    Contest cancelled! All people who have entered have become staff members, and because I don't think that anyone else is going to enter, the contest is over! We will have another contest once the game is close to submission to Apple or after it is released! Check the new official thread under upcoming games, and check out the staff and beta testers social group! Everyone who wants to become a beta tester by joining the social group will be a beta tester, no one is turned away!

    you could have said 1st-3rd place get: haha xP

    what's the overal game style going to be? if you create some sample stuff, it might be easier to get everything people make to look similar so your game isn't randomness everywhere. Just a thought :) I will probably make a character for you depending on the demensions you would like..

    I'd write up the background story and give some gameplay ideas if you told me a little more clearly of what the game will be about!

    And I'll see if I can come up with a good story! But is this game gonna require the OS 3.0 update? If it does, I can't get it when it comes out... :confused:

    Mario!

    It will need 2.2 and above! And yeah, I guess vaelsh beat me to saying that it will be very similar to Mario!

    Nothing.

    That's just it, there is no game name, no character name, no plot, all I have is that the character must have a profession like Mario is a plumber, and that there will be an end of world boss, like Bowser. I've got no clue, I'm thinking about it though, and I want the character's name to end in o or io and I want it to be one word like Mario. If you have any ideas, let me know. After all, that IS what the contest is for. lol

    So basically you want ideas from us other than it being a platformer? xP That's cool though. I think having the name end in o or io is too similar, and the boss better not end in "owser", or even "er", because thats just corny and too similar to even stand out. You need to make it unique rather than just a plain out copy.

    It's not going to end in owser, I said I want it to be a tough, one word like Bowser. And I don't think it's too close ending it in o. And not giving you guys many details is the fun part. It makes it a challenge! lol

    I agree. Plus, thinking of names ending in "o," "io," "owser," and "er" is really hard.

    The main Character can be a lumberjack, which can be the reason for him starting in the forest. (That's what you said the first world was didn't you?)
