NOVEMBER Tournament: Sports

[Zivouhr]

Ok so all my game needs now are sounds, a background and music... Hopefully it'll be out soon. xD

Okay, thanks. Just wondering what the MB limit would be to post it directly as a download on the forum itself, rather than link it to another site.

I guess it's best to link it to another site, unless your game is small and compressed... What do you mean as directly as a download in the forum? If it's the attachment file you said it already, 2 MB, so I'm honestly a bit confused... xD

Hi Jonathang. It's been awhile, but I tried uploading a game when I first began game editor and the forum said my game exceeded the 2 MB forum limit, declining to upload my game on the forum, so I had to export it to another site and link it. Understandable since the forum only has so much file space to work with and it's best to avoid allowing large file game downloads.

I was just wondering if in the Game Demo Forum Thread, if it lets games be at least 10 MB or so since that forum wants all the GE assets and files available. Graphics often put all of my games way past 2 MB but at least 10 MB would be something I could work with for small demos.

On topic: How are things progressing with the Sports Tournament? Good to hear Jonathang's game is nearing completion.
I'm busy on another big game already and other art projects, but otherwise would've entered if I had more time.

Yeah, its time for a little feedback.
I'm hurrying like a snail, and so is my progress...
The GE- and the codewise layouts are on their way, but no ged, yet.
All I can show at the moment is that "fake screeny" (oh, please, google it!):

Not hard to find out, this game will be about "footy", in a Tip-Kick like version.
But it also has something from Chess, Billard and Curling.
Since there is no computer player involved anymore, the game will just give you
the frame for your gameplay.
Ok, at least there will be a virtual referee, but you have to play.

@ jonathang :
You are doing it right, first bringing something to work, and than adding parts.
But tell me, when did you start your game ?
Was it before NoH did open the contest, or was it later ?

@ NoH :
And what is with you ?
Will you come up with your Pong, or with something different ?
In any case, thanks again for being so polite to expand the timeline !

The development thread for this game is here.


Cheers !

I think the 2 MB rule applies to all parts of the forum. I wish it does enable 10 MB or even more, but yes even pictures and sounds get pass 2 MB, so I think the only way to upload games or demos that exceed 2 MB is by exporting it to dropbox or any other site and link it...

That's okay, I wish you can join the next tournament.

I started the game about 4 days after the contest to be fair.

Hmmmm, I wonder if NoH forgot about the tournament again... And I'm not ungrateful or anything but I think it's best if we expand the timeline until 3 people submitted their games... Seriously, I have a feeling I'm doing the tournament alone again... :'( (I did a tournament alone once before.)

@ jonathang :
Sorry for being so lame, but its not due to the game.
I will see, how far I come 'til the 21st.

NoH wants the timeline as a helpful pressur, to get a project done.
But for such a small niche-community as we are, I also see more chances for
a working contest when the timeline was more dynamic.

While Zivouhr and you are discussing the 2 MB upload limit, things even become
worse.
Try to upload a simple screenshot of your game, and you will see...

Cheers !

P.s.: And, please, can anyone tell me the trick, to replace an url inside an XML-tag
with some text,like [url???text here ???]url[/url] ?
I've forgotten again...

Hi digiot,
see this BBcode tutorial/reference
And I do want to participate in the tournament but I think its too late. I started my game, dodge ball type game a week ago only and only the dodge system of computer players is almost complete [of no use till shooting system isn't created]. Yet I'll try my best to reach closer to an alpha release till the date(two days left only XD)

[digiot]

@ simranjit :
Thanks, so the other way around, hmmpf !

Concerning your participation, its never too late !
No one has put something out, the half of the contestants
will fail on timeline (me!).
And a third competitor would be appreciated !

Cheers !

[simranjit]

That was a quick reply!
I'll see if I can make a working version before the day after tomorrow.(will win if jonathang don't put his game hahaha)

[DeltaLeeds]

I've been busy yesterday and I'm using my phone now so sorry for the late replies and any typos...

@ jonathang :

First of all, you're not lame at all! You're a nice guy, and I'm very sorry that I forgot you were joining the contest... I thought I was in this alone

Try to upload a simple screenshot of your game, and you will see...

Cheers !

I'll upload a screenshot of the game once I get home, but NoH shouldn't really allow that to be uploaded here, I should make a topic about the game first or something. (Please confirm your presence, participation and the stuff I said NoH)

And I do want to participate in the tournament but I think its too late.)

As far as tourneys go, you may submit the game so far, it doesen't need to be done, the game sounds really interesting Sim, and the more the merrier! xD

No, its not NoH, there is a new 100kb limit introduced !!!
No̶̶w̶̶ ̶̶w̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶n̶̶l̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶c̶̶o̶̶u̶̶l̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶p̶̶o̶̶s̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶C6̶̶4̶̶ ̶̶p̶̶r̶̶o̶̶j̶̶e̶̶c̶̶t̶̶s̶̶ ̶̶!̶ Luckily not !

Cheers !

[DeltaLeeds]

Well, I'm sorry for being a bit late, but I released my game in here
Hopefully NoH or any judge comes along and rates our games...

[Zivouhr]

Nice to see these games progressing.

100 kb limit on the forum. That is a small limit to work with, I agree. What was the Atari 2600's limit? I forget, but it was in the kilobytes also.

[NightOfHorror]

It seems I forgot about this again....

Well, sorry about that guys.

[Zivouhr]

It seems I forgot about this again....

Well, sorry about that guys.

How is are your games developing Night of Horror?

[DeltaLeeds]

It seems I forgot about this again....

Well, sorry about that guys.

I could understand the business and life NoH, so it's okay.
Well, at least judge the games, at least we want the tourney to be over NoH.

[lcl]

If that's needed and if I you can give me some time, I could be a judge
