Alright, 5 days have passed since I posted the CK5 grand finale ( CODER KING 5: End of an era - #439 by Taser ). With that being said, now, typically after a few days, I would expect to hear about some ideas brainstormed for the game that you have till the end of 12/15/2025 EST to submit.

========================================================================

Have you got an idea or theme down for your finale submissions yet?
  • I have brainstormed an idea for the finale game and started programming/development.(very good sir)
  • I am still at the drawing board for ideas brainstormed, this may take some time (boi)

My idea is with types of energy-based upgrades for the player’s mechanics or smt. Like chemical, radiant, mechanical, etc. I even have…

This ig.

Trying to finish some other thing, then I can really start development. I really like shops now btw.

Also, oh poop, I forgor to do this poll a long time ago. I kinda do this every year since the grand finale of CK2, so traditionally, CK5 cannot be a part of the CK series without something like this.

Hand over your confidence levels through the finale already, bois
  • VERY GOOD CONFIDENCE SIR, I SHALL WIN THIS COMP, HARHARHARHARHARHAR
  • Slightly more confident
  • Confident, good sir, my work shall be glorious
  • The Grey Area
  • Slightly not confident, purchasing copium on eBay rn
  • Not confident at all, I might come in last place…
  • I’m doomed

@Taser, allow me to carry on your competition. Coder King’s fun, right? And everyone should have a chance to enjoy it!

Nobody should continue Coder King…
Because it’s Taser’s competition, you could make your own.

Hmmmm @RoboVacDev . Well, sorry, but I don’t think I plan on giving my hosting job to others on the forums at the very moment. As far as the name of this very topic goes, being “End of an era“ and all that, it would raise some eyebrows in the future if some forum members were to find a CODER KING 6 on the forums arcade category.

I also kind of stated that this competition has already run past its prime quite a while ago, or something along those lines. It’s time to put it to rest and not drag it out for many more years. This is especially evident in how each CK was dragged out to greater lengths with many forfeits.

(I go more into depth in the post above :up_arrow: )

Now, with all that being said though, I would like to second what @CopySprite said in which “you could make your own,“ its not like I have a monopoly on the entire game jam market in the forums. Heck, we had @Unique host his UAT series (which I’ll admit is way better than whatever I managed to have in the CK series) and both 2 chapters ended eventually with some success.

Alright, I’ll probably start doing these progress checks every 5-7 days. Now, it’s been 12 days, almost 2 weeks, since I posted the grand finale on the topic. Given how I ended up giving you guys all the way till the end of 12/15/2025 EST, I suppose that I’m not expecting anything too much, but hopefully, you guys started the coding development process now.

=========================================================================

So, have you scored an idea for your submissions yet and have you begin coding yet?
  • -100%: No idea thought of yet (boi)
  • 0%: Scored an idea now but have yet to begin the coding process (eh)
  • Unknown%: Scored an idea now and have started in the coding process (good)

Now that we’re done with that, lets check out the betting booth ( CODER KING 5: End of an era - #440 by Taser ), and it seems that @ChimbroDaPro has been scored a high 13/18 votes (72%) from the general public!

Oh yeah, sorry, I’ll probably be dropping out. It’s been fun, but I’m getting really busy with the BARRIER team games, and honestly, it’s just more fun to make uninfluenced games with friends imo
