Karoshi MSX Community

Well, the MSXdev'13 has been officialy opened and it is here again to bring you a new challenge! We know that MSX developers have nowadays lots of different ways to release their games, but still the MSXdev contests are a nice excuse to bring something fresh to the scene and to compete with other MSX developers along with the evil deadline!

Every thread has been updated into this MSXdev'13 boards, so be sure to check them out.

First of all, we have several changes at the contest RULES (http://karoshi.auic.es/index.php?topic=2401.0): talking about the file size, this time we will need more pre-design and creativitiy to try to get something cool inside a simple 16KB ROM, as it is the new accepted maximum game size! Lots of nice MSX gems have been developed with this game size, so go ahead and suprise us with that cool and polished mini game you have been thinking of but dare to create.

Also, prizes are back (be sure to check the SPONSORS (http://karoshi.auic.es/index.php?topic=2403.0) and DONATIONS (http://karoshi.auic.es/index.php?topic=2402.0) thread to contribute with a prize) and the voting system has changed: this time Karoshi MSX Community users will rank its three bests and give them 1, 2 and 3 points each at a public thread. There are other minor changes at the rules, so check every detail at the RULES (http://karoshi.auic.es/index.php?topic=2401.0) thread!

From now on you have until 15th June (5 months) to create your thread and upload your entry, to set your sponsorship or to donate for the main prize. You can support the MSXdev on many ways: as a developer, donor, user who vote games, or just spreading the word out there. MSXers of the world: The MSXdev is back!!

And, of course, for those in need of higher specs or wanting to explore the vast posibilities of newer MSX generations, or for those that are more into demos or applications instead of just games, please be sure to check the #msxdev Compo 2013 (http://msxbanzai.tni.nl/compo/) at MSX Banzai!

You have a full year to come up with an amazing production for the system, and #msxdev Compo could be the perfect place for it!

So it's time to gather some old project and finish it right now. Plenty to choose from :p

Congratulations for setting up the contest so quickly, Jon! And thanks to all MSX users that have discussed their view about MSXdev.

I'll do my best to try to produce at least one entry to the contest.

Cheers!!!!

I´m going to try!!
