Oops, I was going to post this much earlier and Melly pointed it out, but I've been insanely busy the last few days.

I released a beta version of a quickie Famicom-like engine in C++ in Feedback a few weeks ago: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=13261.0  Its totally free, written using SDL and OpenGL with the intention of making it easy and painless to make a Famicom like game.

Feel free to use it with your games, I don't know if I'll have time to finish the Shader NTSC support, but if I do I'll make it painless to integrate.

We looked at a few of the images and just had a bunch of inspiration, check out our title image.

We here at Black Hat Brigade will try our best to participate in this great idea!!!
-We just have to tie up another project.

This has barely been running for three days and the sheer wealth of interesting/intriguing entries is already overwhelming me. I've got a feeling that this is going to be a great compo!  Smiley

I'm SOOOO stoked for this compo! I've been waiting since Assemblee Part 2 to do something... time to get some espresso and tums for these upcoming late nights!  Tired

Okay, weird request. I'm going to make a game for this. However at the end would it be possible to be excluded from the voting?

I don't really like making my games to be voted on, primarily because I want people to play my stuff because they're interested in it, rather than feeling they are obligated to as part of their voting decision.

Hey, question about:
Code:
<td style="width: 350px; vertical-align: top">
    <strong>[Game Name]</strong><br/>
    <em>by [Your Name]</em><br/>
    <em><b><font color="#4444aa">[OS's/Platforms your game runs on, separated by comma]</font></b></em><br/>
    <a href="[Download/Play Link]">Download/Play</a>, <a href="[Thread Link]">Thread</a>
</td>
The download/play link sound somewhat odd.  Are you supposed to link to the file, or to the download page?  If you're supposed to link to the file, what about games which support multiple OSs? 

Are images not going to be with the download links for the games?

Also, you forgot to color the brackets red.
I'd link to the Win32 exe version. I imagine that will be the most popular version. There's always the thread link next to it for those that want to try the other versions. I'd link to the Assemblee Part 2 page as an example of how it was done last time, but it seems to have vanished in the last server move.

I probably won't be able to take part in this awesome compo, but this must be one of the best fake games ever!


I imagine it would be like playing sim city but everything is automated and you only control the disaster-button and the tax rate  Evil

That is a weird request. I feel that if you're going to participate on the competition, you need to compete. Tongue You can always make a cart game on the side, but if you don't want to participate in the voting it's probably better not to make a thread in the compo subforum. You could always post it in DevLogs, though.

Really, you shouldn't worry about that kinda stuff. Don't overthink it, have fun, make games, participate on silly votings with no prizes! Grin

That's a shame. I'm still going to make the game but I'm going to drop out of the competition then.

Is there any chance that someone out there needs a musician? Examples of my work are at Slide20xl.bandcamp.com. I'd really like to try my hand at making music for something.

There is a thread stickied within the subforum where you can post offering your services for collaboration, or finding others that want musical help.

Although I'm a little late to get here, this competition looks awesome. Thinking of basing it on this:


Which google translate describes as
"THE KEY"
Notice and the boy are not guilty in the darkness. I can not remember exactly how or why here. The door can not go out as they locked out. In order to escape, but only relying on the hunt for the key light enters through the keyhole, or toe hit the corner of a desk, hooked to the trap ... or struggle. Interesting community spirit and you light it, a little eccentric action will escort the boy to a RPG game. Gradually revived memories of the boy by the door is opened it will also have solved the mystery.
