POG1 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I found a game creation competition and it seems interesting and there is a lot of prizes for the winner. I'm not gonna be entering the comp, just thought i'd show. :) http://www.bbgamezone.com/contest.php Quote
mdshare Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Re: PBBG Contest Yea zeggy contacted me about it as about his game engine Quote
Zeggy Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Re: PBBG Contest Ummm, the game engine was a separate topic from the contest, but I figured I'd just put it all in one message. I hope there wasn't any misunderstanding :) Quote
Dylan Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Re: PBBG Contest is their a specific game engine? or can I use my V2 Quote
Silver Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Re: PBBG Contest is their a specific game engine? or can I use my V2 i don't think it matters what game engine you use, as long as the game is browser based...and fun! Quote
Zeggy Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Re: PBBG Contest Umm, you cannot use any pre-made scripts or game engines. I don't think that's explicitly stated in the rules, but it is a developer contest. Using a script or game engine takes a lot of work out of it. Since this is the first contest and I forgot to mention that rule, you can go ahead and use a game engine, but I'll warn you, the judges are looking for something that is also unique. So you should probably try to modify the game so much that you can't really tell it's made from a game engine :P Quote
oxidati0n Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Re: PBBG Contest So, what's the actual benefits for this? Someone creates the winning engine, and you keep it. What's those rewards actually valuate to the developer? It's actually a contest that has a concept which is ludicrously unprofessional. I don't think thats good. Quote

The judges only play the game and I don't think it requires the codes to be handed over. The prizes are all ones which would benefit a game (intentionally for the game you developed for the contest) by hopefully bringing more players from advertising and reviews. Quote

There is absolutely no mention on an 'engine'. It's best if you code stuff yourself (or get somebody to code it for you). I don't keep anything. You don't have to make anything open source, hand over any code, turn over control of your game or anything of the sort. There are prizes involved. Lots of them, sure to benefit your new game plenty. Please read next time :) Quote
