Can we use alpha if the total number of blended colors at runtime is still 5 or less?
|
Me, Oondivinezin, and Magnum2k are joining as a team.
| |
Whaddya mean you'll be disqualified? Won't they just not get the points for that theme?
| |
Well, you have to use at least one theme, so if you only use one and it's invalid... then you're out! I guess if you use multiple themes and at least one remains valid, you wouldn't be disqualified?
I think I'm just going to dither instead of risking it. I ran out of colors, anyways :P | |
I have a question, for the Small dimension theme are we allowed in game HUD windows?
| |
I want to go for all 3 themes, but absolutely no violence is hard, at least for me it is, it basically sticks me with puzzle/sports/racing/boring games. I don't even know if I own a game with no violence (maybe from an indie bundle though). I'll probably go greyscale, since that's the easiest way to use only 5 colors, small window would fit well in a greyscale scheme too, I don't know about the no violence, I'll have to think hard for this...
| |
I have a good idea for a game that covers all three themes.
| |
My entry of course would be just for fun.

Does punching trees count as violence?
| |
Yes.
| |
Do not mind what he says, it is up to solely the judges on what constitutes violence, racing and non-combat sports are fine as long as features in the games aren't directly violent. (Like a tackle option in soccer)
Some common sports that I would classify as violent include American Football, Rugby, Wrestling, Martial Arts, Fencing. | |

I'll join. No guarantees on a final entry, but I'll try.

Is "capturing" as an alternative to killing considered violence?

It's still very ambiguous where the violence-line is drawn.
Is implied violence legal? Like if characters "disappeared" in the game's story? Or a character that is arrested and it is mentioned that he resisted, implying a physical takedown from the police? What about non-hunting sports? Javelin? Markmanship? What about cooking, with different knives? Tools? Is Pokemon violent? There's technically no weapons or killing or bleeding or physical injury. | |

Cooking would be fine I assume, knives are tools before weapons (cooking knives at least). And pokemon is violent, it's rating says mild cartoon violence. | |
