One Room, One Week Competition 3 - ANNOUNCEMENT

Venus · Wed 11/01/2006 19:43:00

I'm also on the might-enter-list.

EDIT:
Anyone interested in forming a pair with me for this comp? Pm me, if you are...

Hey, another OROW thingy! Good stuff.
Well, depending on when it starts and if I can sneak in some spare time for it, you can tentatively put me on the entrants list too.

Entering my "Elevator" game into the first OROW competition gave me some good feedback and ideas in how to proceed with my current game-in-production, so it's a great learning experience to partake.

Best of luck to all the entrants.

Mugs · Sat 14/01/2006 01:14:58

I'll try to make something up...
This would be the first time I ever enter in a "game creation" competition.

He-Man · Sat 14/01/2006 21:39:15

I'm looking foward to see the next comp.
I would also like to enter if I can find the time. I'm a bit busy the next couple of days/weeks. I really enjoyed playing along in the first round...

mwahahaha · Sun 15/01/2006 12:25:06

So, when can we expect this to actually be? For me, the sooner the better, my school holidays end soon.

scotch · Sun 15/01/2006 12:36:54

22nd.

esper · Sun 15/01/2006 12:48:12

Are we allowed to plan ahead at all? And if so, is there anything we should know about? I mean, for me, coming up with the idea is the hard part. I made my ESPER game in a week and a half, but the idea I'd been writing for a couple years.

Pet Terry · Sun 15/01/2006 13:55:48

I think the point is to make the whole game in a week, including the planning (that's part of game developing). And as scotch said

Also, since I have announced this quite far in advance I am going to have to impose some restrictions on the content of the game to be released when it starts... nothing too restrictive, just enough that I can be sure you didn't start early

scotch · Sun 15/01/2006 14:21:02

Wouldn't hurt to start thinking about it, whatever constraints I specify won't be very limiting. Don't start making games early, though, it just wouldn't be fair to those people who are into the competition part of OROW.

Gord10 · Sun 15/01/2006 15:02:11

I think my suggestion was useful for this problem.

Chicky · Sun 15/01/2006 15:02:33

I'm in.

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Sun 15/01/2006 16:14:56

I had a hell of a good time making Dance Til' You Drop and would 'possibly' be interested in doing a game this time if I had a like-minded (and dedicated) individual working with me. Doing all the work in Dance Til' You Drop in 4 days was just too exhausting. My advice is not to enter it for any purpose other than to make a fun game since awards tend to leave some people with a sour taste in their mouths. Just bear in mind it's a bit of fun and a chance to show what you're capable of in a tight time constraint.

ScottDoom · Sun 15/01/2006 16:49:16

ProgZmax, I would be interested in working with you if you need a partner (and if we can have partners). My art skills are decent, and I am good at scripting (although I've only scripted half a game, I know I can easily learn code).

vict0r · Sun 15/01/2006 16:53:53

Why do we have to wait until the 22nd? It seems that most of the people here is ready now

Ishmael · Sun 15/01/2006 17:03:02

I'm sort of not ready. So let's just wait untill the 22nd.

magintz · Mon 16/01/2006 12:23:11

The idea of the competition is to get people to make games, so i'm sure if you start thinking about it now there won't be any problems, think of an idea now, and start planning it properly during the week to give everyone a fair chance in the competition.

Babar · Mon 16/01/2006 12:56:23

If nobody minds, can the competition be postponed till a week later, on the 29th? Please? I want to enter this one, but I've got papers going on from the 21st to the 28th.

Actually that would be good for me as well as I have a bunch of assignments in for 26th. If we do delay I'll enter - 90% sure.
