Description

Time for a bit of randomness! Everyone has one week to make a short game using a randomly given theme from THIS POST!

SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED AS OF 7/13 3PM CST! Good luck with your themes!

HOW IT WORKS:
Sign up for the event. One person only!
You'll receive a randomly assigned theme from a list to build your game with.
Go nuts! There's no rules here, use rips, custom, whatever! Use whatever engine you're most comfortable with! (Creating custom assets before the event starts is perfectly fine, just don't start sticking things in your engine til go time.)
New games only! Event doesn't start for roughly a week, so take that time to sign up, get a theme, and gather your resources and ideas!
People who submit a finished game will receive a sweet makerscore award!
Submit your finished game to the event page before the cutoff date!

Get ready for a big one!
Man, whoever rolls "fart" is going to have a blast!
i've been wanting to get more involved here since forever so i think i'll try this out! but i think i'm being an idiot, because i have no freaking idea how to roll a random word. there's the link to the post and i followed that but it just looks like a ton of comments. what the heck do i do to get a word? am i missing something here?
i feel like it's probably something really simple that i'm going to feel like a total loser for not understanding what to do haha ^^;;;;

After signing up, you'll eventually get messaged your word and it'll be added to the list on the page. It looks like you signed up already, so now you just need to wait a bit.

Anyways, good luck with making the game with whatever theme you get!
oh good thank you so much! i thought it was something like that and i was just looking too much into it lol, thanks!

Roulette~ Roulette~ let's roll for risk and reward~!
Roulette~ Roulette~ better not be brisk, but string a chord~!

and when you get the theme, you better dream, of a time where you actually make a fucking video game~~!
Ah I'm glad Illy's deadline is enough days after anime expo, I was about to have a heart attack.

A Rainbow! So flexible! No, really.

Let's see what I can conjure up...
yay, I got 'linguistics'! I love learning about languages, so I hope I can make something good out of this.

Gaymak the rainbow, seiro. Gaymak the rainbow.
Screw it, count me in. This could be just the thing to get me out of my creative rut.
I'm going to make a good game with bad mapping and earrape, of course

I dunno if "dumb" or "silly" would be a good descriptors for what I'm planning now. "Short", however, is definitely still an aim.
Ok... So my word is ambulatory... I searched it in google, to be sure what it is, but now i'm a bit confused... I thought ambulatory was a kind of hospital care, but it also has another meaning: "a place for walking, especially an aisle or cloister in a church or monastery." (source: Google)
Now, my question is, can i choose between the two meanings?
Romance, eh? This could be interesting.

I'd argue that the word is more centered on the walking aspect, as the 'Ambulatory Hospital Care' is "medical care provided on an outpatient basis" meaning travel, or walking, is a core aspect of it, or something.
This could be exciting. I wonder if anyone will get Phylomortis, that could be a challenging theme to do in a week.

Note for the record I really enjoyed both Phylomortis games I played.
I was expecting a wacky zany prompt and I got like one of the heaviest fucking words in the English language.
