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

Somewhere between a demo and short game ... polishing up some meta stuff (credits) ....
Well... I think I made it. Although it is a very short game, I hope it qualifies to the genre and setting.
Even though I almost never finish on time, these events do improve my creativity and help me create new stories. To be honest, I could upload a small demo but it's way too short and will just give the game a bad first impression. Congrats to everyone who made/ will make it on time and did not procrastinate like myself. Will definitely give the games a try :) Good job guys!

Still a dumb and shy doggo

Somehow I did it, I pulled thru it. A Unity 3d Horror gam.(And not a demo!)
Good luck to others who are still rushing!

Now I'm JustASleepyDoge.

Edit: omg of course I forgot something. E to grab item in the how-to controls.

I made a really short Ren'Py VN, though I'm uncertain of how good it'll be. :P

Should be up within the next few hours.
If I had at least one more day I guess I'll added more music to the rest of NPCs and at the very least one more art, but welp.

Also I wanted to do a 3-floor dungeon but threw an infinite floor test instead. Without the boss, which was gonna be the reference to the roulette's image.

SO YEAH F-Sorry. But there is gam.
I wasn't able to get the game to a point where it would be worth playing, so I have no upload. (I'll keep at it and upload it with its own game page, eventually.)

Props to all who were able to deliver!
Phew, got a demo ready. It's kind of complex, didn't have time to add tutorial guy, but its beatable and should be longer than 5 minutes. This version is on dropbox because I didn't have time to pick out unused files to slim it down.

Funny how everything in real life decides that it needs your attention during event months. :P

As with many others here, I was only able to make a short game at most, and...it may unfortunately be lackluster. >_>
Heh, I was thinking about posting the Strong Bad clip of that. Grats to everyone who got something done, even if its a janky demo! *cough*

The relief gained from meeting this deadline was surprisingly therapeutic.

^_^
Grats to everyone who made it! :D

And also, grats to everyone who tried, but wasn't able to finish. You deserve props for giving it a shot. :P
And now for the surprise!

SNEK WILL BE STREAMING THESE

I'll make plans to begin streaming these guys on Friday, at 9pm EST. I'll post my twitch details in here for those of you that aren't in the discord!

I'll also make a listed order so that those that want to see their games played can attend when they're being played!

Wooo, neat! :D

I dunno if I'll be able to catch any of the streams live, as I'm going to be away from home this entire long weekend, but if the stream are still going to be up afterwards, I will totally give them a watch! :P

Pro tip, have no life. ;)

Gratz to all the games, no matter if demos or complete (tho special kudos to the complete games, you guys have better skills on keeping scale xD BUT I DON'T CARE ABOUT SCALE ONLY WHAT I WANT TO DO HURR HURR HURR).

For the triers, well, honestly doing something with 4 random things that might or not work together was hard xD. I think I was lucky. Maybe Theme Roulette 5 should never happen, instead start with the spinoffs: Theme Roulette Tetris, Theme Roulette Tennis, Getting over Theme Roulette, Theme Roulette Battle Royale, etc.
Congrats to everyone who managed to meet the deadline!!
I'll be curious to play what you guys came out with!

Even though I really loved the words and picture I got, "RL" pulverized all my plans for them but I might do something at some point outside the event with them regardless. For now I gotta learn to live with this dreading feeling of failure, T_T

Same buddy, same. It sure doesn't feel good but oh well... T-T
Okay! So I've decided I'm starting the stream on Friday (9/1) at 9pm EST (Approximately 48 hours from this post).

I'll just be going right down the list as presented on the event page, starting with Yellow Magic's game! I'm still getting used to my new job and I have plans Saturday, so I can probably only get a few hours in for this stream.

The stream will be held on my twitch page
https://www.twitch.tv/illybeans

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! I'll post here again when I have the next stream scheduled, as I doubt I'll get through all of the games in one sitting.
