2D Olympic Games



Welcome to the concept of the Olympics Games

Let me introduce myself , My name is Rafael and in this Forum I am known as Dyprax. I Am 21 years old.At the moment I'm doing small jobs until I start my studies. I used to organize some tournaments in online games.
A few weeks ago I had the idea that I have to make a great Olympics for 2D game developers.

What are you Imagine?
Normal Contest, there are some, but what about when you combine them into an Olympics with many "small" contests? To create a Game you have to make one small step after another. Each of those small steps can be made into one big competetion. Each of the small steps will be individually assessed and finally you count all phase together and you have the total score.

What about a theme ?
Yes, the Olympics have a big issue: Crime. All phases have to revolve around the issue of crime.

How many phases and for what is a phase?
There are 6 phases to get points . Now I will explain the 6 phases (all informations about time and points you will get in the forum):

1st Phase
Protagonist
Task: Your task is to create a Main Char for a crime themed Game. You have to create him in written form and graphically. For the Graphic form I just want a Face. Well draw it by yourself or use graphics that already exist ( Please credit them). For drawing a Face you can get extra points if it is good

2nd Phase
Screenshot
Task: In the second phase, you have to make a screenshot, which deals with the subject of crime and the protagonist from the first phase.

3rd Phase
Feature
Task: The third phase will be a little more difficult, you have to create a feature for a murder mystery game. As example a notebook, an opinion meter for every NPC or just other features.

4th Phase
Story
Task: The fourth task is writing a story that involves the protagonist. And the scene of the screen should be recognizable. The difficulty is to write the story interesting for the reader and not to reveal too much so that he would play this story as a game.

5th Phase
Minigame
Task: Your task is to create a minigame that matchs your Story.As example to get something out of the fire and watch out that you will not hurt by the flames.

6.Phase
Game
Task: Your final task. All previous phases are combined into a game that is supposed to have at least 15 minutes playing time.

The intent
Why I want to make such an effort to do something crazy? It is relatively easy. I love it. I want to see how big communities are willing to participate in something. Above all, some "game producer" get known and the communities are not only for themselves and you can see that the world is much larger.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Looking for a partner

Hello,

like the title said, I am looking for someone to work with.

Long time ago, I worked on some projects but I couldnt spend enough time anymore because of personal problems. To be honest I love it to work together with ppl. I think if each person concentrate in one thing, you can get some pretty skills.
And well its more fun to work together.

What will be my part? I would like to work on graphics and storytelling ( I am German hopefully my english isnt that crap). For this topic I made a graphic today, hopefully its enough


As you can see its not perfect or rather pretty good, but I will work hard to improve myself !

Another important thing is, I dont want to work on advanced Projects. I would like to work on a new one or on a early staged game.

I dont care about XP,2k3,AceVX or whatever.

If you have questions, feel free and ask :)

Thats why I put the crack into the "" .
To be honest, I worked with 3 groups.
With english,german and french ppl.

French ppl are pretty good with graphics, a way better then the english and german community. But the gameplay sucks.
The German community is pretty good and know now how to make the same graphic as the french ppl but they are still unfriendly. We have some great ppl but well everyone thinks they are the best. Well its hard to explain.
And the english Communities ( to be hones I love it) dont have the special kind of graphic, but they are more helpful and open for new ppl.
BUT that is just my opinion, everyone has a different. So take care ;)


We are still searching, I hope for more people ;)

Maybe you understand something wrong...( or me :P )
The german team and the english team are not in the same forum, so the "crack-team" doesnt coaching anything.
It is just me who is managing the German- and the English Teams.

You guys dont have to be so sceptical, we dont bite :P We are just a bunch of happy ppl and we like it to work together ;) To share a hobby is totally great ^^
We are working serious but we have fun aswell.


Little Member update:

We are searchin Projects and Members :P

Hello and welcome.

Do you have a Project and don't know how to continue, or do you just need some help?
Have you been searching for a production Team but can't find one?
We can help.
This is a topic from Ichi-Engine!


What is Ichi Engine?
It is a gathering of People whom are working on games together.
You show us your Project, and we try to improve it with things like:
Story, technique, graphics, artwork, music and many more things.
This is the English production team of Ichi, we already have a German Team with 20 people.

If I want to join Ichi is it possible just to help other games with and without having my own game?
Yes of course.
If you have to wait for any graphics, feel free to help others. It is give and take.
It is like a big team which works together to develop some games..

What happens if I don't have my own project?
It doesn't matter. Too many projects are not so good. If you are good enough, you can help with other projects.

Listen, I've had RM for 2 weeks, can I still join?
No, we are searching for more experienced people. We need enough energy for the projects. We don't want to have to answer every question from rookies or let beginners join.


How do I communicate? How can I join?
Its pretty easy. First you need to contact me through a PM or just tell me in this topic that you want to join.
I'm will give you my ICQ, MSN or Skype account so you can add me, or I'll add you.
I will see if you are good enough for Ichi and if you are, I will send you the link on the forum.
