TWOHOUR, COMING TO AN IRC NEAR YOU!
Posts
So back in 2012, I attempted to revive an old #rm2k contest called OneHour, in which participants were given a topic decided by one of the members and had one hour to make a game around that topic. After the hour, entries were uploaded and played, and everyone voted on their favourite. The winner of a OneHour would decide the topic for the next one.
A large number of the responses requested a slightly longer time limit for the contest, so now, 3 years later (dude, I started Tundra in 2001; get used to me taking a while to get around to things) I bring you....TWOHOUR
The inaugural TwoHour, which has identical rules to OneHour but lasts twice as long, will take place on Saturday the 16th of May at 9:00pm GMT, in #twohour on irc.synirc.net
It's happening, people. Question is, will you be there to waste two hours of your life on what will probably be the most horrendously awful game you've ever made?

As an IRC OP it'd be criminal of me not to be around.
(I wouldn't mind doing a 4-hour again myself. Maybe I'll make Don's Adventures 3...)

I did a two-hour jam once before for Glorious Trainwrecks and I ended up with a goofy game where you summon squids... and that's pretty much it. The majority of the time was spent making a squid <:=
Anyway, I'm not sure if I'll be around for this one, but they're a lot of fun! If you're going for it, good luck!
(The 8-hour one sounds like a blast too. I'll definitely try and make time for it if I can.)

8-hour one sounds like mass murder to me.
I hope we will be informed early so we can take extra yoga lessons before it.

i mean, "8-hour" doesn't necessarily mean "work for eight hours straight." we can't all be craze. i'm not even always craze.
11 hours to go people! Hope to see you on IRC. :)
I want to participate, but I have a question...
Where we are going to upload the games? Do I have to make an account for mega or mediafire? Or can we just make a gameprofile?

Back in the day we just uploaded them wherever people could download them from if I remember correctly. It'll probably take too long to get a game profile approved for this (and you're not going to be able to submit screenshots until after the event's over anyway, obviously) so I would go with Dropbox or Mediafire or something.
Three and a half hours left. Clarification that this is indeed at 9:00 PM GMT. Not BST, not EST and definitely not CST, because who cares about that noise?

It's 9pm BST. I screwed up, sorry!
