At the time of writing it is about 1 AM Eastern Standard Time (GMT - 5). It means the compo started almost an hour ago. Sorry for not announcing it earlier. Anyway, you can start making your games.

Oh, and for those of you who want a fairly stable executable for Windows that has been compiled between now and the 2007 release, please grab this: http://www.bananattack.com/stuff/verge.exe It's not "official", so I make no guarantees, but it should work.

Oh, and if you're interested in becoming a judge rather than an entrant, please get in contact with either me or McGrue. Or leave a message in the talkback here. Thanks.

With that said, I wish everyone good luck! Make many awesome M-related games.

Also,Kildorf is a smelly joke of a man, barely worth being my arch-nemesis.

I'm in. I discovered Verge almost ten years ago and I still haven't made a single goddamn game with it. May as well start now.
I'm not using Lua, though. I'm too old-school for that.

Oh, and just so everyone knows, there's a channel called #m on irc://irc.lunarnet.org which is for this game contest. You can also use the Java IRC client if you wanted to poke around (see "irc" in the links for verge-rpg.com above)

Just out of curiosity and to make sure I get my entry in on time...

It's Sunday morning through Wednesday night, right? By my count, that's 264 Hours of VERGE.

Fair enough. I didn't do any work on Christmas anyway.

I've yet to participate in an HoV with a correctly calculated time window / deadline.

That aside, I do have some serious questions:

  • Have judges been found? If so, who are these unproductive scoundrels charming folks?

  • Is there a set judging system / criteria, or are we just subject to a judge's whim?

  • How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
