Finally, the wait is over. The show that's been running for some serious time rears its next iteration. Here's the official announcement for the start of the latest edition of the international MSX development contest, MSXdev’20.
From hardcore MSX fans to mildly interested passersby, this annual event ain't no stranger. It has been running steadily since 2003 and dropped many fresh works of video gaming right into the worldwide MSX scene. And all of them are free to download. There's no excuse not to enjoy them right away.
Now, for the 2020 edition, specifically two important changes have been made to the contest:
- First of all, the "Freestyle" category has been honorably discharged, due to the organizational burden not weighing up against the net results.
- Also, the public poll was dropped for the same reasons.
A slightly more thorough explanation for these decisions can be found on the official MSXdev blog.
Some dates to consider, concerning this year's edition:
- 22 November 2019 - Contest kicks off!
- 30 July 2020 - Deadline for entries
- 1 August 2020 - Jury deliberation commences
- 31 August 2020 - Deadline for jury reports
- 7 September 2020 - Final results made public
The MSXdev Team hopes you are as just as excited as they are about what joyful and fascinating new software this challenge will bring! Every year it's just a treat. Homebrew software for the win, for sure!
Are you working on an MSX game, or even have one finished? Please consider to submit your work to this legendary MSX contest and have the guarantee of a world-wide audience, gain the attention of potential cartridge producers, and even be in the condition to win some prizes. It's a contest after all!
Let the games begin.
