Hourgame Saturday

camwhore edition

What's an hourgame competition?
The purpose of Hourgame Saturday is, to encourage the amateur game-making, or to put it bluntly, to make you tear your ass off your chair and finally make something.
In this activity your task is to make an AGS game within a strict and a very short deadline (i.e. one hour).

When will it take place?
This hourgame session will take place on Mar 06, 2010, Saturday. It will start at 19:00GMT and participants will have an hour to make their games + 15 minutes to beta test / upload (i.e. deadline is 20:15GMT).
The time has been tested by several competitions already, so I think, it is generally suitable. If not, see below.

How do I participate?
A theme is set by the previous week's winner and by the contest's host in event of his/her absence. It will be annouced on IRC (3 simple steps to IRC) and here.

Additional infos
- While it is not forbidden for the theme-setters to participate in the activity, their games cannot be voted for (to prevent accusations of cheating and to discourage regular participation).
- Instead, theme-setters are encouraged to draw trophies for the contest's winners.
- Making your game from scratch is strongly encouraged, though it is not forbidden to use music or artwork from public sources if you are allowed to (e.g. using public domain music tracks in your game is OK, but not really necessary). It is also possible to use a pre-existent AGS template for your game (e.g. that Verb-Coin GUI template).
- You cannot use the stuff you've made earlier, because this competition is about making something new.

As usual: please post here if interested in participating.

As not usual: Domithan managed to make an interesting documentary on the making of an hourgame (his hourgame). If you have camtasia or camtasiaesque software, it would be great to se your "Let's make it" too! Or blog about it, or just open Notepad, do something!

I'll be there, and I'm using the same template as the last time, but since I don;t want to have an advantage I'll give it to you too.

Ten minutes to spare and I even had time to make music for it.
Paint.
Edit: Technically involves PAINT not paintING. Ah well. Also didn't have the stuff to make a video, sorry.

Done!



The painting

[Questionable]

I probably shouldn't even upload this... I realized it was 3:00 and so I just slapped an finish in there...

Here's the new concept behind it: You recently bought a painting at auction... turns out it's cursed. In your sleep it has eaten you! OH NO! Now, escape before you are digested and turned into a portrait...

I wanted to make it longer but I focused too much on the "art"

[Rex Mundane]

Alright, here's mine, and my first actually finished within the hour too, I think

There's supposed to be a plot that ties in with the stupid nonsense I keep going back to, with Shoes that destroy the world and an angry smiley face, and damned if I could be bothered to make sense of it. Well, that'll learn me I guess. Go play

Here's mine.  I got started a bit late so there's not a whole lot to do, just help Timmy finish his painting in:
