This competition is focusing on any aspect of the shmup genre
under a few conditions. The game must star a fantasy/medieval
dragon as the main character. The dragon must shoot
something, either lasers out it's eyes, or some sort of gas
out of its mouth. (or both)
The competition setting must be in a fantasy realm that
appears to be in the medieval era mixing with magic that has
been seen in many "fantasy" style games / movies. One could
think of goblins, orcs, or other dragons, perhaps large
birds, etc, etc, etc.
Judges will be rating the games on most original, best
graphics, best sound, and of course, best of the best! The
contest is running from May 1st, to July 1st, and a more
