Yeah, I think I dropped the ball in this last round. I wanted to add a lot more space for roleplaying between the rounds in Spotlight Harmony because, currently, it feels much more like a boardgame than an RPG, but I basically got to none of that. I've just been copyediting, fixing some broken bits, and rephrasing things to work more generically. I mostly had up until now to get it done because I'm super busy and on vacation for the next week, so I apologize to the original author and Dog Kisser. I'll still send in what I've got in a few days, as some of the fixes will definitely help whoever might run with the project after the competition, but I think it'll only be marginally more complete than the document I received this round.

Alright, third-round entry in. I didn't really change much, just expanded on what was already there. That said, I'd been kind of burned out on game design before I signed up for this little contest and this was a fun way to get back into it -- just doing small bits and pieces, a mechanism there, some lore here, limited to a couple of thousand words a go, that kind of thing. I've enjoyed all three stages and I'm looking forward to seeing what people do with the stuff I made in prior rounds.

I'm very glad you enjoyed it! That was kind of the hope; it's easy to burn out having to carry the torch from concept to execution on a single idea. Plus, working with other people is always more fun!

I've had some pretty serious IRL stuff come up over this past week; I'm going to do my best, but I apologize in advance if I don't submit, or it's really bad.

I'm in a similar spot. I'll do my best to get it in, but the heat lately has been so epochally awful, I've just had no energy for creative endeavours.

By hook or by crook I'll be done with this entry come Sunday. It's not gonna be pretty but it'll be done. Layout is a hell of a thing I have trouble getting a handle on or making look good because I just do everything in Word.

Yeah, my formatting consists of: a) Make sure everything is a consistent font scheme b) Add page breaks so tables don't get split e: 25 entries left to go. DalaranJ fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Aug 14, 2021 |

*Yeets self unceremoniously over the finish line* I'm done. Finally. e: Unsurprisingly, google drive doesn't care what the documents original formatting settings were. Oh, well. DalaranJ fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Aug 14, 2021 |

Done. First one of these I've ever done and happy I got it done a day earlier. This was a good experience of figuring out how to pace myself and chip away at something to make a complete game, but wow did it help that I kept getting other people's stuff or prompts to work off of instead of making it all from scratch.

Since this is the final leg of the jam, is it better to turn in something incomplete tonight or something feature complete in the next few days?

Personally I'd like to see completed versions of games that I worked on so I can post them on my itch.io, but I don't know what's best for the contest.

Well, the main thing that isn't useable-finished is the character classes, so I'm going to send in the rest of it tonight, and send in/make available the second part when it's finished (hopefully tomorrow)

Welp, here's hoping being 20 minutes late and having no formatting besides basic Google Docs stuff is okay. At least it's in?

I had a hectic few weeks, so I'm only half done. Not made the deadline, and won't be ready for a few days. I'll have missed the cut off, but I'll try and get something posted in a few days.

Y'all have turned in some amazing stuff and it sounds like there's till more cooking! Here is the list of entries so far pre:DalaranJ Sćhrímnir JMBosch Tempo City Dreams Hostile V MAGICON LaSquida Shadow of the Moon Wizard Antivehicular In the Court of the Invisible King Lux Animus Skeleton Justice Warriors - Wizards Must Die! In the interest of encouraging fun, creativity, and goodwill, I will be extending the contest for another week. You have until the end of next Sunday, 22 August, to get your final finished really-for-real-complete version of your game in. Formatting is not important but all other forms of content are! Also, as mentioned before, there is no word limit so if you need 2000 words to have playbooks or classes or random generation tables loving rock out.

Sorry, the problem with Pirates! is that it's just... Very good? I'd run it as is! I spent a week banging my head against it and I couldn't think of a clever twist on it!

Just got my revision in; it's probably not as extensive as it needed to be, but it addresses my major concerns with my last design. I'm not particularly pleased with it, but it's at least kinda finished, so that's good?

In under the wire! I ended up taking up the Jolly Roger of Let's Be Pirates. I concur with Dog Kisser that it was already a very strong entry on its own merits, so I mainly applied my own strengths - editing, formatting, and a bit of prose to taste.
