General Rules
  • You can enter this contest by replying to this topic. Your submission should be sent to me via PM before the finish date. Any entries after that may get marked down.
  • You can use any language (C++, BASIC, etc) or RAD IDE (Game Maker, MMF, etc).
  • Full source code must be provided with the submission to validate it is your work.
  • You can work on your own or in teams.
  • The game can be a recreation of anything you want, they do not have to be full recreations either. A single level or titlescreen is enough, though of course the more effort you put in the more points you will get.


Prizes
None. The prize is getting recognition from the community. Not to mention vote rigging and such in previous contests has left us not wanting to do any monetary prizes.


Description
Right guys, I'm sure you know the deal by now. This contest is pretty similar to the one we had last time, the basic idea is that you are given 2 weeks to work on a game development project, the best project after those two weeks is the winner. The project has to be a remake of another game, it can be anything from pong to pokemon, its entirely your choice. Your remake does not have to be a direct pixel-for-pixel recreation of the original, you can add new mechanics and new ideas to it, but the basic game has to be recognizable as the one you are remaking.


What can I do before the start?
If you have come up with an idea for your entry and you want to get working on it before the start of the contest, please only do work on gather/creating assets and such. Actual programming and development should not take places before the start date, to give all teams a fair chance.


I WANT TO ENTER!?
Post in this topic with the game you are thinking of recreating and we will sign you up. You can then spend the time until the start date deciding how you are going to do your project and gathering any resources neccessary for it. However if you don't intend to complete the project by the finish date, please don't enter, we want some real competition :).

Do you think a week is long enough to keep registration open for? Or should I extend it a bit further?

Deadlines for registration for contests related to development are a little unnecessary so long that the time to do the development is sufficient. In other words, if anyone could get their project in on time that would be fine; having a deadline on registration might rush people into participation when their chances of actually finishing their entry would be small.

Conversely those more able to finish their entries on time would also be those that likely would start earlier - if a week doesn't get that much interest in the contest, the deadline for registration can be lengthened, if someone is a little late but has the possibility of finishing on time, then we shouldn't really say no to their participation.

Infinitus - Pokemon

God damnn it AHHHHHHH, no but really that is neat, Pokemon is a cool game. If you can get a menu engine that works efficiently that would be neat too.

I might participate but I have other things to work on as well so I am not officially going to through my proverbial hat at this yet.

I think it's funny how everyone is doing different projects and asking others for resources.

I agree. Mind you I have the reason that I am having extreme difficulty spriting NPCs.

Good for you. BTW, if in the next 24 hours my posts sound ratty, it's because I've had very little sleep. Anyway, I've done alot of the Clock Town NPCs. only 9/10 more to go!!!
