How about one of the suggested mini games for Infection? ^^
NOTICE! NOTICE!

I am instituting a raffle for this, post-event.


Post-All Hallows' Event II Review Challenge: kentona's Nostalgia Edition

Review a game made for the All Hallows' Event II during the first, oh, 3 weeks of November, and you will be entered in a draw to win one of four Steam games! I have 2 copies of Final Fantasy VII and 2 copies of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition to give away. (I loved those games back in the day, hence the 'nostalgia edition' moniker)

Details to be confirmed on November 1st!

You the practice of self-promotion

Hey, love that challenge! Now I do have an excuse to play some gams and write a review for at least one of them. Regarding the prizes, those are definitely oldies but goodies that I've played a long time ago. I wouldn't mind continuing my lucky giveaway streak ... Which reminds me I haven't done anything recently regarding my other prizes (sighs),

I probably will do an abs! ID really like to.
Hmm.
I spent the first week hmming and haaing over whether I was willing to take a break from my current project to enter this or not. Still not 100% committed yet, but we do have an interesting idea now. Might flesh it out over the next day or two and see if it's going to lead to anything significant.

Do it. Take the plunge. It's just three weeks. I originally thought "Hmmm. Can I actually make something worthwhile in this time? Will it interfere with that one-night Salsa lesson? I guess I'll go for it." And now I'm having so much fun. Never would have made a game like this normally.

It's just a matter of my current project is being actively worked on, and I'd hate to kill the momentum it has going. It's got a target demo date set and everything.

I've had both successful and unsuccessful contest projects before, so I know how it goes with these things. In fact, the game I'm currently working on is the first game in a long time that's not for a contest.

But... I am already attached to the inspiration that hit tonight.
Oh man, I forgot to suggest Mind Fuck and Nightmare as categories for this event. >.<; I have the perfect nightmare, too, including sheep, even! (Think skeletal wolves in rotten sheep's skin, herding mind-washed people to a place of no return every night. Yes, I dreamt that. No, I didn't wake up crying thank you very much... or not much, anyway. ;.;)

That said I have two possible ideas - one being a Battle Royale/999/Liar cross-type game with teams and being able to play both sides (killer and survivor); the other being a Real Time Experience, where you have one hour to run around and explore the Witching Hour (13th hour). When time runs out, you wake in your bed and depending on what you did, certain endings are gained. (Like, for instance, if you killed the scarecrow, perhaps you wake to your father having been murdered in his sleep...)

The problem with the Witching hour one is that I don't want to take too long on the game so I don't get carried away and miss out on finishing MaMa. With a lot of choices comes a lot of coding and endings mean more conditions and coding. That, and it doesn't quite fit any of the themes.

I can swing the other into a survival horror, though, but I'm going to have to set plot points up and there's a lot more writing involved.

Maybe I'll flip a coin or something, but that's where I'm at, currently. How about you guys?

Hm i Wonder if i can pul somethi goff here/

As I said I think it's wisest for me to concentrate on the MaMa entry first; that way I know I'll have at least 1 thing to show for my troubles.

LouisCyphre and I already have three google docs going, haha. I also need to get a robot to do my mapping for me.
author=CAHRULL
Welp. I went from "this is interesting," to "maybe I'll help someone's team with graphics," to "solo project with custom graphics, go go go!"

Although I'm probably at a severe disadvantage for squandering the entire first week in deciding whether or not to participate...oh well. C'est la vie!
I haven't even started visualizing the conceptualization process yet. I should probably just give up now and do the mapping for someone, or something.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could make?
The only idea I had was after seeing a billboard for a play here, and it was titled Regina has pretty ghosts. That just sounded like an interesting title, and I figured I could come up with something inspired by that. Like maybe looking up some local ghost stories. But so far...nothing.
My game page got accepted Now all I have to do is to work on my game and be done with it.
