Description

You guys really didn't know this was coming? HA!

Everyone has THREE WEEKS (and some change) to make a short game using not one, NOT TWO, but ... okay, it is two elements from... THIS POST RIGHT HUR

You will get one randomly selected image, one randomly selected word, ANNNND...

A randomly rolled GENRE,
and randomly rolled SETTING!

Examples of GENRE can include, but is not limited to things like, "RPG, Horror, Adventure"
Examples of SETTING can include, but is also not limited to things like, "Futuristic, Retro, Fantasy"


SIGNUPS WILL CLOSE ON 8/14 9PM EST!

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

I'll send you one randomly selected image, word, genre, and setting 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! Starting time is 8/7 12PM EST! As soon as you sign up, I'll work on getting you your themes. New games only, don't dig out your dusty stuff and try to polish it up!

BRINGING BACK TR2/3'S 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/genre/setting 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! ... Hopefully!

A NOTE ABOUT THE IMAGES- The image theme will be handled very loosely to allow for creative freedom. I'll use this image (again, again) 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!

AND, as far as the genre and setting goes, I'll be holding these choices as loosely as the others. So long as we can take a look at your game, tilt it sideways and make some semblance of sense regarding the genre/setting, it should be fine!

Keep in mind that 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

For those of you that can't make it, I'll be cutting them into individual videos for each gam that can be watched later!

Best Hecking snake. 11/10, deserves all the snoot boops.

Edit: If you're concerned about being able to finish the game in a stream without Game-Overing and needing to start over, definitely pick the "Mild Debt" option in my game.

The default debt level is harsh, but doable...But if you goof up and end up in an impossible situation, you're kinda boned. Fine if you're just playing it, but if you aim to complete it on stream, maayyybe not advisable unless you wanna be really hardcore. XD

I do think I have a rep for mechanically complex, difficult games on the default difficulty at this point. XD Underestimate the suffering I'm willing to inflict at your peril.
Yellow Magic
Could I BE any more Chandler Bing from Friends (TM)?

If it helps you time-manage, Illy, my game should be anywhere from 30 minutes to just over an hour, depending on how much you explore and battle.
Mine is just an introduction. Mashing through it should take 5 minutes, tops.

Plus the infinite dungeon which has no objective or anything, it's just enemies, in case you want to try out the battles or whatever. I was trying to make a 3-floor dungeon but I wasn't going to have enough time for the boss and the after events so... yeah.
pianotm
The TM is for Totally Magical.

I think my game clocks in at around 15 minutes.

EDIT: I can breeze through it, and Rachel seemed to get through it pretty quickly at any rate.
;>_> Mine is...At least an hour, maybe 2, depends how fast you click with the combat. XD

The joys of creating dungeons you have to visit multiple times. XD Lots of playtime without needing to make tons of content.
Planning to release an updated version later today. Mostly removing unneeded assets so it should be 2-300 mb smaller, a few more weapons, few more enemies, streamlined battle events, some changes to enemy loadout, etc, also a tutorial guy and ship re-namer.
Version 1.01 with a boatload of minor fixes, changes, tutorial guy, more pirates, rebalancing, etc. The only thing not added was more story.

Your text to link here...
Okay guys! I got my next day planned for more TR4 streams, since last one was so short I was only able to finish Yellow Magic's game. We'll be starting with orochii's game next stream, and the plan for it is tomorrow, on Labor Day!

The time I'm still up in the air about, but I'll make sure to make a post with a little time before I start. It will likely be in the early afternoon - somewhere between noon and 2ish EST (Roughly 24 hours from this post).
I'll see if I can make it, depending on time I'll be busy with work, or might be available for a while on a break. At least my game is short so it should be quick XD.
Just finished the next stream, I had to skip orochii's game for technical difficulties for now so I'll slide it down the list til it gets ready. I was able to play Marrend, anyon175, and Aegix's gams.

They were all interesting and fitting of their themes! I had a lot of fun with Aegix's, I'll probably be going back to finish that one~

If you missed the stream, you can always watch the video on my twitch page!
I uploaded a fixed version of the game. It's just filenames for the music now only containing ASCII characters (no more Japanese shenanigans), and reassigned them to their corresponding maps/events/whatnot.

Here is a direct link (made a gampagg for it one of these days because... /shrug).
https://rpgmaker.net/games/12186/downloads/12197/
OKAY

Next strem will be Thursday night, around 9pm EST. I'll play for only an hour or two.

We'll be starting with orochii's game since it is now fixed, and them following up with pianotm's if I have time!

^_^ Thanks for the praise! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

If there's any improvements or feedback you want to offer, please do! :) I'm going to be adding more stuff to it for a proper Gamepage release eventually.
1.01a version is done!

Changelog from 1.01:
Crewmates now level through various activities, unlocked skills and giving stat boosts to all player ships.
Several new locations to investigate.
Some bug fixes and minor tweaks to plugins.
The Datalog was added.
Datalog contains information on Items, Equipment, Enemies, and Skills the player encounters.
Player ships now have skills.
Some enemies now have skills.
Various other additions and fixes.
Several new enemies.
Refined random encounter visuals to allow faster drawing and large group sizes.

Next stream will be Wednesday, approximately 9pm EST. I'll go for an hour or two, next gam will be Fflo's, followed by Frogge if I have time!
Next stream I'm planning for Tuesday night! Same time as usual, 9pm-ish EST.

Next in line is Zakariya's gam, followed by Garage's gam if I have time!
Zakariya
Every misdeed has its own punishment, and every good deed has its reward.

You may want to turn the volume down when you play my game. :P
Well, uh, turns out I don't own a Linux, so Zakariya if you could be so kind as to get me a version that runs in windows? I tried to copy an .exe from another renpy game, but no dice. I'll have to start with Garages gam tonight and see if I can play yours next stream.

I just watched your stream of my game. There IS one good ending, but it's kinda easy to miss.
(Hint: you should've tried to talk to Claire at least one more time)


And of course adding music wouldn't pose a technical problem. It's just that I'm way too used to play games without sounds myself to even notice that others might be missing them and I find it hard to find decent sources of free-to-use sounds (call me lazy or picky if you want).

That said, I hope you had at least some fun playing it.
Ok! Next strem will be Tuesday 9/28, usual time of 9pm-ish EST!

We'll be starting with Zakariya's gam, then going into Pudding's if we have time!
