Dream On Contest Ending Soon

This is just a reminder that the Second Annual Dream On Contest ends in less than a month. You have until 11:59PM PST on November 10, 2005 to get your entries in.

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, C++, or SH4 Assembly (SDL or another games library is fine).

3) Emulator Creation - Create or port (with the author's explicit permission that this be allowed to enter into the contest) an emulator for any system for the Dreamcast.

4) 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.

Hello Metafox, this is Ron , from Staff of DCiberia.net and as you can see here making some support.

From DCiberia, we want to present all works together. Now, we're preparing splash screens and documentation, readmes, and additional info about every piece that will be included in our contribution.

A soon as possible, I would like to contact you for receiving final instructions for docs, formats, and FTP for uploading.

Every single game, emulator or whatever will include binaries ready to run on Dreamcast and source code, we're very happy to present all the work done by spanish dreamcast sceners that meets at dciberia.

Good luck to all, we're really excited with the only idea of the participation, that's a thing that motivates a lot, and remember that in this DreamOn Contest 2005 the winner is the whole dreamcast scene and the dreamcast lovers keeping and taking care of the Dreamcast culture.

it seems that the contest is going to be a success (i.e. lots of entries)

MetaFox, I've uploaded my entry to the FTP you sent me yesterday.

Let me know if the files were received Ok. :)
