TV spots are noticably different to actual trailers that frequent the internet - and in the three years that have passed since this competition ran, new klikkers have joined the scene and have created some very stunning looking games that have been released or are in the pipeline. So, this year I'm going to run the competition again! Create a video advert/spot promoting a game of yours and then upload it to YouTube. This is just a fun little competition that will also promote your game - there are no prizes or time limit (since I'm no longer a DC admin I cannot hand out points (only donate them, but I'm a tightwad). One of the last top three entrants has disappeared from YouTube, but the other two (by Phizzy and David Clarke) are still there though: Davids Entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy25-JF2Mqk Phizzys Entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0HmarbQP4I Other adverts that you might want to take a look at for inspiration: Super Mario Kart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzCsRN1qLlA Super GameBoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DsLg1NAdo0 Sonic The Hedgehog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3t3dxCZ5Do Rayman Raving Rabids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoH0qjrW-uI GTA 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vcHFLo3ZOI Wii Games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mftku6Eta-I Animal Crossing DS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJN2mcfGZmw There is no deadline (yet) - anyone interested in giving this competition a go again?

MrPineapple the fruitiest word i know Registered 14/10/2008 Points 1449	4th June, 2009 at 18:02:11 - i agree... but i might well do this when my new game is getting closer to being finished! i am STILL a talking pineapple!
[EclektiK] Possibly Insane Registered 23/10/2007 Points 3763	4th June, 2009 at 18:32:07 - Yeah, I'd like to see this compo again (I missed the original one) But there are too many compos at the same time But I guess making an Ad for a game your making for another compo could work, like those working on the Hilarious compo could make an Ad for their entry. P.S. I can donate points, I don't really use them. And a guy keeps donating me some.
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	4th June, 2009 at 18:39:09 - There are a few competitions floating around, this is true, but not everyone is going to want to enter them. So I just added another one to give an extra option. n/a
[EclektiK] Possibly Insane Registered 23/10/2007 Points 3763	4th June, 2009 at 18:46:03 - Awesome! Well, you can count me in! Just hope the deadline will be around august-september...
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	4th June, 2009 at 19:08:01 - This is a fantastic idea. I will provide DC points as a prize if you'd like, though I don't know if you'll get many entrants what with AndyUK's compo, W3R3W00F's compo, and Black Jaguar's compo...
RedEnchilada formerly RedEchidna Registered 01/08/2008 Points 301	5th June, 2009 at 14:26:56 - Are multiple entries allowed? Because I'm making a puzzle game, and I'd like to promote that, but Drill Bits is begging for an advert. (I could also make a cheesy 80's advert for Snatch, but I don't feel like running around in a monkey costume or renting offices to record in. Plus the whole "I don't have a camcorder" thing.) Hey, Carnivorous id! This competition is calling your name! Edited by RedEnchilada http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYrSD35vHo4 woooooooooooooooooaah maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	5th June, 2009 at 18:02:40 - Yup, this time around you can make one entry per game that you are working on - but not multiple entries for one game. n/a
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	5th June, 2009 at 18:12:53 - And you know, you don't have to have a competition to make commercials for your games just for fun.
Kitsuneh Registered 23/04/2009 Points 21	5th June, 2009 at 18:55:10 - Yay, this sounds like fun x) I have an idea for mai game project thingy~ I CAN HAS SIGNATURE?
JustinC Registered 02/04/2006 Points 1517	5th June, 2009 at 21:23:40 - I'm interested permitted the deadline is sometime in august.

Dr. James MD Addict Registered 08/12/2003 Points 11941	7th June, 2009 at 20:11:15 - Just working on the static material first (don't have Final Cut installed on my new machine ). And ignore the system icons that's all just for added advert effect. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j--8iXVv2_U On the sixth day God created Manchester "You gotta get that sand out your vaj!" x13 www.bossbaddie.com
Klikmaster Master of all things Klik Registered 08/07/2002 Points 2599	7th June, 2009 at 23:59:49 - I definately want to take part in this. I want some kind of futuristic pistol, I think my namco light gun would be perfect if I can find it! n/a
MrPineapple the fruitiest word i know Registered 14/10/2008 Points 1449	9th June, 2009 at 19:50:22 - by they way i'd just like to point out that the trailery thing that i recently uploaded to youtube is NOT my entry! i am STILL a talking pineapple!
Chris Vermilya The Osmer One Registered 17/09/2008 Points 156	10th June, 2009 at 03:13:49 - I have something new that I've been working on that I might want to use for this . I can't wait to post it, just need to finish up a few last things, and talk to some people. And wow, this is the prefect compo for what I was making. Its a survival horror and that's as far as I'll go (as I'm not exactly sure I should of said anything). I was already working on this before I saw this. But anyways, any deadline yet? All hail Chris, Dictator of Christopia
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	10th June, 2009 at 11:07:53 - Any type of video is acceptable as long as it advertises your game and somewhat resembles a TV spot rather than an internet trailer - but all need to appear on YouTube. I have decided on a closing date... August 1st So you've got a fair while yet and it might give you time to focus on other competitions floating around. n/a
MrPineapple the fruitiest word i know Registered 14/10/2008 Points 1449	10th June, 2009 at 11:52:26 - that should be enough time. i have plans for this involving actual camcorders and real live humans and stuff! i am STILL a talking pineapple!

*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	12th June, 2009 at 22:41:54 - Anyone else up for this? I might even have a go (obviously I'm not actually going to compete in this but might do it anyway) n/a
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	2nd July, 2009 at 00:13:10 - Just to bump this topic up a bit, I just want to remind everyone interested in this that there is less than a month left - closing date is August 1st. I'll be flexible about timezones! n/a
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	8th July, 2009 at 15:32:25 - Don't like to bump again - are people interested in this at all? It's all gone a bit quiet n/a
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	8th July, 2009 at 15:39:44 - I'd be interested if I had a nice game to make a commercial for.
Dr. James MD Addict Registered 08/12/2003 Points 11941	8th July, 2009 at 15:41:33 - I have an idea and even a backing track made just for it but I can't nail part of it down. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j--8iXVv2_U On the sixth day God created Manchester "You gotta get that sand out your vaj!" x13 www.bossbaddie.com

Rob Westbrook Registered 25/05/2007 Points 193	8th July, 2009 at 19:58:42 - I'm tempted to enter this. I've been wanting a decent video editing project to sink my teeth into for a while now. Only thing is my current project I've been messing with has no graphics... Ah well, I'm sure I can come up with something! There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't.
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	23rd July, 2009 at 15:21:56 - Just to bump this up yet again, please don't forget that you have until Saturday August 1st 2009 (that's, from the time of this post, 9 DAYS to upload your TV spot entries to YouTube. Please post the links in this thread and good luck if you choose to enter! n/a
