  1st october, IGF submissions deadline.Its 1st of october and I bet Data is working at full power to polish out the first commercial build of CC. The deadline closes at night so its pretty exciting what have the guys at DRL done so far.
Factions, campaign, scene editor, pathfinding, nukes.. no wait. no nukes, turrets, more guns and crafts... Whoppee, this is gonna be great. Discuss. Oh yeah. FYI, Data entered some IGF competition that might get him a nifty 20.000$ if they win the first prize. Wish ya luck Data! Google for ''IGF'' and go to the first link it gives you for more info. |

IGF WOOT!!!! wrote: 2007 IGF Competition Entrant Cortex Command Developer: Data Realms, LLC (Cave Creek, AZ , United States) Description: Mine precious gold from the deformable terrain in order to buy better weapons, digging tools, and disposable fighting bodies. Use these assets to defend your motherbrain and bankrupt your opponent! Old-school 2D sidescroller pixel graphics coupled with an extremely detailed physics simulation makes for a mix of nostalgia and open-ended gameplay.

Time: Since the beginnning of 2001 If you seen any information about Cortex Command that needs to be corrected or updated, contact the IGF Chairman. i just googled "igf cortex command" and clicked on the 1st link  |

Re: 1st october, IGF submissions deadline. Nope, the minimum you can win is $500, not including losing, and maximum is $20 000, which is what numgun said.

Re: 1st october, IGF submissions deadline. I think we are all wrong.

Re: 1st october, IGF submissions deadline. Has a pre-beta game ever won IGF? I'd be surprised. If not, I don't expect CC to make a precident.

Well, he has until February, when the games are actually judged. Looking at the entry method, I don't think you have to submit the actual game until then. |

Re: 1st october, IGF submissions deadline. I don't expect to see a polished, marketable product by February...
This begs the question of what he hopes to accomplish with his submission. He certainly won't walk away with the 20 000 USD prize. CC has nothing on Darwinia (a previous winner). Best I could imagine is the Innovation Award (for 2 500 USD), and even then--eh. |

Re: 1st october, IGF submissions deadline. That doesn't mean its beta, it just means its not popular.
Also, as far as I've read, it was a complete game--it just wasn't a popular game. A level of popularity and notability does not assert completion. Data Realms has a decent sized community. That does not make the game complete by any stretch. Correlation != Causation |
