Can someone submit more than one entries? (especially if each of them is for a different system?)

Porting something I did from an older system to another does it count? (Without substantial changes)

 

[Iorgy77]

Multiple entries are no problem at all.

Entering an unaltered port is no problem either but will probably not score highly with the judges.

i hope i can get a game finished till the end of march - my fulltime job is distracting me

i'm curious, who is working on something for this competition? and what? must not be too specific, just game/app/emu whatever

 

[Alex.]

I may enter a game, although time is always so sparse. Maybe I'll reserve 2:30-3:00am every night from now until March 28 for working on this, could be a fun experiment

I've just started on a game that should suit GP2X and Wiz.

Only the basic game mechanic is in so far, and some (depending on time, possibly not so) temporary graphics.

 

[glezmen]

i also started a game for PC and WIZ (based on an old NES/DOS game), i hope I can finish it in the next few weeks...
btw there's no reason it couldn't be compiled for older handhelds (GP2X, etc) but I can't try it. I will also release the sources, so you will be free to build it for several platforms

 

[Iorgy77]

A couple of more donations came in today bumping the prize pool over the $1000AUD mark. Truly remarkable effort.

I will be on holiday for the next two weeks in Thailand (spending the prize money on Thai lady boys) j/k

I'll try and monitor the contest email address and get back to you on any questions as quickly as possible. Hopefully the resort has wifi with strong enough range for my phone.

 

[Wootson]

If the people from Bombergames get their Streets of Rage Remake done in time, then we already have a winner. :lol:

I'm practically broke at the moment (harsh student life) but I'll take a look into donating a few coins as well. I also placed the competition banner on my personal website to generate some extra buzz.

Let's hope for some really awesome Wiz releases!

Shouldn't you be reserving that time slot for sleeping?

[crow_riot]

ha, i'm just about to finish the main parts. first i thought i couldn't get my entry finished in time, but now the schedule looks very well B)

 

[crow_riot]

is there somebody up for private beta testing? i'd need someone with a wiz soon (upcoming weekend i hope ).

how are the rules for the beta testers? i think/hope judges and other devs are not allowed?
