no problem there aren’t theme limitation and they will be judge individually for his own merits
Do we have to send the files to the judges, or will a Dropbox link be enough? After the 15 days wait, do the games have to be made public or can they go into Beta Testing?
I’m curious to see the “Are you working on a Choicescript Game” thread fill up with posts tomorrow. All of my “on paper” designing is done, so I’m eager to start coding tomorrow. 
I still don’t know if I can finish it in 2 months, but it’s a fun thing to try to do.
Dropbox is actually preferred: (http://www.lordirish.com/contest.html)
Beta testing should really be done BEFORE you submit the game, but after that submission - as far as I can tell - only the judges will have access to your game, so it’ll probably be ok to submit it to CoG for hosted game beta testing.
I don’t think we’ll see too many comments in the “Are You Working” thread, as from how I read it, we’re not allowed to talk about our entries in public until after their submission (small team of self-selected beta testers excluded).
Two months is a long time though, I am truly looking forward to seeing what people can produce in that length of time - now that the motivation is there.
Good luck to you all!
I’ll Alpha test the crap out of it, but probably won’t do Beta until I’m ready for a full scale test. That’s right, a small-scale is allowed, hmmmmm.
I think a single paragraph “this is what I’m making” would be allowed, wouldn’t it? Perhaps some clarification as to what can be shared would be a good idea? How much help can we get from others?
@fantom I never assume lol, but felt you might be. I just did not see a post saying as much I have added you to the list.
Looks like all the other questions have been covered. @CJW has the info right as just as he has stated. Next year I will be adding a theme or elements that need to be placed in the story, this way no one can start early. But I have a whole year to plan for the next one. The contest officially starts at midnight. Good luck to you all.
@Lucid I see no problem with you asking for beta testers on the thread, I see no harm in a title, but the game info would be better if pm’ed to those interested. As far as size I figured 4 to 6 testers. Of course this is a loose rule, and see no need to put it stone yet.
So we should announce a title in the thread?
I know it’s a bit random at the moment but what is an honorific title (or ruling title) that applies to both sexes?
@Headhunter180 The only one I’m aware of is “Mx”, although that looks kind of odd. Other then that I think you’re limited to titles such as “my lord” and such.
@Headhunter180

I’ll enter the contest as well.
Are we allowed to get people’s opinions on something concerning our game, or do we have to limit it to the beta test group?
I will leave that up to the judges as the contest is now running.
can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.
I’ve never made a story with Choicescript or anythin’, but you know what, I think I’ll go for it! I have some ideas I could mess with. Sign me up!
good luck , may the choice script be kind to you in your endevor
How’s everyone getting on? It seems it’s going to take *me* the entire first month just to actually finalize an idea… -.-’
Curious as to how everyone else is finding this (minus spoilers)?
