Human Day Contest Announcement
Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2003 11:40 am
A friend and I are holding an independent game design contest for the month of December. We formerly (last year and the one before) held this contest for the Ohrrpgce game engine, but we are now opening it up beyond that engine.
The idea of the contest is deceptively simple. A very weird, unexpected, and highly unorthodox 'gameplay mechanic / gameplay theme' is going to be announced on the site on December 1st. Within a mere 25 days, the task is to turn this theme into a functional game. It will undoubtedly be something difficult, such as "create a game about gossiping"; not just a story, mind, but the processes of gameplay would have to strongly reflect the theme of "gossiping".
Entrants may use any game engine, including pure programming, to create their game. The only qualification is that the judges must be able to play it.
