I forgot about the contest. I been thinking about what game I should work on this but then noticed the contest ends at the end of the month, so if I work all month on that, I can get it done. I am going to use the approach I used for national novel writing month, and aim for 2k words a day, so the game should have a decent amount of content even if I only work on it for a month.
Good luck! I love TG-focused competitions.
