    Gonna have to put my project on hold because this contest is too cool to miss :)

    Thats the spirit... everyone stop what your doing and get ready for the best GameSalad competition since... the last one...

    JUDGES
    I'll email out the Theme to you guys at lunch (GMT) to get some feedback.

    I'm not even sure if I'd rather have pro, artist service or coffee ... all so awesome prizes.

    I think I will try to win the mug and the coffee, but I also saw some nice tshirts in Tshirt website. Hard to decide... :)

    If I manage to get most of my upcoming game done by the 18th, and depending on the theme, I would really like to participate.

    The theme will be announced at around 7.30am (GMT) on Saturday morning...

    (As that's when I'm likely to be up feeding my 16 month old daughter :-)

    NEW RULE - NO TEAMS ALLOWED

    Having chatted with all the judges via email... we've come to the conclusion we need a rule that says NO TEAMS are allowed. You can use stock images and sounds (paid and free) but not team up with other users. This is to stop any unfair advantage a team would obviously have over individual developers taking part.....

    Hope that all makes sense...

    Cheers

    I believe we have everything in place now...

    - A theme ready to announce
    - A truck load of prizes (divided up into prizes)
    - 10 respected GameSalad Judges
    - A scoring system for the voting process
    - A complete set of rules
    - A forum category section

    Just need to update the webpage on the 18th and create a new official TOTB3 forum thread (which will have the theme in it)...

    I hope lots of you take part...

    This is killing me! There should be an "accidental" early leak of the theme. :) Thanks for getting this all put together Stormy.
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    @Gamers... its very tempting.... of course if anyone wants a head start on the theme just wire $1,000,000 to my paypal account and I'll let you in on it a day early...

    Wooo i get home around the time the theme will be released. Looking forward to this, even if I dont win. This gives me a reason to finish something. And it turns out my work doesnt feel like 3 weeks off to make a game is a good idea so looks like im juggling work, school and this. Time to live off energy drinks.
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    @Weswog cheers for the review offering...I'll add that as a prize soon..

    Not long to go now...
