Ok so I was wondering who was entering the Axe contest now, as a lot of people who participated lost their project or stopped and some other people may have joined later, so now I don't know anymore? Remember the contest ends on September 16th 2010 at 12 AM GMT-5 DST, by the way.

Now that I have some time at school, I might begin anew. I was thinking a tech demo for my action-oriented game, because I won't have enough time for any actual content.

I'm entering. (kinda obvious to those who've checked the topic on Nostalgia.)

Btw remember that if you are making a large game, it doesn't need to be finished to be entered. However, if it's a demo or beta, it has to be functional, offer enough features and be as stable as possible to have a chance to compete. If I try a game that crashes every 3 minute it may not get a very good score and people may not vote for it..

Your parents won't let you install computer softwares, right?

I will probably, I just got a great idea to follow through with in axe

I clicked yes because I'm pretty sure I'll make it by the 15th (been working on it every chance I've gotten at school). I just finished the horizontal collisions today, actually. Here is a screenshot just showing off some tiles and the character sprites. I'm not going to go into much detail about it right now (mainly because I'm still a bit unsure about a lot of things ), but what I can say for sure is that there will be 3 different room sizes (24 x 16, 48 x 8, and 12 x 32), and there will be about four rooms per-level. Also note that you won't be able to fly in the actual game  .

Ok now that's just epic win o.o. Nice graphics and I like the scrolling too. Can't wait to see jumping and stuff being added. Will this be a puzzle game or a game with enemies like Mario?
