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

I am severely worried about my ability to finish anything this time. That said, I'll see what I can do in spite of everything, even something more linear or short. Just going to go with something that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Everyones themes and rerolls have been doled out thus far.
author=Illy
If you decide to reroll you can choose to use either your original results or the new ones, in any combination.


That's cool, could I ask for a reroll as well then? Because the futuristic setting, especially the mapping, is causing me problems.
But if in the end I decide for my original results, is the futuristic setting meant as cyberpunk? Cyberpunk is futuristic right? Or am I understanding it all wrong??
I think I need to see a gammak therapist about my addiction for making complex combat systems.

Because looking at all my design notes for this game, my plans are WAY too big. No player would need all of this, for a game this small in scope. XD I need to take a lot of stuff back to the drawing board and simplify.

I relate to this on a spiritual level.

In that case, may I have a reroll?
I just got off work, Ima take a little bit then I'll catch everyone up on rerolls and new signees!

can't make a bad game if you don't finish any games

I can't guarantee I'll finish, but I'll sign up nonetheless. I just need to make something.
Ok! I'm pretty sure I've got everyones themes and rerolls up to date!

KEEP IN MIND THAT REQUESTS FOR REROLLS AND THEMES STOP AFTER 9PM EST ON 8/14!
(That's a little less than four days from this post!)

Thanks Illy!

Wow, I really like this one! Thank you for the reroll!
After SEVERAL false starts, some grumbling and a lot of tinkering, I have the most baseline template for how my game will go.

Still have some MAJOR decisions to make though, like how to divide up the "work" areas (Ie, the places that players will go to do "work" and access that area's dungeon)...

But overeall, it's coming together surprisingly well.

Oh yeah, that's got some spooky potential! :D
Since English isn't my native language I have a question about the word "ensnared".

Would it be a valid interpretation if my story involves someone/something being "trapped" or "caught"?

I don't see a problem with that. "Ensnared" in the English language typically refers to someone or something that has had some form of it's movement hindered or restricted. For example, a "snare" would be something like a rope trap that suspends the triggering thing upright, unable to get down. Other forms of ensnaring could include being covered in some sort of viscous substance, making it hard to move. (See also, "Tanglefoot Bag")

ALSO! THIRTY TWO (32) HOURS LEFT UNTIL REGISTRATION AND/OR REROLL CALLS IS OVER!
(Keep in mind if you call for a theme/reroll before the deadline, I'll probably be doing them all on a set day after so don't think you won't get yours.)
My theme setting is "Medieval", so I'm keeping it as low-fantasy as possible (no magic, etc) to be as faithful to that as possible...

But I'm likely going to delve just a little bit into the fantastical for the monsters. Sure I'll have some wolves and eagles and stuff...But I really don't have enough monster graphics that aren't fantastical at all. XD
All themes and rerolls are out! It's now past the signup/reroll deadline, so this is it folks!

Go gammak and has fun!
Holy shit - it’s about time! I’ve contributed images and words for the Theme Roulette for a while now and this is the first time that I’ve seen someone ACTUALLY get one of my words! Three of them even!

So I’m so sorry, LouisCyphre, Loriesquare and Beregon for the pain that you must now go through, but I’m also secretly pulling for one of you guys to win this whole thing. So don’t let me down!

We're still happy you're here though!
I offer my set as tribute to Decky for to use.



I honestly got nothin for em, so someone might as well make use if them.
