Compo Rules and Scheduling - important Announcements
We revised our compo rules and scheduling for this year and have made a couple of notable changes:

• Moved 256b and Animation/Video compos to Friday evening at 22:00 CEST, deadlines for both: 18:00 CEST.
  
• Added a strict no-GenAI rule, as we want to see your creativity and not your prompting skills.
  
• PETSCII/ATASCII requires submission of a binary.
  
• Mate-Light animation duration limited to 30 seconds.
  
• Increased the number of required working stages in the graphics compos to 6.
  
• Collages are no longer allowed in the Themed Photo compo but are welcome in the Freestyle Graphics compo instead.
  
• The theme for this year’s Themed Photo compo is: “B-Movie”.
  
• The game for this year’s Retro Tournament is: “Jump ’n Bump”.
  

All details regarding the above can be found on our Competitions page. Looking forward to your releases!
Reminder: We are open for remote entries in all compos. The partysystem for uploads will go live in the next days. :)

I've just been giving Jump 'n Bump a try - might take part in the tournament! :D What platform will it be played on? And will we be using keyboard controls, or...?

Really looking forward to this; releases are in the works.

@Mibri: We'll be playing on a Pi running insaneOS using some USB SNES Pads :)

And if you don't know insaneOS yet: check it out here

Very nice shirt. And it's timeless, right? 2025 is not indicated? 🧐

Yes, it‘s ”timeless“ indeed! (Unless you count the clocks on the building;) )

...maybe there is a secret message hidden somewhere?

If I try to be really imaginative about what metaphors in the painting could point to a year I arrive at 2525. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
