"You must include at least one character who is based on someone on TIGForums." "You must have a skip-able intro before main menu" "Gamer should be able to complete your game under 5 hours of gameplay ( Don't forget possibility of warp zones!)"
And the last one: "You can choose 1 rule to not obey!"

Keep each separate rule in a separate post. We want quality over quantity here, so think more about the specific rules you really want. Also, you just made the list. :3

You must benefit from the death of something you can control. This can't be a victory condition.

I am so in.
Your game shall not have collectibles (coins, rings, etc.) unless they are a legitimate and useful part of gameplay/mechanic (ammo, health-based pickups, etc.).

You must combine one pair of rules into a single coherant rule. Example: Jellyfish + omnipresent NPC = omnipresent jellyfish
This might not be a good idea, it's up to you whether to add it or not.

Eh, a good part of the judging will be how well the developers meld and twist these rules together. No need in adding such a rule as this, since an omnipresent jellyfish would just be a fucking amazing idea; period. I'm sure many people will try to knock out several rules with one or two elements of their game that just happen to be that tightly knitted together, and to those people more power to them. I'm sure it will reflect when judgment day comes.

We should have an additional "Rules that didn't make it"-list. Just for inspiration and additional "challenge"

Rule: All dialogue, text etc must be either in poetic meter (pentameter, hexameter or haiku form), or rhyming badly.

I feel this particular rule limits text too much, especially for games that may be shooting for little, or brief and concise text. It's also a lot of extra work for some people who may struggle with dialogue in the first place. If you want to personally engage this rule, the by all means proceed. However, for everyone else's sake, I'm going to let this one fall to the wayside.

Now that's just cruel. It doesn't have to be (or should be) GOOD poetry. And Haiku and bad rhymes are not difficult Well then, "all dialogue and text must rhyme (plus points for bad rhymes)". Edit: Bah, I pull it back. Rhymes might not be as fun, at least for everyone, as I thought at first.

I like this idea.
At least one sexual innuendo.

this sounds fun. I'll probably be in during the game making part with a short 1 or 2 day project. That said. You must use a preset pallete from colourlovers.com?... This or something else with color sounds fun and I'll probably try this also... all dialogue and text must rhyme (plus points for bad rhymes as I'm a fan of rhymes
