NaGaCreMo Returns! Sign up now!
Yes everybody, it is nearing time to replicate the event that a forumer by the name of zenassem created last year:
interNational Game Creation Month! NaGaCreMo is an event in which game developers make a pledge to create and finish a working program, game or game demo by midnight of January 31st, 2010. The prize is knowing that you were able to put your mind to something and complete a program, or at least a large working chunk of it, which will result in a sense of great accomplishment and satisfaction.
There are a few guidelines...
1-Make your game completely family-friendly, however if you want to make a zombie/apocalypse game then feel free to do so, just exclude excessive amounts of gore and language, drugs and physical-esque things.
2-You can either use your own media or use royalty free media. The choice is entirely up to you!
And most importantly...
3-
Have fun!
You must sign up by posting a reply in this thread that includes:
I, __________________________, pledge to finish a working [game\demo\general program] within the first thirty days of 2010.
Those of who want your signature to show the NaGaCreMo banner that Virtual Nomad so generously created, copy and paste the following link into your signature box:

Thanks to BMacZero for making that easier on everybody!
Also, you can use whatever game creation software you like as long as it's from TGC (this only applies if you want to create a WIP thread of your project). This includes FPS Creator, DarkBASIC Classic, DarkBASIC Pro, The 3D Game Maker, LeadWerks, etc,. You can also use XNA and C# if you want, and even C++ or any other programming language (BlitzMax/Blitz 3D, anyone?), but you won't be able to create a WIP thread in these forums about your project, as they're for TGC only products. The choice is entirely up to you!
Well, that's it. I'll be updating this post with a list of people who have pledged to finish a project when people sign up! Keep in mind that anybody here is completely welcome to participate.
