The week has been chosen for the Eleventh Annual 7DRL Challenge!
After an unscientific google poll, I realized the ongoing hash shortage means I can't afford to make a proper graph. Damn you twitter! Do you think hashes grow on keyboards?
Feb 21 - Mar 1: 76
Feb 28 - Mar 8: 62
Mar 7 - Mar 15: 94
A discursive analysis of this shows that people still love to procrastinate so bias to the last possible week. The dip on the second choice we guess is due to GDC.
The week for the Seven Day Roguelike Challenge has been chosen!
Within the week of March 7th to March 15th, you are hereby challenged to write a roguelike in 168 hours!
To participate, follow these simple steps:
1) Any time on March 7th or March 15th (as measured in your time zone), register on http://7drl.roguetemple.com
2) Write a roguelike.
3) After 168 hours, if you have completed a playable roguelike, add your download link to 7drl.roguetemple.com! If not, set your status to failed and we will all commiserate and agree that given a few scant more hours, it could have been great.
In case something goes wrong with 7drl.roguetemple.com registration
(It won't!), use rec.games.roguelike.development as a backup.
You are encouraged to use http://7drl.org for blogging your game development.
Good Luck!
I'm not going to post a reminder email here, as the four of us who read USENET likely do not require it.
