The Second Annual Dream On Contest has begun, and this year it's even bigger than the last! And it's even bigger than ever thanks to wraggster! The Dream Coding Grand Prix 2005 has merged with Dream On 2 to provide the biggest contest the Dreamcast community has seen so far! This year, the contest is broken up into three categories:

1) Professional Game Creation - This is the category that was the sole contest last year. Create a polished game for the Dreamcast (multiple levels of play, title screen, music, high scores, etc.) to be released commercially.

2) Amateur Game Creation - This category is to appease the entrants who didn't meet the criteria for last year's competition. The entries in this category don't have to be commercial quality, but they do have to be programmed in C or C++ (SDL or another games library is fine).

3) Anything Goes - This is the fun category. Create anything that isn't included in the categories above (BOR Mods, Games Created in Fenix, Doom/Quake mods, emulators, ports of existing software (with author's explicit permission that this be allowed to be entered into the contest), Applications, Multimedia Software, and anything that you can imagine that we hadn't covered in the above.

Prizes:

Contest 1:
1st place (and possibly 2nd and 3rd depending on quality)
Game Professionally Published on Pressed CD with color inserts and clear case
All games that aren't published will be featured in an upcoming issue of Dream On Magazine, and the game(s) will be included on the demo disc.
Other Prizes to be determined
