Your Game 6
A new ZX-Evolution based game competition anounced! Need to mention that BaseConf of ZX Evolution supports classic 48K,128K British models timings!
Site Url:
http://speccy-live.untergrund.net/2019/ ... ur-game-6/
Welcome to a new gamedev compo for ZX Spectrum - "Your Game 6".
Previously this competition was held in 2014 and collected 10 works:
http://alonecoder.nedopc.com/zx/ti5_pack.zip
The competition, like last time, accepts games that fully work on a bare ZX Evo board with baseconf firmware (i.e. 48K / 128K / Pentagon1024 / ATM2 / ATM3 + SD-card). The game should not require any more devices, but can support them. Voting will be conducted taking into account the system requirements of the game.
The prize fund at the moment is 155,000 rubles and can be increased with the funds of those who wish (see the contacts section below).
The main sponsor is SASPACK LLC
By popular vote, the prize is divided as follows (in the future, amounts may grow up, and other special prizes may be added):
50,000 rubles - first place
30,000 rubles - second place
20,000 rubles - third place
Moreover:
50,000 rubles - prize from the jury (the jury is determined by the main sponsor)
5,000 rubles - special prize from Alone Coder
The deadline for accepting works is October 4, 2020. The award period is within a month from this date.
The game should not be released until this date, except for the demos released before this announcement (but during the development process you can upload screenshots and video materials).
Only full games will participate in the competition, that is, not demo versions.
For participants new to the ZX Evo (baseconf) architecture:

Re: Your Game 6
They should say more clearly if they accept standard Zx Spectrum games or not.
An will they have any chance against games on steroids using extra graphics modes of Zx Evo?

Thanks for the clarification! Are then TAP/TZX images accepted?DenisGrachev wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 3:33 am A new ZX-Evolution based game competition anounced! Need to mention that BaseConf of ZX Evolution supports classic 48K,128K British models timings!
Re: Your Game 6
Do any of the supported configurations have contended memory?

Re: Your Game 6
In 48K mode, the contention is identical to the original ZX Spectrum 48K.
In 128K mode, the contention is identical to the original ZX Spectrum 128K and +2.
In other modes, there are Pentagon timings, or else turbo mode with unreliable contention (differs on all compatible machines).
ZX Evo supports TAP images.

Re: Your Game 6
Need to mention that EVO SDK is a very easy to use for one screen games. There is enought time to make one and support compo.
http://alonecoder.nedopc.com/zx/evosdk_libs.rar - a set of utilities and a tile-sprite library for development with C language (ATM2 / ATM3).
I have made a enhached version of Gravibots very fast.

Re: Your Game 6
Nice to see 2 new games for the Spectrum, and thanks for hosting the compo, [mention]Alone Coder[/mention]
Re: Your Game 6
If I could make a suggestion for the future to the compo organisers, you should really split competition into two categories:
- games for classic Spectrums (Pentagon included)
- games for all these clones
Putting a classic game into competition with games made for a modern FPGA clone with better graphics, more speed and memory
just feels unfair, at least to me.

Re: Your Game 6
There are too few authors to make categories.
All the entries this year can work on a generic Russian Spectrum clone (ATM-)Turbo 2+ (I even patched Last Mission for this). You don't need FPGA emulators.

Re: Your Game 6
The author of the demoversion of "Последнее испытание 8 bit" has announced that the game mechanics will be changed - a logic platformer instead of RPG.

Re: Your Game 6
The author has removed all the other videos from YouTube. I showed the demo (3 levels) at Your Game 6 stream https://youtu.be/ER4Nk1BZl3w?t=4230 . The announcement was posted in VKontakte https://vk.com/feed?w=wall38437349_9292_r9299+3code wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 1:32 pmI cant see it in the web.
