Sometimes it'll help your popularity to join the forums, other times it'll help just to stay away.

LOL :lol:

The judging elements? There's going to be a vote over who should be the four elected reviewers. There's going to be another vote to see what group of games will go to the four elected reviewers. The four elected reviewers will squabble amongst themselves over the best. There's four to hopefully prevent ties between them. Really, don't think about that now.

@Hanson
I added it here too :P Double warning.

 I meant what are we being judged on haha.
"The best" game is a bit vague.

Also, are we allowed to keep our textures in a compressed folder.

What does christmas have to do with procedural textures lol.
The reason that came up is to save space. The game limit is 5mb so making textures procedural is a good way to go.

 Oh, I would just use simple diffuse color and maybe add some specular lighting. Procedural textures sounds too complicated for me.

That's a good way, and probably the best way in my opinion.

Procedural textures is fun for some people though.

 I'm wondering, how you guys doing with your entries?

I just learned how to compose MIDI music in Fruity Loops. It's pretty cool how a 10 KiB file has a minute and a half of music. It has some really useful sound effects as well.

I didn't know you could apply effects to midi music.
Do you want TONS of free games? Gameboy, Gba, N64 and even sega genesis games, including mods for games and obscure games in your browser for free?

This is not an advertisement. Vizzed has all of this, AND MORE (including a FREE retro toons room!)

Oh, and here is how you can go to it: http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/

Again, this is completely free, so enjoy your stay.

Yeah. All those extra bytes in there...those are all used for reverb, modulate, and more. I still can't figure how to use them since I can't get MIDI playback inside Fruity Loops.

You have to assign an individual MIDI instrument from a sound font to each individual track. So, you have to take the Microsoft soundfont or find your own, and then assign an instrument to that track. You can mix and match soundfonts, too. :P

 Oh, so it works just like a regular mapper, then, right? Kinda how one would map an effect like the limiter to a MIDI control?

(though i have no idea why one would do that)

Ahh ha ha ha got it working. In the midi, you gotta set the port channel. In the mixer, you create one of those soundfont thingies and set the import channel to the port channel you set and USUALLY it'll do the rest for you, automatically choosing the MIDI sound.
