I recall in the last couple of years it's taken close to a week to fill up, though I'm not sure if that's just Satoshi-san working through the backlog.
That said, yeah it's definitely advised to submit within the first couple of days of submissions being open!

Oh good to know!! I actually already have my sketch done so I’ll work speedy to get the final art inandrewelmore wrote: ↑26 Feb 2024, 06:18Heads up, usually submissions are filled within the day once the window opens : (Rubymv wrote: ↑26 Feb 2024, 03:20 I have an idea already. I do these simple cat people drawings and I think it’d be fun to come up with a fake game concept for them. I’m glad I found out about the submission window when I did because it looks like I have a little over a month before the deadline. I’m not sure what type of game it would be yet but since it’s fake I guess the interpretation can be pretty loose. I’m looking forward to doing the text the most I think. Going to check out some of my famicom cassettes and the famicase archives for inspiration.

So maybe there is a bigger science to the things that you can explain to me but for the previous four entries I had no idea and only given out one Famicom-ID (FC-ID) (it was RIAHV).
I found this handy list https://famicomworld.com/game-list/ but I am unsure if I should just make up some code that looks nice or has a hidden meaning for me or ... Could you enlighten me?

For my first entry, I used my initials and the year (MCW-22). I think just making something up is the standard practice!

I'm about to do a crazy late-night last-minute design because I'm on year 5 and I can't break the streak!
I'm torn between either doing a tabletop wargame theme or a surreal psychological horror theme. I'll see what speaks to me the most once I start sketching!
Wish me luck, it's gonna be a late night tonight

I've always used HVC-WH which is just the Nintendo publisher code (I think) plus my initials. I think people generally just make up some code for themselves or for the specific game.Kai wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 23:25 So maybe there is a bigger science to the things that you can explain to me but for the previous four entries I had no idea and only given out one Famicom-ID (FC-ID) (it was RIAHV).

But now that I'm thinking about the formatting of the codes being PUBLISHER-GAME then I suppose mine should have been variations of WJH-XX the whole time instead of HVC-WH
Oh well, doesn't matter anyway!
