The game I will be releasing in a day or two >:)

Think you can put a list of the submissions on the contest page, BoMToons?

Guess it doesn't really matter.

When some more get submitted I'll make a list somewhere...also Tom mentioned making a collection page for the competition.

As for educational games- I'm not sure if those are too good. Kids don't like learning.

I'll probably try to get in one of those values though. But is it important to do this?

Very nice, this is my favorite entry so far, though little to compare it with at the moment.

Still only 3 entries...considering extending the deadline?

Very nice game! The art was well done and I thought the music went very well with it. It lagged a bit for me though, but I have a slow computer.

Bomtoons: I forgot if I asked this before, but we are allowed to use audio portal music, correct? We don't have to only use the music provided?

And I need people's opinions on my game idea. I realized 'Wiggi Olympics' would be too ambitious, but what about 'Wiggi Aquatic Games?' I have an engine done for a scuba diving game, and there could be water skiing, surfing, etc.

I know I've been aiming to submit a game, but unfortunately one look at actionscript makes my brain shut down. @__@;

I also don't want to have to ask for help on AS, either... 'coz that means I'd have to risk splitting the reward. :)

I'm still trying, though. I've got some graphics put together (shown below), but nothing works yet. XP Hopefully I can get some AS books (for Dummies) and cobble something together.

I'd be willing to code your game for you for only a 30-70% split.

PM me about this please.

Yeah, any non-copyrighted music is allowed.

And, no, the deadline will not be extended...there's still over a month left, let's see some more good games!

As for the icy tower one, I really enjoy the concept, but it seems to get too fast too quickly...I didn't even get to a rocket before I got swallowed up. Also, the art work is a little sub-par to what I'd like to see...especially the menus and HUD...oh and making the kids just smaller scale wiggies bothers me...I think they should be more proportional but with big eyes or something so they look like baby or young wiggies, not just small wiggies.

I also thought it was weird that the platforms were on top of the wiggi.

Yes, sir!

It'll probably take us the entire month to finish our game, so hopefully it is done in time.

Also, nice artwork, sillie-stungun-millie.

Yay 100$ :D Hopefully more monay will ensue.

I'm going to take your advice. I'm working on the design a little bit, trying to make it better and such. I'll show it when I'm done.

Hmmm... I am thinking about possibly doing something for this contest.
Is it or is it not possible for two people to co-author and if they win the 1st place, they can split it into two sections of $2,000 each?

As many people as you want can co-author and you can split up the winnings however you want, you just need to specify the details in the email you send us with your submission .fla.

So the characters have to be those damn wiggi's.

Unfortunate, I was thinking of making something kind of like, african detroit cop.
But like, the kid makes good choices or bad choices... you know?

Can we use the engine provided in you fla or doesn't it have to be original. Thanks.

You can use that engine, but you better add A LOT to it if you want a chance at winning.

Bomtoons, you are kind of like...inspiration to me.

But that would mean that his mouth was INSIDE his penis.

Either Bomtooms has a huge penis or devo has a really small mouth.

GRAMMER NAZI's AHOY!

Like pancakes. Pancakes made of methane.

You mentioned that we have to tell you how to split the money when we send you the files, but, for us, it really depends on what place we get. Can we tell you how to split the money once we know the amount?

Also, how should we be sending you the file? Can I just put it on putstuff.com or something? Also, do you want the .FLA to the Newgrounds version as well, or just the WiggiWorld one?

I guess these questions aren't too important right now, but I want to do something to make this thread a little more appropriate/focused so it doesn't get locked.

It's not going to get locked, considering it's an official contest thread.

You can't just tell me a percentage split?

Send it to the email address listed on the official contest page: http://www.wiggiworld.com/contest

The things people will do for a buck ... :P

Well, there are more than 2 of us involved, so it'd get a bit confusing...but if I need to give you a percentage, I will.

I'll worry 'bout that later.

Also, congrats Sheik for the first FP bonus. The game is quite addicting :)

Here is what I've finished so far on my game. It runs best in Opera and IE. I still have to optimize some things, because it runs terrible in Firefox...
The purpose of the game it to teach kids to make healthy decisions(ie exercise, eat healthy...) and avoid dangerous things (ie knives, unhealthy foods)
I'm thinking about removing a couple stars to make the game less intensive, but we will see.

Also, any suggestions on more objects you should avoid/collect

Ok, my 1st suggestion is to optimize it to prevent lag. Even in ie it was way laggy. It's probably due to all the filters you're using. A lot of the stuff could be drawn exactly the same way without filters (ie: thick white outlines). Also, you can try using .png files exported from photoshop instead of using flash's built in drop shadow filters. Lastly, use more "cacheAsBitmap" because a lot of the stuff, since it doesn't scale, wouldn't hit the cpu as hard if it were cached as a bitmap.

As for gameplay, I'd love to see a progressive bg...like, from the depths of the earth (molten lava etc) up through different levels of the earth's crust, then into the sky, then into the atmosphere, then into space, past some planets, etc...kinda like that wonchop game that came out a while back...but if you labeled the levels then it might even be educational..."stratosphere!!" Also, I'd like to see some powerups for the level of control, so the guy's momentum gets more easily controlled...also, it'd probably be good to flash up what the good stuff is and what the bad stuff is right before the game starts...and also give some feedback in the HUD when you hit something good and when you hit something bad.

Otherwise, you've got some of the nicest menus and graphics yet. Keep up the good work!

P.S.

Have a short mini game at the start that determines your initial speed....like a "click the mouse when the power is at its peak" game.

Well, there's all ready been a game where you have to collect good food for positive points, and bad food for negative points (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/385756 ) so maybe do...

Good- Books, toys, etc.
Bad- Pointy stuff (like you all ready have)

BoMToons is quite helpful here, hope I finish in time to get some feedback from you :)
