I definitely want to participate, but could I submit WalrusAdventure? It might help me finish it If not, I'm sure I could make something up.

Have you released any code?

Well, yeah

And DJ, I think I'll just make some weird arcade-like game.

It doesn't have to be very complex. Just see the 4x3 contest. Lots of games were mega simple, even for 4x3 standards, yet still fun to play.

u/alexgt December 10, 2015, 02:46:18 PM

Yeah, I am not going with simple I may regret that

I'll try to do something almost like an endless runner...only it's an endless FLIER! This will be inspired by (but not an exact clone at all of) a mobile game I vaguely remember playing last year. I just hope I can get everything I want done in time.

If you guys don't mind that Linux entries are judged by a different judges, potentially skewing the results a bit (eg some people might use 6/10 for good graphics and others will use 8/10 for the same quality of graphics), then yes Linux support can be added

The reason why Linux was not added is because I, the judge, knows zero thing about Linux, let alone have it installed anywhere. Only platforms I own were added. But if you don't mind seeing Linux entries judged by someone else then you can use Linux now.

OS X is ruled out until further notice because none of the CW staff might have access to a non-broken Mac computer on January 20th . we need to ensure that @Ivoah is interested to judge OS X entries

I can judge linux and OS X entries

Sounds cool, kinda like super walrii land?

SWL was more like Mario overall. His idea is more like Rainbow Dash Attack, I assume.

Good luck btw!

Sky...Narwhal.

...

...yeah. Sky Narwhal. That's it.

u/alexgt December 10, 2015, 10:06:08 PM

But narwhals are different from walruses

Narwhal-rii, how about that?

u/alexgt December 10, 2015, 10:28:22 PM

Lol, I was just kidding but that flows pretty well. We should make a Narwalrii

Is distribution by means of testing allowed (like sending it to a friend), I might want to do some networking for some part to be not entirely impractical.

u/alexgt December 11, 2015, 04:33:31 AM

I think so as long as they do not release it. But I am not in charge

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 11, 2015, 04:45:21 AM

THis is an high risk to take. You cannot publicly release source code and if you get help from someone else without us knowing then the person who helps is penalized since he won't get the prize if you win. And just giving a copy of the game to a friend is a big risk if the friend isn't trustworthy, since he could either release it and claim the work as his own, or he could release it publicly, disqualifying that entry in the process. So it's best to be careful.
