LimiGame contest Announcement!!!

Hello dear Blender community!
I am announcing the LimiGame contest as open! I am sorry for a bit of disappointement that I collected just 4 comptetitors so I decided to change the rules a bit. There will be 2 stages of contest - 1st stage where all the competitors join the development and make their own game. After stage 1 there will be vote. THe best 2 games will become finalists. In final stage winners will have to make game with even more limits, including shorter given time. After final there will be vote where everyone can decide who is the best. Everybody can join stage 1 now, but in final there will be only 2 though.

Rules:
You have limited time and limited scene polycount/texture size/filter amount etc. For any of theese points which get exceeded you get -15% out of total vote count after vote is over. The game can be any theme, any content, except:

  • No culture/religy offensive content allowed
  • No porn allowed
  • No in-game ordure allowed

Any of theese points if they get broken means game disqualification.

Voting:
Everybody will be allowed to vote, there will be a poll made. Stage 1 vote will allow 2 choices - 2 of the games that you’d like to see in final. Final vote will have 1 vote choice and voters will have to decide which game they prefer. If there is tie in stage 1 for first place(a tie between place one and place 2), no actions will be done and both of theese persons will be in final. If there will be tie between 2nd and 3rd place(basicly 2 second places) in stage 1, than there will be 3 finalists.
If there is tie in the final, than everybody in final gets 1st place and everybody gets the great prize.

Prizes:
I have prepared few model prizes and I am currently making more(until the contest start). If I win in the contest, than all the prizes that I’ve prepared goes to 2nd place. Otherwise winner gets prizes.
Noone was voluenteer to donate some prizes, but if someone decides to donate something as prize, there is still a chance and I think that we all will be happy for that.

Times:
Stage 1 will be from 30 August to 4 September, it is 5 days. Each competitor will have to post a finished game in Finished Games forum section until 5 September with tag [LimiGame] before the name(e.g. [LimiGame]The Super Game). In 5 September evening(abount 20:00 GTM) I will collect all the games in a pack and post it for download. First vote will be from 5 September to 13 September. In 14 September there will start the final. Final will be 3 days long and end in 16 September. In 17 September both games have to be posted in Finished Games forum section so that I can collect both and put for download along with vote which will last until 13 September when we will find out the winner.

Good luck every competitor!
I hope that this contest idea will be very successful!:wink:

Stage 1 limits:

  • No more than 2500 polygons.
  • No more than 8192 x 8192 pixels on all the textures together.
  • No more than 5 materials.
  • No more than 3 sounds.
  • No more than 2 2D filters, no more than 8 samples per filter if you use custom filters and they have samples.
  • Total size of .blend can not be larger than 30.0 MB.
  • 4 lamps maximum.

I think they’re pretty enaugh.

So until the 30 August when we will start to enjoy the contest!:slight_smile:

Contest has started already!:slight_smile:

Oh - I am sorry that I forgot to mention about lamp limit before - no more than 5 lights allowed.
