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!

@Delsin7 Of course I am! don't go killing me off now >.>

Free once again from the shackle that is public education, it's time to review some games~

Kill the King by Sam, Theme: Royal

Your game was a lot more futuristic than I expected! Normally it'd be a lot more magic and swords than guns and clones.
A lot of the combat was up to luck. I barely avoided dying thanks to the King deciding to use "knife slash" instead of his HP-demolishing "full clip" >.< Attacks miss left and right. The King missed a reinforce once ._. Well, I wouldn't've had died or anything but still, it was kind of funny. Story-wise, I got both endings. Pretty straight-forward, kill the king, things are good. Let 'im live, he wrecks the world. Standard stuff. Also, the chasing is a bit clunky, I avoided the entire corridor of enemies leading to the King simply by dashing. Nice going on the original art though! Your game was visually very put-together.

Amber Cocoon by Fomar0153, Theme: Metamorphosis

The game mechanic was really novel, and must've been hard to set up. I was never sure if I had enough fodder collected to save me from the dragon, though. Like an idiot the first couple times I played it I just rushed towards the dragon cause it was the only thing in the room but after dying 3 times I realized I was being stupid and needed to get more meat shields to protect myself with xD Enemy levels kept combat challenging, and while it would've been nice to have a couple more skills since I always had way too much mana and not enough health the whole metamorphosis theme thing was immediately apparent. Overall, a bit grindy but nevertheless really fun!

That Damned Redhead by bulmabriefs144, Theme: Irritation

I was a bit hesitant to install something (not virus-paranoia reasons, more of I-have-to-remember-to-uninstall-this-later reasons) but for the sake of doing things in order installed anyway. Right off the bat, the text is a bit hard to read but after awhile I could sort of make out what was being said. At one point I thought part of it was in Spanish. "Compi ei el y resiores HP and MP"...? ohhh "completely restores HP and MP" The dialogue was fun to read though (when I could read it that is... ok I'll stop making fun of the font) and the dude's girlfriend is waaayyy stronger than him, which is kinda funny in its own way. In summary, very general theme, but very nicely captured.

Ninja Waitress by Healy, Theme: Ninjutsu Couldn't get it to run-- I double clicked Setup.exe but nothing happened. Will try harder later.

Theme Roulette - Equilibrium by Marrend, Theme: Equilibrium

Zoe's counterattack skill is pretty OP. She's pretty much immortal so long as she has that on. At one point I took more damage trying to escape than I did staying and fighting ._. Meanwhile, Abe just dies as soon as he's targeted. I like that you did away with MP but not being able to heal much outside of battle meant that I had this immortal girl just rampaging around dragging along a dead guy. Not going to lie though, the game (and *especially* the battles) was pretty funny, whether intentional or not xD

edit: final battle was super long and Zoe could finally *not* be in constant taunt mode but man, that fire breath kept knocking Abe out. managed to beat it somehow though so, yeah. cool game!

More later when I get the time, maybe I'll jump around. There are some interesting-sounding titles further down the list, going chronologically I might not get to them.
*toots horn* Game overrrrr! Gj to everyone who participated! There would be some lemonade, but I don't think Illy could afford it for the whole class.

Also, @mjishi is alive!

Phew! Managed to submit on time. Here's a version with better sound effects though:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=46211250485101673677

It doesn't really matter which one you play, one's just sliiightly better-sounding. Couldn't manage to squeeze in uploading the new one before the time changed, but hope it works out ok! There's 14 endings, mostly dependent on what skill you choose to market.

It had been so busy these past few weeks that I couldn't work on my thing to a playable state, but thanks Illy for giving me a theme that made me revisit a novel I created back like in 2009. I'm very happy with the new version at least.

Submitted, I'm sorry to anyone who plays my broken mess.

I second this. I am so sorry for you guys.

I tried to make sure the game works this time though. And without the RTP errors too I hope.
I even zipped the RMTool I used.

It's looks reeaally generic. Hope you guys like my Average RTP Adventure.
Except with the... Custom... Medical... Sthethoscope... Battle part.
Submitted, I'm sorry to anyone who plays my broken mess.
The theme was really cool but I might have got more done with a theme that inspired me less.
In battle after gathering enemy souls you use Metamorphosis to transform into any of the gathered souls.
I think I submitted mine but I'm kind of a total dunce when it comes to doing much of anything technology related, so if it's wrong somehow and it didn't upload correctly I'm just going to melt out of existence.
Submitted something short.
Alright, for those wanting to play my gam; I've uploaded the required font to my locker for the time being, until my resource submission (from a week ago) is approved, then it can be found under my resources.
OK 1 Party 3 endings have fun enjoy gg dont die

what time zone is the 11:59 pm deadline in? I don't plan on being last minute but I don't want to submit it like, 10 pm in my timezone and have it be too late because in the other timezone its 12. Does that make sense? Does it matter? Am I being kinda paranoid? Probably. I still want to know if I should be ConcernedTM

The 23:59 would be UTC. You can change your time zone settings in your account settings if you want the site to show times as they are in your time zone. (It doesn't automatically alternate between summer time and winter time though)

Made it!

Better late than never, hopefully, but on my monitor at least the "Submit" button was almost impossible to see against the last few letters of the word "Roulette". Your mileage may vary.
Dude. My game took maybe a day and a half to two days, and it's basically just four bosses with brief plot. This is better I think.

Uhhhh, what's with Godslayers? The thing is in a weird language.


Oh its an rpg. Kentrou to Skia is greek. It fits the setting hehe.

Less than 24 hours to go!
I... Forgot to supply the font in the game package xD
Sadly I don't have time to reupload the folder with font, but it's in my locker, named "Mini3x4.ttf" ^.^'

Turns out they're no longer in my locker... I'll see if I can find the time to upload them tomorrow morning, or otherwise tomorrow evening (CEST).
Time to get started I suppose
Done at last. Man, that became... a lot longer than I'd initially planned ^.^'
To accommodate for those we don't have the time to play through it all I've added a save file right before the final boss so they can still play through the ending >.<)b

Time to start making my game!

Way ahead of you! I have 12 maps and 5 sprites and 26 lines of code.
