Hi there folks,
Please only post entries here to keep the thread clean - comments on the entries can be posted here… http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=157543
Now that 2.49 is out, this is an official announcement to post your entries here before or on next Monday, the 8th of June. This gives just over a week, and allows for the weekend for developers to give their entries a final polish etc.
UPDATE: Here is a link showing the initial entries ( game names, screenshots, some early working demos ) that were submitted for the competition - http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1315416
Your entry can use any version of Blender above 2.48a, including 2.49 and any SVN versions ( eg if you need the latest fix in SVN, which will become Blender 2.49a in a few weeks ).
You can post executables, or the .blend file(s). If posting .blend files, please specify the version of Blender that is required / preferred. If posting executables, please specify the platform(s) ( Windows / OSX / Linux )
Please post at least the following, in order to allow viewers to get an idea of the game in order to encourage them to download and play your game.
- Game Title
- Competition Category / Categories to be entered for
- A brief game description
- Team / Single developer info
- Screenshots
- Whether the game requires GLSL or not ( so that people without GLSL compatible hardware will know not to vote on it, as they won’t see the required visuals / may see graphical glitches )
- A download link to the game itself
Optional…
- Video(s) of the game in progress ( if you want, you can state that the video can be used on the main blender.org website as promotion material for the GE - see http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/ ) - UPDATE - If you could make sure that you post the videos on YouTube, they would be viewable on all platforms. If possible, keep the original high-res version just in case your video is selected for showing directly on the Blender.org Showcase website section ( thx Erwin )
- Any other stuff you want to post that is relevant to your competition entry.
Many people could be seeing your game for the first time, so make the info in the post as attractive as possible
That’s about it - good luck to all of the entrants!

Regarding judging… when all of the entrants are in, we’ll have a community poll vote, and also a small handful of judges drawn from GE source code developers and related, eg some from the Yo Frankie team ( eg Campbell, Ben… ). Judging will be a split between these judges and the community vote. More detailed information will be posted after Monday the 8th of June.
