The Rules: Create mini game in blender, concentrate your efforts in the
Game Play not so much in modeling or texturing(although I
think the better it looks the more people are gonna want to play
it).
Models and textures, and scripts do not have to be made by
you(but you can only use these if their creators allow you to do
so).
The mini game can be about anything, use your own judgment
in regards to violence, nudity and all that good stuff (I mean
There are children among us).
The blend File sizes can not go over 2 megabytes (but this is
open to suggestions) and you must pre-Pack the blend files.
compression of files is highly encouraged (Zip, etc..).
You will have 4 weeks to complete your Mini Game(this is open
to suggestions too).

And how do you know if people havent already been working on a project for ages…
I mean, what if i just append a character model, armature, and import some scrpts, and a level to a new .blend…
Then there is hardly any work…

-one way to combat this is to set a strong theme that contestants must follow. Unike a big game project a theme is a good idea for stimulus in a small game.
A Mini-Game is a Game which will be harder how longer You play. Like this old Game-Boxes where You can put a Coin in to Play. Or like some Flash-Games You can find in the Web. If You think your Game-Idea is funny enough that You need only one Level … ok, try it.
We can never be sure that all is made in the given Time. So we have to trust. I do! That’s why modelling an texturing are not a part of the this Contest. Having a good Idea and put it into an easy Gameplay is hard enough, not?

if people really want to cheat they will
if people want to be true to themselves they will
i mean it doesnt have to be a game contest this falls for a modeling or a texturing type of contest, i could have a library of textures and models and nobody would know about it unless they’re omniscient. right?
that’s something beyond my control.
but if you cheat your selling yourself short…
Yep, I will! It might not be as good as I expected, because me and my family are going to drive home. I am in the middle of California, and we have to drive to northern Oregon! So naturally, it will take twelve hours, which means I will have less time to make the game. %|
R2blend, the contest hasn’t officially started so you still got time ,
I’ve added you and Grimreaper to the list of participants,
Do you guys think 2 weeks will be enough time though?
I mean i’ve never done a game in blender but it seems like it won’t be enough
time, I mean i’ve done a mini-game in Flash and just the testing part took
forever and that’s 2d , so i’m hoping more people give me their comments
about the time to complete the contest issue…
