you are almost right

I have news as well..

I will take part to this tournament! I've intended to do that on some previous tournaments as well, but have never succeeded in coming up with an idea good enough to keep me working.
But this time I already have a good idea, and a game engine I can base my game on, and I've already worked on the game half of the day, so this time I'm really doing this!

And I'm very excited... as you may have noticed.

these aren't good news
with you as a contestant it will be harder for us

lol, glad to hear. 16 days to complete games. I think you all have plenty of time.

16 days... I'll have to work very hard. And the fact that my next weekend is almost full already doesn't make this any easier. XD
But this'll be a nice challenge anyway! Good luck for all the fellow contestants! ^_^

This looks interesting how does it work? you make a game within a certain time & try to make it a super game?

You just try to make a game in a certain time that fits within the deadline, and then the judges judge all the games, and pick winners.

yeah,and my game is harder than what i thought

I am kind of happy to hear that, as I know one of the entries last year last got game play deductions because it was too easy.

no,i wanted to say that the game is harder to code than what i thought
but today i did some changes and i solved some problems

I have some questions about the rules.

1) "The deadline is the 11:59:59 of January 21st"
That is 11:59:59 PM, right?

2) Does the deadline mean that my game will have to be uploaded and linked to GE forum
exactly at that time? My internet connection is _very_ slow so I may have to consider the uploading time
for getting my game here within the deadline

Well, games can be uploaded earlier, as you all know, but lcl, if someone has to upload it a little late because of problems such as that, then just message or notify me before hand and I will allow you to as I don't someone's internet to cost them the tournament.

I just wanted to comment to not only remind people of this tournament, but to also check on the progress of this since today is the 11th with 11 days left counting today as it just started, and I just like having an idea of where this is going as of now.
