I'll let the video do the talking: The basics: Theme: Action Adventure. Like Zelda, but make something new! 1st place prize Multimedia Fusion 2 Developer and an export module. Make iPad games, Android games, XNA games, or other things! 2nd place prize Retron 3 console and Goof Troop. Play NES, SNES, and Genesis games! 3rd place $25 gift card to a video game store and 5 copies of Splotches ( http://splotchesgame.com ). Play whatever you want that's $25! Deadline: August 31st, 2013 11:59PM GMT-5. Four iOS publishers are watching the entries, and everyone gets at least a fancy-pants certificate and a copy of Splotches for entering. Visit the site for all the details! http://thebuswick.com If you have any questions, fling them now! (Edited to update deadline from July 31st to August 31st.) Edited by an Administrator

Right now, I'm completely failing to think of an interesting "action adventure" game concept, but if I do come up with something in the next week or two, I'll probably have a go at entering n/a

Hoping to find an artist. Good on you, OMC! n/a
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	2nd July, 2013 at 02/07/2013 00:25:35 - Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	2nd July, 2013 at 02/07/2013 06:36:09 - Well thanks, Rikus! I've had a blast planning everything and seeing it all come together. Wanted to note that the forum is now up and running over at the site, if anyone wants to try to buddy up or post about their projects. I also encourage discussion and project pages here at TDC, if it strikes anyone's fancy to do so. Edited by OMC

OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	4th July, 2013 at 04/07/2013 03:05:17 - Though I would like not to limit pre-made code in the interest of seeing polished (finished) entries, I think since there are prizes at stake, everyone should start from the same place. How about this: If you use pre-made code, it must be made available to others from the start. I can provide hosting in such cases. Feedback on this policy is welcomed.

Since you asked, I think it seems unenforceable. For example, I could write a new platform engine totally from scratch, but chances are, it would end up virtually identical to previous engines anyway, just because that's the only/best way I know how. At the same time, you don't want people submitting games that they've already been working on for months, so it's difficult... Anyhow, I'm still trying to think of a game idea, and still failing (plus I just got another job, so I might be too busy). n/a

The primary interest is in the creativity and quality of the content anyway. If you want to use a framework you've already created, I won't begrudge it.
