| Can someone PM Mr.aforcer for the MGC #38 badges? |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 8 2008, 04:40 AM | ||
YOU DO IT! If you've got the time to post for someone else to do it, then it obviously means you've got the time to do it, right? |
| Posted by: Yak Sep 8 2008, 04:41 AM |
| Don't worry, I've already done it, no sweat Darkyoshi. |
| Posted by: Black Squirrel Sep 8 2008, 07:48 AM |
| btw badges and whatnot dished out for MGC 38. Saves me time having to send out PMs. |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 8 2008, 09:42 AM |
| I'll enter! I'll start once I get home from school. <_< |
| Posted by: Neopolis Sep 8 2008, 10:00 AM |
| I like it! Might actually enter but probably not. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 8 2008, 10:11 AM |
| God the latest compos are really uninspiring. They're pretty much only focusing random Mario enemies. I dunno if I might enter, the theme is pretty boring. |
| Posted by: Thingy Sep 8 2008, 11:03 AM |
| YES. Wait, can shy guys be the enemy? |
| Posted by: Sergeant DeeY Sep 8 2008, 11:17 AM |
| Yep. |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 8 2008, 11:31 AM | |||
| I had an idea for the last competition, but it was too late to start work on it since voting had already started. Maybe I can do it for this one. NOTE: it was just an idea. No actual work has been started yet.
If I win, I'll make the theme something different. Spoilers:
|
| Posted by: Elyk Sep 8 2008, 02:51 PM |
| the badges were given out twice |
| Posted by: Doodle Sep 8 2008, 03:03 PM |
| I might join this, since I have an idea. |
| Posted by: Datt Sep 8 2008, 03:42 PM |
| Does the player have to be a shyguy? |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 8 2008, 03:50 PM |
| No. DarkYoshi said that shyguys could be enemies. |
| Posted by: Datt Sep 8 2008, 03:56 PM |
| Yeah, but the shyguy could have to attack the other shyguys who are the enemies. Lets just wait for darkyoshi's answer. |
| Posted by: Elyk Sep 8 2008, 04:04 PM | ||||

| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Sep 8 2008, 04:10 PM |
| I guess I'll enter this one. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Sep 8 2008, 04:42 PM |
| Sweet. I'm feelin' a Metal Gear parody comin' on. Or a side scroller shooter. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 8 2008, 04:53 PM |
| What's with you people and Shy Guy Shooters? x_x |
| Posted by: Black Boo Sep 8 2008, 04:57 PM |
| Well, mine was gonna star Sky Guy. It fits. Cuz he has a slingshot. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 8 2008, 05:19 PM | ||
Don't normal shy guys get sling shots too? This was shown in a few games, like Super Mario RPG. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Sep 8 2008, 05:26 PM |
| Ugh, ANOTHER character based competition? |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 8 2008, 06:44 PM |
| K, I got my Story Down, which is gonna be pretty Unique. Currently in the Programming Stage. EDIT 1: K, got the Base Engine down with the Simplest Slopes EVAH! W00T! Also, what equation would return 0.99999999999... and so on? EDIT 2: K, adding Jumping fixed the XScale Glitch. O_o |
| Posted by: Black Boo Sep 8 2008, 08:03 PM |
| Dunno. BUT I'M FREE AS A BIRD NOW!!! (hint at my game.) |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 8 2008, 08:08 PM |
| Hint at my Game: Invading Clones kidnapped Main Character's Bros. :O |
| Posted by: kremling Sep 8 2008, 08:36 PM |
| Looks cool, but I might end up not finishing like always. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Sep 8 2008, 08:37 PM |
| OH TEH NOES!!! I may actually get a tech demo up...if I can find good PM sprites that I don't have to assemble myself...  |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 8 2008, 09:10 PM |
| I switched the coding up a little bit to make lots of Bugs go bye bye! |
| Posted by: Boomb Sep 9 2008, 04:33 AM | ||
Spy steeling mah idea. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 9 2008, 05:05 AM |
| Making Following AI was a bit harder then I thought. I made it, but it's very limited..... Oh well! Next, I gotta work on commands. OH! Almost forgot: GAME INFORMATION: You are General Guy, and must control all of your Shy Guys, using their special abilities and commands in order to reach the end of a level. It could sorta be like Pikmin. Each Shy Guy (I plan to make 5 in all), have their own abilities that will allow you to bypass a level. |
| Posted by: Yak Sep 9 2008, 05:18 AM | ||
Lol, like Peardin's Kirby VS Shyguy, The Blue shy guys swim..... don't know what the others do. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 9 2008, 05:48 AM | ||
That's actually where I based off my idea. So I should give Peardian credit..... In any case, I think I've gotten down the ideas for their abilities. |
| Posted by: Yak Sep 9 2008, 05:51 AM | ||
Hmm lets see, if I can help you out with abilities heres what I think.: Blue: Swims Yellow: When in dark caves, Yellow Shy guy lights up the way, more yellow, more brightness. Red: Burns down obsticles in the way Green: able to grow into beanstalk to reach enourmous heights Black: Transforms into bombs. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 9 2008, 06:00 AM |
| Actually, I went with the traditional Pikmin colors:Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple and White. Red: Immune to Fire-Based Hazards. Are also the only Shy Guys who can be set on fire without dying. Blue: Can Swim, and save any nearby drowning Shy Guys. Yellow: Immune to Electricity. They can shoot thunder, which stuns enemies temporarily, and activates thunder-based switches. They have the best dive. Purple: Do the highest damage, and have the most weight. White: Can release gas that kills nearby enemies upon their death. They are shorter, and can scan for hidden switches. I've also made stats: Power: How much damage a shy guy can cause. Move: How fast a shy guy can move. Dive: How good a Shy guy's dive is. Weight: How heavy a shy guy is. HP fits into this category. In order of best to lowest: Power: Purple, Red, Blue, Yellow, White Move: White, Yellow Blue, Red, Purple Dive: Yellow, White, Red, Blue, Purple Weight: Purple, Blue, Red, Yellow, White |

| From the sounds of it, nobody's going to nick my idea. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 9 2008, 02:30 PM | ||
If you're the one who said RTS then you're wrong, I AM going to nick your idea. Oh and I MUST post an obligatory "Aw man, ANOTHER CHARACTER THEME?!?!?" Ok done (I hate character themes and this is like, the 4th one in a row, I hope somebody who doesn't fail at making ideas wins this time...) |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 9 2008, 03:12 PM | ||
It's not an RTS. Also, I have an idea for what the next competition should be. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 9 2008, 03:13 PM | ||
Yes I read it and I don't like it. Because half the people are less experienced coders with no knowledge of arrays and they won't enter. And the other half will just think that card games are boring... |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 9 2008, 03:14 PM | ||
That wasn't actually my idea for the next competition. That was just my idea for an entry for this competition. |
| Posted by: Datt Sep 9 2008, 06:09 PM |
| I know this is probably a stupid question, but I don't want to get half way through to find out I was wrong...but is a bandit considered a type of shyguy? |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Sep 9 2008, 06:18 PM | ||
it is a shy guy just one that isn't shy, zeus guy and snifit falls under this category. |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 9 2008, 06:35 PM |
| My Engine is nearly done. Gotta make the first 2 Levels before it's time to make anything else. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 9 2008, 06:37 PM | ||
Ah, well card game is fine for a single game, I look forward to it, it takes alot of skill to code a good one. So, c'mon tell me what your idea for the next comp is (hint: if you do and it kicks ass I'll vote for you) |
| Posted by: Black Boo Sep 9 2008, 08:05 PM |
| My engine's basically done. Just gotta add upgrades, hud, and bosses. But base engine's done. |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 9 2008, 08:11 PM |
| Got the Power Up Programmed. Plus the only way to get it is defeating Enemies, and that only has a 1/5 Chance of Dropping the Powerup! |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 9 2008, 09:17 PM |
| Ugh, the Engine just suddenly stopped working. All I did was add Music and it starts returning Unexpected Error when I run it. Even if I remove the Music it happens! EDIT: Nvrmnd, I didn't have a Program set to Play MP3s. <_< |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 9 2008, 09:24 PM |
| So do I make "Snifit without a cause" (platform shooter)? Something involving Zeus Guy as a martial arts spoof thing? Or a sidescrolling RTS with no story as of yet? |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 10 2008, 02:24 AM |
| Here's a small WIP thingy to show I'm not actually bluffing. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=fa883c613ed30dafd2db6fb9a8902bda Your controls are Left-Right movement, Space bar for Jump, and you can Press Z to make the ShyGuys stop following you. The text at the beginning allows you to select how many shyguys are out at a time. They'll all try to line up behind General Guy. This is mainly to show I didn't make 100 separate shy guys. It's incredibly limited, but like a said, this is like a Pre-WIP. So what do you think so far? |
| Posted by: Yak Sep 10 2008, 03:24 AM |
| I like it so far, but general guy can move a bit faster though.... |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 10 2008, 03:40 AM |
| By doing so, the Shy Guys would have a harder time getting into position, because I don't want the Shy Guys to get left too far behind, and if I increase their speed, they sometimes can't get in position. You'll have to bear with me, and deal with the slight slowness. EDIT: Nevermind. It worked out sorta, The Shyguys still have a few occasional issues. Some updates I've done, but haven't put on main site: - Shyguys jump along with General Guy, as long as they are close to the position they are currently headed towards. The jump is delayed based on how far back they are in the line. - The Jumping AI for the Shy Guys is slightly better, in that they'll only jump if they know they can get higher. - The Shy Guy limit was reduced to 10,because that's how many I plan to allow in game. - Everyone is slightly faster. -Added new command that makes the Shy Guys go to indicated location. |

Oh and I just remembered something... If you win, no matter how good your idea is, its October, its kind of expected that the October guy picks Halloween as the theme or hes kind of a douche... |
| Posted by: Elyk Sep 10 2008, 02:39 PM | ||
we just did boo though |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 10 2008, 02:44 PM | ||
Exactly, so doing a Halloween theme for October would be kind of pointless. If I'm a douche for thinking that, then so be it. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 10 2008, 03:07 PM | ||
Boo = Halloween? I fail to see that connection, you can be more creative but whatever. As long as its not another damn CHARACTER THEME, I'll be fine. |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 10 2008, 03:14 PM | ||
Boo is a ghost. Halloween is associated with scary things, which include ghosts. Plus, most people will make their games based around boos if the theme is halloween because they're the most common of the scary enemies. Connection explained. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 10 2008, 04:40 PM |
| The reason people are probably coming up with these bland themes could be the limitation for the Minigame Competition. We've only got so many sprites to work with, so we MAY eventually run out of ideas. This is what I feel is the reason these ideas are getting so.......old. I just did a random brainstorm (a mass of random ideas that relate to the topic at hand) for minigame ideas, and could only got a very small list. And trust me, I'm pretty creative. To top that off, if someone posts a bad idea, we'll have to be stuck with it, and the competition will not move on. @Keyser Soze: Who cares if it isn't Halloween related? A Halloween competition's already been done. You could extend that Halloween thing to something more however. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 10 2008, 05:24 PM | ||
I think the answer to a lack of specific ideas like "make a game with this character" is to go broader and let people interpret the theme however they want. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 10 2008, 05:25 PM | ||
or make the theme something spooky like Ghost Mario or Luigis Mansion. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 10 2008, 05:28 PM | ||
Exactly, just because uncreative people will use Boos for Halloween doesn't mean everyone will. Oh and not Ghost Mario, because like I said, NO MORE CHARACTER THEMES! |
| Posted by: Black Boo Sep 10 2008, 05:40 PM |
| Since october's coming up, a haloween comp is a great idea! BTW, the basis of my game: You're sky guy on an adventure and are going AWOL. You're soaring through the skies in hopes of escape. However, Mario and co/Bowser don't know that, so they attack you too. Boss every 3 levels. 5 bosses (hopefully) You have 3 baloons to live on. If they're all popped, you lose a life. You have an infinite ammo slingshot, and will hopefully be able to get upgrades. So yeah. That's mine. I'm well in the engine already, so don't even THINK of takin my idea. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Sep 10 2008, 06:17 PM | ||
PLEASE |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 10 2008, 06:42 PM |
| Here's an Engine Test of my Game so far: http://www.mediafire.com/?m6et7lwt2aq It has External Music so you can define your own Songs. Please note that the Boss Music is not Used yet, and currently going out the Level to the Right will only Kill you, but it will bring you to the next Level in the Future. |
| Posted by: DarkZero Sep 10 2008, 07:28 PM |
| ShyGuys?! Sweet!!! I'm entering. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Sep 10 2008, 07:29 PM |
Of course, you still need to learn from the best.  |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 11 2008, 01:34 AM | ||
Don't make yourself look greater than you actually are :P |
| Posted by: Thingy Sep 11 2008, 01:57 AM |
| The next theme could be halloween BUT state that you should refrain from basing it on boos. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 11 2008, 03:49 AM | ||
That'll be sorta useless. If it's not Boos, it's guaranteed to be Dry Bones. =/ Minimal usage of boos is better. |
| Posted by: LocoRoo Sep 11 2008, 03:53 AM | ||
I KNOW. THE NEXT COMP WILL BE ABOUT DAVY JONES. |
| Posted by: Thingy Sep 11 2008, 10:31 AM | ||
Just Drybones? What about Mask goomba, Splunkin, Boo guys, Eeries, Ghost forms of normal enemies etc. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 11 2008, 03:31 PM | ||
In other words, you want to base the competition off of ghostified enemies. Here's how the next competition should be: Make the competition relate to SOMETHING related to Halloween that has nothing to do with characters that are in the game. For example: Haunted Mansion, where the game must be in some kind of spooky mansion like stage. That's still very halloweeny and opens up tons of ideas, no? Also: Boo Guys and Eeries are basically boos. Boo Guy = Shy Guy + Boo, Eerie is just another form of boo. Ghost forms of normal enemies = Boo (Input creature here). |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 11 2008, 03:52 PM |
| Something that would be cool that we haven't done yet and is pretty difficult would be "Fear" Like, your game has to actually SCARE people. |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 11 2008, 03:56 PM | ||
| Well, I got the actual gameplay part of my entry nailed. Hmm ... maybe I could do it as a 2-in-1 or something ...
What about zombie versions or vampire versions? |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 11 2008, 04:03 PM | ||
Depends. Were they 30 second MS Paint edits, or what effort actually put into it? |
| Posted by: RedEchidna Sep 11 2008, 04:34 PM |
| Gah, photobucket went into matinence when I tried to upload my screenshot. Anyways, the attachment below is totally a screenshot of my entry for this. The game's also totally unoriginal, but meh. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 11 2008, 04:47 PM |
| Is that a top-down with no method of jumping? Only thing I don't like is the grass. BLECK! |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 11 2008, 06:27 PM | ||
Better grass is really easy to make. Open a program with noise commands Scribble in various shades and hues of green Add noise until it looks good Repeat from step 2 until satisfied. |
| Posted by: RedEchidna Sep 11 2008, 07:15 PM | ||
Actually, you can jump. And I have plenty of time to tweak the grass if it looks bad. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 12 2008, 01:32 AM | ||
You're a new member so I'm just being cautious. You didn't USE someone else's program right? |
| Posted by: Neopolis Sep 12 2008, 03:25 PM |
| Woo hoo I'm actually doing something this time! Hope I'll get to finish it on time though... |
| Posted by: RedEchidna Sep 12 2008, 03:26 PM |
| No, I made the engine myself. I did get the character sprites off of here, though. |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 12 2008, 03:34 PM |
| The actual gameplay of my one is finished, but I've still got to do all the stuff like title screen and game instructions. EDIT: Come to think of it, I have no idea what to call my game. |
| Posted by: RedEchidna Sep 12 2008, 03:51 PM | ||
Is this any better? Just a little smudging in GIMP.  Also moving platforms. Yay. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 12 2008, 04:09 PM |
| In general, it looks really bland. The blocks, which I assume represent high differences, looks weird and unnatural. The grass should be done by hand, IMO. Not using smudging tools and spray paint tools and crap. But, then again, these Minigame Comps aren't about pretty graphics. So it highly depends on the actual voter. |
| Posted by: RedEchidna Sep 12 2008, 04:46 PM |
Speaking of my minigame, I think I made it too fast  . I've already got it done in four days.http://redechidna.110mb.com/Misc/MGCbuild.zip Have fun! Note that there's only one maze in this version. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 12 2008, 04:56 PM |
| @Echidna: You mind putting in the .dll? I can't play it because CNCS32.dll is missing. Also: You've got about another 30 days until voting period. There's ALOT more you can do, I bet. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Sep 12 2008, 06:02 PM |
| 30 days is plenty to work on this http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?act=ST&f=55&t=221002 It's called The Legend of the Radient Mask. It's a Metroid-esque game. (Even includes some sprites from the Metroid series, but not too much) |
| Posted by: Doodle Sep 12 2008, 08:10 PM |
| Quick question. Does a Bandit count as a Shy Guy? They look pretty similar, and I just had an idea involving Bandits. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 12 2008, 08:14 PM | ||
A Bandit is a sub-species of Shy Guy, so I'm guessing it would be okay. You'd have to ask Dark Yoshi (the one who started the competition) about it first, just so you won't get disqualified. |
| Posted by: RedEchidna Sep 12 2008, 09:05 PM | ||
Oops, forgot about that.  I also forgot to set the application info. I just updated it. Download link is the same as before.And yes, that I do. I just wanted to be sure my game was in. I have another level all planned out already, waiting to be put in. |
| Posted by: Sergeant DeeY Sep 13 2008, 01:49 AM |
| I added a thing into the first post! |
| Posted by: LocoRoo Sep 13 2008, 05:42 AM | ||
Doesn't everyone use someone elses program? Or did you make the program you're using to make your game yourself? |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 13 2008, 07:00 AM | ||
I think he meant engine. |
| Posted by: Neopolis Sep 13 2008, 07:22 AM |
 Placeholder graphics and early engine etc. |
| Posted by: LocoRoo Sep 13 2008, 07:46 AM | ||
IMO that grass looks fine. You really should stop bitchin' 'bout it. Please? And I don't think I'm flaming. If I am, sorry. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 13 2008, 08:06 AM | ||
Under normal circumstances, I'm a major critic. If the grass looks fine to you, then that's your opinion. If I think the grass looks like ****, and I provided reasoning, then that's my opinion. Telling me to stop complaining about his half-assed grass tileset is like telling me to write a 3 sentence review for a fangame on the main site, if you know what I mean. What I said though, is that graphics will count if the voter feels he/she does. He can keep the grass like that, but it could affect his vote amount. |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 13 2008, 09:42 AM |
| Any ideas on what I should call this? |
| Posted by: ssbbpeachfan Sep 13 2008, 09:54 AM |
| The last game post above me is awesome ^_^ |
| Posted by: Mechant Sep 13 2008, 06:55 PM |
| Might enter this one. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Sep 14 2008, 04:43 PM |
| Updated my game. http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=221002 |
| Posted by: Thingy Sep 15 2008, 12:49 PM |
| Nick's is awesome... |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 15 2008, 12:57 PM |
| Nicks is kinda bugged, ie, you can't open some doors that you were supposed to, and it took me forever to realize that door 35 was one you could enter and not just the door you came from in the beginning. And the whole save/load thing is annoying as hell, same goes for music. |
| Posted by: 404_not_found Sep 15 2008, 12:57 PM |
| i try do something quick |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Sep 15 2008, 02:02 PM | ||
I'm sorry, but I tried my best at making a decent, playable platform game engine. The numbers above the doors show how many coins you need before you can enter. Game Maker 7 Lite has only one Save action and one Load action, so I'm pretty much limited in that area, but if you mean keep entering and exiting blue doors, that's your problem. As for the music, I use MIDI's for a reason. 1 MP3 is as big as a standard GM game! I respect your opinion, but I just wanted to clear that up. |
| Posted by: Neopolis Sep 15 2008, 02:23 PM | ||
Not too sure about GM7, but a get_string should be able to make multiple saves without too much hassle. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 15 2008, 04:14 PM | ||
Why not get Pro? It's only $20 and has much more features. If you can't get it, that's too bad. Use a .wma file. They take up less space and are about the same quality as normal .MP3 files. You'll have to search for a .wma-.MP3 converter though. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Sep 15 2008, 05:17 PM | ||
20 bucks? Hell these days you can get them for zero! |
| Posted by: Mechant Sep 15 2008, 05:47 PM |
| Well I still use Game Maker 6 |

You did the url thing wrong. Just use the http:// tool at the top of the textbox when creating a reply. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 16 2008, 04:40 AM |
| So hey am I allowed to use MechaSource or not? It's just like any other game making tool, so I don't see why not, and I'm able to export the thing into a solo .exe. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 16 2008, 05:03 AM |
| The rule is that you can make a game. There's no rule against whatever program you use. |

| Some people were considering premade stuff. Anyways cool, I might enter. |

We have a winner! |

High five, brudda. |
| Posted by: Zero Chronii Sep 16 2008, 09:14 AM | ||
So do I. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 16 2008, 10:10 AM | ||
I meant "considering it". |

GM6 and GM7 are virtually the same. Anyway, my entry is going through a big change phase in order to satisfy the ultimate game critic (you know who you are). |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 16 2008, 02:25 PM | ||
So every game made in Mechasource is good? Doubt that, Mecha makes it easy to make and play games with people, it doesn't make you creative. Oh and Mecha, if you use Mechasource, I DEMAND you release it to us. (yeah not really...) |

Glad you like it! |

No, all games made by MechaBowser are amazing. imo. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 18 2008, 08:37 AM |
| I feel special now |

Yeah I just hate it when people declare somebody a winner by default, look at Delmore's hammer bro game (think it was him) a few comps ago, he got like 2 pages of "OMFG THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVAR!!!!" and didn't win. But yeah all that aside, awesome game Mecha. |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 18 2008, 11:30 PM |
| My Game: http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=221024 MechaBowser will probably win. <_< How many Entrants are there? |

| Please remove my entry from that list, since the final version is going to be announced in a different topic to that one. |

Done, PM me when you have the topic, OK! |

| Hey, can I use a DOOM engine if it's more than a shooter with Mario graphics, or is that too premade? |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 21 2008, 06:13 PM | ||
No engines, ever, regardless of what criteria you supply. |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 23 2008, 11:01 AM |
| What are the rules regarding help from others? |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 23 2008, 11:36 AM | ||
If someone helps alot, they're on your team and their name must be included in your entry. If its just like "hey can you make me a sprite?" or "can you help me with a bit of code?" then thats fine and its still your entry. |
| Posted by: Neopolis Sep 23 2008, 11:39 AM |
| By the way I'm pretty sure saying stuff like "... is the winner!" is against the rules. and really annoying |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 23 2008, 11:43 AM | ||
Some people, especially the ones who say "X is the winner!", think of it as a compliment. But yeah, it is annoying. |
| Posted by: Frogjester Sep 23 2008, 01:00 PM | ||
Would you mind making an EXE that doesn't rely on the music pack?(It looks interesting but I can't play it because music packs mess up on my computer). |

| Posted by: Doodle Sep 26 2008, 08:03 PM |
Man, I've been too busy. I don't have much done.  And if you're interested in what my game will be about, it's about Bandits. You will compete against other Bandits to see who can get the most money. If you don't get the most, you lose, you lose a life and must restart the level. If you get the most coins, you move onto the next. As you progress through the game, the other Bandits will become harder to beat. There may be a 2 player mode, if I can get that far. Plus, I have homework this weekend. Maybe if I can get my homework done quick enough, I'll be able to work on this more.  |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 27 2008, 02:03 PM |
| why do we have almost an entire month for a minigame I mean, I made mine in like 1½ hour, it's not like making games takes forever :V |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 27 2008, 03:52 PM | ||
In a single 1 1/2 hour sitting? And it came out perfect? |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 27 2008, 05:43 PM | ||
...yeah it's just a minigame. Anyways shorter periods pls |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 27 2008, 07:58 PM | ||
... You did NOT use MechaSource to make it. Proof: You said Mecha Source cannot make Stand-Alones. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 27 2008, 08:01 PM | ||
I made MechaSource and can therefore compile exes with it's runtime :V but it won't be avilable by default or to anyone because of reasons I posted earlier |
| Posted by: Pikax Sep 28 2008, 02:37 AM | ||
I'm sure NICKtendo DS didn't create his minigame in a 1 1/2 hour sitting. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 28 2008, 02:15 PM | ||
It's not like his game is a minigame either. It's a full game. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Sep 29 2008, 11:02 AM | ||
It took me about 2-3 days to make. And I see my game as a minigame, since it's clearable within 30 minutes. A big minigame, but it's a minigame. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 29 2008, 11:05 AM | ||
I never managed to do that it took me like an hour anyways games that are indept like yours is clearly a full game. But hey it works as a minigame aswell. Just saying that these take far too long. |
| Posted by: Neopolis Sep 29 2008, 11:09 AM |
| According to the rules, anything made within the time limit counts as a minigame. Even if it's an RPG with 20 hours of gameplay, as long as it's within the time limit it's fair game. |
| Posted by: Mechant Sep 29 2008, 11:52 AM | ||
Can I say "I know I lost"? Because I did |
| Posted by: DarkZero Sep 29 2008, 06:14 PM |
| @ Cotangent: I concur fully. |
| Posted by: Elyk Sep 29 2008, 06:18 PM |
| Shouldn't this be ending soon? Minigame comps usually last 2-3 weeks, not over a month. |
| Posted by: DarkZero Sep 29 2008, 06:47 PM |
| yeah, Elyk has a point....shouldn't this be ending soon? |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 29 2008, 08:01 PM | ||||
|
| Posted by: DarkZero Sep 29 2008, 08:09 PM |
| Ah. Thank you, Keyser. I will keep that in mind. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Sep 29 2008, 08:16 PM | ||
Yeah and its only 2 days over a month so, while I agree it seems long, the end is almost in sight! (the end of these god damn character themed comps) |
| Posted by: OniLink10 Sep 29 2008, 08:34 PM |
| I'm withdrawing. I just dont have enough time to finish my Entry. AKA I'm Lazy. |

| IDK I might........ |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 30 2008, 12:27 AM |
| how about we end it now I mean it doesn't look like there's gonna be any more entries |
| Posted by: Neopolis Sep 30 2008, 07:45 AM | ||
That'd be kinda lame. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 30 2008, 07:47 AM |
| But it's kinda annoying watching two sprite combs pass and this one isn't even over yet :V |

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?! GAH!!! NO!!! I NEED MORE TIME!!! DAMMIT MECHA!!! IF YOU HADN'T COMPLAINED, I WOULDN'T BE IN THIS MESS!!! Please DY, can you expand it till at least the 5th? I'M BEGGING YOU!!! |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Oct 2 2008, 05:43 PM | ||
Dude relax, we didn't know you were missing, and everyone seemed to be finished, and it didn't seem like more entries were arriving. Cut down on the offense will you. |
| Posted by: Pikax Oct 3 2008, 03:18 AM | ||
That's how you justify reducing the deadline? Just because it doesn't look like there are any more entries to come, doesn't mean there aren't any more to come. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Oct 3 2008, 05:42 AM | ||
Hey I didn't change it, I suggested it. And it's a fine suggestion, because the minigame competitons are taking forever, literally, and compared to the sprite and drawing competitions they're moving awfully slow. Also isn't it top 5 voting time now? |
| Posted by: Pikax Oct 3 2008, 05:53 AM | ||
Depends on time zone. EDIT: Looked at the first post and, actually, voting starts tomorrow. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Oct 3 2008, 05:55 AM | ||
according to MFGG's global timezone then it's now. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Oct 3 2008, 09:14 AM |
| I think DY meant in his time zone. And DarkZero still needs to finish his too, and he'll be out quite a bit today. So plz more time! |
| Posted by: Black Boo Oct 3 2008, 03:36 PM |
| Okay guys, my game is near finished. I just need level 10 and General Guy, and I'm done. http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=221022&st=0#entry3104677 |

| *huff* *huff* done... http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=221022&st=0#entry3104677 I would have loved to give it an ending, but DZ needed to use my computer to finish his game too. And it may be buggy because I rushed a bit... |
