There will be an announcement regarding IGMC on the IGMC twitter account today (as said on their twitter), so it might be this year. But I bet there will be another one next year, so don't stress yourself too much about it.
@OmnislashXX : The rules in the past years require you to start your project at or after the required date, so you'd not be able to enter it anyways. Though you could still use it as motivation to get a demo done?
@watermark, this is a very off topic. The contest should have a different level of experience in RPG maker and Digital art.
It is kind of clear that who going to win. It is encouraged the professional digital artists, but it would discourage the beginners. Look at the arts, you will feel like a failure. Do you agree?
@Kupotepo : I found it handy to enter in 2014 just for the feedback I got. Just make something and don't expect to win for the best time with it, unless you have a way to compete with the big groups with the skilled artists.
@bgillisp, I understand that you get feedbacks for free. You are proved my point If people do not start at same place how it is fair ? It is not about wining. It is about perception of fairness and increase participation. Please do not be offense, it is not attack. It is a suggestion.
Personally I wish it were fairer too, as I feel I cannot compete with those teams that organize for this. Having a solo vs group project category would go a long ways to solving this (though not sure how it could be enforced). But you can still get some benefit out of it if you go into it with the right mindset.
@bgillisp, the website may just create a disciplinary action which similar to if someone are being dishonest the rip resources. I forget that about the aspects of solo and group project. I am thinking over. I agree with you it is hard to create or measure if someone is being honest.
Reminder that a fair amount of winners and placements in the past years weren't the prettiest games but the most polished and fun ones. Just because your game doesn't look amazing doesn't mean you won't win something. YOMOTSU, Cope Island, Remnants of Isolation and other winners were RTP-based games. Just keep that in mind - a fun, polished game will beat out a gallery game every time.
