  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Working on a small game to showcase the Devlog

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

Just a quick thing, I think the topic of the challenge should be defined by the winner of the previous one, a reward in itself.

Malus, I like that. Except no one person should define the topic of a challenge twice in a row. If one person wins the challenge that they defined the topic for, then the topic of the next challenge should then be decided by the second place winner.

I'm not so sure I agree. It's a good idea in theory, but what's to stop a winner starting a model early before announcing what the challenge will be? I'm not saying that anyone would do that - but for a free PS2 game, who's to say?

If possible, I'd go for the sponsor of the prize suggesting the idea. However, Dan's suggestion of never being able to name the topic twice in a row isn't a bad idea.

Nice and trusting of your fellow man there John.

I just noticed most forums that do challenges do what I suggested and they have no worries.

I can only speak for myself but the prize isn't why I do this, if someone cheats then so be it, I could care less, they're the losers in the end.

And if someone wins all the time they still deserve the reward don't they, the rest of us would just have to do better, good motivation in my eyes.

Read this bit from my previous post because it's a little mind-boggling at first:

quote:I'm not saying that anyone would do that

Just call me "Reality-Man". But how many times have people wished they had 'more time'? A days work can make the difference between a good model and a fantastic one.

But as I said, I thought Mochumbo's idea of not being able to name the challenge twice in a row is a good idea. Im not totally opposed to the winner naming the next challenge, but it does upset the neutrality of the contest.
