    Some of them have to sped time to change controls for their games...

    Shadows Peak is an atmospheric psychological horror that explores the dark side of a player.

    yeah! +1;)

    but you can copy html5 of the site? (or is it encrypted (like php)?)
  • GnomerGnomer Member Posts: 292
    yeh i can give that a go :)

    Isn't the html5 only iphone landscape though?
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    @ dreamlab.... very true.... so if your game does not meet the GameSalad arcade needs a video will be fine...

    Im glad mine does! haah. I was just curious. But it also might be hard if it uses the accelerometer, multitouch, ect. ect.

    Very good idea though. Makes it easy to actually play the games.

    haha mine is also landscape hehehehe:P

    Must we ?
    Because then i will have to re-size my project (im doing iPad size)
  • CrazybreadmanCrazybreadman Member Posts: 674
    I think that's a great idea... but unfortunately I'm building for iPad resolution. In cases like mine, I could still publish for Mac desktop and send to the judges right? I think actually playing the game is 10x better than a video.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    I think its a great idea for the judges to play the game entries. It really helps them get a feel for the whole entire game and to see if it is really worth something. Rather then just a 2 min video showing the best parts.

    Those who have iphone size can post to arcade, and those who are making iPad or Mac games can send their game files to stormy for judges.

    I don't think we have to worry about the judges stealing anything. They are the most respected group in the community and we voted for them....

    Idk about anyone else, but I still wouldn't feel very comfortable handing out my game project.

    Everyone,

    Can't we just get all of the judges UDIDs and send them our project as an ".app" and with a provisioning profile?

    That way they all can play on their devices. And members like DreamLab can be comfortable..
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    There is a solution to everything.

    @cbt Good Job, I totally forgot about ad hocs... Dilemma solved.

  • JamieOneilJamieOneil Member Posts: 877
    If judges are willing, then ad hoc.
    Otherwise i wouldn't mind giving the gs project to judges.
    I think we can trust them :)

    only if you feel like screwing around with http://gsa0.gamesalad.com/05ef0515-f3d7-427f-8abc-718bd079216a/object.json & whatnot

    big pain if you ask me
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    ok so submissions can be:

    -a video showing gameplay ( One of the simplest options for the judges to review your games)
    -a html 5 gamesalad arcade version (if your game is compatible)
    -adhoc versions (though I don't know if all judges will have ipads... plus they will need to hand out their UDID's)
    - A gamesalad project file if you're happy handing them out to the judges.

    -?

    Thanks

    Well this isn't too good (for me at least). Im designing mine for mac and I think the ones that submit a html 5 gamesalad arcade version will have an advantage over the others :(
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    at artsonskyble....I don't think it will make a real difference a video showing gameplay will be judged on the same scoring system...

    ......Adhoc on a mac app??
    I'm not sure how adhoc versions work for the mac? (do they even exist)
  • kapserkapser Member Posts: 458
    It's hard to judge fun factor and replayability from a video.

    I think if someone have an advantage it's those showing only a video. They can focus on their coolest level and stuff.

    Look at Ubisoft games. Their trailers are always incredible, but when it comes to actually playing the game they sucks.

    I would prefer to still have a video for all of them as the main way of judging. I'm not sure how much time all of the judges can devote to playing 30+ games as much as we would like to.

    Not against playing some of them but I think All should have a video.

    If there are some video submissions and some demo submissions, everything starts to get messy and disorganized. I think there needs to be just one way to submit your entry, to keep it fair for everyone.

    If you would make a requirement that it must be uploaded to gamesalad arcade for judging then I wouldn't mind redesigning it for the iphone, but as of right now there are several ways to submit so I really don't know what to do.
  • scitunesscitunes Member, Sous Chef Posts: 4,047
    @arton - You can build a mac desktop app that is not for the mac appstore. It just runs on any mac without any special "Adhoc" or anything. You'll just need to send it in an email to the judges or host it on your own site and give us a link to DL it. We will then have access to the app and not the gs project so there is no security risk either.

    Change rules after contest was started is a mistake.
    My 2 cents

    ok, lets ignore the GameSalad arcade option...final submissions are for a video with some words on why our game is 'Outside of the box'...

    Cool...

    case closed...

    We can do GameSalad arcade next time perhaps..
