Indie in a Week 2!

[+ Crescent 474]

Your project looks so awesome, Riki. @w@ It's looks like Lunar Quest! I am eager to play it~ <3

Why thank you, though it's just a title screen, so there's nothing particular in here. =P

 

I'll write an unique (minigame-type) gameplay + custom simple & unique battle system. To be honest these ideas seems awesome + matching theme, but how it will turn out - I have no idea.

One word - experiment. I love this. =3

 

---Aaaand of course my own silly 8-bit sounds!!! XD =3

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

@Riki: yea, I had so many awesome ideas I wanted to do for this, then BOOM, that theme really made me step back. I wanna do Christmas since I really like using snowy stuff right now - but, but... story...

 

I imagine you to do a "Pony Sleigh Slide" type of game in future for Christmas (not a hint, I swear).

"Santa has lost his present and need shelp retrieving them. Can x help save Christmas and return the presents before the end of the night?"

[Rikifive 3,411]

I'm not sure about story either - but NES games had very simple & short, but unique stories, so I'll make the same. ^^

 

UUoouh that's an interesting idea! I'm having kinda similar gameplay-idea, but without ponies. =3

Also I was thinking about point'n'click horror game, but nah, I rejected this idea. =3

 

... I have no idea what I'm doing. XD

[Tarq 746]

I'm going to join the withdrawal gang; no dramatic-sounding reason, I just won't finish in time and certainly won't have a product I'd be proud of putting my name to. I did get to figure out some cool mechanics like leaving footprints and it was pretty fun writing that scrappy, headstrong young girl kind of MC but it was just turning into a bad Costume Quest. For now I'd rather get back to my main project, but hey, maybe I'll pick this project back up again some time.

 

Good luck to the remaining contenders and thanks for letting me take part Jackus.

Well My Games Mapping Is %80 Story....there is none sprites %100 and core engine %5

[Chadzter01 183]

Awesome games created by awesome game developers! I want to see the end results!       

[Rikifive 3,411]

Actually I got confused by all what I wanted to make, so I have no idea what will happen there. XD

 

Either I'll do something, or create something horrible. =P

[Loriesquare 203]

Either I'll do something, or create something horrible. =P

Or end up doing nothing, amirite? XD

 

I have so much graphics to do it's almost sure I won't finish mine in time unless I somehow draw really fast.

Should've thought of something much more simple to do and just interpreted the theme in a cheap way. I can't waste any more days thinking of another story though...

 

This contest isn't about making a great game... it's about actually finishing a game within the time limit.

Indeed. XD

 

Yeah, that's why my graphics will be cheap. I'm really not sure what is going to happen with gameplay though. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Jeanne d'Ys 166]

Anyway, we'll be able to use outside resources, right? I'm asking this considering a discussion a few pages ago.

 

I mean, my game feels incomplete without YF's neat scripts and Green-Tone's brilliant composition... ;-;

 

 

P.S. Yay, I'm the 13^th follower of this topic~

It's fine if you use freely available 'outside' resources.

 

-------------------

I'm not sure if I'll make it in time... Again. XD

I writing everything by myself from scratch - from title, menus to gameplay and so far I have nearly all menus complete.

 

So... Besides unique (but possibly bad) menus/gameplay, I don't have anything to offer. =P

[+ Crescent 474]

Day 4 progress update is found here.

[Tuckie 59]

It seems like pretty much everyone here is going for those winter holidays. That's why all 'yall better get prepared for this upcoming MASTERWORK:

 

It would be hilarious if that was actually my game, right? Maybe it is.

 

 

 

Anyways, I might as well share a few more shots of what I've done since that last tiny screenshot.

 

 

The most recent rendition of the protagonist's room. It's actually in the game now, which is why the protagonist is standing there.

A stroll through the forest.

 

I'm not really into that whole "percentage based progress report" thing. It can be safe to assume, however, that progress has been made (simply as a function of time).

Sure, as long as they're available for commercial use, because some may consider prizes to be commercial.

 

Small theme hint:

Eheheh all these cristmas themed games.. they shall sufferrrr!!

 

What? Nothing happened, resume developing. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ha. So apparently, my Hannukah is safe.

[philteredkhaos 131]

Good thing my game isn't a ChristmaHanukkahWanzaYule game.

 

Lols @Arborday Game.... I like it!

 

I feel like the laziest person here... Not only have I barely gotten any work on my game done, but I am not a graphical artist and I am not a scripter, so it's all stock RTP and some personal edits, for me!

Mine is safe, since it has nothing to Christmas, but just to Winter Holidays.

 

Progress screenshots time!

Menus are programmed, so I can start writing the gameplay. =3

 

Progress scene - Here you can view how far you have got, take a while to rest or upgrade your stats! Checkpoint with convenient autosave! =3

 

 

 

 

 

Feeling too weak? Upgrade your stats!

 

 

 

 

 

YOU CAN HAVE LOTS OF HP! If you die, your upgrades will be kept, which will make stuff easier! (Think of rogue-like-games)

 

 

 

 

 

I love designing menus. =3

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

I'm out. Too much work, and not enough free time, let alone free time to work on a project, is killing me.

 

I'll just keep slowly working on my other snowy game whenever I get time.

 

Dang it Jackus, the next contest, I'm in! Just don't make it a busy period! If it's not busy - I don't have to work so much xD

 

EDIT

Actually, on that note; I can't make a game, but I should be able to maybe judge if you still need judges.

Only if though

If you wanna be a judge, sure. I'd rather have you be a judge and quit than not be a judge at all.

 

For the next contest, i'm thinking...

The first was September, this one is December...

I could call it a Bi-Monthly thing but.. would you get sick of it after a while?

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

Coolios then~ Judging would be easier for me - time wise.

 

Nah, to be honest, I really enjoy this idea.

It provides a challenge, time and resource wise.

I personally want to join because I've had RPGM for 4+ years, and never once published a game.

This was a challenge to change that (and then RL stuck it's nose in).

 

I think it could last a while - and the interest may be down to the theme.

Maybe even a bit of advertisement on RPGWeb might get more attention (I wouldnt post on there though since having 2 topics might be a little confusing).

Especially with MV newly released - it gives developers a chance to "test themselves" and get the hang of the software and try something different from their usual genres.

It would even help someone in a "Developers Block".

 

In Short: No, it won't get boring. Maybe after x amount of months, but I don't see that soon?

(personal opinion though)

[Seriel 830]

I'll keep it Bi-Monthly for now, with different themes every time to spice things up.

Next time, i'm going global, letting people on different RM forums know about it.

If interest grows I may make it it's own website, but that's in the far future.

 

Don't feel you have to enter every time (Though if you do that would be cool)

No, it won't and it depends. There are always new people, so for them this contest will be 'fresh'.

+ there are prizes, so for some people it is worth to test themselves.

[Seriel 830]

Well, depends how long I can maintain the prizes xD

Donations are always welcome.

Speaking of which, there are a load of prizes I haven't added to the list.

And I still haven't worked out how i'll distribute them. :/
