Background Blitz - Title Screen - CLOSED / WINNERS in last post

Miez · Fri 28/06/2013 18:22:35

For the next Background Blitz I want you to do something a little different, namely:

The rules and regulations for this blitz are as follows:

Resolution must be 320 x 240
You can use any number of colors
It must clearly be the title screen to an imaginary game
User interface elements like buttons etc. are optional
The name of your make-believe game must be generated by the Video Game Name Generator. You are allowed to 're-roll' your random name until you find one that inspires you

MAJOR brownie points if you also make an in-game mockup screen to go with your title screen!

And most importantly: have fun with it!

Awards:

FIRST PRIZE

This idea was too fun to ignore, even though I have no chance of winning.

I present:

Morbidly Obese Raccoon Adventures!! (subtitle added by me - "You want fries with that?")

Just one thing... if we do one day make a game with this name, does that disqualify it from the contest?

Eric · Sun 30/06/2013 22:46:02

This is the kick in the pants I need to get me going with forum comps again. I'm seriously in this time, not just in if I have time. I'm making time for this one!

I got "Christian Soccer Nightmare"

How much time do we have?

jwalt · Fri 05/07/2013 12:38:14

I rerolled several times, but this one seemed inspirational.

~~Cat influenced me to include the butt crack. If you find it offensive, talk to her.~~

Edit1: Cat corrected my error. The blame is mine, and mine alone.

Edit2: Since Extra Credit was available, and since I had a few things floating or perched around the house, here's an "in game" screen.

Didn't happen to have any seagulls, but did have a few chickens. Please don't ask for the plot synopsis, because I don't have a clue.

cat · Fri 05/07/2013 12:43:37

Butt crack? These are the 80ies baby, of course she is wearing skin colored leggings

On a side note, has anyone ever done a color anaglyph AGS game?

I love it. I just need to find a pair of 3D glasses so I can love it some more!

Snarky · Mon 08/07/2013 23:35:34

Sort of off-topic, but a moderately funny story. I'd gone to the page and generated some random names, copying the ones I liked over to a text file on my desktop. Then I forgot about it, leaving the file open.

The next day I was due to give a presentation at work, and when I plugged in my laptop to the projector, it decided it was a good idea to put the text file over on the projected screen, giving the whole audience a good look at this mystifying yet disturbing list:

Viking Ice Train
Horrifying Underwear Freak
Super Sexy Alligator Machine
Duke Nukem: Makeout Express
Sensual Mushroom - The Resistance
Final Fantasy Kangaroo Detective
Return of the Harvest Madness
No One Can Stop the Train: Pro
Sensual Mushroom - The Resistance
Throbbing Goblin Chronicles
etc...

Miez · Mon 08/07/2013 23:44:21

I'd play the everloving hell out of 'Throbbing Goblin Chronicles'

Let me know if it works! I regrettably just last week packed away my 3D glasses without thinking about this being in the pipeline.

Miez · Tue 09/07/2013 00:18:53

I tried it and yes, it does work! The effect is subtle, but absolutely there...

Kastchey · Tue 09/07/2013 10:32:35

I have tons of other things to do at the moment, but couldn't resist this theme... curse you, Miez!

Will the classic 320x200 do or should I pump up the 40 extra pixels?

As it said in the "rules": it needs to be 320x240. So we're going to need those extra 12.800 pixels...

Kastchey · Tue 09/07/2013 21:35:54

Pff, okay

You want them, you got them.

So first the title..

............

...so I finally decided to go with:

Yes...ish.

Also, Kastchey: sensational, as usual.

Babar · Fri 12/07/2013 14:15:08

I was bored, but I was also lazy, so...a mixture of a little effort with a lot of automation to create a cheesy 80sish background for a cheesy 80sish title. Hope it is okay

Bob Jordan thought it would be just another day at work when he was told to head over to Quadrant 60D27L to investigate a possible infraction of the Space Easement Code. Little did he know that he was on the edges of a conspiracy that would rock the foundations of what civilisation knew about civilisation, bringing the conflict between the Unity and the Outliers to the forefront for a new era of change, in...MASTERS OF THE SPACE INSPECTOR.

A sandwich, trapped between the land of the living...and the beyond.
Hungering for the things it once felt inside: Peanut butter. Jelly. Sometimes jam.
Will it find peace? Or will it destroy us all? This...is the Undead Sandwich Story.

From the developers of Disney's Weight Loss in Vegas, Michael Jackson's Dating Shack, and Nerf Cowboy - Hot Pursuit, here's a brand new ass kickin' tactical combat game!

Edit: had some time, so made a little mockup of the game:
