Hello all you TDC fans out there...And welcome to ZODIAC ATTACK 2013!

Image

WHAT IS THIS?
It's a friendly competition open to anyone here on the TDC forum. I do have a special prize in store for the winner...so keep reading.

HOW DO I ENTER?
You must make a video game that is inspired in some way by the classic Greek Zodiac. Any kind of game, any length, any genre or style is welcome.

WHAT IS THE DEADLINE?
Submissions must have download links posted in this thread by 12:00 GMT, 31st May 2013. As of this posting, you have nearly two months to put something together.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER CRITERIA?
Yes. Here are a few important bits:
- You must include the Zodiac Attack 2013 logo (generously donated by Old Man Clayton...Thanks, man!) as a splash screen at the beginning of your game. You can download it at the following link:

- You must state up front, in this thread, what your zodiac inspiration for your game happens to be.

...And that's it! ENTER TODAY!

WHAT'S THIS PART ABOUT A PRIZE?
Oh yeah...I almost forgot. If I choose you as the best game of the bunch, then I will ship you a CD with all the games included, plus I will send you a special zodiac-themed prize. I will ship it to ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. As long as it's a legitimate address, then I will send it to you.

BUT I NEED SOME INSPIRATION...
Fear not. I've composed a brief page to consolidate some zodiac graphics that just might inspire you to zodiacal greatness:

HAVE FUN!


ANY QUESTIONS?
Then post them below in this thread.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I will post my brief (and constructive) reviews for each and every game entered into the competition.

One last thing: there are no limits to the number of entries you are allowed to submit! So go ahead and make a game for all the different signs of the zodiac (including the mysterious 13th sign...).

Here are some additional logos, again graciously donated by OMC. Feel free to use one of these to meet the splash-screen requirement outlined above:

If anyone wants to donate a prize, then I'll gladly include it. Any suggestions?

Am I barred from entering because I donated the logo?

Because if not, I may actually try to go ahead and make Cancer the Space Crustacean...

I was asking about the Zodiac themed prize. I guess it is going to be a surprize.

Yup, I'm not giving out that information.

After the winner is selected but before I ship out the gift, I will confirm whether or not the prize should be "family friendly" in nature and content. That's pretty much the most detail I will reveal about it.

PRIZE UPDATE/UPGRADE:
Clickteam has offered a prize for the winner: an exporter of your choice, or an upgrade from MMF2 Standard to MMF2 Developer!

I'll also have the ratings I give to all the entries freely available, and reviews will be much more thorough, in an effort to add additional legitimacy to the compo.

...So if my original offer of prizes didn't tickle your fancy, then perhaps this will.

Thanks to Clickteam for this very generous offer.

Top Down Shooter. The bosses of the game are in mechs inspired by the zodiacs and are named after them as well.

I'm stoked to see some info about the upcoming entries here...! I'll have a thread where you can post your screen shots soon.

Does anyone else have an announcement to make about their compo entry?

I think I might share what I have so far for feedback. I'm not so sure this particular idea is worth pursuing.
