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!

How much have you guys done so far? Don't tell me, I'm the only who's still working on graphics..

Hah, all I've got is a sketch for the walk sprite and the most basic of ideas, so you're way ahead of me.
i decided to do a game that takes place inside a single boss fight, did everything from scratch:

not sure if I'll commit to this since I have other important projects ( ︶︿︶)
I decided I will be working with RTP stuff and this is the only thing i got so far

I mean, rtp stuff aren't bad if used well. You should probably change the tint picture though. Make it darker. It gives a better atmosphere, in my opinion.


Text appears!
It's totally a chase. Chasing after the meaning of life. Maybe.

Woah! The whole game is just one big boss fight? That's quite an idea, I don't think I've heard of anything else like it here. Closest would be boss rush games, but this concept is still unique. Hoping you can find time to finish it for the event after all and if not, be able to finish it at all.

I decided I will be working with RTP stuff...

Totally no harm in that, especially for a two-week event game. I agree with NoBody that RTP assets used well are still good. Heck, my own project is RTP-based (with a few RTP-adjacent assets), if only because mine is a sequel to a game that already used the default stuff.

Illy answered this on the Discord chat, it's submitted with the event locker, so you just upload the package to the event page. (via the submit button above)

That doesn't stop you making a game page before, during or after if you want to.


Got it!
Thanks for letting me know!
Relying on the rtp this tune around, but using this as a chance to experiment with some mechanic ideas, as well as to work on my lackluster mapping skills. Here's hoping for the best
I decided to try something different and not make a puzzle/golf? game instead of a RPG. Gameplay isn't great, especially with the lag using MV, and I couldn't do a lot of things I wanted. I'm surprised at how the story evolved though... wasn't even really planning on having one.

Sometimes I forget the tint command exists, gonna work on that asap.
Hey guys! How is game making going? I hope well!
I just finished a map, and I wanted to ask you guys for your opinion about the screen tint... Should I make it a bit lighter? Or is it ok like this?

I could probably use some more playtests. I also need to make a decision about whether or not to direct the lore in the direction of my famous Matsumori series. It totally can with how it's written right now, but, that doesn't mean it should.

Ehhhh, maybe a touch lighter?

I've spent every free moment in the last week working on my game. I could probably polish it up a bit, but I'm sick of working on it. I'll just submit what I have.

It's been years since I completed a new project, but I've finally done it. I've finished making a game once more, and also completed my first event. \o/

Woo, two projects are already finished :D
That's pretty cool! Looking forward to what other projects will start popping up.
Wow, congrats to those who already submitted! :)
I hope I can whip up a Demo with the time left...
That's 3 projects already finished now : D
I'm probably out. Some work stuff come up and I haven't had and probably won't have much time to put into the event :/ I do like what I got so far though, so I'll try to finish it up later.

I'm working like there's no tomorrow but free time is scarce and the deadline is getting closer, and closer, and closer... ;/

Btw, congrats to those who already finished! You guys are the best. It's never easy to release complete, finished stuff.
