Really good stuff. I feel like a lot of fans overlooked the Jedi Council as the real villain of the first two movies due to the onscreen presence of an obviously-evil Sith lord. In that light, I wonder if the existence of Darth Maul in the first film wasn't a mistake. Qui-Gon has to die, but that's ...

Make a game about football players, but all of the actual football is automated and takes place largely offscreen.

I don't know if this was a serious question, but no, private traditions are excluded.

Formicid Abyssal Knight win! Wow, nice. The servers run a tournament with each new major version, so with the recent release of 0.17, they held one that ended about two weeks ago. I grabbed two wins and came close three more times, but I've still never won with anything more subtle than a deep dwar...

I'm getting a strong Romancing SaGa vibe from the first one. Is that intentional or just coincidence?

No. I don't know how Christmas is traditionally celebrated in the Philippines, but I'd certainly be happy to play a game about it.

Far be it from me to discourage anyone from making a game. If you want to make something like that, go ahead. However, while it sounds like fun, I'm afraid it wouldn't qualify for this contest -- it's the sort of game the rules are specifically designed to exclude. I designed this contest knowing th...

Edit: still not clear on the theme rules. So Maze of the Red Mage definitely does not qualify. But what about Christmas-themed allegories? What if I want to criticise the excessive commercialisation of Christmas? That would work. As long as the allegory is clear, it would satisfy the criterion. (Ar...

Christmas Contest 2015

The Christmas Contest is an old tradition in the OHR community -- the kind that's gone by the wayside for a few years now. Well, I'm reviving it this year. The rules Make a game about Christmas. Now, let me clarify: I want the gameplay to have something to do with Christmas somehow. A game about pic...

Pheonix: The window allows moonlight into the cellar. Closing it reverts the werewolf to human form. It's definitely not as explicit as it ought to be, especially if you did it before going downstairs. The underlying puzzle is good, but I framed it poorly here. Perhaps I should have prevented the pl...
