So who's up for this

I was thinking about this sites closure and decided that the most important thing about RMN for me was how it consistently got me up off my ass to actually make and release games. Whether for Action 52 or Shinan's contest or the various seasonal gamemaking contests I pretty consistently had a blast in trying to put together and release something under a deadline while also seeing what the other cool_dudes taking part would come up with. I think even beyond forumchats and recieving crits etc this kind of activity was what attracted me most to the site and was actually what made me join in the first place! And I thought it would be a fitting farewell kinda to use the forums closure as yet another excuse to hunker down and be productive.

So yeah if anyone is interested the aim is to release a full game before the forum implodes. This gives you a month!! to get something out. so you have until april 2.

If anyone's interested in judging what gets released etc then we can make an actual contest out of this sucker. It's not an official contest or whatever. You can use any engine or materials etc so 'go ape' as they say.

Themes are optional but in case you need one I would suggest: RAD DOGS

remember: "forums are temporary... finished games are forever" - dark_nietzsche_666


The Site Isn't Closing Down
...however the the sentiment of completing games is a good one. Working against a deadline with other chaps in a "last gasp" game drive whilst sharing crits and encouragement is something worth doing, I believe.

So I am making an official event out of this sucker.

Rules
* Complete a game by April 2nd 16th
* Use a gameprofile download as your entry
* It doesn't have to be a new game - you can take one of your existing projects and finish it off

Theme
* RAD DOGS
* Theme is optional

Minutiae
* We don't have judges or a contest or anything, but if you want to be a judge let me know and I can add you!
* Participants who submit a completed game will get a nifty Rad Dog achievement (makerscore!!)

It ended over a month ago!

There will be more events (probably!)
Can you extend this for people who weren't here but are interested in joining? PLEASE!!! I want to do this!
Shinan doesn't have administrator rights on his workstation so he can't install anything.
Alright now I've played each of the entries for about two minutes each. More than enough time to judge methinks.

Except the games that required the RTP of course. I couldn't play those.

Also, Shinan - are you still judging?

Yeah I'm still judging, I think. Whoever heard of an event being judged on time anyway?

incidentally i didn't submit anything for this because for the past couple of weeks i've been working on something 10x more interesting


also submitting something would mean you'd have more than 0 makerscore and we all know that can't happen
playing the world cup in FIFA 2011 is not 10 times more interesting ;-)

Well, the achievement looks kinda neat. Too bad I couldn't finish but I have a 4 day weekend upcoming and hope to finish my game either in those days or the weekend after that.
