How much experience do you need to have a decent shot of competing?
I don't mean winning it, not even getting top 10, but finishing something decent before the deadline which has all four elements and let's say two/three levels. (if there are levels in the game of course :) )
You don't actually need that much experience, the only thing I had done before my 4E4 project was Pong, so I was pretty inexperienced when I started it. I wrote my game completely from scratch, and it took most of the contest to write. By the time I almost finished it, I had learned a lot, and had a lot more experience. I didn't finish my entry, but that was a side issue that had nothing to do with the project or my experience at all. [grin]
I'd say go for it, even if you have next to no experience writing games.
