The 2006 PGD Annual Game Development Competition

**WILL** · 18-12-2005, 01:26 AM

That time of year is coming up again. It is soon time for PGD's annual competition and with that, I am pleased to annouce that on Jan 15th, 2006 the 2006 PGD Annual Game Development Competition shall commence!

The competition rules shall be released on the morning(GMT) before the start of the competition.

We will be allowing teams or individuals much like we did last year. Releasing your source will be optional however you will be required to submit a packaged executable with all game files for the targeted platform(s) supported.

Prizes, judges, rules and all further needed information will be posted within a weeks time before the start date of competition. For now, I suggest gathering your teams, tools and ideas for Jan 15th. Contest will be running for a total of 16 weeks, ending on the May 7th where we will award the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners with their prizes. We will also be honouring those in the competition that show great ability in specific areas of development.

We have high hopes for a fun competition and it should be a very successful event for 2006. Stay posted for further information as it comes.

May the best win! All you Pascal Loverz !!

b.t.w. would it be nice to post this at the Gamedev.net or would this be a waste of effort (because this is mainly a C++ site..?)

Would be a good idea, there might be some pascal codes on GameDev.net who don't know about this site....

I know Dom usually posts on the borland news groups and forums as well.

I know there are a few Delphi coders at http://www.retroremakes.com. They might be inclined to have a go at it as well.

Nice one, Looking forward to this and definatly planning on entering this year.

I've posted to the Borland forums, has anyone posted the news to GameDev or RetroGames?

**WILL** · 19-12-2005, 03:03 PM

I've posted to GameDev.net, but as usual they are dragging their feet. On the other hand, they have posted about us before so...

I have posted on DevMaster.com though. They were quite quick about it too. I've also posted to ModPlug.com about the contest and the site. I hope that this will bring more musical tallent to the site aswell as the competition.

So whats the link to the forum topic?

I'll post on afterwarp.net about this too (and make a permament schedule link).

It seems we are getting more activity there than here on PGD :?
