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!

Cashmerecat is streaming them (and has been reporting performance problems with MV games when streaming, that don't happen when not streaming).

I didn't suffer lag when playing your game, I thought the lighthearted story was a nice contrast to the heavy games I'd played just before it.
The puzzles were simple if not for the timed element which added a bit of challenge to some of them.
Glad you enjoyed it. I actually had no idea about what to do for the story, and was pleasantly surprised at how it evolved.

There were a lot of things I wanted to add such as making spikes move up and down, and other enemies that can pop your balloons. I was also thinking about giving a gold star for beating a stage with full HP or finishing fast, but all those things would just frustrate people who were suffering lag. In the end, the only stage I really liked was the boss.

Is Liberty going to play and stream these?


Liberty is not going to stream. 1) CashmereKat is already streaming, and 2) this wasn't an event she ran. Yes, it bums me out, too.
I did say I'd probably play some later in my own time and give feedback. As to that end I have downloaded them all. Just... I have a lot on my streaming plate atm so it's better if I focus on the events I run personally rather than every single event, especially when we have others who are already streaming them. As long as they get someone to play them, I think it should be oki-doki~

I'm interested in any comments about my game, and how it ran on other people's computers. My computer is pretty slow and it lagged quite a bit. That's the main reason I only worked on it for about a week.


I thought it was cute, in it's own way. I wasn't a fan of the timed puzzles, though. What through me off the most was running out of time, and being allowed to clear the stage as normal. I still got a retry message window, but, the expectation was to see such a message when the timer hit 0:00.
Hey guys. Quick question. How many days do you usually wait for a gamepage to get accepted? More than 5 days?

It really depends. It can take up to one week. Liberty usually checks the queue around weekends, so it could happen that you post your gamepage just the day before she checks the queue or just the day after she checked the queue.

But it takes a week at most before it gets accepted/denied.

Just got mine as well. Checked the possible achievements, and who got them, against the list of sumbissions. Unless I'm horribly mistaken, everyone's accounted for now.

Let's give Illy, and everyone who managed a game for this, a round of applause!

*claps hands in circle*
Thank you Illy, for creating and moderating this event, it's been much fun.
Yes, thanks Illy! It's been super fun
