Story:
Once upon a time, there was a little boy who, like most boys, loved ice-cream. He watched
eagerly as the ice-cream shop owner scooped the last scoop of his favorite flavor when suddenly, a regal looking man with a large mustache burst into the shop demanding the same flavor--it was
the Mustache King. The shop owner gave the boy's cone to the Mustache King.
"Who was that, and why did you give him my ice-cream!?" demanded the boy of the shop owner.
The owner replied, "That was the Mustache King, and all must obey the 'stache of the king."
"Who made him king?"
"By the laws of our beloved moustachracy, whoever bears the moustache of a king shall rule over all."
The boy left in a huff but returned a week later, his upper-lip wielding a mighty, yet untested, moustache. He was determined to become the Moustache King!

Gameplay plans...
• Randomisation, everywhere. Though it will be partially controlled when it improves gameplay.
• The core game revolves around simply surviving. The longer you survive the faster you travel and the harder the enemies. You gain points based on your position on the screen, keeping to the right will earn you more points but you'll need quicker reflexes to avoid the oncoming obstacles.
• One of the main enemies will be the walls above and below which must be avoided and are ever-changing. There will also be regular enemies to provide more variety and can be shot down for currency.
• Your ship can be upgraded in many ways, such as speed, shield and lots of weapon varieties. Your main weapon will have infinite fire, while your secondary weapon has a power gauge which can run dry.
• Bosses.
• Co-op.
• Deathmatch.

Here's a quick mockup to show the style of graphics. I'm hoping to add a lot of content so I wanted something simple. I've also never really attempted this style so it'll be interesting to see how I get on.

Inspiration
"BENDER" by Akitoshi Shimizu, from Famicase 2011
image

Story
Bender sees you starring as a Victorian Strongman at a travelling circus. Your skill is being able to bend pieces of metal to the specific angle that the audience demands!

Gameplay
This will be a reaction/skill game. Holding down the single control button will bend the metal. Release the button when you think you have reached the desired angle. The first few bending attempts will have tutorial text displayed.

Points are scored for bending the rod accurately, with some tolerance around the perfect score. Watch out - you only get one attempt at a bend! Inaccurate bending will cause the audience to become angry. If they get too angry, it's game over!

Over the course of a single game you will receive different rods to bend. Different metals bend at different rates, dependent on their tensile strength. As well as being able to judge angles quickly, learning the feel of the different metals is the key to success. Once you have encountered each type of metal, things will then be mixed up and become more difficult.

I may also add different thicknesses of metal, we'll see. If everything goes well I may add a second, time-attack game mode.

Latest version

You die when all the skulls are destroyed by the enemies.

Regular skull: doesn't do anything, gains a purple skull upon hit.

-------------------------------------
I only found out about the competition last week, so this is more of a gamejam for me. I'm not really looking into making the best game in the competition, but just to have some fun and experience.

I picked the following cover since I loved the main characters design.

image

Development
Language: as3
Engine: Flashpunk for input, rendering & sound, rest is custom.

Gameplay
It wasn't very hard to come up with some first ideas since the art portraits a pretty recognizable game enviroment;
- the main character is holding an object
- the field behind the character contains multiple similiar objects
- 3 angry entities in the background.

I wanted to make an arcade-ish game because the time doesn't really allow for anything else.
So I figured that the player would have to protect their field of skulls from the hostile enemies.

image

The enemies approach from the bottom and all the throwable items are placed at the top.
I plan on creating multiple kinds of skulls , some that split into two lanes to be able to hit multiple enemies at once, etc.
I'm still not really sure what causes different skulls to spawn, but it will probably be based on kills or points.

The goal is pretty standard, obtain as many points as possible/survive as long as you can.
The game probably ends when you either run out of skulls somehow or if a certain amount of monsters cross the top section.

Art
I'm not an artist, and the limited amount of time doesn't help. So I decided to go for the good old pixelized look. There will only be 4 different characters and some skulls and enviroment props. That's all I can manage :(
I'm pretty pleased how it turned out so far, so all is good.

I'm looking forward to see other entries of this cover :)

It's never too late to join an interesting game challenge! To start off, this is the cart I picked:

image

Story

There's no story of course! How can I build a story in such a short development time? You're a little cure creature named Lumiko, lost in a random world!

image

Inspiration

"You chose such a boring cart, man!". I know it's not the best cart of the archive, but it's the only one that inspired me to work on something. When I first looked at it I had to turn my head. Jackpot! I want to reproduce this feeling, I want to put the brain in that awkward situation similar to when you try to read something upside down.

"Why?" you ask. "Because" I reply.

Development

I'm building the game using Game Maker: Studio. I'm not a programmer, and GML is the most comfortable programming language for me.
Now, my goal is to recreate that strange feeling I presented few lines before. How to do that?

I think I can obtain that feeling trough the game controls.

The first idea was to create a game that required you to use your laptop tilted of 90°. The idea was cool, but gameplay-wise it was unable to find something interesting enough.

I decided to go for something less particular but effective: a lot of 2D games are based on the change of gravity direction. The point is that the controls change depending on the gravity direction in order to make the experience more comfortable to the player and less confusing. I'm going in the opposite direction. I'm building a game in which you can change the gravity direction, but the controls remain the same: in this way the brain needs to process more information in order to provide good hand-eye coordination. Confusing? Good!

I have a few ideas floating around on possible gameplay, but I think I am going to try and make the game as if someone was taking photographs of a starry summer night. The player will have a set number of photographs to take, and their photos will be given a score depending on the number of meteors, centering, focus, etc. I plan to make it a laid-back game, with slow music, soft visuals, and calming sound effects. I want it to be something you would want to curl up on the couch playing. I plan on using Construct 2 as the main compiler and engine, as it is pretty simple to utilize, but I might use some Action Script 3 if I can get around to learning a bit in my spare time.

The cart I will be using:

The game will be a top down twin stick style (ok no sticks but two sets of keyboard keys) shooter based on the premise of rescuing your girl from the Tower of Doom. The game will feature 3 bosses, hopefully around 5-7 different enemy types and 6 unique weapons.

The idea for this comp is one of my favourite of all time and I'am pretty much desperate to have something to submit - just hoping I can keep up with the quality of games finished so far.

Good luck if you are still trying to finish and heres to a long night :-).

With a whole 5hrs and 19 minutes to spare my game is finally complete :-) It was pretty much completed in the last 7 days or so (most of it in the last day or two), so I'm pretty happy with the result but its definitely a little way off what I hoped it would be.

In Dan and the stone mask you play as an extraterrestrial hunter that travels around worlds killing other species in order to satisfy his tribal god, Dan. The planets will be randomly generated, and you will be able to upgrade your spaceship with the masks you steal from your victims. The main objective is to visit as many planets as possible and get the highest score before diying.

Getaway to Nowhere is a hybrid racing and memory game for Windows. You can download the self-installing executable here. Although there is sadly no in-game sound or music, I recommend playing this in the background: Juno Reactor, Pistolero. In case, it's not obvious from playing, you must follow the signs and memorize the directions that they lead you. Each time you complete the route, one addition intersection is added, and all of the previous signs are broken. Enjoy!

Original Starting Post:

I really like the style of this case, and am going to try to reproduce the feel of it in game form. I was originally excited to use GM:Studio (which I recently purchased the license for). But I feel like I have a much better shot at capturing this style with some custom shaders in Unity3d (which I haven't used in the last year).

The plan for gameplay is to create a top down racing game. I'd like to play around with dynamically tweaking rendering styles to draw attention to different areas. I was also thinking about a Bastion-esque build the world in front of you effect, but there are many other details to work out before playing too much with that.]]> Entry: Matagi http://www.agbic.com/discussion/53/entry-matagi Sat, 23 Jun 2012 12:13:51 -0400 d_durham 53@/discussions Here's a link to the finished game:

image

Ishihara, based on the above image of an Ishihara colour blindness test, will be a super simple arcade shooter in the vein of asteroids.

In a bit more detail: The gameplay all takes place within a circle in the centre of the screen, and the player's task is to fly around this space collecting as many shiny objects as they can in the limited time they are given. As time wears on, the space fills with balls of different size and colour that will get in the way of the shiny object so that the play space resembles a deep-space ball pit. Luckily, the player is armed with some bombs, useful for blowing stuff out of the way. In order to get that 'asteroidy' feel, balls of similar colour gravitate towards eachother, forming clumps, whilst balls of dissimilar colour repel eachother.

I actually started on this project about a week ago when I realised my other entry to this competition just wasn't fun. Got a pretty solid version running already and I intend to put apply finishing touches this weekend. If nothing else, it looks pretty and is great fun just to much around in the floaty ball pit, blowing apart clumps of balls.]]> Entry: Meteor Night (III) http://www.agbic.com/discussion/68/entry-meteor-night-iii Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:16:57 -0400 gold_ninja 68@/discussions TinyCartridge.com, quickly checked out the rules here and began work on a Meteor Night game without realising there were already two under way.

I have only made one game before using Flixel, so I don't have much experience. Because of this my game idea is pretty simple and quite different from the others: You and your loved one sit watching the stars on a hill somewhere. Your loved one is getting pretty sleepy in the warm summer air, so when a shooting star darts across the sky you must wake your loved one so that they might catch a glimpse of it. Doing so gains you a heart, gain enough hearts and you win both their affection and The Game!!

I will also include an 'attract mode' where no interaction is required and the game idly plays itself.

Meteor Night

I was browsing all the famicase entries of the last years, searching for some ideas after scrapping other ideas that I just didn't know how to implement correctly in a game and suddenly... I saw this cartridge and thought: "Hey, this looks familiar!" Turns out it's made by Ashley Davis in collaboration with Tiny Cartridge, an artist and a blog respectively that I follow and really like!
After reading their the game description I just couldn't resist, now I have to make this game!

Their idea is "Designed to be played with friends or a date, Meteor Night shows a peaceful sky full of 8-bit stars. Sometimes a meteor will fly across the sky. Turn down the lights, bring a blanket and snacks, and enjoy Meteor Night together."
That's totally awesome and I want to do just that!

But that would be a bit too easy for this competition so I want to add a more game-y part.
My gameplay idea is that the sky is unfortunately completely starless, so the player has to collect all the stars, meteors and all that (sounds a bit like Mario...nah!) to recreate the sky!
So there are two modes, one where you have to collect stars and the other where you can watch the sky like the original idea.
Everytime you collect a star it will be added in the sky and you can show it to your friends and/or a date! Imagine, you complete the sky, watch it with your girlfriend/date/whatever and then you can say "Look, I made this sky, just for you!" I know, sounds a bit stupid but whatever :P

And I though "Maybe the players can customize the sky however they want...?" Dunno if I'll do that and I have yet to think HOW the player will collect stars so that's for the future :D

Stay tuned :)]]> Entry: Vector Planet http://www.agbic.com/discussion/57/entry-vector-planet Tue, 26 Jun 2012 11:08:47 -0400 bplotnik98 57@/discussions
About Me:
Hello! I'm 14 and from the US. This is one of my first games, so I'm really not sure how it's going to turn out! I also only have until July 26th, because after that I'm going to be at overnight camp.
The Game
In Vector Planet, you play as a young CRT monitor. While walking his cat one fine day, the cat gets abducted, and it is up to you to venture into the deep depths of space to retrieve your precious feline in this SHMUP!
Tech Stuff
The game is made in Unity 3d, graphics done in Mudbox, Maya, and Photoshop, all sound from Bfxr and Cfxr.

Hey y'all! In the past week I've been working hard to get this game (which I wasn't sure I could even attempt) in under the wire. It's been my first heavy plunge into Unity and it has been quite a trip!

I was compelled to choose this one as it felt like a curiously minimal slate to expand upon and to see what imaginative direction I could take it in:

In any case I have learned a ton, and this weird, tiny game is the product of my labor.
It has weird sounds, surprising visuals, a story, and the manipulation of objects with buttons. What's not to like?!

Windows Version

Sorry for the Sendspace links, but it was the only one that wasn't giving me trouble at the moment.

Spoiler-Free Screen Shot!

Controls:
Mouse = Clicks.
Escape = Quits the game.

The game has some flashing lights, not too, too many, but if you have photosensitive epilepsy you might want to skip it.

Thanks all! I'm looking forward to trying all the awesome entries, good luck to you!]]> Entry: Dive http://www.agbic.com/discussion/60/entry-dive Wed, 27 Jun 2012 19:36:39 -0400 tr67 60@/discussions

A visually rewarding experience, Dive releases you into your choice of 3 exoplanet seas. Slowly falling towards the bottom, you'll encounter environmental objects that affect your path and exploration. Austere and soothing, the more you find, the more there is to find. Original music sets the mood for each world.

The game will be written in client-side web code (xhtml1.1/html5/js) but with the basic restrictions of the NES chipset. (8b palette, 8x8 based sprites, assets per screen, chiptunes, etc) This will allow the game to be played on as many devices as possible, with the option of a legit NES port in the future. No scoring, no unlocks and no skillz required, it's intended to be an open interaction that is simply enjoyable as-is. A musician is on board for an original score.


Coding is about to begin, so I figured I better start a thread!]]> Entry: Pink! Pink! Bento Machine http://www.agbic.com/discussion/59/entry-pink-pink-bento-machine Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:02:37 -0400 PirateHearts 59@/discussions

This is in no way related to my AGBIC 2010 entry "Pink! Pink! Bunny Machine." Not even a little.
