#HOT #HAWT #SUPERHOT :D
Can I create an indev Moddb page before my mod is completed, or do I have to finish it first (to a downloadable state) and only then can I make a submission?
You can make a page and link it before it is completed, but it wont be eligible to win until there is a playable download
Okay, thanks!
the contest is all over the internet too just seen it on gog and steam x)
"superhot developers and moddb have joined forces" lol wut
If I make a map, do I have to make the animations? Or I just put the models and then I explain the paths and animations that will they follow?
As long as it is playable, it is eligible. Obviously polish and completeness will help to win
Okya, thanks you very much!
Is there a limit to what engine we can use or can we use what ever we like
Use whatever you want - unity, unreal, source, something custom. As long as we can play your submission is the main thing!
OK thanks
"you may not submit another persons work or IP under any circumstance without explicit permission." Those words "explicit permission" are givving me headache. Can i use for example royalty-free music into mine game?
I'm not staff, but I imagine that someone releasing their work as royalty-free counts as "explicit permission"
Yes a royalty free license generally does mean that
Is it ok to use music from the game soundtrack itself?
Yes, if the music is royalty free then that means their licence has given you permission to use it.
i always wanted to join those fantastic contesst but..
"No can do" said battlefield 2 player
i got ideas but i can't apply any from of it because i am not a programer or a game maker
Good luck !

SUPERQOT
SUPERQOT is awesome, but it was listed as an example and isn't eligible to win.
Are the games and mods only allowed to be digital or are tabletop games eligible as well?
Tabletop is eligible, we have both arts and craft prizes and game prizes. If it is a game it'll be in the game category - but remember the judges will need to be able to play your tabletop game somehow!
If we make a seperate game, are we encouraged to use a similar art style to Superhot's or our own?
You can make the game be any style you want, but we will be judging games on how much they fit the "SUPERHOT" vibe, so if it is completely unrelated that won't be graded as high
Hope mine gets at least 1-3rd place, Best to luck to all :D
Good luck to everyone!
SUPERHOT Mod for Half-Life, F.E.A.R., or Doom anyone?
Yes to all!
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Can we use the HTC VIVE?
Of course, SUPERHOT works on VIVE afterall
Damn I knew I shouldn't have given up on my mod making projects...
Rip
Never too late!
Good luck!

HOT
Christ, Superhot was such a cynical cashgrab. I like how you chose a game that doesn't actually have mod support for this competition.
Al countries?
Yes all countries. The rules outline all of this (so please read them) as I cannot advise, but prizes will be issued with best effort. Any taxes or rules that your country of origin impose will be your responsibility to resolve.
do we have to work alone or are small teams allowed?
Teams are absolutely allowed :) But in the event you win prizes it will be upto you how the prizes are allocated to the team members.
I was very excited to start a project for this, especially since Superhot is a favorite of mine. Got my planning and concept art for a brand new game, then I read this in the terms and conditions - "IMGN.PRO will have the right to not choose a winner, which will result in contest not being resolved."
Nevermind, lol
Just that particular prize, because it is a massive undertaking to publish a game. The rest of the prizes will be resolved I can assure you, but understand your reasoning if this isn't for you.
can we post the same game on other sites like gamejolt, itch.io, ...., for more publicity ?
Of course you can
Any one knows how to provide the shipping info ?
If you win a prize you will be contacted to provide required information.
Oh ok thanks.
INtense! XanT Can i use someone else's killterest clips? And is there an age restriction?
If they've said you can use it, that isn't a problem. And you need to be over the age of 13 or have parental consent
All countries allowed? We're from Russia.
An one more question, we're using Unreal Engine 2 Runtime, it's free for non-commercial usage. Is that engine allowed?
All countries are allowed, as is the engine if you have a licence. The rules outline all of this (so please read them) as I cannot advise, but prizes will be issued with best effort. Any taxes or rules that your country of origin impose will be your responsibility to resolve.
