The Cave of Forgotten Prototypes
*Adjusts monocle*<br><br>Thank you all for coming. I'm putting together an expedition, fine developers, of the archeological pursuasion. It will be crammed with potential peril, potential excitement, and perhaps also potential treasure. Indeed, I plan to venture into the Southernmost reaches of Africa for a grand spelunking quest! We shall delve greedily, deeply, darkly, recklessly far into...<br><br><br><img src="http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii48/Gazza_N/CoFP.gif"><br><br>It'll be dark there, so pack matches. Also whiskey. And lots of spare undies. There will be hardship, but along the way we may find some forgotten gems, or something mundane that was worthless long ago but may be worth exhibiting when we spit on it and shine it with our rock-torn, lichen-smeared sleeves. Also whiskey.<br><br>Uncle Gaz Needs YOU! He does! So let's gear up and sally forth! TO ADVENTURE!<br><br><hr size="2" width="100%"><br>
<i>But seriously. Looking through the site's manifesto, a little something
caught my eye: "To make games that we learn from. To make games that
are horrible mistakes that we're still glad we made anyway". So do you
have any of those? An old prototype or comp game that you may be keen to build on based
on current community response? A little something you whipped up and abandoned,
but may still be worth putting out there for the lulz? A prototype so bad
that it serves as a shining example to all developers of how to
do it oh-so-wrong? Even something you built years ago that you're proud of but
that people have forgotten? Post! You never know what may happen in the Cave...<br></i>

I'll post a few of my own once I can stop fending off cave bears (read: "working").
