Need Entrants! This is just your normal Joltfest competing to see who can make the coolest game in 72 hours. Other than some sort of jackpot, there will be no prize, just the satisfaction of knowing you can stay up programming for 72 hours straight. The rules of the contest are as follows: Game Type: anything you want Basis for Judging: creativity, game play, polish Recommended Skill Level: any Starts: 12 pm GMT Central - ??? Ends: 12 pm GMT Central - ??? The theme of the contest will be announced several minutes before starting time. - Any language you want - You can use models, textures, sounds, etc. from third parties - You can submit multiple entries - Full source code must be submitted - The GDNet contest rule about 3rd party engines/libs - it must be publicly available and/or open source - Scores will be based on creativity, game play, and polish, but NOT necessarily presentation - If there is a jackpot and you work on team, then the money will be split evenly among team members - Entries must run on Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP Once I find a host for the contest then I'll post submission rules.

I would love to enter, it seems like a great idea. A jackpot sounds cool, too

.

I''d like to see how much I could accomplish in 72 hours.

Hopefully the date will not be this weekend, as I will be on vacation. We won''t know the theme until the day it starts? ^_^ You''re making things too tough. No design documents then I suppose.

Can''t wait to hear more!

The first pick for date for the contest would probably be labor day. After that, I can''t think of anytime I or a lot of other people would have a break from school until Christmas.

www.ludumdare.com had a contest like this recently (it was only 48 hours long, though). You might want to look there for some ideas.
