Description

YOU ALL HAVE FALLEN PREY TO MY EVIL PLANS AGAIN! Everyone has TWO weeks (and some change) to make a short game using not one, but TWO randomly given theme elements from THIS POST!

You will get one randomly selected image, as well as one randomly selected word to implement into your game in some way!

SIGNUPS WILL CLOSE ON 5/3 4PM CST!

HOW IT WORKS:
Sign up for the event. One person only!

I'll send you one randomly selected image and word to use as the theme of your game. There's no rules for what you use, use rips, custom, whatever you like! Build with your favorite engine! Feel free to work on/collect assets for your game before the start date, just don't actually start putting your game together until the beginning date of 5/3 at 4pm CST. New games only, don't dig out your dusty stuff and try to polish it up!

THERE'S ANOTHER NEW FEATURE - ONE TIME REROLL!
That's right folks, I'm giving people a one time chance to reroll their theme if they are truly unhappy with their image/word result from the initial roll. Use it wisely!

There are two nifty makerscore rewards for this game, one that goes to those who make a game demo, and those who submit a finished game!
Submit your finished game to the event page before the cutoff date, no extensions!(WELP I GUESS I LIED ABOUT NO EXTENSIONS)

A NOTE ABOUT THE IMAGES - The image theme will be handled very loosely to allow for creative freedom. I'll use this image as an example;


Now say for example you got the above picture. The theme included could be as vague or deep as you like, it could be about a forest, a dad and his kid, a pair of hunters, rifles, a road sign, a busted car, ANYTHING related to the image! Just because you have something you feel would be impossible to work with, do not expect us to judge you for thinking outside the box on some extreme tangent just because it doesn't match the image theme to the pixel. It's about fun! Go nuts!

MORE NOTES - We had a bit of a spat last event about words used, just laying this here now, I reserve the right to accept or deny any images/words used in the roulette post if I deem they aren't worthy of the Theme Roulette roster. ~Illy

EDIT - Due to popular demand, the event deadline has been extended to the 24th. No more extensions, so get your submissions in!

Illy, you can copy images from the thread. No need to store them in your locker.
What the hell, I have literally no life, and it's only a week. Let's see what I can do.
Just got sent my theme, let's rock!

Just to check, are dates in American format? Assuming 4pm on 05/03 means 3rd May and 05/12 is 12th May? (I'm British so we'd write is as 03/05 and 12/05)

yeah rmn is dumb
If I had it my way it'd be 12/5/2019 instead. Alas, we're stuck with American time system. Sucks but there it is.
Cool, I'll just have to remember to submit early then as I'm out of town for my best mate's 30th Friday 10th to Sunday 12th (and then on a course 13th to 15th).

I have no idea how, or even if, it will work. However, but, I'm going to at least consider this year's gammak challenge with my entry.
Wait a minute. Are you telling me that this thread was the catalyst for this event? Ha! I knew that there was something afoot about that, and now I know.

I’m going to be curious: Whoever gets my word or image for their chosen theme, I’M definitely going to be paying extra attention to see what you do with it. Oh lordy lord.

(Although, to be fair, the odds of getting mine are like 300 - 1 based on all the other replies in that thread, so none of you guys will probably get it. But – who knows??? Maybe the odds might tip in your favor - and by favor, I mean mine.)
I NEED THAT SNEK DICE BADLY
Rips allowed so maybe I should try making a meme game this time? Who knows.

P.S. I wont be on discord at all for the foreseeable future, please use PM
UPDATE

Due to popular demand and the duration of last Theme Roulette, I have extended the length of the event to two weeks (plus one weekend!).

Two people got two of my images, so the chance of someone getting yours is out there! Don't give up hope!
Are you allowed to reveal what you were given? or is it a secret

illy has publically been sharing them on discord. For example, I for one know what you got. I also know you rerolled. He's also been sharing rerolls. So you're definitely allowed yea
I believe it's public. At least, they've definitely been shown on the discord.
All themes are public, that's part of the fun. They'll be uploaded to the event page once the signups are closed and themes are locked in!


signed up, will try to make at least a proof of concept / something remotely playable... but yall know me...

edit:
Altered
Exodus
i hope i get the Utada theme...

edit 2: holy fuck i dont know how to format shit on this site anymore

edit 3: so pretty much Frogge has high-key forced this into a horror event. i'm not against it

edit 4: in fact half of his name / image picks are making me want to write SCP entries.

edit 5: Unsettling: A tale about how one community decided to undo their settlement due to a series of strange events

edit 6: i actually got unsettling, and i dont actually want to do what i (jokingly) wrote i would so i'll just explore the theme in another way
