Wow {AP}, that looks sick. Congrats on getting most of it done, and keep up the good work!

to not be disqualified from Omnimaga contest, if the entry was submitted to a second contest that ends before ours, the judges would be forced to give their participants the right to decide if their entries are posted in public or not (download link) and when. That way you could ask other contests managers to wait until our contest before posting the download link. I would advise against multiple contests, though, because even if I say this you would still have no control on what the judges will do with the entry, which means they could release it anyway even if you told them not to

I can say that we will not release it and I will confirm this with the other judge. I will also make sure that I do not see the entry until after the Omnimaga contest is over (so that means the other judge judges it) so that I can't steal anything from his idea.

I'm guessing there's no way I can enter Blockage into both contests, is there?
It is a puzzle and a platformer, but I technically would be releasing the game early if I did it in UnSS.
After discussing it, we've decided that you can enter Blockage in the UnSS contest.  The judges of the UnSS contest have agreed to:
(1) not release information or code from your entry until the Omnimaga contest is over
(2) Eeems won't judge your entry or see it until the conclusion of our contest (he's one of the judges)

And just in case you were wondering:  you don't have to submit the same version to both contests, so you'll have two extra months to work on your Omnimaga entry than your entry for UnSS.

Good luck ;D

Awesome. I'll be entering in both then. =P
(should probably go sign up on UnSS soon...)

Progress: The in-game tutorial is pretty much done. (just need the explanation of the scoring system)
Level design in progress and scoring system is still being thought out.

I plan on more screenies, but if I do... it'll only be test levels or new features.
I don't want to spoil any of the real levels before the game is released.

Anyway, that's it for me tonight.
More progress should be made tomorrow.

just a question: how do you store the maps? or is answering that against contest rules? and also, can you go left?

I would recommend against asking/telling information about coding.

yeah it is against the rules to post any code, since it would pretty much be releasing parts of the project and also he can't get direct help with his code
