Oh trust me, I'll know. >:VikingBoyBilly wrote:If you're giving us 12 days how will you ever know we did it in just one?
Seriously though, I guess I'm just going by trust.
I don't know why anyone would want to cheat. The fun part about this competition is to "see what you can do in a day", so you guys can explore your creativity without really having to think about it.
By cheating, you're only really cheating yourselves.
Damn that fifth rule... Tell you what, I'll try it -- but not today. But it ain't gonna be pretty. Why I don't like this kind of thing is that it's not nice to see the amount of mods increasing with works that are either crappy or too incomplete, since usually making one takes a lot time.
My newest mod - Commander Keen: Sunset: viewtopic.php?t=8568 | codename H.Y.E.N.A.

Well I guess this means I'm in as long as I can carve out some time for it.Paramultart wrote:5 - If you are reading this, you are officially obligated to partake in this competition, whether or not you've ever made a mod in your life.
Well I'm treating it more as a demo/proof-of-concept, like the ones for Andy's old Keen 4 contest, than anything else right now. But really, yeah... I don't really find it possible to churn out a quality mod (or mini-mod for that matter) in 24 hours - perhaps the contest could be expanded to allow any amount of work between now and the deadline?

I guess I don't have a choice, now do I, especially since I just trolled Spleen. Don't expect much.

I think you mean whiny little itchbaysParamultart wrote:Okay you whiny little bitches. Since 1 day isn't enough time for some of you, deadline is the 28th, so you have 12 days. >:
However, since I am awesome, I will prove that it's possible to make a quality mod in one day, and I WILL be releasing my game tonight.
And I can't wait to see what you've come up with tomorrow
Okay, I've thought of a little concept I think I can manage in the timeframe. But it means I'll have to put my other mod on hold itchbay itchbay itchbay
