thats what we have hit, with a low of new ppl active in the forum, minimal homebrew being made, it seems we have hit a platue, and are stuck with simple nes style games, personally i think this compettion was a bad idea, because no one is putting any work out because they are saving it all up for the tourny

I watched beardface update WiiPhysics a few days ago, I know quite a few people chugging away at their homebrew (myself included), and not even waninkoko is taking a break.
If you think forum activity is low, maybe you're hitting refresh too much. Go outside.

The rules state that it must be new homebrew that has never been released so that's why we still see updates, as for slowing down Xylite is right, a lot of members have left due to the forums and even though the old ones are back up, the old members probably haven't checked for them yet. Once the contest is over, hopefully things start picking up again.Quote

What are you saying? The contest is having no effect. Plenty of new apps have been released (Doom, Wii Shooting Gallery) and updated (WiiPhysics, Mahjongg Wii). I actually agree with tona, I'm not expecting much to turn up from this. Having said that, anything that does turn better be pretty good considering all the development time. Furthermore, exactly what apps do you know of that are not being released due to the contest? I chose not to enter it (didn't like requirements) and don't know of really anyone that is.

Doom came out? I see a little dip in code writing but I can't keep up with the homebrew anyways. The dip is expected since school in anywhere I know of is starting and schoolwork is taking over. This LITTLE DIP will help come up with new games that are better than ever because homebrew for wii isn't 1 year old yet meaning all the "dead time" in school can be used for coming up with ideas. Look at Galaxy Stations (supposed to help them, crap better get back to that with graphics) slowy making it there and will be best out there in the feature list.

forum wise, i havent been here in about 2 months, and there is only like 10 new topics in each cat >.>
homebrew wise, i see wii physics becoming great, but that is all i see going any where fast.
the homebrew seems like a phase, it picked up and went fast for a while, but then it kinda just stopped

Although I know you've seen this already... orly?Quote

I actually agree with tona, I'm not expecting much to turn up from this.
Be that as it may, it's true that there aren't that many original games out there yet. From a gaming perspective, besides ports and emulators, there are only a handful of games they'd want to play. However, that's just one viewpoint of course, it's all about what you're interested in. Personally I'm interested in every single piece of homebrew for the Wii be it a game, hack, application, etc.Quote

Everybody's interests are different.
I was actually planning on releasing my own game for the competition (I just want a USB Gecko D: ), but I wasn't "saving it up" for the contest. I was already working on it when the contest was announced and figured that it'd be nice to commit to a concrete due date. That ended up being too soon (there's no way I'll be done in 6 days), so meh.

Cool, I hadn't seen this, looks ace!
Maybe there aren't that many original games, but rather than just saying "Hey, we've not got any games here" maybe they could start making one. Maybe I'm overreacting. Even if you (not you specifically, just general) don't know how to code, do graphics, or compose music, there's nothing stopping you from writing a design document and asking. Okay, that's not guarenteed to get help, but it's pro-active...Quote

I think we all personally need to just stop talk of "there isn't much homebrew being written that fits for me" talk. Lets go pro-active and support those of the community willing to write the software wether you are wanting that program or it doesn't matter to you, you should still have the same attitude.

Yeah my (free) host sucks horribly. Well there's a screenshot (pretty outdated though, a month or two old) hosted externally. My site's back up for the time being, though.Quote

I do agree that it's not very productive to whine about the lack of games and that people should do something proactive. I guess I'm just trying to say that you should expect people to whine :P
