64Digits 2014 Completition

HAHAH ACID I'M STEALING YOUR THUNDER.

I've actually had quite a few people approach me about this, asking if we were going to have a Completition this year. The answer depends wholly on how many people are interested.

For those who don't remember, the Completition is a friendly, non-competitive event where entrants take one of their unfinished game ideas (or start a new one, if they dare), and try to see it to completion within a few months. Last year's turnout was actually quite good, and we finished with six very good, complete games, a few of which saw success beyond the event, such as Cesque's Fire Point.

This is a great time to get together and work on something, as well as show off your abilities to the rest of the site.

Due to the unsuccessful attempt last year to bundle with IUP, I won't make such a promise this year, and any prizes allocated are purely icing on the cake. I know this was a driving factor for a lot of people, but after seeing the success some of the entrants had, I'd highly recommend those who finish their games to post to alternate sites, such as GameJolt.

This event won't start until June, so you have a lot of time to prepare, or even start a new game for the purpose. I'm just posting this to see how many people are still interested.

Just remember that if you are interested in entering, it's usually better to focus on a smaller game, such as a minigame or puzzle game, as those are far easier to finish than a full RPG or story-driven action game.

oh ffs let me just

and end this. Acid is working hard to get decent sponsors for his competition. i don't like seeing him lose momentum. and i don't want anymore flashbacks of how much of a trainwreck the indiebundle was last year.

nothing wrong with putting out feelers, but maybe defront this for now to save everyone the confusion?

If it's a feelers blog then say it in the title, don't make it seem like you're announcing something.

I'll believe that you weren't actually aware of ohjam at first and you edited in that first bit later on, but to keep going in this manner is a total dick move n your part, Kilin.

I personally don't understand the confusion – in no way was it implied that this was to take over Acid's comp or even run alongside it.

However, for various reasons, I'll be closing and unfronting this. I will bring this up again in the future, probably closer to the end of Acid's competition, but in my experience it's always been better to announce early rather than do something spur-of-the moment.

My sincerest apologies to Acid. I wish your competition the best of luck.

And good lord, panzer.
