Information for all Genesis contestants: deadline is soon!

[wololo]

Greetings to everyone who's submitted (or plans to submit) an entry to the Genesis competition.
The deadline is soon (may 29th).

If you have submitted your entry recently but still didn't hear from us, please don't worry, we are still processing new entries, and we will probably do so even after the 29th, we will of course accept/reject your entry based on when you posted it, not based on when we review it.

If your thread is locked and you believe you haven't heard from us, please contact me or npt by PM asap. A locked thread means that the entry is rejected, but in most cases we are willing to solve the issue with you.

The official list of accepted entries is here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3030. We are still updating it, adding new entries.
If your homebrew is not there but you believe it should be, or if the link to your homebrew thread is incorrect, please contact me or npt asap. If you submitted your homebrew recently, please read the paragraph above, before contacting us.

Once the deadline is reached, we will create a package of all the latest entries, that will be sent to the judges and the sponsors. If, in this process, we find that your entry is not following the rules, we might end up rejecting it. This is why it is important that the first post in your entry's thread contains a clear link to the latest version of your homebrew, the one that you want us to judge. This version has to follow the rules of the contest (don't forget the splash screen). If your entry has been accepted a while ago, and you didn't update it since that time, there's nothing to worry about.
Again, if we find something wrong, we will do our best to contact you and solve the issue

There are many entries in this contest, so judging will take some time. Additionally, some of our sponsors will held their own judging on their forums, etc... we (npt and myself) don't control the schedule of all the sponsors' prizes.
In other words, please be patient as we judge your entries

I will probably say it again, but I am amazed at the quality of the entries we've received, this is the best contest ever

Are you people going to organise the compo next year also ?

[wololo]

There's officially no such plan, but I never say never

That's would be cool to make a competition for next year !
Because the NGP will be released and I haven't enough money to buy this.

So May 30th 12:00 AM is out,

May 29th 11:59 PM is in. Is there a specific time zone in mind? Apologies if one is said somewhere.

I'm just cutting this super close and wondering if I need budget a few more/fewer hours or something. Thanks in advance.

[wololo]

We'll be flexible. If it's still may 29th somewhere in the world when you post it, it'll be in

[Kasumi]

That's the best news I've heard this week. Thanks so much.

You should give the time UTC (or GMT) for the deadline since some countries have this fcking advanced time in summer and some not (I'm completely lost with conversion cause of this).

[wololo]

it's a 3 months contest, we are not measuring if people are late by 1 or 2 hours. We're not bureaucrats. Just, don't cry if you submit your entry on the 31st of may and you get rejected.

Good to hear. I'm a specialist in last hours various disasters like version crash, internet connection lost, electricity shortage, gaz explosion, plane crash and apocalypse . Anyway I'll do my best to ship the as many features as I can in the final release.
