Here is some sudjestions that I'll pull out of my head... All tentave, lets talk each one of them over. *** The deadline for game submition and judgement should be at least 3 or 4 months from now, to give even people who haven't started a chance to enter. *** We need to find some people who are willing not to enter the contest so that they can be a judge. Maybe some Sony employees? *** All games must totaly abide by the liscencing agreement, including all copyright notices... *** Games cannot infringe on anyone's copyrights... IE: You can't make a new version of crash bandicoot, even if you do acknowladge that rightful owner. We want origionality. *** You must enter a game, not a demo. *** Games can be entered by individuals, or by groups. *** Entry should be judged on several things... Graphics, gameplay, music, sound, and control; rather than "oh, I like this game". We should work out a judgement sheet, IMHO... *** Only SCEA members can enter. (I just threw this one up in the air for everyone to decide on. If everyone else wants to to be a SCEA, SCEE, and SCEI contest then I'm all for it) Just remember thoes all all sudjestions, everybody add your own, and if you see one you don't agree on lets talk it over. I'm pretty excited about this. I'll start working on some logos. er... First we need a name for this contest. GDUS? The Yaroze Contest? The First Semi-Annual Unofficial SCEA Net Yaroze Contest, or FSAUSCEANYC? ... ok, maybe that last one won't work, but anyone got some good ideas? -- 'Darco darco@NOSPAM@bigfoot.com (Replace "@NOSPAM@" with an "@" to email me) UIN: 1454810 (You can page me at http://wwp.mirabilis.com/1454810) Voria: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/voria PGPKey: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/pgpkey.txt
