omg over 400 dollars for making a flash game? you rock :)

I'm totally going to be in the sequal, are the rumours you got extra awards for submissions that make frontpage true :P ?

[Olly]

Well done everybody

[Amish]

I enjoyed the contest, I'm glad people are fueling up the industry, and "cahenn what do you mean by extra cash for frontpage, how much?"

[DrNeroCF]

I really don't post much, but I really got to say, I love seeing people actually going out of their way to encourage artists to do what they do best. Someone mentioned that you're getting MrJiggmin to make red earth 3, sounds hella sweet if that's true. Hm, money for flash... I really gotta join this thing...

[Cahenn]

I think they're going to pay you more money if your submission makes frontpage, Inglor said something about it, I should stop talking about it now or he'll be mad at me, i guess this isn't the right forum since inglor told me not to spread the rumours :P

yours wasn't bad, it was nice, don't worry, you'll win something this time

[AloneInTheDark]

Ehm their are tons of websites that will pay you money for a good flash. Especially games. TGSNT even gives away over 20 000 dollar worth of prizes to the best 4 animations of the year. So it isnt such a special thing

[Cahenn]

isn't tgsnt only for animations?

[Inglor]

yea, as far as i know tgsnt is for animations...

there is a reason why we have prizes for the first 10 places

[Deathcon7]

Well, i'd love to join, but I'd need an artist to back me up and somebody to bolster my motivation, as well as to come up with an original storyline and gameplay. I'm really swamped at the moment though, so if you get everything put together, the artist that is, then I'll be able to AS it, so long as I get partial credit.

Oh, and if this isn't some sort of recruiting, then ignore the above. Anyways, the competition was very appealing, as I love LotR, but I just never had the motivation to join. I'm too lazy with this stuff. Anyways, congrats to the winner and I hope the next, if there is a next, gets as much response. Nice work though.

[Toast]

I was making a game but I didn't have enough time,I heard about it 2/3 weeks before the deadline ):

Congratz Scribbles and BBQ,I think bob was the best.Did you notice that the 2 best games are made by synj forumers?
I think I will start a game now,so I will have a lot of time before the deadline of the second contest.

[Inglor]

[NegativeONE]
