Title: One day until the 7DRL competition! Nervous?
Post by: Ex on March 05, 2010, 09:46:52 PM

Hey all you glorious fellow competitors in the 2010 7DRL competition! So, seeing as how the contest starts tomorrow, I thought I'd post something about it today. So how does everyone feel? Nervous? Excited? I'm a bit of both. I'm desperately hoping that I have enough time and work hard enough to make the kind of game I want to. What about you? How do you feel about the upcoming competition? Any worries/plans/ideas/anticipations?

Ruined my CPU and Mobo OCing it a few days ago, it'll be more of a 3DRL for me (pending the mail delivery time) but I'm certainly very excited to even attempt at all. :)

Ouch!

On another forum someone posted that their first commit (I think they're way ahead in time zone) was rejected by Google Code  :-\

Personally I am very excited. My main concern is that, technically, I'll fail. I've never completed a roguelike before. As long as I keep things simple I should be OK, however, I never keep things simple  :D

Same here, george. I've never completed a roguelike myself, and I often fail to keep things simple. I'm shooting for making a real-time sci-fi roguelike that's playable over LAN, and the idea came into my head just this morning in the shower. I'm trying to find my way around winsock.h today before the challenge begins.

So.... yeah, I'm nervous.

This is the worst possible week for a 7DRL, the RNG really played against me this time
