Its almost upon us

    Its almost upon us

    With DBP fast approaching. 2 weeks until entries open and up to 5 weeks to finally get your submission in, i wonder what people will be thinking of sending as their entry.
    Obviously a game is required, but so much more too.
    We need to supply the game in ccgame format.
    A name for the game
    3 screenshots and a video url
    and up to 10,000 characters of description about your game.
    Will you be using your full allocation of characters, or just something short and sweet?
    if you plan to use it all up, what are you going to put in there, a little back story perhaps, future plans? details on editors and development environment?
    etc etc.. all the gory details you are willing to spill at this time.

    And i guess another valid question is will you be pushing on right until the last day 21st september or will you be playing it safe and getting it in early before you break something :)

    This is probably a great time to remind people NOT to wait till the last day to upload... otherwise we may get a repeat of last year...

    well my view is that the published deadline is 23 september, so MS should be able to accept entries up to that point and if they have load issues with their servers they should be planning for that, just as electricity supply is upped for big events. seems a bit daft submitting a week earlier to accomodate poor server planning? i will need to work to the deadline to get what i want accomplished and i don't see why not.

    Good call, although i see jamezila was in that boat last year.. and he obviously didnt have any issues finally getting it through :D
