I have been asked to push back the deadline and extend the competition running time. Indeed I do have the impression that the contestants need more time for their projects. I am thinking about two more months which would extend the total runtime of the competition to half a year.
Please let me know through this poll whether the deadline should be pushed back or not and how much more time you would like it to run.
Two months sounds about right. I agree with TheForce81, as well.
Although many people get some time off from work/school at this time of year, most would probably prefer to spend it having fun with family and friends.

Agreed. Its Christmas, everyone deserves a break and a few beers and mince pies.
The time frame was bad for me from the beginning. I was able to invest a couple of weeks into my project by now and I’m sure I could put together a demo till the end of the year. However, I might be able to make it more of a game with more time.
If it gives people more time to actually make their games better… I’m all for it. Hopefully this doesn’t just mean that everyone gets two months off before crunch time again. 😉
Let’s go for it. If this was a community of crack coders who do this kind of thing all the time I’d say leave it at January 1… But I know we have several people who aren’t accustomed to projects like this, and doing their best, so I’d say let’s give another two months to give everyone a chance to shine.

And you of course are a legendary coder who pumps out professional-quality games in weeks. And our standards were of medieval quality before you came along. And we are all idiots needing hand-holding having no idea how to accomplish things. And nobody else can think of cool ideas to implement.

I’m not so sure that Guy Perfect’s vanity will allow him to see the sarcasm in your statements. He’ll probably take everything that you wrote as a compliment.

It’s like the pot called the kettle black, but it went over its head and the kettle got all indignant. I love when stuff like that happens. (-:
Personalities clash sometimes. But we’re all hobbyists here, we’re all presumably doing this for fun. We’ve all agreed that extending the competition deadline is a good idea. Let’s make the most of it.
