Techority 48 Hour Challenge 2012

peach_pellen · December 1, 2011, 9:56pm

Hey everyone,

I wanted to know how many people would likely be interested in participating in the Techority 48 Hour Challenge if I were to run one again this year.

If you could post or tweet at me to let me know it would help me work out whether or not enough of you are interested to make it competitive and fun.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the challenge, here is the page from last year; http://techority.com/techority-48-hour-challenge/

Naturally prizes are still undecided and I’ll be asking around later for sponsors if there’s enough interest.

It would once again be held in the last weekend of February.

Is this open to small teams or a solo thing? [import]uid: 64112 topic_id: 18509 reply_id: 70982[/import]

I’m not sure yet; all details can be decided when I work out who is interested, what they’d like to see, etc [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 18509 reply_id: 70984[/import]

Hello Peach!

You know…I would LOVE to participate BUT maybe only in 2013 cause by now my brain cannot due to it`s lack knowledge unfortunately. :\

BUT I`ll be looking for the winners.
Cheers!

A programmer and an artist would be nice.
I do stick figures and shapes, but i’m not very good at it.

Super cool sounding event. Would be so nice to be able to participate, but finishing up the final details of my game while holidays coming up (which will delay me a couple of weeks), etc., etc., etc… I don’t think I have any bandwidth left for super intense event like this. I’ll be looking for the winners, just like Rodrigo, though.

Cheers,

Stewart, last year if I recall people could work with a 2nd person for art/sound/etc if they wished. (Although FYI you can grab some decent free art off clker.com if that interests you.)

Rodrigo, that’s cool - next time

Naomi, it wont be until the last weekend of February so if you change your mind I’d encourage you to get into it. (I’ve seen lots of your posts and you’re clearly up to a challenge.)

Tyler - thanks - it was you who finally got me off my butt to make a post about this

@peach,

Hey I would love to be apart of this if I can actually finish the current game I am working before then!! And if we can work in small teams) [import]uid: 51459 topic_id: 18509 reply_id: 71072[/import]

peach_pellen · December 2, 2011, 7:20pm

Thanks for the interest everyone.

I hope to figure out some details over the weekend.

Those of you who want teams - are you thinking 2 people, 3 people? I have to plan ahead as obviously there will need to be a way of judging fairly that doesn’t disadvantage anyone based team numbers.

Depending on the date I’d defiantly join this if I have the time. [import]uid: 69700 topic_id: 18509 reply_id: 71192[/import]

shane.lipscomb · December 2, 2011, 7:46pm

Sure, I’m up for it. I think the challenge will offer a nice break from whatever I’ll be working on at the time (which, at my current speed, will still be what I am working on now). [import]uid: 64596 topic_id: 18509 reply_id: 71195[/import]

Puzzle_Runner · December 2, 2011, 7:57pm

I could participate if it were on a weekend, otherwise I work full-time so I wouldn’t have the full 48 hours to work on it. [import]uid: 36054 topic_id: 18509 reply_id: 71202[/import]

jakescarano · December 2, 2011, 8:06pm

Hey peach! Count me in for 2) maybe;) [import]uid: 51459 topic_id: 18509 reply_id: 71204[/import]

peach_pellen · December 2, 2011, 11:37pm

It would be the 25th and 26th of February. (That’s the last Saturday and Sunday of the month.)

More details to come.
