I submitted mine, but I warn you, it's weird!

@NitrousO: Hmmm..I actually have really, really bad hand control.

Like, I'm talking "never been able to make a straight line in my life". I use paint because it allows me to take my time, adjust mistakes better, and do pixel-by-pixel work.

Technically, anything can be created in paint if you spend enough time in it. Including advanced CG.

@Xerxes3rd:
I declare that mine trumps your theoretical-cart-bug on the superior coolness of the construction materials, its massive 18" wingspan (with actual wings!), and articulated mandibles and legs.

@Reilaos, Man of Destiny:
That's still CG. If you want to write the entire program out in longhand (no printers allowed!), you might be able to argue your case on the basis that you constructed the final version without the aid of a computer...even if it's not possible to _see_ the bug without one.

There was a sound like a million QA voices crying out at once. "Ohhhh ... THAT type of bug."

princess_stomper

I'll totally win this, you heard it hear first!

Weekend project FTW. I have a great idea hehehehehehe

@Esupio: You can have that idea, I'm extreamly bugaphobic.

RPGr

My entry is in. Prepare to be held under a magnifying glass. I for one welcome our new insect overlords...

linkreincarnate

Am I allowed to take a picture of my screen as my latest Intro to Programming homework assignment attempt decides that it rather enjoys buffer overruns?

Reilaos, Man of Destiny

is this competition open to those of us not in the US? ^_^

@RPGr: STEALING MY IDEAS.
I'M OFF TO FIND A LADYBIRD, AN ANT, AND A MOSQUITO.

Esupio

i wanted to do the insect in CG :(
you re evil for crushing my dreams kotaku..

Some brave soul should make a superbug! Take parts from other bugs and paste them together in some weird frankenstein creation! Make the rest of us lose our lunches as s/he laugh sadistically at said creation.

@Kirbytheslayer: In-Kirby XMB: Any doodle you can make with MS paint, you can make with a crayon and some construction paper. It just wont look as awesomely bad as MS paint. :P

NitrousO

Dang. I was really excited for the contest at first.

And then I realized, that technically, MS Paint is a computer image generation program.

@Nikarorku: I was thinking the same thing. But that would mean I'd have to catch the flies before my cats do..... and that's impossible. I would've made an awesome CG bug though if it had been allowed. oh well.

@Purple Dave: Well, since I can't make a bug out of Insecticide DS carts, I think it's safe to assume that my DS cart bug would be vastly superior to any other bug; therefore, I should be declared the winner. And at the congratulatory party for my awesome success and fame, there will be cake.

@Xerxes3rd:
Ah, but if the game doesn't release before March 7, they'd be too late to enter the contest, wouldn't they?

Anyways, on a more regulatory note, is this a one-entry-per-person contest, or can we just keep submitting?

Purple Dave

Is the winner the best bug, or a random drawing? Unclear.

creid

Someone should totally make a bug out of Insecticide DS carts! It's all about the fame, right? =)

Xerxes3rd

Love these contests!

Dr.Chocobo

brundelfly!

@dawimp523:
It's either due out later today, or it's simply a case of Marketing underestimating Programming's workload.

Purple Dave

I'm confused by the game's website. It said "Coming Feb. '08" and it had pre-order stuff. Has the game been delayed, or is it out now? Either way, I want to try this contest out!

dawimp523

Looks cute actually... reminds me of Grim Fandango for some reason

Final

Hmmm, I wonder if I can make a bug out of bugs! Wait...let me write this down before somebody else steals it...

Nikarorku

Mine's in. But I'm curious. I can't tell if Insecticide is an adventure game or an action game.

Oh well.
