If you were given 24 hours to make a game, what would you make?


Inspired by a terrible terrible game released on the NES called Action 52, this (unofficial) event is all about making a bunch of individual small games under a time restriction and combine them into one super catalog of games. Action 52 certainly feels like a bunch of games people made in 24 hours and slapped together, so why not see what we can do?

The goal: Spend ~24 hours on developing and testing a game! Any maker, any genre, anything you want as long as you make it quickly! This is about trying something new or different. Try making a short game, minigames, puzzles, a segment of a game, try a different engine (Check out RMN's engines page for a few ideas), try out scripts, or if you're Chaos, make an uber boss fight!
(It is also a near-perfect method of making a terrible game but that is besides the point! Right?)

-- The Rules --
- Must run on Windows. None of these wacky mythical Mac or Linux games mentioned in the darkest corners of the Internet
- You can only spend ~24 hours on a game. This is strictly code of honor but we will know if you spend too long on your game! (it will probably have more polish than the rest)
- Game must be submitted on Monday February 22nd. On Tuesday (the 23rd) I'll collect all the games, put 'em in the front loader, and make a gamepage. You must include your game title, description, platform, how to run your game (if you use something other than RPG Maker), and a screenshot or I'll do it for you and I don't appreciate having to do extra work for that kind of stuff! Time spent would be handy too out of curiosity's sake but it isn't essential.
- Try to keep your file size down. This is a 24-hour game development event and everybody doesn't need another copy of the Kingdom Hearts OST (or whatever new snazzy game you kids are playing). Huge games will be arbitrarily cut down.
- The 24 hours is implementation and testing, which means you can sit on the john or in the shower thinking of what you want or brainstorming ideas. However when you open *insert your favorite engine here, like RPG Maker* and start making maps and filling up the database then that counts towards the 24-hour limit.

The blue square BG was always part of the gameprofile. Are you sure that's it?

(plus I ripped the squares from the real Action 52, along with the fixed width font red text->blue links)

Do you mean the blue borders?
i think he means more lighting effects

In Buddhist myth, Mara is also know as "The Evil One". Feeling threatened by the enlightenment the Buddha was trying to bestow upon humanity, he attacked the Gautama when he was meditating beneath the boddhi tree. He was defeated when the Buddha simply touched the tips of his fingers to the earth, whereupon all the gods descended in a tremendous roar to pay homage to him. Though Mara was defeated that time, he still lingers in the world, hoping to seize the souls of the dying. Originated in Sri Lankan Buddhism, a demon who was riding Girimehkala with penis-headed image tried to stop Siddharta Gautama from reaching enlightenment through meditation. The most common story depicts Mara using his beautiful daughters in an attempt to tempt the Buddha; he later marched his demonic army to scare him, however this ended in failure for Mara.

<uh> wtf is with this "it looks like a cock"
<uh> it is obviously a cock
<uh> there is no "looks like" it's a goddamn dong
This is it guy, this is the ultimate culmination of gamepage technology...

I think my eyes are tearing...

this must be a side effect of staring at something so breath taking for so long.


(as a side note, I was trying to make all of the borders in the comments area a flashing .gif but I couldn't seem to overwrite the default border settings and put a CSS3 border-image: in its place)
Are you sure it just isn't because of browsers not supporting CSS3 yet?
Firefox 3 supports border-image and quite a few other CSS3 additions.

Chao's avatar is a cock with tentacles, arms, and a mouth.
This was a lot of fun. If we ever do another one we should make 24 hour games based on http://norefuge.net/vgng/vgng.html

HORRIFYING DINOSAUR FAMILY
fuck yeah that would be the best idea
Generic Sex Brothers would be the best
