ABS Showdown Contest

@Holk: You think I would PAY (in form of a prize for the winner) to prove that my ABS is "the best"? LOL!

You say this like it's a thousand dollar giveaway. It's twenty bucks.

But anyway, I hope it goes well, whatever the motives. My money's on NAMKCOR and Zylos.

lol, thanks for the vote of confidence

C'mon, people! We need a higher variety of ABSes! We have Blizz-ABS, XAS and Behemoth ABS so far. Is nobody here going to sign up using NeoABS, RTH-ABS or Prexus ABS? Or at least more people using XAS or Behemoth?

I would sign up to work with XAS since it looks wonderful but I really can't understand the comments and demo since it's in Spanish, and I need those because I'm not experienced with scripting. ;-;

there's a translated version, Redwyn, just search a little harder

Just check the first post in a few moments, Nagai Kyoukai / Redwyn. I'll try to find it myself.

EDIT: o.o I can't find it myself anywhere. If you find it, let me know.

Okay, well, thank you very much for trying, I really appreciate it :]

I'll try looking for it soon. ^^

NAMK found it. I updated the first post.

EDIT: Alright, people! The contest starts in around 35 hours. Be sure to check whether there are new ABS versions out (i.e. Blizz-ABS is now v2.2) and prepare to get started. Keep in mind that you can upgrade your ABS version anytime.

*double posts* One hour until the contest starts The signups are officially over. Get to work, guys. You have 15 days. (I hope that I won't get in trouble for bumping this topic. o.o )

*bloody multipost* o.o

Alright, somebody requested an extension of 7 days on the deadline. First I was against it, but it might be a good idea after all. I think that it would be more fair if it was only 3 days, though, because of the people who organized their time better. In any case I have sent out e-mail asking you to vote whether you are for the extension or against it. The poll is over in 48 hours. If more than 50% of all participants vote with Yes, the deadline will be extended by 72 hours. And I just realized that my mailing list isn't up to date...

I still say 3 days is best. An extra three days isn't too much more time to work with, but it could be enough to make a big difference to some people. A lot of people could use more time to finish up, and seeing how NAMKCOR and I have been working our tails off to get this done by the deadline, 7 extra days is just pushing it.

Not everybody has voted, but all votes so far have been YES. That means the deadline has been postponed by 72 hours. You have 3 more days to finish the game.

ok lol

Good luck Nammy

The contest is over. Only 2 people have submitted their game (I thought 3 people would): NAMKCOR and Landith. I'll send the games to the judges in a few minutes after preparing everything.

A raring success, I see.

Yeah. :/ It's probably the time I picked to organize the contest. Everybody's usually busy during Christmas. I was actually going to organize it before Christmas, but NAMK couldn't during that time so I postponed it for him. xD

Oh well, I hope the other contest in the middle of February will be better off. At least it will be a different concept with less limitations.

Alright, the few judges that have actually responded have rated the games. Here is the ranking:

1. NAMKCOR & Zylos
2. Landith

Landith will finish his game in a few days and release it personally. I will see if I can foward the link to everybody else. NAMKCOR will re-release his game after a few fixes as Blizz-ABS example game so stay tuned.

The contest was rather a failure, but at least I've learned not to organize contests during winter break. xD I hope that the next contest will go through better.
