The contest will close midnight January 31st, that gives us just 19 days from today.

In all previous competitions the submission period was 3 months, but I decided to go with 2 months this time around, as I did not want to drag it out if participation was lacking.

Already we have surpassed last years competition in number of submitted games, 11 games submitted in last year's competition in the same time period (Dec 1st to Jan 12th), compared to 27 now.


So, the question is, do we want to extend the competition by 1 month, so 3 months in total? Or are we satisfied with the 2 month period?



Personally, I've been working on a couple of games, and it seems to drag out into eternity to finish I wouldn't mind having an extra month, just to be able to get more ideas and stuff. But I'll bow to the wishes of the community

Pressure's good. Maybe an extension of a week in which new games can't be entered but people can fix last-minute bugs, but the reasons for shortening it in the first place seem sensible.

Also, "a couple of games"? Is that an implicit answer to my question a few threads down?

vote: extend!

I've yet to realy get started, and am currently stuck redecorating my room

Let's extend it. 

Great! I'm going to give it a go as well

It's been extended!

My entry won't be megaman quality, but its nevertheless fun 1.8K so far, and playable. whee. Not very pleasing on the eye though... 

If I don't see any objections to this idea, then it will be so.

Yup. We will do this. Entire March 1st.

Can you update java4k.com with the time extension information?  Thanks.

Thanks for insisting on the site update, and thanks for updating. So I should be able to finish my game without spending a whole night on it !
