These are awesome. I like that Meteor Night one and the one above it the most. I wouldn't participate, but it would be cool to see a competition using again.

I don't have much of a preference as to when it is. I'll be at PAX one weekend out of August, but that wouldn't be a dealbreaker.

I don't think I could finish a game in less than a month...anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks would be my preference.

I like the idea of an annual "AGBIF" compo that's strictly tied to that year's Famicase entries. One of the things I enjoyed about AGBIC was seeing different takes on the same cover, and limiting the pool would encourage more of that.

I should really try participating in longer compos (i.e. month-long ones) and just treat them as 1-week compos, plus bonus time if I happen to find inspiration + motivation.

But seriously. There is a lot of Fami-love.

Somebody should contact the Famicase guys, as I know those covers are shown at some exhibition, it would be awesome if along that they could show the games we make out of them.

Of course they would need to look like real Famicom games, but still.  Noir

Exactly my thoughts on the matter! Of course, the pool IS awful small, so I'm afraid that you'll have TOO much overlap... we'll figure this out, I'm sure!

I also think this would be fantastic. How about make it from the current and last year alone?

/signed. If the pool for this year is small, then maybe allowing to use some of the carts from last year isn't a bad idea.

I'm doing a google summer of code project until mid August, so I'd prefer any time after that... but I would probably try and fit making a very simple entry in, even if it's earlier that.

August to September is apparently a good time to do this.

It also seems that using 2011 and 2010 is a good way to do it as well, since it provides variety, but also encourages new cases to be used.

Maybe even a dibs system could be set up, similar to Action 52, but with more slots per case?

Sadly, August is quite far away; hopefully everyone would remain this excited for when it draws near!

 No No NO Who cares if a particular cart is super popular? The games are unlikely to end up very similar anyway.

BTW if when this happens I have too much free time, I will definitely make a few games for a few cartridges.

  • Sounds like a good time.
  • I still call dibs on TOUCH!!
  • We're always excited for compos.
  • To possible judges if this goes through in the agenda: Please don't limit it to a mostly Windows-only thing. There need to be judges with other operating systems.

One more vote for annual Famicase compo.

EDIT: Oh I get it, the Bubble Gal one is a parody of American vidya cover art. Now I feel dum.  Durr...?

Last AGBIC we didn't do dibs, did we?

I like the idea of multiple users having a shot at doing the same game. I personally enjoy seeing how different people interpret the same cartridge art.
