Bunsen Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 This should be a reminder for all those who want to throw in their program for this year abbuc contest. It seems that we haven't so much high quality entries than last year. So chances to win are probably higher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw. you can check my blog for some teaser screens and comments regarding the game - these are in Czech though :-) It seems that we are going to make it before the deadline as the game is 99.9% complete. There won't be time for thorough testing but hopefuly there are no serious bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnar will reply to your very correct question but I think it would be better to keep our opinions to ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 No problem, I'll keep quiet until after that date. I thought that this'd be the best thing to do anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi, When is the deadline for voting? Then do I need just to send an email to software!at!abbuc!.!de with my votes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunsen Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi snicklin, deadline is the day of the AGM on 29th of october. I travel one day before to Herten, so I suggest to send the votes until 28th of october to softwareatabbucdotde. No need for sending me the vote sheet. Just send me a simple email with the points each program will get from you (1 - 10 points). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpj1138 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Wow, well, there is some heavyweight hitters out there to contend with. It would be a longshot just to enter the contest. Then again, everybody likes an underdog. I'd like to see something really creative that kicks everybody's ass. Look out, everybody, I'm writing a computer paper.. I think it's been about 10 years since the last one I wrote.. All right.. I'll quit while I'm ahead.. Oh, one last thing, there was a bunch of Atari graffiti around here, but they demolished the buildings that were tagged with it. I was gonna take pictures.. too late.. l8r..
