Ok I had an idea today, thing was on my way to the supermarket I found 4 items, I am not going to say or even hint at what these items were, so I think a competition might be in order, the winner will get what I consider the best of the 4 items, the theme I was thinking reversed retro, take a modern game and make a retro version of it,lets chat about it anyhow.... As I said it will remain a mystery prize but I promise the winner will receive it,no matter where they live (astro-terrestrial beings excluded) I suggest the dates of the competition be between the 20th july and the 2nd september( kinda school holidays) [Edited on July 3, 2008 by raverdave] ____________ Gimme my toetag already... |

Not everyone goes to school you know. It sounds fun and I might be able to do a small game in Blitzmax :-). But 4 prizes? Do you think there'll even be that much entries? ____________ blog.htbaa.com |

not 4 prizes,just one,well if there isnt much interest there isnt,cant do much about that can I? I hope half a dozen at least can do something,just for a matter of variety. If this wont be the case then I'll go with what there is,as long as its more than one of course, one thing I will say is that i dont give a toss about graphics markings,I cant draw for the life of me so graphics arent gunna be a mark whatsoever,gameplay,pure gameplay lads (and maybe lasses?! ____________ Gimme my toetag already... |

wtf?! If I would like for example turn Crysis into a retro game! how will I be able to visualize it without making good looking graphics?!?!?!? graphics must be an issue just like everything else!!! Im not the best coder so I know other coders will program the game better then me! so at least I have my graphics skills to aid me in this

So are we doing the compo, or not? I can join in, but I'll have to start pretty soon... Edit: Here's my suggestions: (based on an earlier compo) - Teams of up to 2 people - Dates: 1st August - 10th September - All code graphics music and sound mad from scratch (will any exceptions be needed in a retro game?) - No pornographic, racist or discriminating content Here's my questions: - How close does the game have to stick to the original to be considered an unmake? Would a remake of Halo 2 as a platformer, for instance, be considered valid? - Who's up for judging the competition? [Edited on July 27, 2008 by OScoder] ____________ om |

I think this is a great idea. Quote: - How close does the game have to stick to the original to be considered an unmake? Would a remake of Halo 2 as a platformer, for instance, be considered valid? Presumably yes, as platforming is a retro gameplay element. But for it to constitute as a Halo 'unmake' (i like that term) it would have to contain some gameplay elements either from halo or to give the flavour of halo. For example a shield system, and perhaps dual weaponing and charge up plasma pistols. Just an idea. I think we should go all the way and force you to make the game in 8 bit. http://youtube.com/watch?v=hGom_CCz4so proves it can be done for laughs (which is what this kind of competition would be about). I'll post it on the front page to draw attention to it, if anyone is interested. ____________ This is my Blog. There are many like it, but this one is mine!

Btw 3d games like fps's arent that hard to do as 2d, look around for the half life example, they did one i believe,or someone did, mostly i would go with a top/down shooter, like man with gun! a few examples but i cant think of em

Making a small little game could be fun. That way I can get some experience with BlitzMax! But! The time frame is too short if you ask me.

I think the prize should go to the most innovative quality transformation. This competition reminds me an awful lot of the top down halo blood gulch game i was struggling to make on DIV! ____________ Kamasutra: The new Massively Multiplayer Foreplaying Game |

I think the first prize goes to the first one that will actually finish a decent game  and teamworks are a must! cos I cant program => vista 64bit  so at least I'll use my mind and draw some sprites - yahoo ^_^ ____________ Get bitten by a vampire or at least at my own character muhahahaha! http://s7.bitefight.org/c.php?uid=159944 |

Hi, if you guys want to do this, then pick a date and timescale and PM me the details closer the time, we'll set up a page, news post and rig the worklogs up for it.  By the way I think it's a great idea, and wouldn't mind doing it. ____________ laffo |

So 2 artists are already offering to participate. That's cool. But really, the time schedule shouldn't be too short. Not everyone has loads of free time

Here if we do pick a game.. how close to the original should it be?! It think only the gameplay is the only neccesary but would the game have to be true to the original? ____________ Kamasutra: The new Massively Multiplayer Foreplaying Game |
