OK now I feel cheap - better up that to €20.
I just never really had the skills or patience to see it through. I only ever got past level 1 by cheating, on most games. I enjoy playing the games, I just suck at it. |

Wow DamienD, that's a very nice contribution
![]() E-Penguin 20 Euros LeCaravage 15 Euros Alpha One 50 Euros McGeezer 50 Euros Robisonb5 50 Euros DamienD 200 Euros Total so far: 385 Euros can someone setup a Paypal account so we can gather all donations somewhere? (I also can do it if no one steps in) I really don't want to setup the contest since I want to take part of it, but if no one steps up I'll end up doing it ![]() Those are some things I've been thinking about rules: * for a first edition, while I like the idea of the 3 different categories, I also agree it could be better to have just a single "Anything goes" category, and we expect the Jury to consider if the game asks too much hardware to deliver too little one aspect to judge the games. * Games should be distributed in .ADF format and should be 100% free in digital format. I dunno what you guys think about the devs releasing the games they use on the contest on physical format (charging for the game obviously), and if the devs could ask for donations or a fee to register, AS LONG AS the game has all features and it's 100% playable from a 100% free version. (Registering could just add the name of the user in the game or soemthing like this). * We have to consider if games should be all made by a single guy or if teams can be assembled, and if teams should have a size limit. * If free assets can be used on the game and if this would have an impact on the final grade or not. * Duration of the contest... when do we start, when do we begin receiving entries and when do we end * Do we have a jury (and who wants to be part of it - MSX Dev don't let any donors or participants of the contest to be part of it?) or games will be judged by the whole community? (I'd prefer the Jury way). How will the grading be done? - I thought each juror could grade the game in 4 aspects: Graphics (0 to 5), Sound (0 to 5), Technical Aspects (0 to 5) and Gameplay (0 to 15). This would give a total of 30 possible points for each game (from each juror) , giving more weight for how well the game plays and how fun it its than the other aspects. Or maybe each member of the jury could just give a 0 to 10 grade for each game, add the grades of each member and you have a final score. * How will the prizes be given? (I like the MSX dev format.. 1st place get 50% of the donations, 2nd place gets 30% and 3rd place gets 20%). I'd like to add that I see no problem of a donor also being a contestant. Any considerations / ideas? |

E-Penguin 20 Euros
LeCaravage 15 Euros Alpha One 50 Euros McGeezer 50 Euros Robisonb5 50 Euros DamienD 200 Euros Amiten 50 Euros Total so far: 435 Euros Quote:
Like I said, I think each judge could using those factors: Graphics: A grade between 0 and 5 Sounds: A grade between 0 and 5 Technical Aspects (Give me a better name for this please ![]() Gameplay: A grade between 0 and 15 This will give a total score of 30 per game per each judge. If 2 or more games are tied, the total on Gameplay should be the tie-breaker. Then we add those rules: If the game...: Uses "stolen" art: loses 1 point on graphics and 1 point on technical Uses free mods: loses 1 point on graphics and 1 point on technical Is a port: loses 1 point on technical Needs more hardware than it really should: Loses 3 points on technical Was fully made by a single guy: Earns 1 point on technical And the graphical aspect should be judged against on what chipset the game is running. It's obviously easier to do a prettier game on AGA than on OCS/ECS. |

Hmmm, maybe we need to up the ante in order to get more people involved / interested.
I'll donate another €500 to the prize pool ![]() |

![]() I best up my coding skills! How's about getting this on the Vintage is the new old site or Indie Retro News...? It would gain a bit traction then. Perhaps get them to sponsor it or something? This could be Shatterhands' thunder though. |

I honestly thought Akira was banned for some reason, maybe he just left I guess. Hope both of them are OK. |

Shatterhand PM'd me last night, he's been busy, but as expected should be back to take control in september.
I let him know we opened up for entries, and I'm sure he would be grateful for all the attention that can be garnered. One day I will also be a consultant IT specialist earning the big bucks, not working for a education establishment. |
