I finally overcame a really big hurdle in the development of my project, but with just 12 days left (10-11 if I want to allow time for playtesting), it's still going to be a tight fit.
Anyway, I has another question: Are we allowed to lock event groups when we send you guys the source, or does it all have to be unlocked?

I wouldn't worry about rushing it in time for the deadline If it's work you're pleased with, take your time and release it after

I could... but then again, my post was moreorless idle complaining. I don't intend to give up until it's obvious I stand no chance of finishing in time.
I'm not very good at finishing projects in general, so like Super Ecksdee Panic, this would be a way of forcing myself to make realistic goals and come out with something that exemplifies my passion for game design. It's tough, and I'm worried I might not make it, but I won't let that train of thought stop me from trying my absolute best. And I kinda hope that everyone else does too so that we have an awesome lineup of games that'll make the judges scratch their heads with indecisiveness.

Strife: The event groups would need to be unlocked. But don't worry, we will not distribute sources to anybody. Only the judges will see the source code and once the competition entrants have been rated, the source files will be deleted.
Hope this is ok

Ugh, I know, right? I still have four missions and two bosses to complete, and that's not counting the music that still needs to be done. Hang in there, guys.
A few tips for cutting corners:
- Recycle graphics in the later stages, but recolor or resize them to distinguish them from earlier stages.
- When making new enemies, try mixing pieces of earlier enemies together, or make recolors with slightly more pronounced features (i.e. horned elves, jetpack elves, etc.)
- If your game has a story and you can't figure out what to do next, go with a completely unexpected plot twist. If you can't think of an ending, remember that it's the season of giving, so maybe have your protagonist make peace with the enemy.

I had to create a game for my Game Design course so I figured I'd make it christmas themed and do 2 birds with 1 stone
I've got it completed and all that fancy pants stuff now, so consider it submitted or whatnot
Gridquest V2.00 is out!!

3 Bosses, 10-15 enemies, and like 6+ levels to go here . Most of the stuff is already drawn and/or animated.
Making excellent progress though and I work very well under deadlines so . . . :>

I've finished my entry, barring bug tests and adding names to credits, etc.
http://www.create-games.com/forum_post.asp?id=281299
If anyone wants to bug test before I submit the game, definitely let me know. This might be a good opportunity to check out the competition for the competition, haha. I worked like a dog on this one, and good luck to everyone else.
