Definitely worth noting. Especially for the grand prize.

Anyway, Anaglyph won't be entering, 'cause we're busy with Schism and all... but I thought you guys just ought to know about this. ;)

Mhm. I've been going through a number of designs, but I haven't decided yet whether to go for it. The issue is simply time frame. I can make decent stuff in one month, but traditionally those have been software, not games.

You play as a kid who's trying to reach the north pole. You go on a grand adventure involving snowball fights, sleding, snowboarding, snowfort building, penguin tag, polar bear capturing, toy making, raindeer riding, guiding santa's sliegh, delivering presents quietly and sneakily, minigame/loading screen of eating cookies and drinking milk.

an idea I made in like...3 seconds...

Oh nevermind. Stupid PDF hadn't loaded yet...


Not bad on the prizes side though. :P

No kidding. What small company wouldnt like a grand?

I'll probably be entering seperate from Anaglyph... but the time frame... BLEH... >_<

You could have something like a Holiday coloring program that you can print out. :P

I know, that time frame is awfully small. It might be best to just wait until the next one. The way this was phrased (requiring that you specify this game is for contest '01', etc.) implies there should be plenty more.

A coloring program isn't all that hard. One of the trickiest parts is making a paint bucket sort of tool. Doable, but the most obvious methods are rather slow.

Maybe it would be doable.

Personally, I'd rather use the extra time to do more work on Schism, and then unleash the demo in the lull that follows the conclusion of the contest.

Yeah, I get what you mean Alg. We probably wont enter due to wanting to finish The Insurgent after nearly two years. :)
