It's actually 20,000 bytes, which is just a bit less than 20 kilobytes. Use KevEdit to check it; in the board information the size is at the bottom, and it appears in red if it exceeds 20,000 bytes. And yes, it causes runtime errors.

Work in black metal and Buddhism somehow, and we'll talk.

The topic was intentionally chosen to be very broad. There's a lot of different kinds of crime. Drug trafficking came to mind as a really good basis for a game, for example.

20 hours left!

Well, I'm done, but I seem to be having some trouble with uploading.

I keep getting the error "Not uploaded! Filetype should be ZIP.", even though my file is definitely a .zip. :/

I had to use WinRAR to zip it - could this be a factor?

Sorry, my fault, I was afraid this would happen. Try again, I've removed the filetype restriction.

Aha, it works now! I've uploaded my entry. It's kinda short, but I had a lot of stuff going on this weekend, so I'm really just glad I was able to finish something and submit it.

Haha, I don't even want to think about what I'll have to do to catch up with my weaving, after having spent the entire weekend ZZTing instead. I'm pretty pleased with my game, though, so I guess it's worth it!

Anyway, like I said, main part done, doing short little end stage thing now

I don't know what went wrong there, sorry. I'll leave that restriction off in case it happens to anyone else. Thanks for submitting.

What happens if someone uploads a lot of gay porn?

Edit: Which I totally don't plan on doing, btw!

Well, someone could have still put a bunch of gay porn into a .zip file, so it isn't significantly easier to abuse the system.

P.S. Good luck to all those who have participated/are participating! It's nice to see a decent turnout.

If there's a way to upload gay porn, Quantum P. will find it.

Holy shit, I hit the "If your game is bigger than this, it will crash" limit hard right when I tried to do the ending. Fortunately, I saved this file about a million different ways because I'm paranoid during WoZ contests. I'm going to try to split this into two worlds now. You can do that, right? :agh:

Wow. Gee's. How hard is it to draw a half decent picture in ZZT? Even with Kev edit.

I've been trying to do these cinematic boards. But they suck. Cept for one of them. (I got some guy yelling out of a building. Lol, its funny, kind of.)

If we have pictorial boards, will it matter to much how they look, as long as they get the message across and don't look too horrific?

Oh what am I saying. Oh course it will. Still, I need them though because the plot demands it of me. (Darn that plot.)
