International Contest?
And of course the most important rule of all: All games should be standalone.
Yes, I agree with that.
For voting system the only way this could be a truly cross-community effort is if every participant community had a judge (or two) in the competition.
So you're saying that games should be rated by judges as opposed to members? From my experience, people complain a lot about that and keep asking for members to vote as opposed to a few selected individuals.
How about February the 5th or 10th ? We have a little over a month and a half then. I don't think we should have a length limitation, though.
Yes and yes. That's no problem, really.
I hope more members can express their opinions about this as I wouldn't want the rules to be complained about later on.
I'd like to know what you people think about the rules in general and the voting system as well.
And we still need someone to be in charge of Imaginarium and the other community.
Once we've figured out the core people who will work on this it'll be easier to organize this more efficiently.
More volunteers would be awesome. It really doesn't require a lot of time. It's mostly translating the rules to the target languages and then answering questions by members of the respective communities.
As I've already said before, we'd need something classy to represent the contest, so if some of the artists on the board could craft something, that would be great as well.
DIVIDED INFINTY
About this:
I think voice acting is a very difficult thing to pull off. It's difficult for the voices to sound natural and *stick* to the game and the characters.
I commend the effort into doing this, the idea itself is really original and neat.
As for the voice acting in the trailer, I think it needs some work (it's not worthless or anything, just needs more work). The voice acting felt "forced" to me, I thought it didn't sound very natural and thus credible. It reminded me of those anime dubs made by fans (which I have a hard time with ;)).
It's hard to explain but I think the best way to do this would probably to put you "in character" and react how you would if you were in this situation as opposed to trying to recreate a reaction artificially (ie, "Ok the character is angry now, I need to shout).
Just my two cents, keep going at this and it'll become something really unique.

Bonjour!
Hey do you guys think I have an accent when I speak in English? Some people have told me I do and other people that I don't. If I do, I'd like to get rid of it so...
International Contest?
Not everyone at the same time! (j/k)
Here's some questions about the rules:
Written in italics is my opinion. Nothing set in stone obviously.
1.) Only custom made graphics or is everything allowed?
Everything should be allowed. Custom graphics are usually rewarded by players anyway.
2.) Individual members or teams?
I'd say both but I think working in teams should be encouraged, up to a maximum of 4 people.
3.)The deadline
I'd say February 1st. That would give two months for members to hand in their games and two weeks for members to test and vote (I didn't even know when was Valentine's day... -___-').
4.)Voting system
A poll system where members choose a game for category ex: story, graphics, design... etc...We could set up a poll at one place where people would vote. Everything in the same spot for easy data collection.
5.)Awards
First, second and third place for each category.
6.)Limitations
*Nothing about the games can be shared with members out of the team.
*No text is allowed. Invented languages (which don't mean anything) are allowed.
*Game must be handed in before the 1st of February, Greenwhich Time.
7.)Length
I don't think this should be strict. I think give a general guideline of 10 to 30 minutes (at most?).
Well, I think that would pretty much cover it.
Any more rules we'd need?

International Contest?
Alright, so you can be in charge of Atelier then, correct?
I just need someone for Imaginarium and the Italian community (I might know someone for the Italian community).
We can use messenger but I'd rather if everyone threw in their 2 cents about the rules for the contest. The more the contest appeals to people, the more participation we'll get.

That's from the Italian community: <3
@YDS: Could you whip up something attractive to represent the contest? You know, something creative and eye-catching: "International Valentine Contest" or something drawn with wacky characters, with plenty of colours and cute stuff. You know, to leave a good first impression.
I thought about something, since there's no text, people could use sounds (think Mario on the DS here) or facial expressions to convey meaning or just pictures in a dialogue box and so on.
As I've said, I'll take care of Oniromancie.
Is anyone active on Atelier who'd be taken seriously if they introduced the forum. If one of us go there while being unknown people won't participate as much (especially if we start writing in English). The key here is to use known members from each respective communities and use the language of each forum (intercultural). If we advertise in English (think copy/paste here), it just looks like we'd be a bunch of yankees dropping by just for *our* contest.

International Contest?
As I understand it, this seems to be be a pretty active Italian community.
@YDS: There are no rules yet, good for you.
I think Valentine is a good theme (=theme of love). That would give a good two weeks to organize the contest and two months for the people to get to work.
Who'd like to help to put this together? If no one volunteers, this will go nowhere. I hope other members can participate to make this come true.

International Contest?
Welp (that seems the right thing to say around here).
I don't mind spending some of my time to get this off the ground but I don't want to do it by myself.
I could promote on Oniromancie, but we'd need someone for the German, Spanish and Italian community.
Would be cool if someone could draw some sort of logo or something as well.
Suppose we pick New Years or Valentine, would that appeal to you guys?
If so, what about the rules? What were the contest rules for your horror contest here at RMN?
EDIT: Yeah Valentine would give more time and with a theme of love could bring some pretty cool stuff.

I think members would probably need about a month to work on this. 2 weeks would be too short a time (that is, of course, assuming the game must be handed in before the first of January).
I'll wait for a while for your ideas about the theme.

@Darken:
Well, yes, something like that. I think they could simply submit their games to whoever is responsible for the contest. Games would then be numbered and uploaded somewhere to be played by members in all of the communities for a while.
@alterego:
If you think they'd be interested, sure.
As I've said, we'd need clear rules right off the bat otherwise we would be stuck in a shitstorm of apocalyptic proportion (forgive my French).
I don't think 10 days would be nowhere near enough to get this organized which is why the theme couldn't really be christmas.
Let's hear it for your suggestions about the contest. Any ideas, suggestions? It would need to be something without text and something that can appeal to most communities.
EDIT: I agree, YDS.
EDIT2: Does the theme need to have something to do with the holidays?
Either way, this isn't *my* contest. I'm just throwing out the idea so if everyone wants New Years then that'd be fine I guess.
New Years sounds good to me.
