ok, here we go now, sorry for the delay but we have a life, too and several timezones are between some of our members and us here in europe, so sometimes it just takes some time to get everyone to the keys that is involved.
We agreed to the following new parameters:
1) the deadline will be expanded till may 17th
2) all entries will be released at that day
We know that some people don't like this but we wanted to have some kind of "suprise" at least, this should be our compromise for not waiting too long before seeing the releases.
3) voting will be open for anyone, but you still have to send a message/email to get a votekey as we use our own website for the voting. fakevoting/multi-accounting etc. is not allowed and will lead to a ban
4) voting period will end may 31th. that should give enough time to check the releases
5) the original 4 releases will get a bonus, they will be included in the final demo for sure, even if they were dropping out of the top 10.
6) the final demo will be released as soon as possible after the deadline at the next suitable occasion, which I don't know yet.
we had some troubles to get this competition done, with a member near death during the creation of the invitation and a lot of personal drama, so we got into some not so good position with the timing. We decided to hold the compo after the X-party as the most active people would concentrate onto releasing there anyway. We guessed after X would fit in perfectly, with some parts that didn't make it to a demo, but didn't think of people being "burned" from creating stuff for X, we are not 18 anymore, we have families and x-mas and we should have known.
We hoped for some huge battle, which we still hope to happen :) we don't give up easily...
so, get out your coder-pants, jump into your pixel- and composer-karlsongs and go create.
A huge thanks to the original 4 groups who created something for the compo till now. We are really happy that you support us. |

Glad to see this decision! :-)
Just two more questions:
1. Am I allowed to enter another part? :-)
2. Do entrants also have to send a mail for a votekey or do they get one automatically? |

1) you can enter as many parts as you like, but if there are too many then the orga team can preselect :D
2) hell no, you will get a the keys by email before the compo ends |

sorry to hear about the drama, I hope the member with health problems has now recovered 100%.
(small story:) I started my part during xmas holidays for the AFL party and that one got cancelled (btw, happy 30 yrs guys!), then I reconverted it for DOTY... great to hear this event is not cancelled, otherwise someone could start to think I bring misfortune to the scene :)
end of may... uhm... this is a lot of time to keep my very own local support team (my kids and their schoolmates who want to watch the demo on youtube) quiet... :) |

As one of the authors of one of the "original four", I think this is a good compromise, guaranteed spot in the final demo is a nice bonus! :) |
