C64 POWER GAME MOD COMPO

Many of us dreamed about creating own sequel of favourite game (mainly sitting by C64 turning screw in datasette and breaking joysticks). Some games was released with built-in editor, usually allowing to feel like an creator at least for a moment. Unfortunately there was rarely possibility to make self-containing executable out of prepared game so some assebly language knowledge was important. Despite that to this day many amateur sequels/mods appeared, most of them are Boulder Dash with new levels.

To face modded games fan base, we would like to invite you to take part in C64 Power Game Mod Compo. Here are the rules:

- Competition entries can be send up to 30 April 2012.
- To finally judge we need at least 5 works (up to 2 per entrant).
- Game can be prepared with already available generic editor allowing to
make entire (like SEUCK, Creations, Game Maker), but those games will
score lower. We allow using editors to games already released (eg: Boulder Dash, Kikstart 2, Repton 3, Traz, Mr. Robot, Rad Ramp Racer, Breaker, Breakout Construction Kit, Gotcha)
- The more creative you are the more you score. Overall effort/effect
counts.
- On C64 Power site there is forum for participants (you can ask for help).
- There must be visible line of text containing: “C64 POWER GAME MOD
COMPO” in-game if possbile. If not you can add this line in depacker or
just add a text screen with that information.
- Beware! Competiton entry must not contain any author related
information. We encourage you to submit two versions of game - signed and unsigned. After competition we will publish signed work (you can add some intro there and so on). We want this compo to be not spoiled hence it's
DISALLOWED TO REVEAL WHO IS AUTHOR BEFORE RESULTS ARE PRESENTED. In case of clear public information such a work will be disqualified.
- Executable game should be sent as prg/d64/t64 to raf[m@il]c64power.com (ask for snailmail contact).
- Game should come with some docs containing history of making modification. You can do it as an executalbe file on C64 too. You should
describe modifications (you don't necessarily need to go deep into tech
things, just list them)
- New level set is sufficent to name game modified. Exchanching only
sprites or music is not a MOD. Organizers reserved their rights to
disqualify a game if it's modifications are marginal.
- If you are in trouble we offer help.
- We reserve rights to change rules during competition if there is need to
do so.
- There will be independant jury to judge out.

We have some prizes too (there will be probably a bit more of the over
time):
- C64
- Coupons for buying stuff at C64 Power market
- "Bajty Polskie" Book
- Some original games

if shipping an item aboard would cost more than the item itself (quite
likely in case of sending a C64 and so on) we reserve rights to give
equivalnt in cash/coupons instead.

Our mission is to encourage fans to creatively continue C64 games. Have
fun! But there is also possibility to impove your skills and knowledge
about Commodore.

Some modded games you can take as inspiration:

- Zulder Dash/Tropyx
- Traz III/Tropyx
- Giana Sisters Collection/Apidya
- FlaschBier 2007
- “Arno Dash” series (and other Boulder Dash clones)
- Aargh Krakout
- Championship Sprint

Editors/games with built-in editor:
- SEUCK
- Activision GameMaker
- Arkanoid Level editor
- Mr. Robot and his Robot Factory
- Boulder Dash Construction Kit
- Kikstart II
- Gotcha!
- Krakout Construction Kit
- Pinball Construction Set
- Breaker
- Breakout Construction Kit
- Rad Ramp Racer
- Repton 3
- Traz
- Adventure Construction Set

Ultimately - we encourage to make new games without using existing editors.

Organizers: Raf/Vulture Design and V-12/Tropyx
Media: C64 Power and River’s Edge

Yes of course there is English link to forum above. I thought that link to Facebook event will be enough because there are rules too

Anyone working on game mod?

There is a possibility to delay the deadline because we want to give a chance to everyone who still are not sure if they want to compete. I hope that at least few Lemon forum members will compete

From unofficial informations: 2 game MODS are in progress, one is almost finished. We need more!

If your skills aren't great for making a full game mod, you can create only levels (caves, screens or whatever) and we can support you with creating an executable version of your game

Feel free to contact us!
