I'd like to participate; I had decided on the battle system and themes which I'd like to incorporate, but one thing that I can't decide on is graphics...

A silent word to my chicken monster, who I am now scrapping after working on it for an hour yesterday and making animation for after determining it just wasn't scary.



Pleasant dreams, sweet prince.

Well it' not like you face public ostracism if you don't finish. This is just a nice motivator to get you up and game making.

who says you have to stop working on it when the event is done?
After the event, complete it to it's completeness!

Hmmm…if it wasn’t for the fact that I have a ton of projects on the go that seriously need to get finished I would join this in a heartbeat (considering that I ACTUALLY have an idea for it).

…It looks like I’ll have to sit this one out.

But, hey – I’ll be rooting for you guys on the sidelines! And, who knows!? Maybe I might happen to review one of your "horrific creations" somewhere down the road. :)

Hmm. Well I have work and stuff but I 'd consider joining one of the teams maybe as an Idea Man" and stuff. Last ti9me it was so crazy though I'm good with ideas

author=kentona
I don't have any ideas for this, so I mostly signed up just to get notices and track the event as it goes along.

Hmm- I could provide the ideas and some of the graphics, but am not very good at actual coding currently.

Need someone to help out with the work also. I already made the story now I just wanted to work on a team. Pm me if your interest along with your google account for access via Google docs.

Edit: If no one want to join me, I will just work on my own.

If there is anyone who'd just like to do something small but not a full game, do consider joining the team for the third of the Map Madness series.

Clicky the Linky for details~

Basically a collaborative game where you guys make maps and (in this case) mini-stories and I sew them into one cohesive mass. If you want an idea of what the games would turn out like check out The Here and Now of Yesterday or Where End Times Saddest Songs.

Hi, I'm Mr.X and I'm new here. So pleased to meet you all.
My English isn't strong but I try to do my best.
My game is a survivor horror game about a little girl, rabbit and plants.
I started the project yesterday, and I hope it'll be finished before deadline.

we already made a real horror game. it's called "we lowered the experience curve but forgot that Oushi's breath attack damage is based on the target's level"

edit: also the real horror here is all the conditional branches i'm going to need for broken/repaired characters hahahahh kahhdfkalshdfaksf hhaahskldnf, iofsdnklm uotrjdfnkvm, 4hu ufj e RMVXACE WHY DO YOU NOT LET ME DO ELSIF CONBRANCHES WHILE EVENTING

I'd usually:
1. Do the logic using the custom values in the attack calculations field if possible (isn't always, but something to consider - you can include a special variable you calculate via script ahead of time)

2. I do a script event or call a function I wrote in the script that does a case or if/else with all the logic I need and sets the final "case" you want for the event code into a variable and then I use that in the event code
