GiaD... or not

So I had some family issues come up, so although I did manage to start my GiaD yesterday, I've only just now got a chance to work on it again. I'd managed about 4 hours development time before, and there simply isn't any "gameplay" in it at the moment.

Therefore, I expect to be rightly disqualified this year, although I do want to release (and send it as an entry) it tomorrow.

It should involve some player-created shared content, so I'd kindly ask that when it _does_ get released (I'll do a new post), for everyone to take a go at it, regardless of how playable it actually is, so there should be enough data for the game to play on.

Edit: To make up for it, I might attempt a personal 7 games in 7 days challenge later on. :p

Jeff8500	Don't worry, I still didn't start my entry, and I'm not staying up later than 11.

I originally had some pretty grand plans (I took about 10 minutes to read up on some complex vector math earlier today), but homework's taken up a majority of my day.

EDIT: Also, way to be an assuming jackass.

Toadfish	If by "an assuming jackass" you mean "right beyond any reasonable doubt" (did you play your own entry?) then I'll gladly accept that description. If you did try to make something worthwhile in under two hours, you need to rethink what your limits are -- but evidence is to the contrary.

Acebloke	Here is the link but I haven't actually put anything up yet (I'll blog when the game is actually available): http://www.byond.com/games/Acebloke/MetaMorph Just so everyone knows, the gameplay is likely to be quite lacking :p I'm not going to the same level of stress as I did last year.

Acebloke	Oh, and I'm hoping to add medals too, so I might even have an update for AceMedalTable before the end of the month.
