What about the hungarian board, do they know we are trying to organize a competition?

I think so.
Most people from the Hungarian forum speak or understand some English.
Should we announce this event in the Hungarian forum too?

Tutus have some very good question which should be clarified for the invitation:

"- What is the official name of the competition who is the organizer, what prices can win?
1st Enterprise GameDevCompo , or chose a better one?

"- Exact dates (announce of the compo, deadline for submission, start date of voting etc. ?)"
I like 1 week before EP birthday for the deadline for submission, and after start voting. Announce of the compo could be 1st of nov, but may be we are late for it

"Which categories will be available?"
- EP program
- Conversion
- Wild (Other)
- possibly Graphich

"Which other conditions are valid for enter to the Compo?"
The conversion should contain EP specific stuff, the readiness of the program should be at least 80%.
A programmer / group can enter more entry in the Compo.

"which other conditions are valid for sending the programs?"
A short video has to be catpured from the program which should be uploaded to youtube, the link should be attached to the forum, or the home page of the event, some screenshot should be sent from the game menü, and from the game, and of course the program needed also to enter the compo:)
Parts of other programs can be used als (graphics, music, etc), but is should be sign in the game.

These are the things which were mentioned in the forum earlier, and my oppinion, other ideas?

Enterprise128 GameDevCompo#1 "Life begins at 30"

I like it more with a subtitle ;P, although don't know about "GameDev" because there are also other non-game categories but it should be ok.

This name is better

GameDev? Demos too... or something anything.
DevCompo!

I agree, "Game" in the name is too game centric, even if other kind of software is accepted too, somehow just "devcompo" sounds better. At least for me ...

wow I am now happy, because I am sure, my GraCha editor will win the utility category

It's even hard to define what utility is. It's kinda hard to compare a game level editor (well, or whatever we want to name it) with eg an EXDOS low level utility, or similar. I guess, it's almost impossible ...

you're right, let's stratch the "Game" from the name

Any other opinions about the dates, deadline form and other conditions?

ssr86 · « **Reply #58 on:** 2015.October.30. 06:33:55 »

Please guys... If we want to do it then there must be more opinions, votes regarding the rules. For now the only decided thing we got is the name of the event and some approximations of the dates...

I like 1 week before EP birthday for the deadline for submission, and after start voting. Announce of the compo could be 1st of nov, but may be we are late for it

After a little thought, this option should be better than the "liquid deadline" because with the latter people would vote before seeing every entry so their voting would be somewhat biased...

Possibly "EP programs" should be divided into basic and asm but that (as all) depends on the number of entries.

[...] the readiness of the program should be at least 80%.

What does that mean? We have to specify. (Earlier I wrote what it means for me)

I think we will use the forum for everything realated to the competition.
But a dedicated web page would be more "professional" so if a web developer popped up that would be great, but the forum is always the easier and faster option.

"In the game" or would it suffice to just include the full credits (with eventual links) in the description of the entry.

There is also the need to include the info that it's a crowd-funded event and donations can be made till the end of the competition (or just the deadline?).

Maybe we should add a point that the rules can be changed in the first month (or till end of the year)? Then we could announce the competition and still have time to make some changes (and with some voices from the outside).

If nobody else has any new oppinion, then we can start with this setup, it is hard to clarify what is 80% ready, we can write it, but we are not able to correctly define, it would be always subjective. I think the main point of 80% readiness would be, the game is playable ( at least one level )
