Scary4Digits 2014 - A Gamedev Competition for Halloween

BEGINS: September 20th, 2014 @ 00:00 UTC
ENDS: October 30th, 2014 @ 23:59 UTC

64Digits proudly presents the 4th annual Scary4Digits game development competition. Since 2011, Scary4Digits has been a staple competition of the 64Digits community; everyone in the community comes together to compete against one another, make games, and have fun - then come Halloween night, play all the creations in a spooktacular fashion.

The tradition isn't changing this year, but the way themes are handled is. Historically, a single theme has been given for participants to use, but this year will be different; each entrant (solo participants and entire teams) will be randomly assigned 3 themes from a precompiled list of themes, meaning each entry will be following a different set of themes. Themes will be completely open to interpretation to promote creativity and thinking outside of the box.

Over the years, competitions hosted on 64Digits have attracted hundreds of participants and have obtained big name sponsors such as Unity, YoYo Games, Scirra, and more.

Entry Submission and Voting

To submit your entry, you must use the game submission system on 64Digits and set the game's genre to "S4D14", and then send me a PM as notification that your entry has been submitted. There will be two rounds of voting, the first of which starting on November 1st. All participants MUST vote during both periods to avoid being disqualified. The method of voting will be determined at a later date.

NOTE: All participants will receive a free trial for Unity 4.x Pro for the duration of the competition.
