This year we are combining all music compos into a single competition category. If sufficient entries are submitted to subdivide the compo, we will do so.
In addition to the general rules, all entries for the following competitions must also conform to these additional requirements:
The party version is limited to 3:30. We will fade it out at this point if it does not end. You’re welcome to include a longer version with your submission that attendees will have access to before the voting deadline. If you wish to exercise this option, assuming the party version is named mytrack.mod, the extended version should be named mytrack_extended.mod.
Finally, any entry to the compo must abide by one of the following rule sets:
Rule Set 1: Executable music
- The entry has to be delivered as an executable in a format suitable for the target platform.
- Max size 32768 bytes or less in size before execution.
- Maximum allowed pre-calculation time is 30 seconds.
Rule Set 2: Oldschool / Tracked Music
- Must either run on 8-bit hardware or be written in an oldschool module format. Example extensions that we are prepared to play: .mod, .s3m, .xm, .it. If you want to play a different format, please contact the orga team. All non-hardware based entries will be played via a libopenmpt based player, streaming entries are not allowed.
