It'll start at something like 10pm EST tonight (just under 3 hours from this post's time) and go on for 24 hours.

The results will be an average of scores given by competing members in the competition, and also anyone who posts in this post by midnight tonight (5 hours from this post). Competing members in the competion will be weighed double. Also, in order to give a score (either competing or just posting), there must be at least a brief comment for each category.

Scores are given out on a scale from 0.0-10.0 in the following categories:
Theme
Originality
Completeness
Graphics
Gameplay
Overall/Personal Preference

There will be three main points to the compition. First is theme. The theme will be revealed at 10pm. It will be random, and I will explain how that is so at 10pm when it is chosen.

Second is Originality. You should strive to make something different. Either genre-wise, art-style-wise, or whatever.

Third is completness. For this competition, completeness refers only to wrapping the game up. Length does not matter, as long as you could pull the game off as, for instance, a demo or something.

All three 'featured' categories are also up to reader interpretation. As a final rule, when scoring a game, you will not be allowed to score your own game (and if you have an alias don't use it, although I really have no way of knowing).

I'd like to wrap the top three games (if we get that many) into one app for download here, but we'll see if I can even get anyone to participate. If not, I'm going to do it alone and win I guess.

So, anyone game? Or does anyone have questions, suggestions, comments?

I'm in, bubba.

I really need to sleep this night though so I'll start way later than everyone else.
1 am over here already. :c

But yup, I'm in! Hope we get some more competition.

2 of us for now. Hopefully there will be more. Also, anyone that wants to join late can, you'll just have a time disadvantage.

lol, I might, but then I'm doing 2 compos at once and I'll probably make a game in 3 or 4 hours rather than 24.

The issue with waiting 24 hours is that its going to bleed into monday, and for anyone in summer school, or people working (like myself), are going to lose that day. However, the solution is to make it a 48-hour competition.

So a new rule, this is now a 48-hour compo. Maybe an admin can change the topic? It starts now officially, as three is good for now, maybe we can get some extras along the way.

The end time is 10:00pm EST, August 6th.

First I will explain my idea for the theme so that I can prove I did not think of it beforehand. I took the last person to comment's name (Pixelthief), split it into two words, and wanted to find the first interesting concept that came up in google. The first entry was:

"Stop Thief Screen Saver free download. Pixel Paradox makes NO ..."

So, the theme for the compition is:

PARADOX

Interpret and use it however you want. I look forward to everyone's entries!

I made a little application once that timed when MMF was open, after a given period (in my case 72 hours) it would beep and shout at you. It's open to cheating but you actually get a flexible 24 hours to make a game.

That's quite interesting. Although the reason I wanted to have this comp was more for a fixed timeframe, so that maybe a decent short game or two will actually be released by Monday night.

And we are well underway for the compo. We have three entrants so far, and 1/4th of the time is gone. Anyone care to share your concepts?

I don't want to ruin mine, but its kind of an action-puzzler...

Sephirenn, great idea. Thanks for organising this. I'd like to see more user participation and friendly competition around here.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to enter this time, but good luck to everyone who is entering! Looking forward to playing the results

Yay, thanks for the news post.

Maybe this means more entries? Anyway, a question;
ripped music/sounds, allowed or not?
