Official hbgames.org contest
What is Ruby Gosu?
Gosu is a game making library for the Ruby programming language.
What is the meaning of this contest?
I want to push Gosu on the RPG Maker community. I want us to open our horizons and try new shit out.
I want us to make something good. I think we can really become the leading site for Ruby Gosu projects,
and get some good games out there. They don't have to be RPG's remember.
What do we do?
Learn Ruby.
Then, begin playing around with Gosu. Follow the tutorial I linked to above. Start doing your own things.
Make a game with it. The game can be anything you can imagine. It does not have to be an RPG.
It doesn't even have to fit a gaming category that currently exists.
What do we win?
~ FIRST PLACE ~
- An "I Love Wyatt" mug, which is only available from this contest*
- The back of the mug will have the winner's name
- $5.00 cash via Paypal
~ RUNNER UP ~
- $5.00 cash via Paypal
What are the rules?
- Projects may not use any game making software. Only a text editor and the Ruby interpreter are allowed.
- Projects may not have any game-crashing bugs. (Not a disqualifier, but obviously not good marks-wise).
- Projects should be mainly your own code.
- You may compile your game into an .exe. In the event of which, you must supply your source code to the judge(s).
- Projects may not have been started before the start of this contest.
- The deadline will be decided on once we know how many are interested in the contest.
*While the "I Love Wyatt" mug is only currently available via this contest, it may also be given out as a prize of future contests. It will, however, never be made available anywhere else but this site, will never be put up for sale, and there will never be more than 25 copies made.
All prizes in this contest are coming out of Wyatt's pocket. $22.99 worth. Therefore, I shall say this: I'm only giving out prizes if more than five people enter serious entries. Thanks.
The prize will be sent through Zazzle. We will require your home address. Please note we can only send to where Zazzle allows us to send to. Your address will not be stored anywhere, and will not be used for any other purposes than to send the contest prize.
