Stencyl Jam 2013 - Over $1,000 in prizes - Ends April 30th (DEADLINE PASSED!)

How new does it have to be? Could I use a game that's been in development for a while but isn't finished yet? Even if demos or such have already been published?

We're going by the honor system here, and I'm not going to strictly define what a "new" game is. After hosting a bunch of jams in the past, I find that most game jam entries, including the winners, tend to be completed in the span of a week or two.

If hassled, I'd say that a game whose content is beyond "half done" is stretching it. So it's OK if you have a demo with just the base mechanics finished, but not OK if you submit a 60 level game where you've already completed 30 levels.

let the hunger games begin!

Oh dear haha , I guess if I get enough of my current project done by that time I can count that as entry?

EDIT: Oh saw the above comment -- I'm sure I'll have enough by then to make something nice. ( maybe )

Interesting, guess I picked a good time to work on a new game. Extra motivation to get it finished this month as well.

Wow, that looks fantastic! I love the graphic style... it looks like a classic computer game! Hope you do well.

Oh, and I have a question. If we team up with somebody and win, we obviously just split the money in some way. Unfortunately though, would I be correct in saying three people cannot split a single subscription of Stencyl Studio?

a lone wolf, then.. 

I'm actually going to try working on a game as much as I can these two months. I'll probably need help from some friends to ever finish what I already have planned... hehe...

-removed-

Think ill have a go at this

I'll enter and do my best to create a nice game 

Well, at any rate, I am excited too! Now, what game shall I make...? Time to hit the "drawingboards" perhaps.

Yes, it's up to the team to figure out how to split the proceeds.

  I might have to throw my hat into the ring, sounds fun! I just started working on this little guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLwiFjUbNm4

I don't enter these jams for the money... honestly, I would enter these for fun. 

I have a few concepts laying around, although I might end up in too much of a jam to be able to produce one for the jam.

I won't have enough time. But my "major" is a secret. HINT: It has nothing to do with grumpy cat. That game has been delayed.
