So, best keep the theme of the next contest a secret.
Otherwise some will start working on their entry a little sooner. And if the contest rules won't be changed  somehow, they'll have a big surpise.

The next contest would probably have constraints other than the vague "dragon" thing, so it would take a bit of luck if a person pre-develops a game. Most people won't want to gamble their free time that way.

I guess the current announcement is okay; no concrete details are given anyway.

The Dragon SHMUP competition only requires people build a shmup of any type that has the main character a being a dragon that spits fireballs.

I think the "only" in their already answers the question about any additional rules

I think the best we can do is wait for Matt's official announcements. There may be a twist somewhere.

Yeah, like 'underwater theme' or 'dragon has three heads', or 'catch a princess some time in the game'...  I think I'd take this time to optimize a 'shmup' code template rather than trying to get a headstart on the next contest, that way you'd be ready for whatever is thrown at us in the future!

Yeah. I personally would start learning OpenLayer. I do intend on entering the next contest, and I think polishing my programming skills would be a better time investment that rushing for a headstart.
