Hey all. I was just wondering whether there is going to be another Famicompo this year and if so, does anyone know when it is going to start/finish?

I've had a look around but haven't a lot about when it will be this year. I haven't entered it before so not entirely sure when it's going to take place.

Thanks,

Jon

I think it usually happens round the end of August, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks jrlepage, I'll keep a look out for any other info that may come around but if it is around August time, that's cool. If anyone else could confirm this that would be great - just to make sure :].

I've only really done covers in Famitracker so wanted to try my own thing for once - have had a few ideas that I've tabbed on guitar etc and wanted to convert them to 8-bit to try and make a song/theme from it. Only been working with Famitracker for about a year and a half now.

@DoomMaster1994 I'm sure you wouldn't get laughed at for what you've created - at least you've actually made the effort to have a go! I know that what I create for it isn't going to be amazing but hopefully some people may enjoy what I make in the end! :]

Jon

Thanks, jonpon. Maybe I'll try. The first songs I composed on the AdLib sound card sounded pretty cool...

They happen every 9-15 months, so the new one could happen anytime between today and Nov. The submission period of the last one was over 5 weeks, so I wouldn't worry about it unless you're really slow at composing.

@rushjet Yeah that would be quite handy since it will help me to decide when to start preparing - I've scoured the internet but found nothing so far about this years competition. I see what you mean about the starting dates - I've just realised what the numbers mean on the website. Starting and ending dates so gives you a rough idea as you said. I presume that it will just come up on the official famicompo website when the competition has started?

@cak Cool thanks for letting me know! It's reassuring that I'll have plenty of time to come up with something for it. Fantastic :]

The official FamiCompo Mini (it picks up where FamiCompo left off):

I had no idea that it used to run before 2003. Good to know it has been going for a while.

It didn't, did it? 2003 was the first and only 'plain' Famicompo that I know of. (I participated in it. I lost badly, but so did virtually everyone who wasn't the winner.)
