I see all these winter-themed games in here and I was wondering if it had to do with the YoYoGames compo?
Who is entering?
I am! I think Game.Dev could really show the bigshots in GM something (most of them are entering).

I was honestly expecting alot more polish for the chosen entries. :/ I'm sure the really good games will come later on, in the Comp. They always do.

i am NOT happy with the entries guys!
Thin ice 3/winter puzzle! same game? but winter puzzle does the idea better!
i dont classify living snow as a game
puzzle vallay didn't explain what i had to answer in question 2 so -1 for useability
That right there (look up) is MY PERSONAL OPINION! so dont get into a huff over something i sead please :)

? The game must comply with the terms and conditions of YoYo Games as indicated on the website. For example it should be your own original work and you should own the rights to all resources used in the game.
Does that mean using open source or other free resources is not allowed ?
? The game should run through the Instant Play mechanism at the YoYo Games site.
This might be a problem.

I would enter, but I just finished my GM Race entry, and have other things to do. Somehow, I really don't feel like participating in two competitions, one after the other. It's just too much.
How do you use the gm instaplay?
I have a bunch of plans for winter of zombies, and monday afternoon i should have a decent testing version ready, with most of the features.
If i cant enter it into the yoyo games winter competition its not a train smash as i wasnt planning on entering anything with it.

GM Instaplay is a feature on YoYoGames. Just simple upload your game to it, and it will have instaplay. Just read up on GMC for details on whether external files or whatever works.

Yeah, its classic! Mr. Chubigan's game also looks interesting. I still have to play that. I am still busy with my entry, but I am devving on it a bit, then devving on RT2, then my entry, etc. I don't know if I will finish, but I know its a game I want to complete some time.

Why oh why didn't this one come out earlier when I was writing about the Yoyo entries?
The best one I've seen so far.

I was going to enter, but things sadly got in the way. My game is still something I want to finish sometime though (I quite like the idea).

Anything that can be played around with?

Just a quick tip:
Instead of using playnow, you can download a Yoyo game to play later if you just replace "show" with "launch" in the URL.

... or you can scroll down the page and find the download link. :P
Of course, the site's rather buggy in that department ... >.<

O_o When did they add that?
Nandrew

I've always seen it there, myself.
Problem is that it doesn't always work. I know quite a few people have already asked why Yoyo hasn't fixed it yet.
