Only problem is that really hampers some genres, and would require the voters to come back another time and play it again.

That's a problem, but the real problem is for non-programmers and more casual designers. Making a game with that kind of real time advancement ain't easy. You have to make a game that actually uses that, and then you have to make the code that simulates what happenned since the last time it was played.

Good points. I haven't thought about these possibilities.

10-minute compo
games are 10 minutes in duration, max.
Not race against the clock, just use the players time wisely

Every game's name is an acronym for T.I.G. . For example, you can make a game called " Tremendously Intelligent Gorilla" or " Three Imp Gang" and the game obviously has to have some sort of connection with it's name. Or, a compo where you guys have to pick your game's name from this random video game name generator. and then make the game to fit it's name. |

Miniature game
A game where it takes place as if you were shrunk. Let's say about mouse size.

A turn-based game with minigames.

This is why we need the competition SUBFORUMS. So new Tigers don't overlook our proud history.  Also, Smileys up the wazoo. Wow. |

You do know that we already had exactly that compo, right? Or are you being facetious? |

I think we should have a competition in which we all make mediocre games. Like, some kind of "B-Game" competition.
If we can't do that, perhaps we could start a competition in which we all make games with procedurally generated content? I like that idea too.

Twist Ending Compo! Make a game that ends with a twist. It could have a surprise ending to the story, such as "Lol, all those zombies you slayed were just kids in halloween costumes!" or "turns out you were killed back in level 1 and since then you've been a ghost like Bruce Willis!" Or the twist could be part of the game, but near the end - like in Halloween Harry, where the final boss (who appears during the game as a silhouetted bad guy with glowing eyes) turns out to be... [spoiler]Zombie Elvis Presley from Outer Space[/spoiler]!!! Or, y'know, you could do some completely irrelevant twist, such as a game of Tetris that ends with the message: "CONGRATULATIONS YOU WON. OH BY THE WAY, YOU WERE ADOPTED".  A nice side-effect of this compo is that it encourages us to FINISH making our games...  |
