Heaven/TQA Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Jac... sounds like 10 commandments but we are evil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 You can be evil, but if it does not run on real hardware here (I have lots of it), it will not enter the competition. If you can test on real hardware all is fine, but if not, better listen to JAC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 hehe... just kidding... JAC is my hardware tester sometimes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+skr Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) The ABBUC pages I´ve linked to in the first post should be accesible for everybody, no matter if you are an ABBUC member or not and if you have an account or not. If that does not work, please give me a note and I´ll fix it. And thanks to +Adam+ for the quick support. Edit: Whoa, the first link seems to direct you to the wrong place. As I can´t edit the post anymore, please try this link here: http://www.abbuc.de/atari/software-ressort/81-software/softwarewettbewerbe/1727-software-wettbewerb-2014 Edited June 27, 2014 by skr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8Bitjunkie Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 OK guys, let's rock the A8 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think, most people realise that the ABBUC SWC takes place every year and the deadline is sometime end of August. And entries enter late usually. There´s always one who goes ahead and is the first entry for a while. Last year it was Dev Wars by Cliff Hatch. I´m relaxed and wait for the things to come as I know that there are people who code a full game in only 16 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Bitjunkie Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I know that there are people who code a full game in only 16 hours. Does this sounds like a new Event? This year Basic-10-Liners, next year: 1-Weekend-Games :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmilo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Does this sounds like a new Event? This year Basic-10-Liners, next year: 1-Weekend-Games :-) Sounds like Ludum Dare for 8bits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaPa Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Probably matosimi's Xirius Defect from last ABBUC competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sounds like Ludum Dare for 8bits Or the BitBit Jam which ran for a week last month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creature XL Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Probably matosimi's Xirius Defect from last ABBUC competition That wouldn't count as he himself has written that the game logic was ready from a former game. In case I understodd that incorrectly, I would indeed be impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creature XL Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 http://matosimi.websupport.sk/atari/2013/09/abbuc-sw-contest-2013-challenge/ This is the quote I remembered Rules of game are quite similar to “Light Up!” that I coded and sent to Abbuc SW Contest in 2006. This game is however really coded from scratch. So, the logic was not new, but was coded from scratch. Anyways, even IFF the logic was completed, I wouldn't have been able to do the rest in 16h. So I tip my hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Anyways, even IFF the logic was completed, I wouldn't have been able to do the rest in 16h. No need to do so as you still have 8 weeks left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Let us present the latest project by MPG Productions for the upcomming ABBUC Software Contest. The game is still in very early stage (started just last week) but some essential functionality is already in place. Code and game concept: MaPa Visuals: PG 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 PG... too many colors 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that it is not just colorful using obvious DLI's. I am more and more happy that my game will be finished next year. However, just today I thought I might enter something simple just to be part of the crowed. Let's see when the Word Cup ends for Germnay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
