For those who didn't get it this time, it's just an exercise to get things done, and I know real life can get in the way. (I've got a batch of things I want to tweak before I get them up too.)
This didn't get a lot of publicity and perhaps didn't inspire those who did see it. I have something to get together and submit but it was last minute and not good for promotional purposes. I'll pollish it though. And if I can't be bothered to join my own challenge I can't blame anyone else for missing it.
Yeah. Everything like normal. Just needed to post the new one before it closed to have it up. In the future if I want to do the original idea I should post the new one challenge theme right after the last one closes submissions and have a week overlap between voting and prep time for the next.
@MedicineStorm I was trying to fudge a little and still call this a weekly challenge. It's been announced already (see new thread) but gives a week prep. I think I switched from last time thinking I'd wait until after judging the last one to announce the new one, then doing a half week instead once I knew judging was a week, then got confused this time when I should say it. Oops. Well, if any challenge needed a week prep then this one is it. Plus submissions will be rolling in around Valentine's Day, which fits the theme. We'll play it by ear on when the announce thge next one.
We still have a few hours yet, but congratulations to all who submitted something. And of course join in when you can if you hoped to but couldn't due to other events or not knowing about it.
I'm of the opinion that any new submissions are a good thing even if the format means you didn't put as much time as you would otherwise. You can always go back and edit your submission or make a new one once the competition is over. I feel like it creates new things we wouldn't have had otherwise and doesn't really overwhelm the site either. But, as always, I'm open for comments, either here if it's about the theme or in a main thread.
Music always works for the challenge as well, but is a little easier to meet the theme this time around.
Congratulations to everyone who contributed!

I think for the next one that we'll follow your suggestion: http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/weekly-challenge-surts-scraps-due-marc...
Cool submissions. I squeaked something in on the last night:

I guess I'm getting into the habit of low rez stuff. Ah well.
OGA was having issues for about a day but is back up now. Maybe it's working from now on. Give it another test.
Congrats to Min for winning, and great work everyone!
