MicrogameDev Competition #1

[Sengir]

Because the GameDevComp failed so miserably with inactivity I've decided to "lower the bar" and start a MicrogameDevComp. Here you make games similar to the Mario Party or even WarioWare series. There is no pre-registration and the rules are simpler:

01. Your game must be programmed solely by you
This shouldn't really be a problem with incredibly short games. You may, however, form a programmer/spriter team or use ripped media from any of The Resources

02. Your game may be programmed in any language or game studio
This comp won't grade your prowess as a programmer, but it will hopefully challenge you to better your skills.

03. Your game must be safe
Hopefully you won't have to worry about this, it just means no porn or viruses. Either will get you disqualified and banned.



and hopefully that's it! Now for the MDC info:

HISTORY: Make a microgame that depicts a historical scene whether it be a "balance the pot on the Sumerian womman's head" game or navigating through space debris as Apollo 11. Remember, prehistory doesn't count! The due date is in two weeks, September 26.

Is historical accuracy preferred, or could silly, fictional elements happen? (For example, could a historical figure appear humongous or mildly grotesque when in reality they really weren't, or could there be obscure modern references like someone getting caught in a pokeball in the background or something?)

Historically accurate silliness is preferred, but as long as it contains some historical truth it's alright.

That's a good question though!

What a damn good idea.

If you have nothing to ask/contribute/saying that you are going to join then it is literally spam. Sorry man.

so much for my nurse peach micro game

Well, I can't come up with any ideas off the top of my head, but if any spriters have an idea and need a programmer, I'm available.

[TomGuycott]

I have an idea, but I have to stop myself from going overboard and making it anything more than a microgame. xD

[Sengir]

oh! I forgot to mention that the judging will be by poll, not by any specific person.

And I /think/ we'll have badges by the end date, the jury is still out on whether tSR will use them or not

[ThePortalGuru]

Definitely thinking of doing some old Orson Wells/Area 51 type stuff for this.

Being a Samurai nerd, I might suggest a Castle Raid of some sorts.

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

i think i have an idea. i'll try it on my own, then ask for coder help if ever. o/

[ThePortalGuru]

Well, let's look at all the progress I've made.



I'm so fucking boned.

[Sengir]

Welp, this ends tomorrow at midnight colorado time. If the idea of even microgame devcomps doesn't work then you are all a bunch of lazy extremely distinguished gentlemen that can't do shit.

No not really, (actually yes really) but i do have one last idea before i completely give up on you guys

[ThePortalGuru]

Guess I just didn't have the drive. Anyways, like TUGS, school's getting in the way of stuff.
