OHR 8-bit Contest!

Meatballsub · Post by **Meatballsub** » Sun Jul 20, 2008 2:08 am

Guys,

Remember that the contest ends at 11:59PM EST tomorrow (Sunday) night. I must have your download links before then. Also, if you would like for me to add your own synopsis with the download link as well as any additional notes (such as if one will need the nightlies to play your game, etc), make sure you send them to me via PM on Castle Paradox or Slime Salad.

EDIT: Make sure before you send it that your entry abides by the graphical rules. I have mistakingly used too many colors on some tiles and had to go back and change it later on. Remember, four MAX colors per tile (seven if you have a walkabout on it). If you fail to do this your game will not be voted on.

Voting will begin Monday morning (27th) at 12AM EST.

Don't give up, guys! 6 hours is plenty of time to get your work finished. It's gonna come right down to the wire for my team, but I think we can bring an exciting piece of work to the table by deadline. How's everyone else doing?

I didn't get 10 levels, but I got 7 pretty good ones. Overall I'm pleased with the way the demo turned out. I'll be updating it pretty much every month I'm thinking.

I'm extremely unhappy with the amount of progress I was able to make.
Intended to be a Dungeon Crawler + Majora's Mask.

I've set up most of the mechanics to the game, and only really need to work on the actual content to use said mechanics.
I'll definitely be adding this to my list of games to be finished.

Anyhow, here it is. Visio

It also hasn't been properly bug-tested.

Thank you folks that have already submitted their work. I have a feeling that some will wait until the last minute, or won't even submit at all. Three more hours remaining!

My entry is up as well.

I spent 5 hours on it, and with the remaining time, i wouldn't be able to make a decent demo of what i have.

But anyways:

Here you go. Have fun. Hopefully you don't run into a bug we didn't catch.

Despite my efforts and the weapon system, this game actually sucks right now.

I've made what should have originally been my "newbie game".

It's incomplete, and ends after the "second mission". Depending on it's reception, I'll continue work on this side-project and hopefully finish it with an expanded color palette.

Wow, this is one of the biggest contest turn-outs in a long time. I don't even know if there's a prize or anything and we got all of these.

1 minute to spare by my watch.

Mine wasn't done in time I'm afraid, and those parts that are done wouldn't make for a very good demo (no battles yet). I'll finish it soon though, none of the stuff I have left to do is especially complicated.

Yeah, I can't afford to this time, but i'd like to offer a cash prize next time if at all possible.

A MILLION EDITS LATER: http://www.castleparadox.com/gamelist-d ... p?game=914

There we go.

We would've been on time, but we had a last minute snafu trading the file, and had to redo 4 hours worth of work in one. Is there any way we could take a penalty and still be in? I mean, if the other contestants didn't mind?

Also: I've noticed a few times the typewriter style textboxes seem to freeze up. If enter doesn't advance them, try either shift key, and it should work just dandy.

I don't mind it if the others do not. You are only an hour late, so we'll see what they have to say.

OHR 8-bit Contest!

I surrender.
