Adventure Game Studio

A Little Introduction Story:

    “It`s a Stormy night, you are sleeping peacefully in your bed, but suddenly a loud noise wakes you up. You sit down immediately because the noise came from the inside of your room. Carefully you look around hoping there is no one there. When a lightning strikes outside the window and light for a second your room, you saw it right there in the corner, your heart its paralyzed, a freezing goosebump pass through your spine, that thing its terrifying you never see something like that... and now you are alone with it… in total darkness.”

Your Task: To Create a Monster, ghost, entity, animal etc... that you will not want to me meet your room in a dark stormy night (laugh) .It has to be as terrifiying, horrorous and mysterius as possible.


The Rules:
You can rotate, flip but NOT resize the shape.
You must color the shape outline according to your design.
You can animate your "thing" if you want.

All Entries must be in by Sunday 9th July, at which time voting will start, and winners will be announced the following week on Sunday 16th June

Might as well do something while waiting for the current MAGS to finish and the next one to start. (laugh) So I'll give it a whirl.

[Update]

Well, it didn't take long.

I call this the "Cyber Wyvern".  A tail that also has a toxin tank nearby to store the venom.  And a periscope that can also see in infrared and sonar, as well as other special visions... so most stealth tactics are out of the question.

In front are two jet engines to keep it aloft--they can also double in dropping incendiary weapons too!

@DBoyWheeler That some speed haha!. Good Entry my friend! Sure don't want to be with that poison Wyvern in the room :-D . He has quite an Arsenal.

Thanks.  Man, if it weren't for the limitations of the shape boundaries, I'd have added more on this to make it even more horrific.

 a ah.. excellent job there DBoyWheeler and holy cow from your text this thing is not something you want to mess around with :D
top job dude!


I shall think of something myself and enter before the contest closes.

It lurks in the dark, waiting for unsuspecting capitalist pigs... once he finds your scent, you won't be able to escape from the ghost of the communist threat!
It will take all your possessions and distribute them equally, giving power back to the proletariat... fighting against das kapital!

Good to know I wasn't the only one seeing a hammer and a sickle XD

In free America, you color a shape.
In Soviet Russia, shape colors YOU!

Wow CaeserCub, I know you're good, but, WOW!

You sure have left your Marx on this contest!

Also:

Conspiracy Theory Alert:

I believe Pilchard and CaeserCub are actually conjoined twins!

Hey there, kid! It's your old pal, Snuffington!

It's been... rather lonely hanging out in your old toy box.

I know why you don't play with me anymore. I know the truth.

Why, I've had so many modifications and toys jammed into me over the years, there isn't much left that remembers who the old Snuffington was!

Shhh. This will all be over soon.

@anas. Excellent sir!

Aww thankssss all ;-D

It was a dark and dreary night when Steve decided to take a walk through the park. It was all calm and tranquil, when all of a sudden, a tropical bird came along and flew into his head through his nose!

This looks like it took a long time to make. Well done!

funnyboy044 That is just terrifying 8-0

Tycho Magnetic Anomaly: excuse me, we should make a game together sometime 8-0 8-0 8-0

thank you so much folks, it was a really fun theme to try out.

AnasAbdin.. would love to work with you some time for sure. I have checked out your wip project and it looks amazing, I mean really amazing. I wish I was not so new to this forum as I feel so bad for not commenting on so many wips & completed projects, there is such a backlog of them for a newbie to try cover. I will get around to checking your project out in more depth (so many pages on your thread there :O)

@Tycho DAYUM!  A mechanical nightmare!  Well played.

@FunnyBot, shades of southpark here? very nice :D
@Tycho, nice mate. Looking tight!

Whoa Tycho, that is one fantastic entry. It almost looks like a pre-rendered 3D model it's that good. :-D

Voting is going to sure be tough with all these incredible entries.

@funnyboy44 Look out its a abomination frankeinstein monster great entry! thats some twisted monster! Well Done!

@Tycho Man Outstanding entry it! reminds me of HR gigger for some weird reason. A totally unplesant thing to meet at night . Congrats simply amazing

IM SO HAPPY WITH ALL THE ENTRIES SO FAR AMAZING ;-D:cheesy:

Ok guys time to vote, all amazing entries congrats everyone. Let do it !!

My vote goes to Gurok (as stated earlier, it looks like something straight out of a creepypasta).

I'll vote for Tycho.

why no 1-2-3 voting this time? :P

I'm going to buck the trend and vote 1-2-3.

Rocchinator can just count the existing votes as 1s.

1. CaesarCub
2. tabata
3. AnasAbdin

Just one vote? Nooooo!
As long as Rocchinator doesn't want it explicit I'll prefer to do the voting the usual way, too.

Those votings are not healthy for me to do anyway,
but here goes nothing - my 3 (still way too few) votes go to:

1st  - CeasarCub (simply amasing work on every aspect)
2nd  - TMA (a smilie-maniac like me needs such a Surveillance Unit B-HAPPY 101 - urgently :wink:)
3rd  - selmiak (idea, using of shape and implementation of those coloured pixels are very well done)


With this consistently high quality ongoing  since several cb's
I feel the need to demand to be able for distributing even more votes - not less 
(or a wig and a voucher for a nail studio, because I constantly pull my hair and nibble on the nails)  (laugh)

1st: Nixxon - I love the amount of detail you've got in there, and the colours are lovely.
2nd: Tycho Magnetic Anomaly - Again, the detail is fantastic, and the animation is done really well.
3rd: CaesarCub - Haha, really great idea and good animation.

1st: Nixxon
2nd: Gurok
3rd: Tycho

1. Ceasrcub, Very clever use of the shape, its almost like the shape originally came from your design

2. selmiak,  yikes a saber clawed ostrich. I hear how aggressive these guys can get and I sure wouldn't like to be in the same room as startled one when I turn the light on to see what the heck that noise was.

3. funnyboy044, for the pure horror of it, Out of all the entries I thought this fit the theme best. Not something I would want to meet in any scenario!


This was a particularly hard one for me, the others where at such high standards too, I really hate voting, or to be more speficif not voting (for others)... I would love if the forum used the poll system for all contest, perhaps more people might vote without feeling bad about not voting for others?

@funnyboy44
@DBoyWheeler

GUYS THE VOTING IS AS USUAL!

1st - 3 points
2nd - 2 points
3rd - 1 point

Please stick with it.

Really tough voting decision...

1.- Tabata
2.- Nixxon
3.- Tycho Magnetic Anomaly

I'm going to revise my old vote if that's OK.

1st-Tycho
2nd-Gurok
3rd-CeasarCub

If this is allowed, consider my old vote obsolete.

Great job, everyone!

Congrats all! (nod) :-D

Congratulations people!

Yay another skull for my collection!

Well done all who entered!

Hey out of interest. Would it be possible to implement an additional signature area for these pretty trophies? eg. Trophy rack? Not sure if that's ever been suggested.

Congratulations, Tycho! I look forward to the next challenge!

Congratulations!

Well done, everyone.  This was a fun one.

Super well done to everyone on their magnificent entries. Congrats to CeasarCub and Nixxon.

Great theme and host, turned out to be one of the most popular colorballs! .. love the winner gif you made there :)
Thank you all for your comments and votes, I am once again honored by your feedback.

I will try my best to think of an interesting theme to keep up the momentum on the forum so bare with me on that. I might leave it a week and a bit, since I notice there are a few active contests going on at the same time right now.

thank you so much again!  keep up the great work all of you.

Congrats to all the winners! And thanks to all participants and voters ;-D
Thanks to our awesome host Rocchinator! The trophies are amazing and the winners gif is cool! Looking for the next CB by Tycho!

Congratulations everyone.

Well done.  Looking forward to the next coloring ball.

gosh.. thank you so very much for poking my dodgy memory Tabata :)

OK I will think of something for this and post it within 2 days.. Sorry for the delay again all

Ok I will have a new colorball ready by my evening.

I don't know how I forgot to vote on this one. CaesarCub would have got my vote for sure, that gif blew my mind.

A lot of wonderful sprites were created for this one
