Yeah, I completely agree; that was my problem... I had too much things for the school to do, tests, homeworks and so on that I didn't have a time to show my real programming knowledge, like I showed in new beta of aliens attack... Honestly, like aprone said, I had also feeling that 2 months are a whole century and I wasn't working on the contest thing all the time. But once I've started to write a code and do everything connected to making a contest thing I was taking every millisecond to do it, even in the school during classes, during breaks and so on. I honestly wanted and desired that I'll create action game, but I didn't have, and, honestly, I'm not sad, playmania is just good as a new idea. I alrighty planned which new serious games to add (not for the kids *smiles*) and to make it famous and serious game collection; first I attended to make, and a thing with which I won a bgt contest...

Hi Philip. That's why I said 4-6, rather than 6 straight out. i do think however that the initial time was too short. While you, and other developers like Aprone obviously work fairly quickly, that is not true of everyone, especially first time entrants into the competition who may have to try a number of versions of their game, or people with larger commitments in other areas such as family or work. For instance, last year I submitted an entry myself to the windhammer gamebook competition. However this year as I'm finishing my phd thesis I have not begun writing one. Sinse however the competition runs from April to the end of september, there is a possibility that if (as I hope), I finish my thesis in august, I might be able to run off a gamebook for the competition in september once it is done, something I couldn't do if the submission period was shorter. I do believe some of the bugs we saw in the competition games, like the sound and confusion issues in spaceship and the centering issue in the glass pouring game in playmania would've been resolved if the developers had had a little more time to work, and after all if a developer is a speed freak they can always finish the game early, this is why I personally would rather too much time than too little, that's why I'd myself plump for 4-6 months, as indeed the graphical indi game developement competitions have. It is however your decision. Beware the grue! dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
