JBROW'S PROFILE

Yes there's several ways to make a cutscene... through programming in game events/npcs or through displaying a recorded video...

I am almost through, and also kinda new...

Can some one find the kindness in their hearts to explain submission procedure?
It is not specifically outlined in the initial contest rules...

Thanks! And good luck, all!

Also, are we going to get to see the entries of others, or winning entries, after the contest closes?

I would LOVE to get a peek at what others have produced other than the screen grabs and tidbits here :)

Just curious... haven't seen any limitations on the length of the game in the details... is there a guideline here, or is it anything goes?

How long are other peoples' adventures... and what of side missions and extras - I am curious how much of this will be figured in? Just how are judges looking at the games, and what criteria are they using?

Being my third go at making a game with this software, I am not sure of how much a chance I stand, but I am wondering if all my time working in plot and sub-plot are worthwhile, seeing the style that some people are going for (using pictures when people are talking and all that jazz... stuff that I don't have, without access to graphics software/RTP files from the full length version or a previous version of the real deal).

ALSO, I was under the impression that using 'common events' AT ALL was out of the scope of the rules, even though they could be called through items (and skills) in the lite version....?

Yeah, I am looking to use the pre-set maps and stuff included in the editor database to save time drawing maps and all... just the pre-fab weapon/armor set is ...lacking?

The spirit of the contest seems to be to use the lite version to the utmost, so I will probably just go for what's there to avoid any terrible disqualification....

Better quit before I give out anymore ideas :)

Oh, and thanks!

A question - can it be absolutely certain that previously created games are not used...? I have two that I have created since downloading Ace Lite a month or so ago, and I have started a third just recently... how much of the framework for my game engine is legitimately convertable...? Can I take my meticulously crafted armor and weapons listing over into the contest entry? Can I just throw the rest of my current game together and submit that?

Again, my question is can I use my previously developed data, and if so, to what extent? I would be developing on my own...

Thanks for reply in advance (FIRST POST EVAR... WOW!!)
