If you make the game you are of course disqualified  |

I think a vaporware competition would be much more fitting than just fan games.

A vaporware competition might be fun. See who can create the most hype for a game that doesn't exist.
It seems like people already do this all the time in the form of mockups and started but unfinished games? It would be cool to have a compo dedicated to that though. Make up some awesome game and don't finish it on purpose. If you actually end up finishing (or even releasing something playable) you get disqualified  . |

I never understood how can fangames that no one makes a profit with can get into legal issues.
Because when a company owns the rights, can are entitled to tell you to go fuck yourself, be you making any money or not. Different companies have different policies. Valve is extremely friendly, in my experience, to people parodying their stuff, like with their official support for Gang Garrison. Square-Enix are the dicks who killed every single Chrono Trigger fan remake there was long before CT DS was ever announced. |

How would we go about names, though?

Heh, ongoing competition that doesn't require any tangible game. I like it. |

I was told I could always bet on Duke.
I lost everything I had.

demake  The first shareware episode was one of my favourite (or only) games when we got our first computer. I'd love to do a Duke Nukem 3D 2D. |

I super approve of a vaporware competition. Coming up with mockups is half the fun of the game anyways.

extra points should be given for making long, complex trailers for games that you have no footage of

Or we could just make actual games based on actual vaporware titles that never made it? Something like a "continue where they left off" thing?
Obviously with bootleg names etc.
If so, I take The Cheetahmen.

I would so use this as an excuse to make that game I've wanted to make out of the trailer for DoozyBots. (Okay, so it's not actual vaporware, but it's the TV equivalent, and I'd still be making a game based off of it.)    |

wh'appened here? I was talkin'bout Duke Nukem games... The vaporware thing sounds kinda cool, though it's not about making games. Maybe posters? I just thought it'd be a timely compo given the recent news.
BTW regarding the rights stuff... One rule I live by that I stole from Banksy: It's always easier to get forgiveness than permission.

I would kinda prefer focusing on Duke Nukem Forever specifically, as the comedy value is higher that way.
