Hmm, just to be clear, is using Construct a requirement for entering this contest?

yes

I really don't know where I'll get the time to do this, but I'm in. I guess Brain Zap will have to wait until the next month.

I am so getting in on this
Is there an age requirement, and does the game have to be a brand new concept? (I have an unfinished game that I'd love to make with this program for the contest)

It's a BUILD & WIN CONSTRUCT 2 contest -- where the only requirement is that you use the free edition of Construct 2 to make it.

That's the ONLY real rule here!

You can't have started PRODUCTION in the engine before today.

Otherwise, you are 100% free to use whatever resources you like, whatever ideas, whatever. It doesn't matter. Go crazy. Make a game.

Any type: Platformer. RPG. Puzzler. Racing romance game that rotates and spins for some reason. DOESN'T MATTER ONE LICK.

Just make it WITH LOVE, and advertise the heck out of it.

I'm in!

Last minute contribution to the prize pool!

The 1st prize is now $300, and the 2nd prize is now $150.

Wow I've never even heard of this program!
I don't think I have a chance at winning this but I'm definitely trying out this software, if I feel like I can create something decent I might just join in on this anyway!

Good luck to everyone~

Wow... I download the Free Trial... Follow the tutorial...

Went to Test play... I can't because my browser isn't
the most up to date.

Looks for way to update... I need the Newest version of Windows.

Looks Like I can't even compete unless I buy a NEW Computer.

(My comp doesn't like Windows 7)

what that makes no sense unless you are using something totally out of date. Download chrome and use that as a browser.

also seems to play nice with firefox.

I tried... My Computer doesn't even WORK with those...

You can run firefox 10 on as old as win2k.

HOLY SHIT YES.

Check out scirra's arcade to see the different things people have already done using construct:

What are you running?

Also if you're still using windows explorer as your default browser that may be the problem as the test play option will attempt to open up the html5 file in your defaulted browser.

One question: I must make full game, or it can be only a demo?

Even though the game may be as long or as short as you wish, I'm sure you would be required to actually have an ending to the game, or some kind of objective to it that causes you to 'win,' if that makes any sense. Or do you already have a game? If that's the case then your current demo or whatever wouldn't be eligible for entry. I assume the game must have some sort of end objective, either save the princess, shoot all the aliens, collect all the coins, etc. Anything less would be a statement that you couldn't meet the deadline in time.

Slap me if I'm wrong, or misunderstood the question.

You can always compete for my contest. :)

Smashdaddy you aren't wrong at all. Think of a complete product as something that has at least met near term goals in the game. So maybe you plan a big platformer with 32 levels, and you churn out four or even two. That's fine. You have playable units that has a beginning, middle, and end. The shorter the game is the more likely it won't win, since it prolly won't have as much content as other people's games. But if it's polished you may still catch one of the runner up prizes.

Even if you don't win you may have something to share with your friends on facebook.

Very cool! I'm definitely excited about this. I have a lot of time off work this week, so I should be able to get a big start on my project by the end of the week. This is an excellent way to expand HBG and get the community to be more active.


Two questions:

Why is this not all over the main page?


I think you're missing a "Neither" at the beginning?

I think the portal page ignores announcements.

All fixed now.

I'm in!

On a sidenote: I've been thinking about using Construct for a new project anyway, but does anyone know how Construct2 and Phonegap work together to get construct games released on mobile platforms?

Gravija this thread may be a good start at getting all the information you need:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/phonegap-ap ... page1.html

There is lots of good information and some of the same questions you have been asked and answered in it.

I'm giving you guys a head start. To clear my conscious. The last contest I won on a technicality. Because like no one submitted anything. I was using software that was brand new to me then. I only submitted something because of pride. I said I would enter and I did. But it was too easy, and my stupid pride made me turn down the first place gift card and ask for private subforum (that I never use) instead. I DON'T WANT TO FEEL BAD FOR WINNING EVER AGAIN. Cause when I get home on monday IT IS ON! I am going to EARN my prize this time. No weaksauce finish.
