Here's a quick rundown of the competition worklogs that I found either the most promising (with high ambitions for game), most productive, or most readable. I believe I'm obliged to inform you that the opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of the website developers, just mine. But I'm always right.

So, in no particular order.

Gobliz's Worklog is probably the most productive so far. The guy's got two videos up of his opus 'Capn' Jimbo' in wip stage. Looks very promising, but minus a million points for pirates.

Yonni's Worklog seems pretty ambitious. Planning an open-ended (albeit overly piratey) adventure. Kudo's for at least thinking of ninja's.

Dennis' Worklog no longer contains ninja's. This is a shame. However, the Belgian Sensation is actually giving himself deadlines. One of the few examples of a competitor actually planning their time. Or at least publishing the fact on the internet.

Shaggylish's Worklog actually has a demo up, albeit without graphics. He promises pirates. I think that the way the character seems to float thus far suggests he should go for a ninja motif. (I like ninjas).

Rockford's Worklog is a curious addition because he only has two posts, and he changes game halfway through. I am only including his entry on the grounds I want him to do that dinosaur tourist park game. It sounded freaking cool.

But at least he's not doing pirates!

Tovi's Worklog made me lol all over the place. All over the desk. The curtains. Hell, the lamp. Zombie Robot Ninja Pirate Battlefield Extreme is a hell of a name.

xAD's Worklog is about Pron, man. Freaking Pron.

And finally, the best worklog of them all. Although also curiously devoid of ninja's.

To get you guys fired up over ninja's, watch this.

You're not totally being fair not mentioning some other worklogs that show good progress (for example Justin123's game, and more!). Ferret made a list of all competition worklogs. :) I think everyone is doing pretty good so far, some faster than others. But the fastests aren't always the best! Everbody keep it up! :thumbs:

Actually, Justin's one looks really awesome. I wish I hadn't missed it. I couldn't include everyone. But everyone will at some point get a mention.
