This looks neat, I should try this, a time limit will probably help me see a game out to the end.

Hmmm... I'd love to enter but it'd be hard to convince my parents to let me stay up for 48 hours... but I'll try :D

Yeah, you're totally expected to sleep. Some of us did the no sleep thang in the original 24 our compo, but it's more bragging rights than actually useful.

I might not be the best person to give advice on this, but yeah, sleep is definitely recommended. You'll probably work much better when refreshed than when bone tired, better quality in less time. Also, sleep means being away from your game for a little while, giving you a fresh perspective when you return. Dreams can also be useful for expanding on ideas and giving you new ones. Also remember to eat and drink, and get some fresh air once in a while |

Ah, but of course, my parents were complete jerks and they didn't understand... Sigh... I guess I won't be able to enter this one, or if I do, I'll have a huge headache... What's so wrong about spending 40 of 48 hours up and coding? It's not like I haven't done it before...  |

You don't have to stay up all night. I wouldn't.  |

Looks like it's now down to just ten themes:
AI Opponent
Aquarium
Architecture
Chain Reaction
Colonization
Evolution
Flight
Flood
Reverse time
Time travel
I'm still not quite sure if I'm taking part or not. All depends on whether or not I like the final theme, I guess.

So basically, I join the site, write my game and submit it as a blog post? Or am I missing some kind of registration link?

It's just that simple. You can do more if you want, like posting progress logs and shots, but you're not required to.

Just a little update on this.. The compo is over (has been over for a few days now..), with more than 50 finished entries. Voting is now in progress, for the next two weeks (Only people who finished an entry can vote.) It's a bit difficult to find all the final entries for non-participants currently since Wordpress can't mix categories and tags apparently, but hopefully that'll get better when the voting period is over (or look for posts here marked with the 'final' tag). |
