Heart of the OHR Contest 2012

I'd like to offer a Mystery Prize pack to the HOTOHR game featuring the best villain.
This can be anything from an evil wizard that controls the world that the heroes are trying to stop to some fluffy bunny-shrooms from a games first dungeon.

Prize package will be sent in the mail.

Ugh...

I've lost all motivation to work on Illusions. The scripting has demotivated me, the scripts have so many errors it's not even funny, and there are still features to be added...

I thought I was going to finish this game...I got to less than, but close to, halfway through.

I might post up my progress and see what the community thinks. How does that sound, guys?

Illusions has come so far, yet has a ways to go yet...

When scripting gets you down, it may be time to take a break and focus on the non-scripted parts of the game.

However, if you do need help with any scripts, post them with a description of what they are supposed to do, and what goes wrong, and maybe one of us can help you.

It's difficult to not do the game linearly, because mappings a pain because I need to make four of the same map, and there is no way to shift the positions of the maps.

It'd be nice if you could move around map numbers with a simple SHIFT + Up /Down. That'd make my life easier...

Well...the deed has been done.

I present to you the rough, rawer demo of Illusions.
If you play it, I appreciate comments, criticism, and suggestions.

I need motivation to work on this thing...

Downloaded. I'll give it a playthrough when I have time. I'll post comments as soon as I'm done with it.

Question: for feature requests, can we bundle up some smaller ones? Like say, one would like to request a certain aiming equation added, as well as a damage equation? Or could we only request one thing at a time?

I'm just trying to decide on what I wish to request, and would like to clear up things for my decision.

I'll release WHATEVER this is once Hamsterspeak comes back, along with a commentary and possibly walkthrough. You're gonna need it

To friends long gone, and those I've yet to meet - thank you.

NEED a walkthrough? I dunno, I've got Phantasy Star 2, and only just recently too. That's JUST the cart, not the walkthrough that came with it, and I've done...eh, I'd say mildly fine. I'm a tad under-leveled....

point is that game is ridonkulous in progression making it to where you almost NEED a guide. Two parts with which both halted my progress for a while: one area to get something I NEEDED was HIDDEN in a SECRET area. (those who are taking note on how to improve their games, don't do this).

Next was I was apparently supposed to go get some leaf, but literally....I randomly walked into a WALL (well, a random mountain that looked no different that any other mountain which are just walls...) out of pure desperation, and magically fell into the "dungeon" in which I was supposed to find that leaf. I eventually died before getting that leaf though, as I stated, I'm a tad under-leveled.


Moral of my rambling: I doubt I'll NEED a guide....except in certain circumstances.

I'm amused, but you misspelt 'Euclidean'.



What? If this isn't a HotOHR entry... then isn't it in the wrong thread?

I'm assuming Hamsterspeak may (please?) be back by Late November, which would make this a HoTOHR entry.

Not likely

Super Walrus Land: Mouth Words Edition

I've got this odd premonition that Fenrir is going to hold his own game hostage until someone coughs up another issue of Hamsterspeak

There definitely won't be another issue until 2013 and when that happens it won't be the same format as the old ones.

Just a quick update for everyone who's entering or thinking about entering. James and I are officially posting the bugfix/feature request deadline for Halloween. If you haven't made your request by then, you're out of luck. So, if you haven't thought about it yet, you might want to start.

How is everyone doing with their games, by the way? No one's really talked about them much since the contest's announcement. Are you still working pretty diligently on them? You've got three months and three weeks to finish if you've lost track of time.

Also, let me know if anyone's released a game that might've slipped past my knowledge that should be on the contest list. So far I know of three official releases:

Universal Wars
Illusions
Vikings of Midgard (for the OHR Legends category)

Are there any others that should be on the list?

Remember, if you release a game for the contest, you get a free bugfix or feature for the engine, or a cash reward if James doesn't implement it by December 31st.

If you're not sure if you posted a request but meant to, here's the updated chart to remind you:

Keep going, guys. Start drumming up some advertisements for your games if you need the incentive to work on them.
