There are a lot of competitions running right now, both on GB and TDC, but let's have another one!

Theme: Make a MASCOT. Make a mascot and have a game centered around him/her/it... Not much else to say, but you can use an old mascot that you have lying around... So yeah, make games that reek of awesomeness! And post them here on GameBuilder!!! Oh yeah, submit the source as well.

Rewards are ...uh... I would donate GB points if there was a function to do that... Maybe 250 GB points for first, 175 for second and 75 for third. If less than three people enter, 500 gamebuilder points for first! I've gotta earn a few more GB points, so the deadline's gonna be at least August. Also, I hope this gets more hits than the spring compo...

Here's how it'll be judged:

Presentation-25 points
Gameplay- 50 points
Originality- 25 points
Overall impression-25 points
Lastability-25 points

Bonuses:

Each are worth 20 points:
--Returning from the Spring Compo: All objects are actives, backdrops, or strings.
--Get your game under 30 events and get 20 points!
--In honor of the release of OINC, you get 20 extra points just for adding an online mode! :Heartgasp:

Only one bonus each folks!

Brownie points for not being a platformer...

Oh yeah, and by submitting your mascot game, you allow anyone to use the mascot in their games as long as they cite you in their credits.

Actually i was thinking of doing something like this just after the spring compo, so I lied about stealing the theme. I had made a fighting engine and I decided to incorporate Klik Mascots like SSB incorporated Nintendo Mascots. The gameplay's different though. I also thought it would be a good way to get more activity on the site.

I was just joking with you, but you can't pull the seniority card because I've had that page up since about last November. xD

A lot of the wording is similar. O_o

Good luck!
