Description

The war ends. The corpses of dead and dying litter the battlefield of what was once a lush, imaginative landscape. Medics roam the fields, tending to those injured and near to death.

You are one of these medics. Scattered around you are the bodies of those games that vied for your attention in this battle. Who you save is in your hands.

Yup, it's that time of year again! Combining Release Something and the annual Halloween event, we task you with tending to those games you left unfinished and broken on the battlefield of creativity.

The twist this time? Just finish your fucking games! New or old, as long as it's unfinished it's viable for this event. Get to it, save those lives!

Rules
- Start on October 1st
- Finish by October 30th
- Game can be abandoned or something you are currently working on. As long as it begins the event unfinished and ends up being completed or released by the end of it, it'll count!
- There needs to be a decent chunk of work done on it over the course of the month.
- Any engine, any resources, etc
- Must have a game page made and accepted to the site BEFORE the end date.

To Submit:
- You need a gamepage that has been accepted to the site (either newly made or an older one from the initial creation of the game)
- Sign up to this page as a participant.
- Click the Submit button at the top-right of the page.
- Upload the game to your gamepage.
- Choose the proper download for the game from the drop-down list and hit Submit.


Badges
- A badge for those who release a completed game - 60 MS
- A badge for those who release a demo - 30 MS

I hate it when I'm stuck on something and I end up wasting too much time on it T-T
the frustration is damn real...

same. It's been 8 years (so far)
6 years for me. Thought I was the only one.

Been 3 years developing my current project. Next Saturday is actually the third year anniversary! (October 22nd 2019 is when I started) But anyways due to my own incompetence I just wasted the last 4 days (Friday to Monday) acomplishing absolutely nothing gamedev related because I left the charger for my laptop at my mom's house when going to my dad's for the weekend so I couldn't do anything on my PC all weekend. Now I have work today till Thursday so I won't be getting much done this week either until this weekend. On a more positive note, I think I'm getting a new PC soon! I've almost saved $400 and then I'll split with my dad to get a $800 gaming PC on Amazon I've been eying for the holidays. Good times.

I've got the perfect quote for you, Krimson.

Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere
Richard had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.

I've had this project on a harddrive for 11 years at this point.

Spent more years not working on it than working on it at this point but still.

I don't get it.
There will be more events. We have a release something at least once a year (either by itself or as a halloween event, as with this one) so don't overstress if it doesn't work out this time around.

Well, a little bit of what Liberty is saying, but, in more general terms, what you are saying suggests to me that things are generally popping up uninvited/unwanted.

...yes?

*Edit: Yay stats!
My game is both incomplete and macabre, perfect for this event! Yay!
Demo complete! I'll do my best to add the rest of the game before this event's over, but I can't guarantee that.

how reassuring to see other people with 5+ years on their dev time

though I personally consider 2013-2019 a wash the years still unfortunately exist to haunt me.

Halfway point-- my goal is for a complete playable demo and extend out from there if I have time. I should be okay for a release if I don't do anything stupid, like creating full sets of idle frames and walks for the playable members.

Cough.
So, who thinks is gonna finish this on time?

For what it's worth, I was able to release a demo of my project earlier in the month. I don't mind not submitting that demo to this event (and therefore not getting the MS boost from the achievement). It felt accomplishing enough just to be able to get to that point in the game's development!
