the built-in pixel movement capabilities are still very new. I suggest that developers focus on their strong areas so as to save time, instead of trying to familiarize themselves with a completely new area of the language when they only have 1 day to do everything.
That's what's so great about the new built-in pixel movement. It's incredibly simple to use, it only took me a few minutes to get myself familiarized with it. I think it would be a very good idea to give developers some incentive to play around with the new features. GIAD entries are small, almost tech demo-like games, right? They're perfect for giving everyone a taste of what's possible and maybe shifting the general perspective away from tile movement, if only a little bit.
I think the timing of the release of pixel movement and the GIAD competition being a few weeks off is almost too perfect to be true. It would be a real shame to pass up this opportunity.

Though it can be taken in different terms, it could be interesting to see faster paced games made with higher FPS and make use of pixel-movement.
Also, I don't think I got an answer as to whether we can use multiple people to work on a project or if it's a solo event.
I haven't written up the official rules yet. In past years this was allowed, so long as the project was submitted by ONE person who would get any credit/money/etc.. I don't see any reason why I'd change this.
Funny poll.
No matter what dates you put, most people will always choose the latest ones. People love to procrastinate. (Including myself, but I chose the earliest one.)
(Also funny that it's a ruse. Sad that I have to wait.)
