The contest to create a complete PBBG in two months has concluded and unfortunately Big Villain is just not ready yet. Itâs a shame it wasnât ready in time, but after about a month I was already getting pretty doubtful. Itâs just too big a game for me to complete by myself in that timeframe with all the other stuff I have to do in my life. Nevertheless Iâve had a ton of fun working on it and absolutely nothing is going to stop me from completing it. I was working on the design of the site just last night to try and get it to something that doesnât make your eyes bleed when you look at it. Hopefully by next week Iâll have accomplished that.
Anyway, some people did finish their games in the allotted time. Here are the final entries (though Iâm not sure you can get into all of them yet, I think some authors were only planning on letting in the judges at this point):

Iâm planning to take a look at each one I can and see what others were able to accomplish since October 11th when the contest started. Iâm alternately impressed and disappointed with what I myself was able to accomplish in the same period of time. I figure Iâve got at least another six weeks or so of part time work before Iâll be ready for a beta of my game.
Thanks for publicising my game, âIron-Empireâ. Iâve been working on it with a friend for a few weeks now and itâs a working prototype, although still in beta-testing. I decided to enter it into the BBG competition mainly as a good way to motivate me to work on it as a priority, I wouldnât normally have made it âliveâ as there are still a lot of features I want to add to it. Iâm pretty certain it has no chance of winning the competition, but at least it has helped to increase the speed of development.
Iâm looking forward to trying out some of the other games in the competition myself as I am a keen BBG player.
Cheers!
