...Though that brings to mind a question -- is that by the END of the 1st or the BEGINNING of the 1st?  Is it due by the end of Sunday night GMT or the end of Monday night GMT?

 

As always, the listed due date means "no later than this date," with in this case the only change being a set time zone to act as standard so that is not a source of possible confusion, so that means one has until the end of Monday night (GMT) to complete one's initial submission - most of the long weekend.

 

 

...I will not be finished by Sunday 4pm Pacific (Midnight GMT). I think I can have a playable “beta” by Monday Midnight Pacific...

 

As indicated above, if you can get a first draft of the module done and submitted by 4 PM (your time) on Monday you will be within the deadline, and still have a couple weeks to make refinements.

Just wanted to make sure given the new structure.  May be clearer to say

 

"before 11:59 PM (GMT time so make appropriate adjustments for your time zone) on September 1, 2014"

 

I'm going to still try to get something in, but it'll be a really, really rough draft.  Will have a lot more free time over the next two weeks, though, to improve it.

Just a reminder to participants that final revised versions of modules for this ABC cycle should be submitted no later than 11:59 GMT on September 15 (Monday).

Sorry, I won't make it. RealLife got in the way.

RL beat me up and stole my lunch money as well during the last few days (haven't had any time to work on it in nearly a week).  Should be able to just polish what I have and get it in within 48 hours of being late for an honorable mention, I guess.  Barely had any time to devote to it in general, though, it's going to be like a quick 15-30 minute playthrough module.

 

I do think this system is still the best yet, mind you, I just didn't expect this last week to go to hell for me.  So that's just my fault (well, not technically, but you know what I mean).

If you want, I can release what you already sent me (you can still update it further later of course), which is technically on time, though I agree it is not currently in a very release-worthy state. Alternatively you can submit a more polished version late. If you prefer the latter do you think you can get it in soon enough that it is worth delaying the release for a day or two (since otherwise I will only have Verilazic's submission)?

Yeah, I can have it in within two days.

The results of the Summer 2014 ABC are now available on the vault.

 

Currently the only module completed is Verilazic's A Missing Accessory, which earns a Completion Prize + Extra Mile Award for being on time, using one theme from each list (Level 10 PC & "Save the Princess"), and using only sponsored CC.

 

There might be an additional late submission added - still ironing out difficulties with it.

And by that he quite literally means ironing out the difficulty for the most part, as it's currently way way way too difficult at points.
