to complete anything.
-
yea i like themes, ihave to admit that i was against the arcade theme at first but it turned out fun
what theme though? how bout platformer
-
A *good* platformer game would be pretty hard to make in GM or SC... I know the contest is all engine but GM/ SC entries should be possible. If you really want to go with a theme make it less limiting... something like "any game but it must use a tile engine" or "any game but it must have physics" or something.
-
a tile engine game is a good idea but what kind of game could you make with that? its still limiting, you could probly adapt a tile engine for a platformer game. it would be interesting to see what people come up with

WOW Nel's Journey I was beginning to think it was completely abandoned with no chance of coming back. In fact I was beginning to think you deleted it WOW. I can't wait for you to finish it.
-
Yay a chance to revel the project I've been slightly working on and off on!
-
LOL
I will probally make something in silverlight or somehow make enough money to afford Flash CS4 without going bankrupt :P

-
actually platformers might not be that possible in sc or gm, i meant side-scroller
-
To clarify-- this will be an all-engine contest for MacOS X. Your game must be playable either as a stand-alone or in a web browser like Safari or Firefox, but it must work on OS X. Emulators will not be allowed-- the idea is to make games for MacOS X that are playable using commonly available resources on the Mac.

Oh well... I guess I could attempt to make a game in Scheme, or if that doesn't work just use SC.
-
what about a sim genre, sim reseraunt, sim lawn, sim gamemakeing where you start you own game company, theres alot of posibilliteis
-
sim lawn
LOL
How about a clone theme? Clone a game you like; its a theme but with more freedom.
-
What happed to that one game you were making, where you worked in the arcade?
-
I can't stay focused with making a game, its a curse. >:(
I have the source if anyone wants it.
-
yea ide like to take a look at it,
To clarify-- this will be an all-engine contest for MacOS X.
oh, i didnt see this before, theres no specific kind of engine? just any?
-
Any time now...

Wait... Am I right when I say that Titanium Forge qualifies for that position?
-Gandolf
-
Not Really a game.... ;)
-
I think he means TF can be used to make them??
-
I would really appreciate a date to work with.
-
That would be helpful for me as well.
-
Sorry, the 3rd GMG contest has been postponed for the time being due to the sheer amount of work I have ATM. I am still planning to hold the contest, but it may have to wait till the end of 2009.

I actually made a few dollars with the Roguesoft merchandise store, but it wasn't enough to cash out. :( Still, the thought that someone is wearing my logo on their t-shirt is reward enough! ;D
