Started 'ABC Blast' last week so I hope I qualify. I will try to make the 21st as it will be nice to be in the contest, but quality first. When I send it to Apple, it needs to be perfect.
I've changed the title of my app to Pearl's Adventures (or Pearl's Journey), I just don't know how to change my thread title... here's the link: http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=17351
It would be great if more people joined the competition!!! Come on, how long will it really take you. If me and a few other people are the only ones in it, then why is it called a competition... COME ON PEOPLE, CREATE AN APP AND PUT IT IN THE COMPETITION, AND WIN A FEW PRIZES WHILE YOUR AT IT!!!
stormystudio said: Just posting to say, I've had confirmation from YodaPollo that he will be the guest judge for the contest.
(I'll not actually put my game in the running, since I setup the competition...so it looks likes its between 3 of you at the moment...anything from Prodigo, Forklift, Eightbit Remix, RH, Dr Glickert, anyone else?)...
Big thank you to the two current front runners, Riffel and CBT for their games...there's still 5 days to go if anyone else wants to join in.
It may only be a small number of us this time, but if its helped give a bit of enthusiasm to get a game made then it was worth starting the contest. Next time there will be a bit of warning and a theme announced on day 1.
Hopefully we will have 5 or 6 contestants games submitted by the 21st. Ready for judging by YodaPollo.
I've enjoyed watching the progress of these games immensely. Even though I didn't participate this time, I'd love to see more and more of these competitions.
I'm sorry stormystudio, I finished all of the programming of my game, but my artist did not have enough time to finish the artwork... Again, I'm really sorry, because I was so sure that I would get it done on time. However, even though I couldn't get it done for the competition, I will still try to get it done and out really soon. So far it looks really neat, even without the artwork... (ex: the story is about my sister's adoption from China, so I have her travel through a New Year's parade, which always has a dragon in it... well, I was able to make each of the joints separated and then I moved each of them in a sin curve!! It looks really neat...). I should have it done within a few weeks, because my artist is about half way done with the artwork. Both of the current contender's games look really neat though and I'm glad that they were able to finish... sorry again, I let the GS community down
No worries Oberning, sounds like the game is coming along well anyway. And the main point of this competition is get people working on games and give you some extra enthusiasm. I'll look forward to seeing the finished result.
Unless something amazing happens I wont be finished my game on time either. I've lost the last two days looking after my daughter (13 months Old) who has been a bit under the weather, so not actually had much sleep (I think I got 3 hours last night). Excuses, excuses I know...Also dont want to publish a non-finished game. Though I will definitely complete the game, just might take a wee while longer... :-)
Anyone else going to get a game published/finished tomorrow?
stormy, thanks so much for the kind words. I too had many distractions, looking after my little sister and school, and just like you I also only got a few hours of sleep a night. I hope to finish it ASAP and I will give you a promo once I release it. It makes me sad that I didn't finish it.... oh well I guess. Like I said in my last post, both Riffel and CBT have amazing games and I wish the best of luck to them.. I'll keep you updated with my game...
Well at the moment it looks like its just Riffel and CBT who have got entries completed for the contest...
Not that I could enter (because I created the contest) but I've not managed to finished my game 'escape artist' in the 2 weeks. Family duties and a sick 1 year old have put pay to any last minute work to get it done in time.
Only a handful of hours left till the contest closes. Then I'll start chasing Yodapollo to judge... shouldn't take him too long if we only have two entries...
hey guys .. just wanted to say that I think this is a great event and thanks stormy for organizing it. Although right off I knew I couldn't join this round I have been watching the progress and it has been interesting and inspiring. I would expect that applies to quite a few others here so the effort is worth it imo.
I hope there are future contests and will plan to participate. Looking forward to seeing the end results from this.

I may not go online again by 21st. I have a lot coming on day after tomorrow.
Looking forward to see your entries too!
And AppChogie, I hope you won't make it to the deadline! One less competitor!
