Homebrew Idol 3: The Homebrew Horror Show

Submitted by greg; May 17, 2010

Once again it's on -- Homebrew Idol 3 -- the place to be -- PSP-Hacks.com baby! We're doing it real big again this year. The name: The Homebrew Horror Show. The game: that's on you. We want you to create an epic horror-themed game (or app) that'll scare the bejesus out of us -- the readers, the players, the judges -- everyone! So breakout the SDKs and get your code on; you have until August 31, 2010.

Rules and Regulations:

As in our previous homebrew competitions: there is only one (1) entry per person allowed. You are encouraged to update and enhance your entry as many times as you want up to the final submission date. That's it.
Applications must adhere to the horror theme to be accepted. Bonus points will be given for those games that have some form of ad-hoc or online multiplayer mode.
All entries must be submitted here in the Programming & Development forum with the thread title prefix: [Horror Show]. Update this thread with each revision of your game. There is no need to create a new thread. You will also need to email your entry to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Please email your updates too.
You must use a Homebrew Idol 3 splash-screen somewhere in your game and it must include "PSP-Hacks.com" text. Animated or non-animated is fine; it's on you to create a unique design for this spash-screen. If you want to use the Dashhacks logo, grab it here.
Source code submission is not mandatory.
You must submit your final game revision by 11:59 PM on August 31st, 2010 EST. We may be lenient and extend this date, but don't count on it.
PSP-Hacks staff will be judging entries. The final verdict will be given in the week following the competitions closing date.
A public vote will also be initiated after the final submission date where everyone can vote on which homebrew is the best. This will count towards the final overall score; however, we will be careful to make sure this poll isn't spammed with fake votes.

Prizes! All prizes are cash prizes, in CAD funds, paid out through PayPal.

1st Prize: $1,000 -- That's ten Canadian hundos! Count 'em.
2nd Prize: $500
3rd Prize: $250

We'll also be giving out some Dashhacks Ts too. Questions or concerns? Ask in the forum thread. We'll keep you posted should anything change. - Homebrew Idol 3 Discussion Thread - Good luck!

Guys, I know this is a nooby question, but can anyone point me in the direction to get started on PSP programming? All of the threads I've seen have dead links and everything. I have a basic understanding of C++, though that could be improved.

I'd really like to get into future Homebrew-Idol competitions!

Via advertisements, donations etc.

# fuku 2010-05-18 06:54

Oh greg you sneaky scammer, I should have known!

Guys, it's not actually a thousand Canadian dollars like advertised, we've been had!

# fuku 2010-05-18 06:58

OH SHIT YOU ARE RIGHT

We've lost on 25.436 USD, it's just horrible! D:

# 5h4d0w 2010-05-18 09:13

Any restrictions on language (c/c++/lua/etc)? Not that it matters, I couldn't make graphics if my life depended on it.

# thaddius 2010-05-18 10:05

Where I come from we call Canadian $100 bills 'Bordens'.

# fuku 2010-05-18 10:09

Canada?

# Searcher> 2010-05-18 16:11

101010101010% agreed

# pspnoob 2010-05-18 17:42

And how exactly was I supposed to know to Google that exact phrase? Go cut yourself, kid.

# Ryan Ebalida Bliss 2010-05-18 19:04

# thaddius 2010-05-19 14:05

# hardhat 2010-05-19 16:19

Cor course you can use any language you like. Just make something great. But maybe not as good as my entry. :)

# Dark Alex 2010-05-25 20:58

# Kanan 2010-05-31 16:47

# Logical 2010-07-23 02:09

Your homebrew competition is the way to get more new and cool games. Soul of competition and money rewards is the best motivation. Thanks

# Flare 2010-08-29 15:47

I know his comment seemed kinda dickish, but he did actually assist you. At least be grateful for that, and if you want more pleasant and useful responses, do a little research first. people respond much better to: "I have no programming experience so i want to start with LUA. Where could I find some good start up resources for PSP development, and is there anything I should know to watch out for beforehand." The amount of times questions just like yours have been asked make them almost equivalent to spam. People get irritated, this comment is more to any readers who have asked the same question than yourself. It is meant to be informative, not berating.

# Flare 2010-08-29 15:49

My apologies, my last comment was intended to reply to #13 pspnoob's comment, I don't know why it didn't attach there, but oh well. please consider that its location.

# Stella Tomka 2011-01-30 01:33
