Event id #3450 : C64GFX.com Loading Screen Compo 2024
No serious rules for this compo.
You can remake/remaster an old loading screen or create a loading screen for a game that doesn't already have one... or even for an imaginary game. NO RERELEASES - this must be new material.
Acceptable formats:-
- Multicolour Bitmap
- Hires Bitmap
- PETSCII
We will split the compo into those 3 categories.
NO FLI, no interlace, no raster bars, no sprite overlays, no animation, no music. No graphical changes or enhancements at all - keep it plain.
Of course you can use an initial fade in so long as it's fairly quick (less than 5 seconds).
Voting will be done on the new C64GFX.com voting platform. You can register for that now (just hit the "register" bar at the top). Please enter your handle as your username. Votes will only county from CSDb registered users on this compo - we will confirm with all voters if needed before voting completes.
Voting will run throughout the compo and for an additional approx 2 weeks. Don't save your votes till the last minute as I will close voting sometime between 14th and 16th October (ie. you won't know exactly when).
Votes will be kept private until the voting window closes - and will BE MADE PUBLIC after that window (down/up voters beware).
We'll use the squared-average formula again to work out final results.
Have fun :-) |

Jmin: Ok, I think the confusion here comes from the term “reference”. I’m not an artist but I have worked with many artists - and designers - throughout my career .. and “reference”, “ideas board”, “design board”, etc were something that I heard about regularly.
For artists/designers (whether art, music or other), “references” are simply anything that they can use (“as a reference”) to help them with things that might not come immediately to mind. Photos of people running, for example, to help remind about arm and leg positions.. or pictures of animals so that you don’t end up drawing an owl with rabbit ears (the brain is a funny thing) etc.
So when people talk about “references” that’s at least what I think of. |

Apologies that voting was down for a while this afternoon… entirely my fault and I’m just showing that I’m a noob with web development here.
The technical bit: I got scared at how many database queries were being sent (the db is externally hosted and the host has limits…) so I “optimized” it. Then didn’t notice that the optimization had completely borked it.
It’s fixed now, anyway, and database queries should be back at a sensible figure :) |

Just 4-5 days left to vote now :-) … voting will close sometime between 14-16 October. The top spots are -very- close right now, #1 and #2 just swapped places with last night’s voting.
Every vote counts.

We use Clerk for user registration. Interesting that it doesn’t let you use a breached password at all, rather than just warning you about it. I don’t believe I have any control over that in the settings… |

Not making the login yourself, so you can log all the info, seems like a beginner mistake to me :o) |

There are 1,000s of registered users on CSDb. If i chose the best… would I still trust them more to make a secure use registration system than one that’s been tried and tested for so long? No. Definitely I would trust Clerk more than myself :p |
