If you don't know already, gamedev fort http://contest.gamedevfort.com/page/prizes is running a month long competition. 7th july to 7th August, basically a month to create a game.

This should have every one excited as there is a prize for best gameguru game. I am definitely entering it, I have been dying to update and improve on morning mountain stroll. I definitely want to support and spread the word of gameguru, and so should you.

Also head over to https://www.humblebundle.com/ besides supporting charity you will also be funding the prize pool to the competition, while getting great game making tools, dlc's as well as a bucket load of TGC goodies you been putting off getting till now.So hurry !

I just wonder, if u could make games with guns.... Fps , a shooter. As they wrote in their rules, games should not contain 18+ material.

Turn off the blood features in the properties of the start marker and the characters, and that should bring it down to that rating.
I will head over and read those rules now.

One of the conditions is that you can only start the game from yesterday, so it is probably for the best you cannot enter your older game as you would have been disqualified at the judging stage. What I like about this competition is the prize fund, which just keeps getting bigger and bigger. You have the chance of winning a amazingly large prize if you can blow the judges away with your game idea, and the subject you have to incorporate is GROWTH so making use of the scaling widget in the IDE will probably take you a long way. Pity we did not have scaling commands in LUA but with the nightmare of tracking collision shape sizes, occlusion and other factors it is probably for the best to preserve stability. If you are creating a game for this amazing competition, and you get stuck, do not hesitate to ask a question in the forums as we will be throughout the competition phase to help you. It's extra kudos to our community if the grand prize was a game made in GameGuru!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Watch a game being made and ask GameGuru questions live on WED 8TH JULY at 6PM BST on Twitch at: http://www.twitch.tv/gamegurulee

The rules are pretty standard on the 18+ content, Keep it so teenagers can play it and you should be fine.

This is a great opportunity for our community to shine.

Good luck to all.

Yes I noticed the rules later on, So no problem there, I am going to use the same formula of using the terrain to hide objects and such, which will hopefully provide some nice scenery, going with medieval theme this time.Just a pity it took nearly a week of tweaking the terrain in MMS, to get rise and fall of the terrain and bends and scale just right.

Should be fun to try and squeeze, the terrain editing to just a few days instead of a week it took last time.

Is shooting at a zombie 18+ content?
I have already a nice idea, 4 weeks should be enough time, for a little GG game.

Should be fine, turn off the blood properties in each AI and the player marker.

I can not see how many larger should to be a game, in another words, how many levels should to have, to be considered a decent game?

I've found this, so I assume my question is already answered.

Quote: "Games Length: Judges will only be required to judge a game for 1 hour if it passes the screening stage. As such, any game over 1 hour will only be judged on its first hour of play."


I aready bought Humble Bundle , not sure If I go to partake, as you said one month is not long time, specially if you can not dedicate to long time too.
By the way I want to help with charity and increase the prizes.

Perhaps it should be a longest level (1 hour+).
