I spoke with Tutus, he will write invitation/motivational text, just he needs the details, I will send it to him if all details are in place
Ok, then all help with the details, please.
(I may be partly repeating myself below...)
"Official start": 1.11.2015 (the day we announce the competition and send info to other communities)
Deadline for submitting entries and donating: 9.05.2016
Each entry should contain a video clip, a few screenshots (one for menu and one for gameplay at least), credits and description.
One can use already existing music and graphics (also without the authors permission) but all should be properly credited with the author/source.
Day after the deadline we announce the number of entries in each category.
People who donated could then write to the collector how they want their donation distributed among the categories (in percentage), no contact means only for game categories and equal.
Then there could be time to prepare some presentation site or just forum topics for each submission...(with the submitted video clip, screenshots and description)...
Presentation and start of voting: 16.05.2016 (ep "birthday"? - so the new stuff gets released on an anniversary...)
"Presentation" means creating the entry forum topics or running the presentation site.
Official announcement of results: 23.05.2016
So about six months of time...
Confirmed categories:
- "original" games
- game conversions
There's no limit to entries per person...(?)
Existence of other categories depends on gathered funds and number of entries.
There must be minimum 3 entries for a category with at least 2 authors.
For example there could be a graphics competition (but maybe the level of the submitted graphics should also decide?).
If there will be a couple of entries that won't fit into any of the final categories then there can be a "wild" category where all such go...
Conversions should have some stuff added that makes use of enterprise-specific features...(Not sure about this actually)...
paypal account for donations: r.malkowski86@gmail.com (mine, but maybe someone else volunteers?)
