OHR ONE ROOM CONTEST 2018
I know, you're excited. So am I. Now what is this slime exactly? Let me tell you.
Objective:
- Make a small-scale game that takes place beginning-to-end in a continuous finite space
- Game must be played from beginning to end on one map 50 tiles wide and 50 tiles tall
Gameplay does not have to use the entirety of the map, but in order to qualify, the map must have these exact dimensions.
The use of doors is not permitted
Exceptions considered for situations like ending the game or puzzles. Post below if you wish to use doors, and we’ll work out a solution.
Map may have multiple rooms/sections or be one large, continuous space. As long as no doors are used to get from point A to point B.
- Contest begins officially February 2, 2018
Games must be submitted by February 17, 2018
Post in this forum Today to let me know you want to participate.
Your submission must fulfill 2 criteria to be valid:
- It is a game (let's not ruminate on what exactly that means)
It has one map of size 50x50 tiles
Additionally, the community will vote on a game to receive Big Kid Club Champion Award and be forever immortalized in this thread.
I don’t have much else to offer by way of rewards. If someone wants to volunteer something, or if you have any ideas for what I could do, post below.
Notes:
Feel free to start thinking of ideas before the contest officially begins. The aim of this contest is to come out with finished games. Do whatever planning and designing you feel will help you create a game you’re happy with.
These should be SMALL games. The intention of the one room constraint is to force a small scope in a community that has such infamous scope-creep problems. (The constraint is meant to help you, not hurt you!)
If you have any further questions, or if there’s anything I’ve failed to mention, ask away! If all goes well, I’ll take the results of this contest and use them to develop an even better iteration of the contest in the future.
Let's get excited, my dudes. Get some practice before HotOHR gets into full swing. [s]What else can I say to convince you to join this contest[/s]
