2011 OHRRPGCE 48 hour contest (also Ludum dare) Theme=ESCAPE

Pointing only? That would be cool.


Looks like the themes is chosen by a vote, and the vote starts one week before the contest starts, and that anybody who is entering gets a vote.

We are about a week away from this contest. I am excited.

How many people are planning on participating in the OHRRPGCE 2011 48 Hour contest? (and of those, how many plan on co-entering in the Ludumdare contest?)

Not that you have to declare now or anything. Last minute decisions are still welcome :)

I'm gonna try. But, I will only have the 19th and 20th to make my game. I'm going to be travelling the rest of the days. Isn't that a true 48 Contest? If it's the 48 Contest, why does it run for four days?

Totally doin it

I think the ludumdare site says "August 19th-22nd 2011" because it overlaps friday and monday in different timezones.

I am in California, so for me the contest will start Friday the 19th at 6:00 pm and end on Sunday the 21st at 6:00 pm.

...but if, for example, tmc enters from New Zealand, the contest for him will start on Saturday the 20th at 2:00 pm, and end on Monday the 22nd at 2:00 pm.

Oh, I hadn't realised that there was a specific start time for Ludum Dare; I thought it was "start at some convenient time during the weekend and stop 48 hours later". But I guess I've been spoilt by contests with laxer rules, and that's the way OHR 48 hours contests are usually run too.

I'll enter the contest, but very probably not Ludum Dare.

I actually want to enter both, but I have plans for the whole weekend. So, I won't be.

Withdrawing from this thing preemptively

I plan to enter the OHR portion but probably not the Ludumdare one.

I didn't notice this yesterday, but Theme voting has started. See http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/

Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears to me that you might not even have to be logged in in order to vote.

EDIT: Also, I updated the first post in this thread to talk about how we will be doing our own voting

You do need to log in before you can vote. It is not difficult to register. You should get an account.

Crap. Didn't realize the contest hadn't started yet. Went to check the date, and... that's the day I move in to college and have day-long orientation. I could attempt to make a game on sunday, between all the activities for transfer students, but I think not.

One day left! I can't wait! I really hope I can a game on time...

Oh good god...could the contest start at a more worse time for it to start?! It starts at 11 O'clock...at night. That means I have only one day to make a game...

Three hours! Are you ready? I am ready!
