Very nice! Waiting for the demo! :)

[Big C.]

yes... i'm hippeling to play a ready version... looks very good...  ;D

[Green7]

thx guys! ;D
I 'd like to give you a beta-demo, but i got only a learning edition from PBA, so i only could do this by giving away teh codez...
don't take it as an offence if i would not do so before the compo ends. but i think about it, if it reaches a state of a nearly completion.

[Green7]

update on thread 1. ;)

[slayer93]

Looking cool...

Darn I haven't had time to work on mine and the deadline is so close.

[monkeybot]

yeah me too no time..sigh!

 We'll be lucky to get enough entries at this rate :)

We'll be lucky to get enough entries at this rate

What if there are not enough entries?
Its a shame, i seldom had such fun in working on a project like this time. back to oldscool FTW! ;)
I was nearly 4 weeks off in between, had some other weeks where i was too tired for coding, cause real life is entertaining (got 2 kids and a fulltime job as steel building designer), but i got at last a shade of a game. so there should be more entries, with far better chances! thanks to tommy, hope he gets his project done, so at last there is somewhat a feeling of a compo...
all others that too work on a project entry, please register to the forum and post your work! this forum needs some vital signs from new folks, at last in this corner here! 

[kevin]

What if there are not enough entries?

     In order to have any form of legitimate competition there really needs to be three entries at least.   I've heard of various other tidbits in the works (games not mentioned here), which is same as other years really.  However, if previous years are anything to go by, we'll be lucky to see one of these make the dead line. 

[thaaks]

So now that there are at least 3 entries in the compo - may the best one win (and the others too  ;))!

Looking forward to play your game, it looks really great!

Cheers,
Tommy

[Green7]

thx, tommy, but yours looking good too, even better , i think. i should have used antialiased sprites, alpha channel stuff. but, on the other hand, i wanted to look it retro, so it is maybe better this way. who knows. ;)
Im lookin forward to play your entry too, its always good to test some games.

[slayer93]

Nice job on your game Green7 can't wait to try it out :)

In order to have any form of legitimate competition there really needs to be three entries at least.

So if there wasn't three entries then the competition would be canceled, good thing I entered then as I was contemplating on whether I should enter it :P

[Green7]

yeah, slayer, im glad you entered your game, really. it would have been a sad thing if there where not enough entries.
id' like to play your game too, and i'm interrested in how it is done. learning new stuff, i hope. ;)

So if there wasn't three entries then the competition would be canceled, good thing I entered then as I was contemplating on whether I should enter it

       I'd be very reluctant to cancel to it,  I would certainly understand any sponsors wanting to withdraw support.
