Welcome to the forums Snipes.

[lemonxreaper]

Its certainly an interesting idea. I will of course be interested to see how it goes and maybe even take part myself for the hell of it

If I was to take part, it would probably be a fairly short game, thinking about this makes me wonder if there will be any or many guidelines, or if that is something that will be decided upon the start of the contest.

[YoSniper]

Oh there will be rules and guidelines. But I'm holding off on revealing anything until the official start of the contest. I'll probably be looking for people to announce their intention to compete after Valentine's Day, and then start the contest March 1st or something.

EDIT: Contest has been officially announced! People are still welcome to become judges, but I'm looking for at least 15 people to announce their running in the contest by way of video responses!

[lemonxreaper]

if my status/post count meets the required amount for automatic verification. Then put my name down too

I can voutch for lemonreaper, he's a cool guy.

[Wolsk]

Seph is in.  Everyone give up.

[HAEGOE]

Do I need video response with my face when I apply for judges, too? I just don't like showing my face online, even if hundreds of dollars depend on it.(edit : And I'm not a good fangame maker anyways)

Although I'm able to clear fangames made by me, I think I'm not so good at others.. is that OK?

[klazen108]

Uhh, I'm halfway through making a fangame, can I enter it in the contest? I know I won't win if Seph is in the rankings, but heck, why not

[MetaKK]

Seph is in.  Everyone give up.

That's why there's a wide variety of judges. And to be honest, I used to think gimmick-oriented fangames are the one and only way to go, but after someone in the comment of one of YoSniper's reviews explained the appeal of the metagame a bit more (a variety of different jumps and always new constellations of spikes and hazards; basically an a lot more gameplay oriented point of view rather than gimmicks and/or graphics) I can now, somewhat, see the appeal of needle games.

Don't forget: The winner has to please every judge.

Though it would be nice to have someone from the hardcore needle fangame community in as a judge as well, at least that's my 2 cents on it.

I'm hoping people wont actually think this way and still go for it
I'm pretty certain I don't stand a chance, but it will be fun anyway.

Ohai.

[pieceofcheese87]

[Sephalos]

Definitly. I'll voutch for pieceofcheese, he's another great member of our community.
