Well, its that time of year again.

The time of year we try yet again for a U3D Compo, which will ultimately fail.

Well, it will not fail this year. Why? What if I offer $100 as a prize? Think that would stir up any interest?

Post your ideas. I might even offer more. But if we do end up having a compo, only completed entries will be valid.

Here's an even better idea: let people use whatever language/engine/dev suite they want, that would definitely motivate more people to participate..

Yep, we will have to do that as well.

I was thinking something like newyears.

Anyway, what kind of theme should we have. I would like to do something RTS, maybe as simple as tower defence. We dont see a lot of indie RTS games.

You (the guys around here who usually tries to start competitions) are doing the exact same thing every year: You make a topic about a competition that you want to start while you have no clue what theme it is, the rules, who will be judging it or what you will be allowed to develop your games with, etc. I suggest you work out these things before you start such a topic or else you will end up with the same failed-to-start/finish competition every time. Get together a team and use PM or IM/Skype or whatever to work out the details or it will be the same confusion in one single competition thread all over again.

I resent that, i totally came up with a competition that didnt fail (nothing to do with making a game or whatever, but still). :P
Anyone remember the wallpaper comp? I had rules, guidlines. And such. Went pretty well.

Its not that I dont have ideas, its just I wanted the comunity to help decide on all these sorts of things.

However, I will try it your way this time. PMs will fly, and later today I will have rules, a theme, and such.

I forgot about that, sorry, but that particular contest was pretty simple to organize, just paint/model whatever you want and make it a wallpaper :) It doesn't have to get any more complicated than that really.

you said something about tower defence and RTS, and how there arent alot of indie rts's, well. Havent seen alot of tower defence indie games either. I think TD would make a find compition entry considering its not that hard to accomplish for anyone. So thats an option that everyone can enter in for this comp of yours. ^^
Just a suggestion, you here are the boss.

Edit: I re read the whole thing, i didnt see anything about rts's, hmm... i must be going crazy. Haha, unless im blind and missed that twice. xP

^Thats what your thinking of. :)

Tower Defense is just a simple RTS, so if you want to do a tower defense, that would be fine.

I am going to make this compo independent of U3D. I will be working on a site for it shortly.

Heres what I am looking at so far:

All models/textures/sounds must be made by the game creator. The engine is not important, but the code must be written from scratch. Example: No UDK drag and drop coding.

I will put up the first $100 of the prize, and allow other to donate to that amount for a bigger prize.

The compo is open to all countries. Payment will be done through Paypal.

I agree on TD.
Funny that i was working on a small TD project.
But i can't pay 100$.. that's the price of a graphics card.

I said donate to that amount. You don't have to donate $100. Even $5 would be fine.

Hey, if you enter and win, that's a new graphics card. :)

Haha, Bad ass. So if i do my own coding, I can use GM+U3D, GM+D3D, Unity, or whatever other crazy ass engine I want? This is good news indeed. Cuz im well versed in GMD3D, Not much of U3D but enough to do a TD, im kind of learning Unity but not really. Haha, good good! If that is the case i will throw down my best work. $100(or whatever the final prize is) Is very VERY awesome. I will work on it as soon as i can. But considering i've got 3 or 4 months to work on it, i dont think i will need to trouble myself too much. :D (Do i seem over enthusiastic? Haha.)
