YoSniper's Fangame Contest 2016 *RESULTS*
patrickgh3:
I don't object. Since there's not a huge number of entrants and it's a pretty casual event, I'd say it's best to be as inclusive as possible.
On the other hand, being so inclusive makes the event feel less cohesive and more arbitrary. It feels less like making a contest game alongside everyone, and more like seeing the games people would have made regardless of the contest. Having a shorter time frame would help a lot with this. But even though I would like to see the contest head in this direction, how it is now has its own benefits. It feels like an incubator rather than a jam, but being an incubator is just fine. I just personally prefer jams.
WetWookie:
It kind of feels against the spirit of things to reuse an entry from last year unless there's a significant amount of effort that went into revamping the game. Like, if someone is putting up something from top 5 of last year with a couple of hours worth of tweaks I'd feel really unmotivated to make a whole new game to go up against it.

I've been working on a game for a little bit, but want to conform it to the contest and enter it to the contest with its rules and such, is that allowed?

I think that's fine. I'm just more concerned about people not liking the idea of a game from a previous contest coming back in this year's contest.
ON THE GENERAL TOPIC:
For the record, it's issues like this that help enforce why I have Entertainment/Creativity rules that vary from year to year.
Anyway, only one person has said they don't like it (but hasn't outright objected.)
I'll give it until the end of the week and if there are no outright objections, I'm calling it good.

Yeah, I'm not exactly against it, and this game of mine isn't even anywhere near complete yet, nor was it used from the past contest, sooo... yeah.
