Sonic Hacking Contest 2016

Just to pass the message on and as a general reminder - if you're a trial member or otherwise cannot submit due to not being a full member, please contact one of the judges and we should be able to grant an exception to you. We've given exception to a handful of people already, so please don't hesitate to contact us.

 

I'll get around it, but at least I got an answer, cheers.

 

Spanner, in my entry every time after putting download links in "external link" option nothing happened. Deadline is near and I really want to submit my finished Game Gear hack. I hope somebody will fix my issue before the deadline...

 

Try enabling pop ups, the site is very dependent on them. Many browsers and ad blockers block them by default.

 

As people have been confused with deadlines, we are making Sunday the LAST day before the deadline expires. In other words, you can still enter to the contest on the Sunday and not worry about not being able to submit.

The cutoff has to be manually done and will be done whenever Cinossu wakes up Monday in the BST time zone so get your stuff in this Sunday and remember the additional week for updates.

 

I have enabled pop ups, because in previous SHC I had issue with them. The problem is after pasting download link in "external link" and applying - nothing happened. I'm trying again and again and still it needs external link and I can't set up my entry as a complete...

A reminder that TODAY is the last day that submissions to the contest will be allowed. After this, no new submissions will be permitted but existing entries can be updated until the end of next Sunday.

Remember, if you are having issues uploading your entry, attach an external link that will lead to the actual download for now.

If you are unable to add an external link, put it in your entry's comment section and we will manually upload the entry (size permitted) to our server at the end of the updates deadline.

 

I have not received yet answer to my question:
When i am trying to upload video on my entry page it just shows white screen instead of normal demonstration.

 

Entry submitted. I hope I get good reviews!

 

I would like to submit, but the trouble is, I'm not sure if I'll have it finished within the week.

...unfortunately, it's not one of those hacks that's playable until it's finished properly.

Suggestions?

 

You can pull out at the end of the updates week if you aren't ready...or set it to Partial-Private and only show it to the judges.

Get submitting now if you haven't already!

 

Cool stuffs, sounds like a plan, thank you.

I just didn't wanna waste you guy's times...

 

Alright, we're in the final hours. From this post, you've got around six hours, as it seems I'm the one pulling the plug this year. When it's midnight my time (UTC-5), I'm flipping the switch, so get to it if you haven't and still plan to.

 

TIME'S UP!

No more new entries can be submitted to the contest. If you didn't enter yet, too late, come back next year.

For those that did, remember that you have the additional week of updates you can make up to the end of Sunday 16th October.

 

I still haven't putted external link on my entry and I commented under my entry day ago.

 

Last year I gave MegaGWolf and Donnie a code for Sonic Bash to enable the (shit) CPU and that code never got given out. Although because they're live streaming, they may accidentally blurt it out. I suppose it's whether you want to risk that code going public. Because the CPU in Bash is just Tails following Sonic, it wasn't a big deal if that code did get released.

@Spanner To be fair, he's brought this situation up several times way before the deadline...

 

Hey everyone!

The contest is going great so far, but just a quick head's up! We've come across a couple broken links for hacks that have been submitted. Needless to say, but if they are broken by the time the week grace period is up, your hack will be removed from the contest!!

Just go in there real quick and make sure that your links are working alright. A majority of you all are okay, but we can't be arsed to send everyone PMs right now. We need to be judging instead.

Thanks for your attention and good luck!!

Thank you very much for fixing my problem. I fixed broken link from my previous comment in my entry, so please don't delete my entry. XD You'll not be disappointed this time.

 

Thank you*
