MAGS August: "Heat" (CLOSED)

Armageddon · Mon 12/08/2013 01:08:17

Would anyone object to me painting over FoA character sprites?

Adeel · Mon 12/08/2013 17:11:04

No Armageddon, I will not object.

kaput · Mon 12/08/2013 17:23:09

Yeah, I don't see the harm in it. As long as they look original, obviously.

the rules from the first post:

You are not allowed to use material already created before this competition. Your game must be completely new! Music and sound is an exception...

So if you hadn't asked and overpainted them so good that noone could recognise where they are coming from it wouldn't matter in the end as you made something new (but based on something created before this competition) and the origin would probably be untraceable. Now that your (absolutely totally justified

) guilty conscience made you post your post, well, it's up for discussion, but it's not my decision, I would let you do this if the overpainted characters look a bit like deniro and/or pacino

Inspired from Armageddon, I want to ask you guys a question:

I had coded the two button interface i.e, Left Click to Interact and Right Click to Look at for my OROW game "The Addict".

Will anyone mind if I use it as a base (since basic logic will remain same even if I re-write all the code from scratch) and further improvise / develop / edit it so that it may not resemble that of The Addict's?

I think that if you release this two-button interface as a template, it then becomes something you can use in your MAGS game

I'm relatively sure I can't finish my game in time to participate in this MAGS. Anyway, good luck to you all, hope to play your games soon enough.

Okay, I'll look into it.

Since it's half way through the month, here's a sneaky peaky to prove I'm doing something:

The screenshot doesn't really give much away. Consider it a work in progress as there'll be more happening there. Yes, that is the protagonist

The main reason I'm showing something is because doing so will prob increase the chance that it'll actually get finished!

Adeel · Wed 14/08/2013 21:36:45

Actually after having a talk with my partner, "Oldschool_Wolf". I've decided to write a new two click interface interface from the scratch. It'll be different from that of The Addict's.

Atelier · Mon 19/08/2013 20:15:34

Haven't had an update in a while. There's still 12 days remaining. How's everybody getting along?

Armageddon · Mon 19/08/2013 20:40:58

I won't meet the deadline.

Retro Wolf · Mon 19/08/2013 20:41:16

Well Adeel managed to send me a couple of viruses!

But other than that, the game is slowly getting there, we've both been very busy with our real lives. I've been enjoying working with Adeel though!

Don't you ever dare to foulmouth my lovely pets again!

They're really adorable

.

However, I should keep an eye on their mating. They're popping their offspring too fast

!

On a serious note: The game is progressing slowly but I think that we'll be able to manage to get it completed

Same here. I'm greatly enjoying working with Oldschool_Wolf

ZapZap · Tue 20/08/2013 16:12:38

Well I started something but then I got busy in "real" life so I won't be able to finish it, at least this month.. Sorry guys, hoping to play your games!

kaput · Tue 20/08/2013 21:51:24

Yep, working away at it. I've actually started on a new game because the one I was working on (in the screenshot I posted) gave me too many ideas and it's going to end up being far bigger than I first intended. But I'm pretty confident the new one I'm working on will be finished by the end of the month.

Scavenger · Thu 22/08/2013 22:21:22

I'm almost done with the puzzle portion of my game, the rest is animation and dialogue writing. If there's anything I've discovered it's that I'm terrible at dialogue.
