it's all based on characters and settings from Bob Dylan songs so

I was thinkin' of inserting some environmental crap in my project where the aliens on the underground were once like us that lost their planet.

Explaining it further, there's an underground world accessible through a historical site. Actually, the underground world was a synthetic Earth (think of Tokyo Underground, and/or the Neo Ark in Parasite Eve 2). The DESU! (superheroes) get in to investigate. At first few floors, they went to sewers, then to a cavern, and then some hints of alien civilization and finally, the underground world itself.

Would that breach the Underground theme?

Erm...
Is it Underground?

also:

Two questions. Am I allowed to work for two teams? And is each category going to be judged only the games within that category, or will all the games will be judged in the same category?

I am doing it d:o

Soph motivated me so treat him nice tonight~

The theme is really interesting. I got an idea but I don't know if the execution of it will work was well as it is in my head. Will see whether I have time to do this or not :)

That's enough you guys. >:(

(do it do it do it do it do it)

Yay imma join this contest :)

Especially because the game doesn't have to be that long :D

I'm not sure yet which of the themes I'll take...

Good luck other contestants :)

Hmmm. This sounds interesting. I like the idea of a giant world. :3 I think I'll see what I can come up with.

you can work for however many teams you want. people running the contest and staff of the forum have no say or judgment about what teams you're a part of or what cut you get. but i wouldn't recommend you be a team leader of either of them.

all games will be judged on the same level at the same time by the same judges. the themes are only there to pique your creativity and ensure you're working on something new (i.e. not started before the contest's beginning).

Ok, thanks. (My current team leader seems idle and if he's blowing this off, then I don't wanna get stuck in the same bout as him >.>)

Actually, I think I'm the only one doing all three themes :P

Which game making engines are allowed?

any and all.

two months hey? Better get started, I'm really not very good at this but it'll be nice to see how many points I get, if they tell me! just a little confused about the cog and and 'rec room' Am I just suppose to throw it in there? Like in the middle of a game there's just some out of place looking ghost, I mean a sign saying Rec room could work but still, I don't understand that though, why rec room?

Also, will i lose points if I use the default resources? Because it would be a big help if I didn't! Ill use default and change them if I have time!

I think there are ways to integrate them smartly. For the ghost, it could be the icon for a quest item, for example. I guess?

Oh yeah, good idea!!

Rec Room is the name of one of our forums, and along with the cog and the ghost, they're ways of not only seeing how creative you can get with them, but to make sure you haven't started the project before the contest began!

You're not going to lose points for using default resources but it's obviously easier to merit more points the more original resources you use. The whole point of the contest is to encourage you to get creative and have some fun, so don't be afraid to try and create your own resources!

Well I HAVE made a start on this, but not sure if I'll be able to finish it, since my tutors are gonna' be bombarding me wit four new assignments after half term (In two weeks...), so the chances of me finishing this are REALLY slim...

I have midterms right until the end of October but I might be able to pull something out regardless. might be incomplete and full of placeholder rips, though.

but chock-full of that mawkish charm

Thanks, I think I've got it sorted but having to include them makes me take the whole storyline less seriously, I guess I'm gonna' have to try to make it funny!

Yessir, You can bet I'm entering this! It's time to get off my ass and try to actually fully create a game. And with $150 on the line, it'll be really easy to get help. Question, will I be able to use 2 of the 3 themes? Underground and Music are the ones I'm aiming for.

you can use however many themes you want, so long as they're there, and we can tell what theme(s) you're using.
