Hello again!
I explained earlier that unfortunately I found the contest only halfway through, so I have a huge doubt... 

I know the game needs to be at least 20 minutes long and will only be evaluated in the first hour, correct? Another thing is that the winning games will be free but the player is free to market and upload anything they want, right? Here's my question: Is the contest project required to have a beginning, middle and end, even if it lasts at least 20 minutes or can it be a kind of demo?

I ask this because I believe I have a good idea but I don't know if in 9 and a half days I can create a game that is both good at arresting the player and not too simple or silly - so I thought I'd deliver something that is complex enough to please but not necessarily complete with all the content, just enough to be a good game but still open. Of course, if I have to deliver a game with a beginning, middle and an end, well then it wouldn't be exactly like my first idea but like the second one, which is maybe not so good.

Hey there and thanks for asking.

The aim of the contest is to do your absolute best. So, if there is no actual rule saying it has to be a complete game, then a "demo" of sorts is just fine. In other words, go ahead and create what is your best, moreso than worrying if it has to have the traditional beginning, middle, and end.

This answer scared me a little :)
Will the judges take into account such attention as the plot, story, atmosphere in the game?

I think everyone focuses on something different. Someone on the technical part, someone on the visual, etc.

Hey there and thanks for asking.

The short answer to your question is "Yes, that and more."

The longer answer is that each judge will use their own criteria in judging. Things such as plot, story, characters, writing, atmosphere, graphcis, audio, music, gameplay, features, etc... all of that can and will be analyzed. The judges are looking to see what they feel is the best of the best.

I hope that answers your questions. Just do your absolute best. :-)

Mi pensamiento es similar: desafortunadamente, solo tomé el concurso con 13 o 12 días para hacer el proyecto y estoy solo, sin equipo. Dudo que esté en el top 3 o sea el mejor para los fanáticos, pero gracias a este concurso y al tema de "tocar las estrellas", tal vez se me ocurrió la mejor idea que he tenido.

No tengo ningún gráfico inédito (aparte de lo que citaré a continuación) o características y complementos extremadamente interesantes o una persona que me ayude (tal vez uno que se traduzca del portugués al inglés), pero hice al menos 90 gráficos. y una especie de "mapa principal" y la idea está formulada en mi cabeza.

Aunque no gané ningún premio, la inspiración vino con todo y voy a hacer la mejor demo que pueda, por el AMOR del RPG !!!
