Hopefully it isn't a very open ended contest. Whenever I am left to my own when it comes to game ideas I end up making them much too big to complete in one month, but if it's a specific theme that inspires a good idea for a game I can make quickly, then I'll be all over such a contest.

good to hear somethings planned. i say a semi-strict theme is good as well...... pretty much for what EDC said.

I wanna participate.

we dont want heavy metal rm2k games

k ill change it to opera and jazz rm2k games

I still have to first contemplate the idea of learning how to do games before getting into something like this

nobody wants a google search of jazz and opera music rm2k game

I think you have to psyche yourself out and just make one.

Whatever competition this might be, I'ma make the best goddamn RTP game ever made in the history of mankind.

That's why I have been waiting for a contest.

I don't think I can properly psyche myself to make a game on self-determination alone, and an organized event with a timeline/deadline is likely to force me straight into the process with enough of a chance of actually seeing it through.

Either way, I feel that once I can finish making a first game, it will be a lot easier in my mind to work through any other game idea I happen to have, no matter how convolutely large my aspirations for it are.
