CloseRegarding Calunio's extension idea, we are waiting to hear from other judges on the idea. I particularly wouldn't mind it having a slightly longer development cycle if it encourages more people to actually submit projects instead of 90% of the entrants dropping out after a week. =)
Once the contest actually starts, however, I would not count on an extension beyond this one being granted.

*tries not be impatient while waiting for theme*
Two weeks is a little harsh, but for me it's good because putting that kind of restriction is probably the only way I will ever finish a game.

Although this is a very open-ended theme that you can apply in almost anyway you like, note that "This game is an escape from reality for the player!" is unlikely to be considered acceptable!
The contest has officially begun! To quote WolfCoder and geodude, "Gentleman, start your engines!"
Don't forget the most important rule: Have fun!

I was working on a 4 chapter story and the theme of this contest matched up! and I just started on it today, WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!

Edit: Nevermind, new question, how would a team share work on the same game file? Like say I have a member on my team. How would he work on the same game I'm making? Also, how do you give a text file with a download?
Wow... I had like 3984739873 ideas that fit 98347938473 themes, but this one really caught me by surprise. *runs completely out of ideas*
I was just wondering, does this means we're not allowed to use rips or we can use them but points will get deducted, or something like that? orz
