I'll have my gameprofile submitted by tonight, meaning I'll have 3 complete maps, 4 characters, my system and dialog windows done, all custom drawn from scratch. I'm taking this seriously too! And the people I fear the most are the ones that don't say anything.

But I don't really mind not winning this time, I'm having a lot of fun doing this project.
Just so you know, you can't win since Anaryu is participating.

Too bad you can't actually submit it to Game Gale yet! (Submit Entry is busted)

These kinda of comments are really annoying you know. :<

If I usually win, it's because usually everyone doesn't finish.

Calunio has already kicked my butt in another contest might I add!
Yeah, I'm just practicing optimism. I'm usually pessimistic. So, is the submit entry problem getting fixed? I'm getting ahead of my schedule.

As soon as I get my lecture finals out of the way, I'll begin to actually do some work here.

I've already begun brainstorming and drawing up ideas. I'm thinking of doing a Pikmin inspired game with aliens and little people. :)
OH ALRIGHT THEN THERE YOU GO

As usual, I've bitten off more than I could chew.

Oh, well, better luck next time, I guess.
There's like ten days left DE. You can just restart in a less ambitious project. I haven't even started making mine yet.

On another site maybe, on RMN it's more likely it won't - so I wouldn't count on an extension unless you want to end up short!

If an extension is going to be given they should give the word soon one way or another, the later the extension comes the more unbalanced things will be. (See Also: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HintDropping)
Well, I asked for an extension before the thing even started, because I think it's the fairest. I'm still hoping for one.
the lack of decision by this time has kind of made the decision for us. Do not count on an extension. The window of opportunity for an extension has passed, imho.
