The Daily Click ::. Christmas Compo 2006 Alright ladies and gents, Shab here, bringing you the info for the TDC Xmas Compo 2006. We've got some great prizes this year, and we're hoping that this year's compo is at LEAST as successful as last year's was.
Definition 1 The game must take place on a grid. The character MUST be locked into a cell on the grid. If you want to make the grid movement smooth, that's fine, but the Characters MUST be locked into the grid (Think Old school Final Fantasy). Definition 2 The character always has to exist on a cell on the grid. You can either be on a cell or another cell, not between them. Every object also has to exist on the grid. Someone else asked about smooth transitions between grid spaces - those are obviously fine as long as you can't stop halfway. Examples: Zelda (1 for NES) does NOT count as a grid based game (For the purpose of this compo), as only the map was grid based; the movement was "free" (Not locked into the grid). Final Fantasy Adventure (GB) DOES count as a grid based game. Fallout DOES COUNT as a grid based game, as your character was locked into "cells" for movement
Blood and gore ARE allowed. Slightly vulgar language is ok, but if it's excessive; you MAY be disqualified. Minimum Grid Size is 8*8 Pixels 1 entry per person (or group) Max File size is 10Mb Zipped (No Rar's)
Graphics - XX/20 Gameplay - XX/40 Sound - XX/10 Christmas-ness XX/10 Presentaion xx/10 "Float" - XX/10 Float is basically just our personal preference. It's completely possible to have a well made game that you just can't stand, or two similar games but one is slightly better than the other. If you'll notice, the max points are, unsurprisingly enough, 100pts.
1. MMF2 Pro...er.Dev or $100 2. MMF2 Standard or $50 3. TGF2 or $50 Now, in order to get the cash prizes, you WILL NEED PAYPAL! That's not it! Jeff has also told us that he has 5 "Mystery Prizes" to give out as well, so here's how we'll deal with those: Best Graphics Most Original Best Use of "Christmas" theme The "Oh so close award" - awarded to 4th place "Round Table" - All of us judges will sit around like it's the dark ages, and pick one game that didn't win anything, and give the final "Mystery Prize" to it's creator.
