Is there any update for this contest?

Hey,

Working with the GD.net staff to arrange the prize(s) and am working on getting the judging panel lined up.

Yea, I'm interested, I'm new to this site but want to get my music heard by people in generall, but also game programmers.
Is there any perticular genre we need to stick to?

Hey,

No, my intention right now is to leave this open ended and allow for any genre (or mixture of genres). This way we can see how creative composers can be. GD.net is working with me on things and I may have a possible media for contestants to work towards available. More details to follow soon. Sorry it's taking a while but these sort of things tend to do that!

Thanks,

Nate

Hey Nathan,

I would love to be part of the competition!

My sincere apologies for the delay in making this contest happen. Here's an update:

*I have a potential game for us to work on. I'm working with the designer/programmer of the game to see how feasible it would be to create an exe that a composer (i.e. a non-programmer guy!) can import the music into a level, test it, iterate and then provide me with the finished result. This will then be turned into a judging panel for review.

*I have contacted five VERY prestigious judges and have heard back from two of them! If the final three say yes to judging this contest then we'll have a complete judging panel and I think everyone will be impressed with their credentials.

*I'm currently working with GD.net to set up a prize structure. Last year we had one winner. Depending on the number of contestants involved with this year's round, I'd like to have more winners. Much like a first, second and third place set up.

Finally let me say how excited I am about the possibility of contestants working on a game project instead of a video trailer. Scoring to video has many useful and educational elements but supporting an interactive game is much closer to the goal and topic of this website! :)

Thanks for hanging tight. I promise I'm working on this.... on top of all of my other stuff!

Nate

glad to hear it - my ears are ready.

*Cracks knuckles and puts on shades*
I'm in.

Thanks Nathan!

I'm very much looking forward to this and your efforts are certainly appreciated!
