Is OROW still happening?

Can't seem to find any recent iterations on the boards

There were plans to start a new OROW, but then the Monster illustration workshop started. I'm sure there will be an OROW after the workshop has ended

Better make only one event at the time so people have enough time for it!

Fair enough

Thanks for the response

I'd totally be down for an OROW

Ponch · Mon 20/05/2013 22:07:49

+1 Vote for OROW. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and start mine now. Let me know when the rest of you guys are ready.

LimpingFish · Mon 20/05/2013 23:11:56

I could go for one...right...about...now!

The last OROW held was in 2011, as far as I can see, and ran from the 1st to the 8th of August.

I didn't enter.

I might be interested in participating

I think if there's an OROW, we shouldn't have a MAGS running at the same time. It's the reason I didn't join the last OROW, I was "trying" to finish a MAGS game.

Then perhaps the next following MAGS could be the: finish a game you've currently worked on. Giving everyone the opportunity to finish the OROW game they may not have had time to complete, or any other game they have sitting on their hard drive.

Ryan, what if OROW started the same day a new MAGS starts? Those who don't finish in time for OROW would continue for MAGS.

OneDollar · Tue 21/05/2013 20:07:12

If that were the case you'd either have to build your OROW to fit the MAGS theme, or bend the game to fit the theme if you overshot the deadline. I'm interested in an OROW, but I'm also pretty burned out from just having finished my last game, so we'll see.

Ryan Timothy B · Wed 22/05/2013 01:42:26

I likely won't be entering. I'm busy working on the AGS Kart thing and it's taking up quite a bit of my time. It was mostly just a suggestion - because it's the very reason I didn't join the last OROW, and I was upset by it.

Radiant · Wed 22/05/2013 01:51:29

I would like to join, but if it's before the middle of July I won't have time for it.

Ponch · Wed 22/05/2013 03:06:30

Last time around, I turned my OROW game into a MAGS game by expanding it a bit and took advantage of a loophole to enter the both. I lost both contests, but I feel like making both deadlines was a victory in itself.

For what it's worth, I'm all for a a "finish your MAGS" theme as a lead up to OROW later this year. I have about half a dozen unfinished MAGS games cluttering my hard drive. It would be nice to get one of them out the door this year.

frenzykitty · Wed 22/05/2013 06:42:11

I am SO keen :-)

Andail · Wed 22/05/2013 09:19:24

We can fire one up after the illustration workshop has ended. I don't know how much time people have (for me this time of year is the busiest) but it's worth a shot.

Bulbapuck · Wed 22/05/2013 11:19:19

So it's settled that it begins right after the workshop? Or is this a thread where we can discuss the dates? I want to try and join. And if it's early June it's gonna be rough. Late June, all of July and August work for me (taking time off to work at a project of mine)

I'll try to join in whenever it is, but still.

Stupot · Thu 23/05/2013 13:17:39

I might consider joining in. But I'm actually on a good flow with my current project at the moment. We'll see.

ThreeOhFour · Thu 23/05/2013 14:36:11

If I had time when it was run, I'd love to join in.

Wyz · Thu 23/05/2013 16:44:37

July (not the first week)/August would work for me.

AJA · Thu 23/05/2013 19:05:58

Did someone say OROW!??!?

I'd like to join but I'm not really sure whether my job contract forbids me to do so. July/August might be okay for me.
