So nice of people to finish early so I can make a start of judging while I have time off. So far I've finished Town of Illustive, I'll leave you some feedback in a bit.

That's how I feel when reading any tutorial on anything.

Oh my God, it's Sunday. :|

I spent the majority of Friday until about now in 102+ degree fevered dreams. I was really counting on this weekend. :V

I'm torn. I want you to release your game, because I want to play it; but I don't, because I'm a competitive shit who wants to win. Such a dilemma.

We'll finish in time! We always do. : )
It'll just be short a lot of bells and whistles I wanted...

I wouldn't worry too much, 3D games aren't usually too popular on RMN, though there's not many precedences to base that on.

---

I'd like to make a call-out to my wife-artist, who got a cold during early October which developed into two severe inner-ear infections, and as those were clearing up this last week she got a sinus infection that made half her face numb which she's currently in the hospital getting checked out.

Despite all that she's finished a TON of resources (7 full, rigged, animated, and hand-textured 3D models on top of environment textures, GUI pieces, a skybox, and some design help!) and wouldn't even consider postponing the project.

Never have kids. Daycares/school are the worlds most effective disease incubators.

Are you just learning this or did you know it before and just failed to heed your own advice? : )

And yes, kids bring home everything.

Ironically the eldest child managed to stay healthy the ENTIRE TIME. Kids tougher than I am now. : (
Is it too Crazy of me to ask for someone willing to playtest my game in a very short time? I expect to finish my game Wednesday night... I need someone who might play it until Thursday at noon, approximately.

It's more that I am experiencing it firsthand now. With the youngest (1 year) in daycare now, and the eldest (4 years) entering preschool, the effects of this phenomenon are in full force. I'm doing ok, but the wife is CONSTANTLY SICK (it is getting really annoying)
Finally submitted my gameprofile! Waiting for approval.

Almost finished my entry, just need to do one more dungeon (unfortunately it's the biggest one) and then go back and tweak/fine-tune some things!
I'm confident I'll get it done on time. ^_^

Game has to be submitted by the deadline.

I'd definitely be keen. ;)
Woot, I am so tired right now. And I'm still not finished.

But I am determined, tomorrow I will be finished and will begin bug hunting. Don't suppose anyone would like to help me out with that? My brother is deliberately running away to his girlfriends so I won't ask him, the brat.
My team's game will most likely not make the deadline and so be ineligible for the contest, but I refuse to let them quit!

They got behind and now they don't feel it is worth trying to finish on time. Nothing I can do seems to get the fire back in them either, but it WILL get done, even if it is late!
Now that we finally have a title, we should have a game page submitted some time later this evening. Probably going to wait until tomorrow once a few more things are done. Just need to decide on what screenshots to take and write some sort of description. Maybe try and get a title screen done as well.

It's going to be tight to finish. We certainly procrastinated far too long. I think it's still doable to finish, but only because we're both off from now until the deadline.

Yeah that's pretty tragic. Hope everyone involved is alright after that incident.
