I'm really surprised, it seems this contest has no effect in gp32x community I think the prizes are very good.

I expect that there is a lot more interest than there appears. People are probably playing their cards close to their chest... I was, but I've let the cat out of the bag now

 

[Gammenon]

Few moments ago total prize amount has reached 2000 € (currently 2005)!

The Pandora Angst compo was the first coding compo I've taken place in. Considering how bad that's gone, definitely not.

Judging is a little slow (nearly as long so far to judge as it was to create the actual games), but I wouldn't say it's "gone bad" - or has something happened?

Don't panic, I plan to start GBAX2010 in may.

Nothing bad has happened as far as I'm aware. It just started as a bit of fun and got way more time consuming (and taken way more seriously) than anyone expected, I think. Iorgy77 is a long standing community member and EvilDragon is holding the prize pool, so there's nothing for anyone to worry about. Something something two months.

Are you cheating on the Pandora with the Wiz?

 

[gruso]

They're just friends.

I thought it would be good for me to get involved in a compo. 1. It gives me a reason to keep coding. 2. I thought I might get some useful criticism or at least some feedback. 3. I thought it would "set the bar". By that I mean I can see how I compare to other coders, and where I can improve. Now I've waited and waited and waited and its been so long I don't even really remember what my game even looked like (not really but you get the idea) I don't know how useful the criticism would be.

It sounds weird but I guess I'm just desperate for some kind of interaction. Typically having to do with code. One month turnaround time for this kind of interaction is just very disappointing.
