DizzyAGE Easter Competition 2008 [ENDED]

A few minutes after midnight here (+2), but since in the time zone 0 it's still February 1st, I'll say we are technically in time.

Yes, DizzyAGE v2.1 is finally up. Check the DizzyAGE website:
https://www.yolkfolk.com/dizzyage

And the DizzyAGE Easter Competition 2008 has started too!
Waiting for entries and sponsors :smile:
It will end on May 1st, as usual.

A new note to the rules has just been added:
Contesters can register more than one game in the competition.
So, hopefully we'll have even more Dizzy games this year!

If you need help with your game(s), ask for support here in the forums, or directly on the email from the DizzyAGE website.

Good luck to everyone!
Alex

Don't get to excited... i haven't made it yet lol
Expect a flood of dumb questions to follow! I'm at that..."WTF?, oh bugger! what did i do? whats this for?, nutz! i broke it!" stage {yolkfolk}:scratch:

haha that's the stage i was at a year ago! :tongue:

so we won't be graced with a screenshot yet then?

No not yet.. I've been using fantasy style graphics up to now, but seeing as its a race against time, me being a total numpty at coding etc.. it'll be wise using the original style rather than making life even harder for myself..

yup, start simple, then gradually get more complex as you learn how to use it. :smile:

anyway, you have nearly 3 months before the deadline, i'm certain you'll be able to do something before then!

RRD is nearly ready for release. Should be in about a week, all being well. :smile:

Cool.. do you want to do my game while your waiting for May to come around lol

Welcome in the competition NigeC!
As soon as you got some screen(s), I'll post you in the list.
Feel free to ask any tech questions in the DizzyAGE Help forum, or email me.
And don't try to learn all the DizzyAGE tricks now.
Concentrate on your game to be fun because that's what it matters.
Good luck!
Alex

Thanks :teethy:

Yes i learnt from doing the Flash games to keep it simple or you'll never get anywhere.
The story if fairly strong so i should be able to rely on that to compensate for my coding sort comings

Great news!
We have a wonderful donation for the competition:

you don't need to do pixel art for either if you don't want to. i suck at art in general, so i just used game tiles instead :tongue:

Thanks.. Its going quite well considering lol

I'll see if i can come up with something with the tiles Thanks

Nice screen shot, NigeC!
I'll post you in the competition list, tonight.
The title, is it "Dizzy And The Crabapple", "Dizzy And The Crab Apple" or "Dizzy And The CrabApple"?
