Sonic Hacking Contest 2016

Erm, I guess so. I don't see anything in the rules about it, but my question to you would be why you would even do that. Hacks improve (for the most part) every year, so if your hack got the needed exposure and criticism last year, why do you need it again this year for the exact same thing?
If anything, I think you'd just get called lazy for submitting the exact same hack again.

 

You can submit the entry you did last year with no changes. However, that doesn't exactly look good on you, and will probably result in a lot of thrashing by the judges and the media. Definitely not recommended to try that.

 

So, I'm still not going to get that multiplayer trophy (I've had no time to make edits to Sonic Bash) =P

 

Still waiting for my steak. When I get it, we'll talk =V

 

Your wish is my command:

You've won the contest. It's done. Everybody go home.

 

Wow, what a terrible trophy! I am steaked.

 

The real issue here is whether or not that trophy is edible.

 

When will the site go up for sending submissions? Sorry if I sound impatient but I am really wondering...

EDIT: I forgot to mention. I happen to have some work done on 2 hacks soon.

 

The responsibility for the site falls on @Cinossu so he is the only one who can provide any updates for the site.

I have said privately that I'd like the site to be up by September 11th to provide a one month window for submissions as this year there won't be any time extensions. I don't want to have to constantly delay the contest like last year.

If he can't work on a new site as he originally intended to then that's fine, the old site should work with a few modifications.

 

​

As you may be aware, we have the Contest Week taking place this year from Monday 7th to Sunday 13th November. There are opportunities for everyone to take part in the Contest Week - it isn't a closed door environment. So as a result we are looking for people who could provide additional streams, site reviews, hacking workshops and much more. If you have something you can do during the week we want to know so you can do it. In the past people have done things such as music workshops and level design seminars among other things. You don't need to submit a hack to be part of the Contest Week!

To be a part of the Contest Week with whatever you are interested in doing please contact a judge [/i](preferably myself or SuperEgg as we are more hands on with the contest week)[/i] with full details and examples (videos, links etc) of previous work.

Streams can be done at any time including when other streams are on, you just need to let us know what times they'll be on and where they will be at.

Providing streams does not make you part of the Media Panel unless you have been specifically asked to be a part of it.

Hack Submissions Note
A reminder that we intend to open submissions on Sunday 11th September, allowing a one month window to get your initial submission in – remember that there will be a further updates deadline. Deadlines are Sunday 9th October 2016 for submissions and Sunday 16th October 2016 for updates. Judging will commence after the update deadline and judges have been given ample time to get through all submissions. Details of submitting to the contest will be made available on Sunday 11th September.

We have given notice since March this year that this contest will take place, we don’t announce events on a whim and do things last minute here, people have had plenty of time to get work done so if you've been working on a submission for months, even years, then the opportunity to enter is shortly approaching. Or if you want to submit something mashed out in such short time then feel free, after all people have won trophies through that. Everyone is welcome to submit as long as you meet the criteria.

 

Serious question. SuperEgg and yourself are already aware that I wanted to do some streaming and SuperEgg mentioned in the planning forum that I was now part of the panel. Do you still need me to send an e-mail to the address provided with examples or am I already set?

 

You should be fine, SuperEgg can answer this for himself though. I don't have an issue with this.

 

If I had the time I could do a live updated basic hacking guide on Sonic 1. But I honestly don't think I would be able to do it, at least not this year. Same goes for my hack.

 

Just wondering, are those "teams" like "me on SSRG + me on Retro" still allowed?

Or is there a different solution, like assigning a hack to creator's both SR and SSRG to a hack?

 

So in order to submit to the contest, what is the criteria to do so anyways?

 

it says on the first post ffs

 

This. Honestly, that's always bugged me, and I swear I've heard the media guys refer to single-person teams as, well, teams. It's just misleading.

 

Well, "Team Valley Bell" definitely happened last year.
And I remember being referred to as "team" a few times in the streams. (Maybe making a "team" to link the Retro and SSRG accounts was a stupid idea.)
