The OROW competition is a very simple competition were you make a game that is one room big in just one week. This competition has in the past prooven what the members of this community are capable of, and it will be interesting to see what comes of this.
(Some of this post is copy-pasted from another thread.)

Rules:

Entries must have only one playable room/location
Entries must be adventure games
Entries may use content from any source, including pre-made.
Entries may have cut scenes, menus or limited controlled sequences outside the main room.
Entries will be submitted anonymously, more on that below.
Anonymous submission
An important aspect in this competition is the anonymity. This means that you cannot share any information about your entry. Nor can your game contain your name. This is because the game should be voted on by it's own merits.

You submit the game by sending me a link via PM. I will then upload it to another site. (Probably ShutUpload)

The winner will be decided by public vote once the competition ends. There will be 5 categories: graphics, music/sound, scripting, writing/concept, puzzles. Each category will be scored out of 5. Voters will be expected to have played, and to vote on, at least half of all games entered. However, of course, playing them all is preferable.

This competition will start on Monday the 19th of July. You should not start making your game until then. Even if you think you have no chance of winning, you're encouraged to enter - it's as much a forum activity as a contest.

Absolutely no information about your game should be shared with anyone until the competition and voting has ended. Please reply to this post if you intend to take part, but don't give any idea of what your game will be about.

Best of luck, and have fun

@ Calin
That is why it is dangerous. Although 2 days is a lot different from a week

Tiki · Sun 18/07/2010 21:46:43

is there a specific topic or rule that you will reveal at the start of the competition?

Damn right! Tiki i love you, it's been too long!

Also i can tell you now, this is going to be an awesome OROWC.

AJA · Sun 18/07/2010 22:34:38

Ah, finally. As it turns out, the timing could be a lot better but that just means everything else has to come second.

Good luck everyone! Let's hope we'll get as many fantastic entries as usually!

I'd better go get some sleep before the hair pulling begins...

Dualnames · Sun 18/07/2010 22:36:07

Tiki!!!

There's no theme. ONE ROOM (either literally or logic) in one week.

Gord10 · Sun 18/07/2010 22:50:03

I will be doing the best I can.

Cuiki · Sun 18/07/2010 22:53:29

Ok, I'm also in.

Twirlly · Mon 19/07/2010 00:33:57

I'd like to participate, but I wish the answer to Tiki's question was yes and there was some topic/rule etc given. I think I need some guidance to complete a game in a week sadly.
