I've totally removed it so Code submit is optional (As stated in the new rules )
The compo is still on just the rules that alquerian decided he wanted are gone now NO MORE NEED TO SUBMIT CODE YAY!

Lol i was getting that idea when everyone said it before after what happened with the fake publishing deal e.t.c and with the rules being changed by the sponsor (Not me i'm glad it's back to normal now) it was going overboard

Not doable, they can have the code, they can use it if they own Torque, but I don't think there is a way to provide the ability to edit the game without breaking my liscence agreement.

Like i said a bit further back or up the page now the 200 usd is gone that's no longer required

Edit:
And "Alquerian" I'm the one setting the rules here not someone who's Supposedly Sponsoring something then try to take over the whole compo

I have tried making animations like that before but it just takes so much time aligning the frames to where there x pixels apart so I can load them so is there some sort program that will do it for me

Well I would love to still offer the prize, however it seems to have complicated matters. I will make a similar offer in the near future with clear and stated rules from the get-go. Sorry if there are any disappointments, however you will have another opportunity in the near future. Chris has decided to withdraw my offer as it has complicated his competition. Good luck on the compo!

@Jeku
give yourself a free I told you so

Alquerian was planning to compile all the code into one package and then wait for some company to come along and buy it
Quote: "
(3:28:15 PM) Chris - In search of 3dws tutorials: i found out what he was going to do wtih teh sourc code
(3:28:31 PM) Jordan ~ --[Fallout Centurion-??]--♫ Macaroni macaroni macaroni macaroni put the cheese...: wut? or is it posted
(3:28:43 PM) Chris - In search of 3dws tutorials: its not posted yet
(3:28:59 PM) Chris - In search of 3dws tutorials: but he just told me he was gonna bundle the source into 1 big game
(3:29:06 PM) Chris - In search of 3dws tutorials: Getit like a myspace thing
(3:29:23 PM) Chris - In search of 3dws tutorials: Then when a company offered him some cash for it sell it all off
(3:29:39 PM) Chris - In search of 3dws tutorials: i can't believe it i mean
(3:29:46 PM) Jordan ~ --[Fallout Centurion-??]--♫ Macaroni macaroni macaroni macaroni...: thats ******** ****
"


*me would ban him if I were a mod

[edited so it wouldn't cause a scrollbar]

edit2:
Chris was just told that though so don't think "well he was in on the scam too"

I just talked to Alquerian on MSN, he's going to post all relevant pieces of his conversation with Chris here. Apparently what Chris said was way off (don't see why he would do that in risk of stopping his own competition).

Let's hope things go well...

Wait one second, this is entire bull. I have a complete copy of my converstaion with Chris. I never intended to sell the games or source derived from this competition.

I am quite disappointed in those who have exercised prejudice on my behalf and those who have jumped to conclusions.

Here is an excerpt from my conversation with Chris:
Quote: "7/6/2006 1:17:52 PM Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo Ethan Quote: "Submitted code may be modified and/or redistributed." So let me get this straight--- we email you the code privately and you turn around and modify it and sell it under your own brand? Hmmm... I would consider if I didn't have to submit my source.
7/6/2006 1:18:24 PM Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo Ethan anyway we can work around the source thing?
7/6/2006 1:18:42 PM Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo Ethan like i can give ya a load of media i've made
7/6/2006 1:19:35 PM Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo Ethan e.g bryce stuff
7/6/2006 1:19:45 PM Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo Ethan and c4d
7/6/2006 1:19:51 PM Ethan Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo no, i dont want to sell it
7/6/2006 1:19:56 PM Ethan Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo i want to give it away
7/6/2006 1:20:15 PM Ethan Chris -Sorting out platfromer compo I will even leave or put their name in the credits (if they aren't already in them)
"


At no time did I ever wish to sell the source code or resulting product(s). I am disappointed in Chris for attempting to defame myself just to save face. Of course things got a little complicated, that is why I had withdrew my offer. I have learned a lesson here, and that lesson is if I am going to converse with someone about things I am going to do so in a public forum.

Also, it really shows maturity to all those out there who have called me a homosexual, gay or an "A-hole", thanks a ton (pun intended).

Yeah, I may be off my hinges, but I do actually believe you.

Chris,

Not falling out with you, just saying maybe this wouldn't have happened had you organised it a little more.

Well, that's it for me, sorry Chris don't care what happened here, I have my suspicions but will not post them since they are not facts. No chance of me entering the comp now, or likely anyone that you start (not to do with who is lying etc but with how this was handled and the immaturity of your posts as the organizer of this competition).

Alquerian, the jury's still out on you, make some meaninful contributions to the forums and who knows.


Heh.. New competion who can make the best Chris vs Alquerian Mortal Combat style.

This could have been a nice and simple contest, where people joined up and enjoyed themselves, but things got complicated, due to disorganisation, the general feel of sponsers/founders to this and lack of trust due to the lack of organisation, I personally didn't give a damn about the prize which is why I thought it would be fun to enter, well we know no-one is going to get that prize, as for the games etc. well, I would suggest to Chris, carry this on, who gives a sh** about the prizes, lets just create something for fun and showcase some platform games made by the community.

I for one am still gonna do it, heck I've almost got all of the code needed to get some levels and media made, all I need to do now is make the AI (Enemies walking and then dying on rocket impact) and give death scenarios.

Also, Chris if you do need any help keep things together on this, just give me a shout.

Nobody is banning anyone for anything. All the evidence is based on heresay.

Because Chris wanted this thread locked, I'll do it.

Good luck with the compo.
