I'm guessing It's safe to say that this year's Competition has now begun since the page has already been set up?

https://www.yolkfolk.com/dizzyage/competition.php

This is the 10th Annual DizzyAGE fan games competition.
It ends on 1st of June when hopefully, it will bring new great adventures for all the Dizzy fans.
So, if you want to be amongst the winners (see prizes) and have a contribution to the wonderful world of Dizzy games. Make sure you register your entry by then.
Winners will be decided on 1st August.

Before you submit your entry, make sure it follows the competition rules.

You may announce your intention to participate, even if your game isn't ready yet, but make sure you finish it by the end of the contest. Send an e-mail with your name, the game's title and some info about it.

Good luck, to everyone!

I suppose I'd better officially submit 'Daisy Wants Flowers' as my 'coming bottom again' entry to this year's competition. I shall, of course, give high scores to EgoTrip's entry as no way will he usurp my position {yolkfolk}:bigwink:
Hoping that Meph manages to get his Crystal Maze game finished as I've been looking forward to playing that for over a year now (big hint there Phil). Also hoping that Simon (Noggin) will screw my mind with another weird and wonderful game, and that Dr Titus and co will make me swear with a game with seemingly impossible jumps! What about you Lord Dizzy - any chance of another game this year?

Unlikely, but you never know. I was expecting a jobless winter again but things have been quite busy really, but who knows.

Not only is it the 10th anniversary of Dizzy age, but I think it's the 25th anniversary of the Crystal Maze so it would be awesome to have this game complete, But it's a long way off and I don't want to rush/cobble it together, plus I started shooting a new puppet film between work.

We'll see, :umm:

Happy to wait another year Phil as earning a crust or two is much more important. Nothing wrong with celebrating a 26th anniversary of the Crystal Maze ...or if your work really takes off, a 27th anniversary {yolkfolk}:thumb:

We'll have to see how things go, Weekends are a no no at the moment as I'm also trying to re-decorate at home lol
Luckily I found all my game notes under the computer desk when I moved it out, I didn't realise they weren't were they were meant to be!! Relief.

Added "Mushroom Kingdom Dizzy" by EgoTrip

And there's this...

This year we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the DizzyAGE Easter Competition!

We've entered in the 10th year of DizzyAGE and since we're starting with the competition, it's the 10th edition.

As a remember moment, the first competition back in 2006, had only one entry. That was "Dizzy And The Emerald Eye" by Peter Teal. We came a long way since than and DizzyAGE registered over 100 games!

Just wanted to thank you all for all your wonderful games and for all you did to keep this community alive!

Have fun!

I was wondering if it would be possible to enter a game late? I have a small project in the pipeline but it won't be finished by the end of the month. It might be by 1st June though?

#8261218 April 2015

It looks like no one noticed my previous post. Does anyone object if I enter a game late? The name is Sunken Castle Dizzy. It should be finished in a month or so.

#8261319 April 2015

Depends on how Alex feels as it's his competition. I've no objection as coming fourth sounds better than coming third {yolkfolk}:thumb:

#8261822 April 2015

As said on email, if you're sure to come with a playable version by June 1st, sure we can extend the deadline.
It's worth having another game in :smile:
I'll wait for your confirmation on email.

#8261923 April 2015

Done.
Submission deadline extended till June 1st, then voting till August 1st.
(as mentioned on the main competition page)

Have fun!

Alex, the DizzyAGE site has already displaying the Voting page and some people have already voted, even though you said the voting will now start at the beginning of June this year for Noggin.

#828341 June 2015

OK guys.

As far I know, the voting stage for this year's Easter Competition is meant to be starting today, the games entering are as follows.

- Daisy Wants Flowers (Steve Rennie)
- Dizzy - The Last Hero (trz)
- Mushroom Kingdom Dizzy (EgoTrip)
- Sunken Castle Dizzy (Simon Rice)
- Tycoon Dizzy (Andrew Goulding)

Alex has not yet updated the Competition page, but I thought I'd leave this here to help him know which games have been entered this year.

#828391 June 2015

I am confident I will finish rock bottom. Grandad will not.

#828531 June 2015

Hi everyone!

I've just got back home and realized my smart competition php script started the voting earlier :tongue:
Naughty, naughty script!

However those were the scores from the last year :smile:
Only a few people had actually voted this year, so please vote again because I had to reset the scores.

I've added all the games so all should be well.

I've also added Steve's "Annie's Legacy".
Not sure if Steve wanted this in the Competition, but it was sent in time.
I've emailed him to confirm.

Alex

P.S.
Thanks Adz for the list.

Cheers Alex. Six games is a good turnout. :tup:

Don't be silly EgoTrip - nobody's gonna rain on my parade, so have accepted Alex's offer to enter Annie's Legacy; gives me more chances to keep my reputation intact. Besides, I really liked your game so will be giving it a high score.

There's a problem with voting.

I keep getting an error message saying:
"vote data base is busy, please try again!"
