Dan Loosen from GOAT Store has announced a new game coding competition called the Games Of All Type Contest, here’s what Dan had to say about the comp in this forum topic:
“People submitting games will be asked to make a short arcade-type game. These games must not be direct ports of existing games, and must not include any copyright material. All gameplay must be altered from the original releases.
The final disc will include an intro screen and menu featuring a high scores table for all of the games programmed by Dan Potter of Cryptic Allusion, LLC. Many different games will be included on the final disk.
The winning entries may either win $40.00 and two copies of the finished compilition disk if they do not release the game as freeware, or $20.00 and one copy of the finished compilition disk if they do. Homebrew projects that have already been made and released are eligible to be included, but may have to be modified slightly to utilize the high score feature. Developers may enter more than one game.
The contest entries will be judged by Dan Loosen and Gary Heil of GOAT Store Publishing. The final number of games on the compilition disk will be determined based on the number of differing entries we have received.
The contest will run until August 31st, or until 20 winning games have been submitted, whichever comes first.“
Check out the aforementioned topic if you have any questions & if you would like to see some examples of the game styles that goatdan has suggested could be used. I’ll add a link to the GOAT Store contest page when it’s up.
