WHAT?Make a GAME in an HOUR, with a THEME.
WHEN?7pm UK time.
WHERE?In this THREAD and ON IRC (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/acirc.htm).
WHO?YOU, not ME. I'm setting the THEME.
WHY?For FUN and the FUTURE.
WHORE?Please CAMWHORE or BLOG.
WEB?TerranRich's SHUTUPLOAD (http://www.shutupload.com/).
WHEE!Ok, ok, some scrolly text. Here is the small print. The theme will be set by the previous winner (that's me!) and announced here and on IRC at the beginning of the hour. You will have an hour to make the game, plus 15 minutes to debug and upload it. Making a game from scratch is strongly encouraged, but you can use a pre-made template and music from one of the hoursong competitions. I can make a game too but it won't be voted on. I can make trophies though. Please don't use one of those upload sites with 30 second waiting periods and crazy popups. ShutUpLoad works, so just use it, unless you have your own hosting.
Yay for more concise, sexy instructions! (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=41733.0)
I'm in. 8)
Is there any chance a regular "Pre-HourGame time" time could be arranged?
It's just that there is no way in the world that I could make the proper time, but I tend to put it off indefinitely/forget about it, as there's no one else doing it at the same time.
Also: IT'S NO FUN ON YOUR OWN! :'(

My time zone's close enough to yours; so we should be able to sort something out if Steve can't set up an earlier time.
Spoiler
And if he can, I'm in anyway XD Yaaay Hourgames!
Marquee'ing so much text makes it unreadable. Not that anyone likely needs to read it all again, but still.
We can arrange an earlier time.
Let me know when, I'll email you the theme, and you can email me a link to the completed game.
Just contact me by PM.
Wonky, how does 3 hours before the regularly scheduled time sound? I can't guarantee I'll be awake before that... but I think I can set up some kind of email in advance thingy if necessary.
P.S. If you need to read the small print and the scroller makes you queasy, reply with quote and read it there. Then abandon your reply.
Since the standard time is 6 in the morning, three hours earlier isn't going to be any more suitable. :P
The ideal time for me to do it would be some time between 7 1/2 ~ 9 hours from the time of this post.
Scarab, if you want to do it with me, so that we can keep each other honest, that might work.
The only problem now is getting the topic on time....There isn't some kind of timelock message that could be sent, or a non-competitor who could be informed?
I can send you an email at any time from Outlook.
Email me your email address (I'm <my forum name> @ gmail.com) with a starting time and I'll schedule an email with the theme in it.
15 minutes to go before kickoff!
The theme is SHEEP.

A little game by me.
In which you control a little sheep throughout its little life.
Other sheep were not implemented. Because life of a sheep is a lonesome one.

Ok, we have two awesome entries.
Let the voting begin!
I vote for Dualnames game
th x pl z
Dualnames' link does not work! :(
can i have another 1please bai
Only two games, but, oh boy, how nice they are!
Dualnames's has the better gameplay, an interesting graphic choice, a most uncommon pantheon and rain.
FSi managed to made me think about sheep's life, our life, life in general. That's pretty remarkable for a 60mins game.
My vote goes to FSi.
Almost a tie, but FSI really touched something there. Sorry, Dual, my vote goes to FSI.
Damn it! Yeah, FSi gets my vote too. Very nicely done my russian mate!
And I vote for Dualnames, as if I had any choice.
Ah, shoot, I've been busy at work and forgot about this.
I vote for FSi - although duals's's had high production values, the story in FSi's was with me long after I stopped playing.
So, FSi, over to you - I guess next week?
[EDIT] Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!

Ok, see you next week!
Congrats to FSi!! A definitely very "thoughtful" entry. ;)
I love sheep, how did I miss that competition - my vote would have gone to FSI, it's so sheepish!
Wait, I've played the games but did not vote. :o
I guess I'm a bit disorganized lately :P
