I have already expressed my opinion in Rygar's thread (ie it was clear that the various projects would not have been finished in such a short time, I would have allowed twice the time).
But at this point there is a danger: the risk that once the competition is over the projects are left at the tech-demo or beta stage or what they are. So we need an incentive for them to continue. I throw it there: why not allocate a percentage of the sum and deliver it only to the completed projects? Let me explain: x% delivered immediately as a result of the judges, 100-x% only after a (defined, relatively short) time period and at finished product. If someone does not finish the project, the sum is divided between those who conclude it. In the percentage of merit already decided. I hope I was clear... Just a (silly?) idea Yeah, sure silly 'cause author have any right to define finished a game with how many parts they want. EDIT: regarding the other two questions: 1) deadline is a deadline, so competitors should be respected (my previous proposal does not modify merit, it only serves to stimulate the finished products, which makes sense otherwise the next time you can think of presenting incomplete things and that's okay); 2) if there is no rule regarding PHX's request only the judges can decide. EDIT2: x=66? 75? Last edited by ross; 25 February 2019 at 20:13. Reason: better explained, maybe |

It looks to me any date between these two would be OK.

So, unless all participants agree, the deadline must remain unchanged. This is the minimum respect that the participants having followed the rules deserve. Next competitions could be different... per rules. You are welcome Quote:

Unacceptable change if not stipulated from the beginning. Sure my idea can be a suggestion for a future competition, but not for this time (I had already regretted it as soon as I wrote it) |

I agree, keep deadline and prize distribution as is. But allow anyone to submit a game before the deadline.

+1 to Malkos opinion.
(Edit: Maybe we find a way to motivate ppl to finish projects, after the contest...) Last edited by Nightshft; 26 February 2019 at 14:13. |

What would have been good would be to make an Amiga GOTY award.
With three awarding games, and maybe some special categories. I have a project or two in development, just continuous redesigns and familiar issues, very time consuming.. I have not reached the deadline. |
