Read me - Contest Deadline approaches

19 years ago

If your game is in the works, it has to be DONE and ready to be judged by DECEMBER 1ST.

To those of you who are questioning this, i will make it simple, when i say BY december 1st, i mean the last minute you can work on your game is 11:59PM on November 30th.  As soon as december 1st hits the deadline is OVER.

If you unpublish your game, or edit it after the deadline your game is disqualified from the contest.

Any questions?  Don't argue.

Glad to get that straight. I thought it was December 1st 11:59 Pm. Okay, got to get back to Cryptode.

ALEX!!!!! A QUESTION REGARDING THE CONTEST!

19 years ago
Alex, will my chances of winning the contest be reduced if i do not have images on my pages as well as my items.

Approx 40% of the items in Cryptode have images, the rest do not
Only the driving pages have images on them and they are the navigation/map images.

I will say this ...

The games are judged on the overall experience, not specific points. Seeing that lame brownbag for items takes away for the experience for me.

If I were making a game with lots of items that really don't need pictures, I'd replace the Brownbag image with some other generic image, that fits the theme of the game.

Sounds like your pages could use some pictures, too. No need to get 100% coverage, but I like seeing them every once in a while.

A place to find images is http://images.google.com

I'm set.  Here is how I think it will go:

$100 Prize: Cryptode v. The Cave v. Mattias

The odds for each are:

55%- Cryptode

25%- The Cave

20%- Mattias

If Cryptode fails to come out at deadline... it's dead heat.

The $50 & $25 prizes go to the runner-ups.  If Cryptode dosen't come out, the $25 third prize will go to either May the 28th or one of three others.

The honorable mentions will go to three of the four talked about above (May the 28th and the other 3).

BTW, you know what? I found a link to this site in the Wikipedia article on Choose-Your-Own-Adventures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure)

Thank you very much JDog! But Cryptode will make the deadline because it is done and i can publish it right now if i wanted to. The reason i have not is because i want to add those item images and page images, so do not worry, it will make the deadline. That is very cool that the link is on Wiki, i love using the encyclopedia.

Well... didn't you see my idea: You will go home with $100!

I'll try to get the $50 second prize.

who said that?  maybe it will be, we have to pool some funds, but more than likely we're looking at MAG merchandise or something... but money's not out of the question yet.
