Competition??

[birdofprey]

I remember recently seeing a GP32 competition that didn't necessarily require any coding knowledge. They accepted GPcinema encoded shorts or animations as well as games or mp3's that have been mixed. Can anyone tell me the site that had this compo?

I only ask because i have created a stick man animation thing I put on my GP32 for gpcinema and wanted to enter it!

Thanks

I think you are talking bout Mark's GPM Competition

The site is HERE

 

[Mark]

Yup, that's right Can anyone who is entering please either post here or PM me? You don't have to say what you are working on. Just to see who's taking part.

Possibly a campaign for GpFinalWar... Depends on the deadline :unsure:

 

[Mark]

I think I better set a deadline

Okay, all entires must be in by the 1st July 2004. Please do not email me the entires yet though; I don't have enough email space. However if you can upload them somewhere then please feel free to send me the link, or over MSN. PM for my MSN email address.

Again, prize's will depend on the amount of entries, but there will most likely be a smiluar set up to the Tomak compo. (Game or something for 1st place, 2nd and 3rd places get Mileages) and maybe a few suprise prizes too.

You can expect something from me, most likely a video as I'm stupid and can't do anything else.

 

[Mark]

Great stuff. The Compo page has had a slight update.

Oh, and please TRY to keep the entries at less than 5MB then zipped, although if it's bigger don't worry. I'm on broadband it's just uploading them that will be the problem.

I'll probably be submitting a slightly updated version of my Goldeneye Doom 2 wad, and possibly a Zot! game.

 

[birdofprey]

I will be converting one of my stick man animations to a file that can be played with gpcinema

(got this from the compo site)

Entries that HAVE ANYTHING to do with Animal Crossing will be given ABSOLUTE preference

Is there any game like animal crossing or the sims on the gp32? did i miss something? it would be really cool if there was. i enjoyed playing games like that. animal crossing is a fav of mine.

maybe the person who wrote that is encouraging it. lets hope someone comes up with one

Unfortuantly no, nothing like is that really is playable on the GP, with the closest being Harvest Moon on the SNES (which really is different)

And I did say that to encourage an Animal Crossing type game, yes

 

[mattmagoo]

So if i were to make an Animal Crossing game in Gigas

That would actually b quite easy

 

[the_Diabologic]

heya, i'll be entering the compo with Diabolic Pong For GP32, mwahaha

btw, is it allowed to enter more than one entries?
if yes, then what would happen if one is rated 1st prize and one's rated 2nd prize?
would the author get 1st prize, 2nd prize or both? ^^

if it's allowed to enter with 2 or more things i'll code a little tech-demo involving 3d-stuff while running as slow as possible

 

[mattmagoo]

Dont worry n e way, Its Mark, there probs only 2 prize anyway, and it wont be on the same scale as GBAX, but hopefully his fish out a decent prize

 

[Mark]

Yup you can enter as many times as you want I'd reward just one prize though

And I really doubt that ANYONE could ever make a Animal Crossing Game in Giga's. It's simply impossible

 

[mattmagoo]

tis not, if i could find any decent screen shot from Animal Island i could rip em, the only trouble would be collecting thing, but I think it could be done, obviously random thing like plants growning and the Police station wouldnt work, but it could be more misiion based

U could use the n64 rom to rip them?

Fair enough, but you coudn't have....

Time events, which are a crucial part of the game as the GP has no internal clock.
Digging, planting trees etc.
Different items in the shop every day.
Letter writing.
Talking to animals that send you on a random errand, or give you helpful hints.
Letters from your mom.

And alot more....

Else I already would have made one

helpful hits and tree planting is possible

it wud be a cross between Harvest Moon and Animal crossing, but since both are excellent games it wud b good imo
