Why don't you people all DC mail each other rather than communicate in the forums? I should think that someone would notice a flashing mail icon before they think to look in this thread.
Got mine and Bricnic's basic engine done!!! trying to modify it now to include a few extra things but pretty much finished. Just need to add graphics and sound
We do send mails ya goobus. I was just being silly and saying, "We really need to think of something!" I'm going to brainstorm today. I made my last entry in less than two days, so I'll think we'll be ok.
Sadly, I'm gonna lose because you can score up to 25 points for sound, and I have absolutely no musical talent whatsoever, and since marks are deducted for ripped effects, they'll probably consist of me shouting "boom!" and "bang!" and "pow!" and such like.
sound is 20points. and gameplay is 25. id worry more about every other area if you cant to sounds. make it have awesome gameplay. awesome graphics. original.

Sound is 20, the ripped category is 15. It also depends on the level of... rippedness.

~Belgarath
The game is going nicely, perhaps shockingly good. I m vs richard
Anyway, what does theme arts have to do with sound? (20 points)???
Shouldn't gfx bring the most points. Since it is theme arts. Sounds r not art.
Like for ex. a sound of doors closing.
Yeah music is art, and singing, and dancing. I was talking bout sounds, but i see the point.
Anyway, I never made any music, I made a few 5 years ago, i was thinking bout using those.
But electronic and swordfighting don't go together.
Anyway my story s bout a painter... since i am one
so it's the arts!!!
Dang! This round is hard! I'm having second thoughts about my project, but I've done too much and spent too much time to just put it away and start something new.

Theme is "The Arts", which includes many more media than just graphics. Films for example are part of The Arts. Films
have sounds, music, graphics etc., just as your game will
Music is sound and music is art, think orchestras. Why play music in an art museum if it isn't art? That would detract from the art, but it doesn't because it is art. Now the discussion is closed.

Sound is not art. So that's settled.
I don't know about that... There are artists out there who create seemingly random sounds and then it's dubbed "art". Besides, there are some nice artistic sound generators (mostly in the form of Flash movies) out there too.
Just thought it should be mentioned again (in the proper thread for round 2) that the filesize limit for this round is 20mb, not the original 5mb limit.
So, how's the games goin?
I thought it was time for screenshots!
Here's a screen from my game, I don't use photoshop or anything so it's just basic pixel-art.

Sure thing, deadline is soon though!
Making a game becomes twice as easy if you continue a game from the week before.

nice! you draw cool ;*-(
let show you mine, NON pixel arted thingy
Spacepig galaxy ftw! I wish to the heavens I had new graphics for splotches! I suppose I could just make some new levels... Maybe I'll have an inspiration and make something really quick... but I doubt it.
If it didn't have to be a game, I could try to finish one of my cartoons really quick... but poo, the deadline is soon.
im not entering anything this round either. despite the fact that i spent nearly a week spriting. i have not nearly enough to show for it in gameplay. so im dueling my partner and taking the loss this round.
i spent all week working on my engine, and just started the game today, but I deprived myself of sleep for nearly a week now, so I'm working at a permanent twilight hour fix. I've turned the entire environment into a kind of stream-of-consciousness work; suffice to say that your space ship gets shot down by a panda spewing a rainbow.
Pixlthief, your game looks cool, as do the others on this thread! However, i have hit a mental block and haven't started anything yet! So it looks as though i'll not be submitting anything for this round and i will indeed be out! But never mind - playing everyone's entry will go some way to making up for it all!
For the filesize limit, by 20mb do you mean 20 megabits (Mb) or 20 mibibytes (MB)? 20 megabits is just a stupid way of saying 2.5 MibiBytes, so I just wanted to check...
just finished mine, if you'd call it that. The game over screen will disappoint like none other, but I'm leaving for my cabin for the weekend in a few hours, so I had to rush this out.

I'm not really sure what my game is. I just whipped it up to be able to test some PMO stuff. Then I added more areas, water, etc. I suppose people might use if for PMO help?
My bad. Here's the link with open source MMF2 doc.
Le crap! My dad is going to be using the computer all day today! I hope I'll be able to upload it in time. It IS finished! I'll try to get it up as soon as I can.
Like usual i had an awesome idea but was unable to complete it in the end therefore i made a game with hours of repetitive gameplay using the graphics jon and george lambert drew for me (sorry guys/guy) the graphics are all theres except the mushroom guys, and the spore. so ya. hopefully were the only team and we dont take a loss.
...
next round im working alone...

I think it was my fault. I'm not too good at drawing people graphics, and then I got a job, and with school and homework I had no time to work on graphics after I gave you the desert graphics.
Anyway, I know what I'm going to make for the third round.
This thread isn't nearly as popular as the original Tourey thread was...
Indeed, but that's fine with me. There are less people this round... school started (for some)... People aren't signing up or asking about rules... etc etc.
1. movement for the protector is not needed... since i haven't moved him at all(unless u add range to his attack).
2. u could set some button so the protector shoots by himself... holding the mouse button s okay, but...
3. When building, u could set to see how much a tower has hp. so i would know which tower to build new one in front of.
4. perhaps a new enemy... i v lost only one tower throught the whole game. ( i reached bout 20 lvls r more)
5. game crashes eventually...
I posted this now, yesterday i just gave it to peblo. readme is in the rar.
I wanted to make a skill to freeze those bastards when they go for a super leg kick, but i didn't do it. So u will probably end up dead several times.
I made a AI where those guys actually use their shields... but since i had to recode it. I forgot to add it again... i still have the animations so i will update it and post it.
Glad this rounds over. Martin sid that he wouldn't make a game which is why I just made the PMO thing. But now I don't really want to team up again. Maybe I will...
Well i made a big mistake at the end. Sry the game is actually called Gasei final noukon.
Which means Master painter final dark blue. Anyway i don't know what sakei means but anyway i updated it. And now is a little better to play.
U can now use freeze and collect coins from enemies. Bonus damage against frozen enemies... and that's bout it.

Glad you liked it!
Ha ha, I didn't have time implent that which I had planned. But I am gonna continue on it for sure! I'm quite pleased with the result of a week's labor.
So to give you some response:
1. I intended to have range for the Protector, but just didn't have time to implent it! It's quite funny though that you can upgrade his speed for no reason!
2. Good idea! I could add a smaller turret which automatically targets nearby enemies.
3. There is code structure to get information about all units currently deployed, but like everything else, I didn't have time to actually make it happen.
4. There is supposed to be a myriad of different enemies with their own strengths and weaknesses, but time constraints yet again!
5. I believe the shear mass of actives could crash the game when reaching the limit, but it shouldn't happen before wave 50-60 I reckoned. In what way does it crash for you?
Thanks for the input! If you could answer the crash question it would really help the development! Cheers! /EE

Hey if someone could make a little Ranking Page or something, listing all people still in and their scores, wins, losses, that sort of thing. Or are you gonna make a new forum for every round, and just say it there?

This is turning out to be a pretty successful competition, and the chances of another coming around maybe next year are high. With like a couple weeks of notice ahead of time too.
Approximately 15 people are out of the competition after this round.

I bet it would be real fun to be in with the last 3! Probably would be 2 rounds right? One round for last player to make 3rd. And then the final for 2 and 1? Fun to see what games are gonne come out those weeks, if people are competing for the first prize!

I probably should've seen the fallacy of having a ripped category, since the internet is huge and resources are everywhere. You'll notice a couple games weren't judged by me. It's still fair this way since you aren't all head to head. I've noticed that the longer timeframe I give you, the better the games turn out. Hum...
Yay! I like the way you give a comment on each game. Who were the other judges?
Also (not trying to rush you) what are the details on next round? Do you need time
to come up with a theme?
