Some questions about the 7DRL Contest...

(1/1)

ParaSait:
Yeah, I know, this is probably not the right forum and all but I don't want to make an account on the 7DRL discussion board (If that exists) just for those few little questions...
And at least you guys will know the answers...

Anyway, I got 3 questions:

1) Can't the participating developers "cheat" by just taking their time to make their game in longer than 1 week, and at the end of the contest they just give a perfectly polished roguelike? I mean, how can they verify that?

2) Are there going to be any more of those contests planned to be organised?

3) And if so, how do I participate?

EDIT: Never mind about Question 3, I found that one out myself...

Kornel Kisielewicz:
1) Yes they can, but no they don't. There are no prizes nor places, so the only person you'd be cheating would be yourself.

2) Yes.

3) Simple enough -- when contest starts post to rec.games.roguelike.development that you start, then retreat to a hermits life for one week, and emerge with your shiny 7DRL roguelike and eternal fame and glory awaits! ^_^

ParaSait:
Thanks for the information! So when exactly is the next contest going to be, next year or so? (I'm interested in participating, you see)

Kornel Kisielewicz:
It's usually somewhere around March.
