Kweepa · Thu 14/04/2005 21:11:36

Yup, working hard!
Sound effects are hard to find!
Now where's audacity...?

DontTreadOnMe · Thu 14/04/2005 21:20:17

Mines in (since yesterday because i was expecting anew computor today... cant wait for a gig an a bit ram... i need that to live!)

No sound though (was trying to add footsteps when the player moved but gave up, maybe a later release) And certainly no music.

Well hope u can all get your games in on time, good luck, its a great competition.

Barbarian · Thu 14/04/2005 21:34:31

I'm still working hard on my project too... Using every minute I can to get this done on time. It's gonna be really "rough" in spots, but overall I think it's going to turn out to be a pretty cool little adventure... It might even be the beginning of some bigger project I can work on in the future.

Best of luck to all other contestants.

Chicky · Thu 14/04/2005 23:53:30

Phew! got mine in just in time!

Thank goodness for that, good luck to everyone. Cant wait to play the results!

*edit* Damn! i've just found a MASSIVE bug! gah! Ohwell, too late now.

Kweepa · Thu 14/04/2005 23:57:04

Yup, me too - hopefully it's not too bug-riddled!

Good luck all!

[EDIT] Don't forget to turn off debug mode!
[EDIT] I'm sure no-one will mind if you fix it. Unless you can't be bothered...

Okay, time's up.

There were 10 entries submitted in time.

Games will be available to the public, and voting will begin, as soon and I iron out a minor technical difficulty. Watch this space.

What do you mean "Time's Up"??!!!
Before you postedÃ,Â "Yeah, if you haven't started yet, you can doso now. You've got until midnight GMT on Friday the 15th (1 minute after 23:59 on the Thursday, in case you're not very clever"

And according to my calculations as of this post right now (and using the following website: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/Ã,Â , and the "Meeting Planner there" http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.htmlÃ,Â , I'm in Hong-Kong)Ã,Â I was comparing ), I still thought I still had almost another day left to work on this... Did I caculate the time wrong ?!!

Please, can someone confirm? Did I screw up on this whole "GMT on Friday Midnight" calculation thing? Or did I still have a little time to submit my game?

*Grrrrrr!*Ã,Â I worked really hard on this project! I'd hate not to be able to submit it now because of some misunderstanding of the time-caculation, especially if I'm right and it's not even past the set time-limit yet?!Ã,Â Can someone confirm ASAP? Thanks!

** I guess I misunderstood something or screwed up the time-zone calculation thingy or perhaps accidentially entered in the wrong times zones or something? ** :'( No way I can still submit my entry for the contest? Oh well, if not, I guess I'll release it myself... Try and let me know, thanks.

Ghormak · Fri 15/04/2005 04:26:53

As you yourself quoted, "1 minute after 23:59 on the Thursday".

Thursday has come and gone.

Hmmm, okay I totally misunderstood or miscalculated something then! Darn!!!
Oh well, thanks anyways...

So, AGA, no way to give me just a few mores hours on this to let me finish this up for the contest?

Me bad! Me swoorry! Me silly make mistake on stupid time-zome thingy!

AGA · Fri 15/04/2005 04:34:22

Hmm, ok, since you obviously made a genuine mistake. But hurry!

edmundito · Fri 15/04/2005 04:35:25

I know that HK is +13 from I live (long story), and I live -6 GMT.

Therefore, 13 - 6 = +7 from GMT, that means that the game was due for you on Friday, April 15 at 7:00 AM. And check this out, because I am right: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?month=4&day=15&year=2005&p1=102&p2=136&p3=-1&p4=-1

I'm sure AGA can make an exception just for you. After all, it's just the first contest we hold, and the number of entries was pretty good! Just promise to stop working on the game.

Edit: he is.

Thank You! Thank you!Ã,Â Yes, I misread or mis-entered something in those "Time Zones", I really thought I had like about another half-a-day or more left to work on thisÃ,Â :PÃ,Â

Okay, I'm gonna work really hard to wrap-up my little project within about 2 hours of this post... Thank you AGA (and everyone else) for your kind understanding and patience in this matter!Ã,Â

*Update: *Whew* Okay, had to really "rush" things at the end there.. Hopfully I didn't overlook any big "bugs", and the game is a bit "rough" in parts, but, yes, I got it finished and submitted the link to AGA via a Private Message. Hope people will enjoy it when they play it.

Thanks again for giving me that little bit of extra time I needed.
Mucho appreciated!

AGA · Fri 15/04/2005 13:14:11

Okay, Barbarian's entry is in. Time is definitely up now

Kweepa · Fri 15/04/2005 14:16:30

What exactly is this "minor technical difficulty"?
Eleven people just spent the last week slaving over hot computers, only to hit the anticlimax of not actually releasing a game immediately.
Some kind of timeframe would be nice!
Cheers!
And thanks for organising!

AGA · Fri 15/04/2005 14:35:19

I was planning on releasing the games and opening voting at the same time. However, because Chris Jones has gone temporarily AWOL I can't get some information I need from him.

I still don't know how long it will be until voting, but until then get the games here.

Chicky · Fri 15/04/2005 15:03:38

I really am pretty damn annoyed with myself for entering my game with such an obvious bug. But i guess rules are rules. I'm downloading the games now. Can't wait to play 'em.

Problem · Fri 15/04/2005 15:44:36

I can only play two of the games. EVERY other game crashes right at the beginning or after the intro - fatal exception. This is strange, I never had these problems before.

Al_Ninio · Fri 15/04/2005 16:01:52

They all work fine for me...

Sound or music problem?
Do you hear any sound during the intros that work?

DontTreadOnMe · Fri 15/04/2005 17:42:57

I can play the all except TLD, which says there is a problem loading the plugin

They all seem really good, im loving them.
