    ANDYBMXBandit and Jarr3tt88 are proud to present The first annual "Create-a-Mini Game Competition"

    There have been plenty track building competitions over the past 9 months Trials Evolution has been out, but so far there have been zero geared towards skill games or mini games! Well here is your chance mini game builders! The first Create-a-Mini Game competition is here!

    I've seen that a few comps have sprouted up yesterday so this might seem overkill haha but, I assure you this has been in talks for a few weeks now. There are a couple of ways this competition can go, so I would like some input from those that are truly interested. Please feel free to post ideas, I'll give a few here as starters. ANDY and I are of the belief that these games should NOT include the bike and/or the rider, but given that not many have the expert game making skills, it would probably be more beneficial to keep all game options open. Obviously we are looking for unique original skill/mini games.

    Rules
    Entrants must create a mini game or skill game
    Must be a new game released no earlier than Jan 24th (we will check all entrants released tracks to make sure its not a re-release)
    New original ideas, please (can be classic arcade or board games but as long as it hasn't been on TC before)
    No game restrictions (bike and rider allowed but slightly discouraged)
    Game Length (You can make a game any length you want, but most likely the longer the better)
    Only ONE submission allowed, no changing/substitutions. If you release a game, but might make a different one, don't submit until March 30th in case you have time to make that other game *No place holders*
    Team submissions are allowed.
    Judges allowed to submit entries, but the judge entered will not score their own game.

    Deadline - Submissions Will be accepted from Jan 24th-April 5th 11:59pm (last time zone which ever that is)
    Judging - up to two weeks. Depending on quality of games/# of entrants


    *Side note- Even though we are giving the option to release a game even today, we highly suggest all entrants take advantage of the nearly two month build time and make a complex original game! There are tons of tutorials I linked below. Lots of forum posters around here help when questions are asked.

    If you never made a complex game before or are unfamiliar with the tools, I would suggest making a smaller game to learn the tools, then make your main submission.


    Scoring Categories
    - Originality
    - Aesthetics (Overall look of the level/game, level of polish)
    - Playability
    - Re-playability
    - Fun Factor (How fun is the game?)
    - Gaming consistencies (Are there same results every time?)
    - Stability (can users break it easily)
    - Coding complexity (More complex games = higher points)
    - Ease of use (Good instructions, well thought out controls)
    - Medals

    Scoring will have 10 categories, each category can have maximum of 10 points for a total of 100 points. All scores will be averaged.


    Prizes
    1st - 4,000msp OR Gold Edition/2,400msp
    2nd/3rd - 2,400 OR Gold edition/800msp
    4th - 1,600msp OR Gold Edition

    Random (Lucky Dip) - Signed Trials Flag!! Will be chosen via Roulette game by JaminBen007
    Please Pick a Number 1-36, Color: Red or Black, AND Even or Odd.
    *In the event of a double tie.....the higher ranked entry will take color precedent*

    Remember.....Testing is the MOST important in mini games. Try and find ways to break your game, us judges will. Hope this will be fun for all! Looking forward to the submissions and new unique game ideas!

    Good luck to all that enter!

    Re: Create-a-Mini Game Competition [Ideas Phase]

    I would make one but I am really terrible with complicated tools and such.

    Then again I could just make the track I have been thinking of into a in flames(that is possible in EVO right?)

    everything is posible except the bonebreaking skillgame and i know atleast 1 person is still trying to make it, although he doesn't know if he will succeed because certain tricks need to work

    i'm in for the contest not sure what to make yet, maybe i'll make my td3 and add those new ideas i have that require me to recode everything

    I think all of you skill game designers have a potential programmer in you so why not give it a try? The editor can teach you so much and I'd say it's the shortest and the most fun path to learn game logic. Imagine it as asking yourself a question and answering it with the blocks.

    Re: Create-a-Mini Game Competition [Ideas Phase]

    I'm glad to see some interest! ANDY had the same idea as me about making a track for advertising. I hope to get lots of people on board. Who knows, maybe some will enjoy the challenge and make more mini games in the future! I'd love to see the quality of mini games increase from don't move #748392 and impossible 2389205.

    No one has feedback for the competition theme?

    I guess we'll just go with

    Any game, no restrictions.

    Do you really think we would have to restrict that? Dunk games would get all zero scores from all the judges, I can almost guarantee that haha Throw in golf, cannon shoots, golf. dont moves, stairs, impossibles. etc.

    If someone is making a bball game, it better be REAL bball with perfect moving characters. Same goes for golf....with different clubs, power, 18 holes...a REAL course.

    You must not have had THD.....Bone break was one of the original mini games.

    A good tip, if you want high scoring game, its going to have to be more than like 20-30 seconds. The more complex the better! All the judges have tons of editor knowledge for mini games, which is why they were selected. To understand and appreciate what will go into these games.

    I'm really excited for this comp, I hope more people will get involved! Gotta show these "trials purists" that even the mini games can be fun too
