10 hours till the contest begins (for EST).
Good luck everyone. I'm excited to see how this contest unfolds. And I really hope this one gets judged, too.
edit: It's within 24 hours from the start time. What shall the themes be, WANO?
He said themes will be announced in the final hour before the contest starts.

The last minute theme announcement has always been something iv'e never quit been fond with.

I am currently getting feedback on the themes / restrictions from several experienced BYOND programmers. As of yet, they are not finalized, but as the OP states, I will have them posted one hour before the contest's start (Central US -- 12AM). Will most likely be sooner.
For judging, my goal is to have all entries reviewed within a week, and I don't see why this can't be achieved--but once again, this is my first contest, so if complications do arise, I hope you guys will take that into consideration and show a little mercy if there's a slight delay. ;) The three judges are myself, SuperAntx, and DarkCampaigner, and we won't be going adding any more than three to avoid schedule complications in the week of judging (the more judges, the higher the chance that someone doesn't finish their reviews and/or does them at a low standard). | |
Restrictions... Suddenly sounding like a Oasis-esque contest hehe.
| |
The timezone we will be using is Central US. http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.co.uk/time-zone/usa/ central-time/
The front page has been updated with the rules and regulations, animate() restriction (if you can call it one??), and of course the themes. I hope you guys enjoy these / have fun developing a game with them! Good luck to all participating! Remember, any q's can be paged to me or posted in this topic. I will always respond within 24 hours, if not much sooner. | |
Great themes!
| |
Good luck everybody! Go nuts and experiment with the new features!

Unfortunately, I'm gone this weekend to a friend's wedding and will have a late start. Fortunately, the contest is two weeks long :)
By the way, Vrocaan, Branks, and I will be a team in the contest, if that means anything. | |
Public Service Announcement, folks:
Save your work often. I just got hit by a power outage, and lost about 50% of what I had done in paint. Won't be getting those five hours back... | |
happens to me more often than not.
