Description



People have been shouting for an event of some sort and now it happens. It's the traditional biennial Weekend Gamemaking Disco Binge. Pick out your favourite disco tunes and make those games!

Basics about the event
The idea is to have a quickie weekend filled with gamemaking fun (and the nasty horrors of gamemaking and staying up all night staring at a strobe light trying to get inspiration). The themes are Disco and Fire.

How you incorporate these themes are entirely up to you. You may only pick one of the themes but it's a lot more awesome if you incorporate both. It is after all about fun and games so don't cut those wrists over it if it doesn't quite work out. Even the most liberal interpretation of the themes is most likely to go through (but don't tell anyone I told you that. It's a secret)

Rules
* The event starts on Friday the 28th of January 2011. It ends some time on Monday the 31st (of January 2011). Try to get your entries in before February at least.
* The entry must be stand alone and playable on a Windows 7 machine. If I need to download the latest Unity3d engine or fiddle with DosBox to make this entry run then you better be including it in the installation package with instructions.
* Submit entries through the event submission system. Or post a link to them in the comments. Or send them on a USB taped to a carrier pigeon. The most important part is that entries need to get to me. You are allowed to update your entries up until the deadline.



Those are the hard and fast rules. Then there are
Guidelines
* You are allowed to use any resources you have. Even if you aquired them through dubious means. (just don't tell me you aquired them dubiously. I knew nothing of this.)
* Though even if you are allowed to use any resources it's always nice if you credit any and all sources. Either in-game or in a readme/credits file.
* I accept bribes. PM Shinan if you want paypal information or a postal adress to send your gifts to.
* Yeah before you ask. Obviously RPGmaker games are accepted. Just because I used Unity and dosbox in my examples doesn't mean you have to go all weird and techy. It was a joke.
* The bribe thing was not a joke though. Honest.

Yeah I found it hard to make a game page, since there's not too much you can do in 3 days. I halfway worry that mine wouldn't get approved in time to put a download up for it.

Oh, you can just submit the file directly here it seems.
Yeah, I'll probably be doing that.
Yeah, you could just mail the thing to him for that reason. Unfortunately, thanks to some school assignment, I might actually have to withdraw. It's too early for me to decide now, but if I do turn in something it shall be Monday night. More likely too since I get lots of time on Monday.
Why do I always seem to check out these contests close to the deadline? @_@
Also, interesting theme. I'll be sure to check out the games that get completed.

I'm not going to be done in time. Something came up today, my computer crashed, I lost a ton of unsaved shit and I really do not have the energy nor will to try and shove it all in in the two hours I have before I go to sleep.

Shinan, I really am sorry :c

I'll get Disco Fever done sometime when I feel up to it. Just...not right now. /motivationally dead

That sucks about your computer crashing. :\
I was really looking forward to your game!
Hopefully you'll get recharged to finish soon. :D
I'm going to have to back out of this one too, there's too much going on right now than I expected. It's so easy to click on that button up there thinking you would have time for something and then it turns out there's a ton of stuff in your way later.

This was poor judgment on my part and I hope to see contests much longer than just three days in the future to account for every little surprise we can get out of life.
I'm having unexpected stuff to do today... the game is nearly finished, and I'll definitely be able to finish it today... today being Monday in Brazil (GMT - 3). :D
Aaaand done! Phew!

Whoho!

BUT

It doesn't work. No RTP.

I'll quote the rules:
* The entry must be stand alone and playable on a Windows 7 machine. If I need to download the latest Unity3d engine or fiddle with DosBox to make this entry run then you better be including it in the installation package with instructions.

EDIT: To those who may or may not be finished exactly on time you can submit in the comments even if you're a bit late. Just don't be too late.

I dunno if it's too late to submit a fix, but if you can, download from this link instead!
Better late than never!

-download removed cause gameprofile's up-
Oh fuck. I knew I'd forget something. But RTP? Ugh. Sorry!
Here's a fixed link if it's okay to accept it. http://rpgmaker.net/users/Liberty/locker/The_Sound_of_Flames.rar
God, I hope that's it!
