LostUser	2BeeGames have started acception submissions for our 2nd Indie Games Competition. Hurry as you only have until September 15 to get your games in! Top Prize is $10,000 and a publishing deal! Community favorite wins $5,000! Link: https://www.2beegames.com/blog/taking-submissions-for-indie-games-competition-2- I think Jayenkai should submit his stuff, they are always amazing stuff.

Jayenkai	"and a publishing deal!" was what put me off the last time. That'd be nice, and all, but I'd imagine it'd take away from AGameAWeek! \|moan\| Note that this was already in the shoutbox, it probably should've been a link, and Phoenix could also have edited the frontpage's "Wed Workshop" thing to put the compo back to where it was the last time. \|moan\| -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Afr0	O_O I didn't enter this last year, I should probably enter this year! And I actually thought of a story! If anyone is thinking of doing a game in XNA, I found an installer to install everything required by the game here. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Jayenkai	Swarmer, who initially decided to attempt AGameAWeek but managed only one game, entered the last one of these. His game Storm came in second.. or third.. damn, can't remember.. 2nd.. Check his blog here -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Afr0	Here's the story I cooked up so far; > Reveal 🔎 An eccentric millionaire and games collector who's grown tired of simply collecting games, has hired you, the world's best thief, to break into EA's offices and steal all their collective sourcecode within 24 hours, before the EA workers comes back to work! After hiding yourself in the lobby until dark, you must work yourself through lasers, thumbprint scanners and rabid biomech monkeys to make copies of all the sourcecode in time. Good luck! --v Comments and/or suggestions are welcome! Also, what genre would be best to implement this as? I'm thinking of going with a sidescrolling platformer.. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Phoenix	Sorry Jay, I actually contemplated editing the WW spot and adding the competition there, but I wasn't sure so I just dropped it into the shoutbox. If the publishing deal is putting you off, then I'm sure you can hire an AGameAWeek stand-in with the $10,000 you also get Afr0, I don't think XNA is allowed, considering this quote: We require a flash or downloadable demo so users can evaluate the games fairly. We may open up our website to XNA and other platforms in the future.

Afr0	Yeah I saw that, but the rules state the following: Games may run on PCs, MACs and/or web browsers. Games developed for PCs or MACs must have an automated install or uninstall routine if installation is necessary to play the Game. Games played via web browsers must run in the latest versions of both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and may use the latest versions of the Flash, Java, Director, Unity, and Virtools plug-ins, if desired. I think they only mean XNA games developed for the XBox. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

CodersRule	@Afro: Make it like the legend of zelda- the original games- top view, get to the edge of the screen and it scrolls.

Phoenix	I wonder why a game collector would break into EA's headquarters, though.

Afr0	Here's my entry so far (not done yet!) If you're unsure whether you have the latest DirectX and/or XNA Framework installed, download my professional grade MSI installer here! The installer leaves an uninstall option in the 'Add or Remove Programs' section of your Control Panel. For all you others, the cheapo, not so professional version is here! If you have any suggestions apart from sound (I'm still thinking about what sounds I might put in!), please let me know! -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

JL235	np, I was meant to post that info myself but completely forgot about it.

Jayenkai	I'm very very very very very disappointed by this. There's nothing worse than shifting deadlines. "DEAD"lines.. "DEAD!!!"lines. ffs. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Afr0	FFS Jay! I've been sick!

Jayenkai	Those who have rushed, and worked their hardest (you included) now get screwed over by those who took their time. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 15 Sep 2009, 12:25
Afr0	Well, even though I rushed, I'm still not entirely done. Because I've been sick. So I'm actually happy about this. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!
