   when is 4e6 starting?
  Sorry if this post comes off a little strange given the fact there is a 4e6 thread already in existence.  But the question was never fully answered as to when 4e6 will start.  It was given that it was probably in June, and its September now.  The topic then shifted to cross platform issues, so I would like to know from a member of the staff when indeed the contest is going to be announced, started, etc.  Any Ideas?   
  superpig (admin) wrote in the big thread (page 7) that it will start this month.   ;  September 2008. Obviously. Sheesh.   ;Quote:Original post by viblosuperpig (admin) wrote in the big thread (page 7) that it will start this month.You can't say page 7 because each user can configure the number of posts per page... for me the thread only has 5 pages!;  The pagesize can only be a fixed number of values (25, 50 etc). Since the only pagesize for which a "page 7" exists is 25, specifying the pagesize is unnecessary [wink]   ;  thanks guys, hmm... I must have missed it in there.. somewhere.. that thread was getting WAY to big.   ;Quote:Original post by PaulCesarthanks guys, hmm...

Oh well, I'm also looking forward to *finishing* an entry this year.   ;Quote:Original post by dmoonfireQuote:Original post by PaulCesarthanks guys, hmm...

I'm about 50% done with mine, it's playable but not stable (and no installer).http://moonfire.us/blog/category/games/cutegod/http://moonfire.us/blog/2007/07/16/weekend-of-cute-and-gods/#more-406  (screenies)There are others who have done a great job also:http://www.gamedboy.com/ (XNA)http://www.spatialreasoning.net/planetcute/ (&#106avascript)Basically, I'm working on BooGame and trying to make it crossplatform and easier to use. It's an OpenGL 2D engine for .NET and the Tao project. CuteGod gives me an excuse to keep on programming, a neat challenge where I just have to figure out how to implement it, and not to get too anxious for 4E6. :) I'm also desperately hoping to finish it before 4E6 starts.[Edited by - dmoonfire on September 12, 2007 7:41:30 AM]
