I think I'll enter. The theme will be hard for me though, the horror theme came pretty easily
Making a sunny spring game will be hard for me. I can probably get the first bonus though! I prefer not to use extra extensions anyway. But yeah, I think I'll enter!
Oh great, now my compo will be mown over and forgotten. >_>
If making a spring game is hard for you then don't wiiman, you can make it an Easter game or a Saint Patricks Day game.
hoy sweet!
bonus points means, you may get the max point if you choose the secound one? kinda strange for me :C
yes, if you do the second one, you automatically get ten points
I like this competition! I will enter, I think.
i dont see the point, then why would anyone choose the other bonuses? :C
Can we use music from the mmf2 disc :?
yes wiiman, you can use the music from the cd,
Wait... what about the Halloween competition? Surely that hasn't 'finished' yet?
I promise the scores for this will be done within 1 to 2 weeks after the submission period ends. I don't know why the Halloween results aren't in yet.
Oo, fun! I'll most likely enter.
Yeah but what about the previous competition? What's happening with that? I hate opening a new book with out finishing an old one.
I have a question. for the ten-point bonus, does that mean that the gameplay is confined to one frame? (As in you can also have a title frame, etc.) Or does it mean "If you have two frames in your game, you don't get the bonus?"
You get more for the bonuses than you do for the game itself!
RedEchina, to get the bonus, there can be only one frame in your .mfa
It is up to you to figure out how to incorporate a title screen, game etc... all in the frame. All the bonus points are all or nothing, (you can not win partial credit). And you game will be graded down in the presentation category if you cut directly to the game, with no title screen or instructions.
Also, 3klickphilip, stop talking about the Halloween compo, I'm not involved with that and I don't know why the results are not in.
Also, loading data from external files is allowed and is encouraged.
So we could have a one frame .mfa and have all of the other frames play by sub apps?
because sub apps are basically the same as .mfa's. No you can't use them to earn credit
Do I get the second bonus yet?
I doubt I'll win, but those ten bonus points will definately help.
yes, you would qualify
Yaaay
How do we submit these? I wanna know for when my entry's done.
"All games must be submitted by March 23rd."
I'll try to get a way to submit them next month, it's still a bit early though.
Is there a maximum file size limit? How 'big' on average should the games be? :?
no file size limit, however, I might not be in a good mood when grading a 100MB game (unless the awesomeness of the game justifies it).
There goes my idea for ten thousand giant rotating leprechauns across 60 frames.
Anyone wanna see a video of my game?
Cool video, I've barely started yet
I've finished one engine, I might be entering.
yay
Is this site a click product only website? :?
Will you be having competitions for other game creation software in the future?
This website is for all games, no matter what they are made with.
However, this competition is click only. Reason being, i need to see people's source files.
When can we submit these? My small little arcade game is finished, and I'd hate to forget to submit it.
Also, what kind of T-shirt do second and third prize win?
Clickteam T-shirts! I need to talk to ketchup master about making a submission page
I will make one this weekend.
heh my game is ridiculously ambitious considering I'm going for the all in one frame bonus.
My all in one frame is better than your all in one frame!
it wont be when i actually start making mine.
Yes it will 8)
Holy crud, I'm gonna win by default!
Im making mine in one frame, too. Dont count on victory, im almost done! hehehe }:) Its a shooter where you play as the Easter Bunny to save Spring or whatever...
Hey if we qualify for more than one bonus, which one do we get? I always only use actives, strings, backdrops and quick backdrops, but if I lose points, I'll throw in a string parser or something.
Don't count on me not counting on victory!
Oh, I won't have time to finish my game.
I dare you to finish it.
I started my game today!
