Mockup Blitz #2
Because the last Mockup Blitz gave not everybody the time to enter, I'll start a new one now!
TheJBurger came up with the idea 2 weeks ago and many people wanted to do another round instead of having the traditional Background Blitz back again. This new round will realy show how successful the Mockup Blitz is and if it could be a new permanent alternative to Background Blitz in future.
For everybody, who doesn't know, what Mockup Blitz is:
"Your objective is to create an adventure game mockup. This means that you must create a scene exactly as it would look as if you were playing a game. You must design the interface, the main character (if 3rd person view) or any other characters, and the background."
Examples: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=32677.0
Ok, we also need a new theme on this one. The last theme (MOVIES to ADVENTURE GAMES) was very popular, so we might try something similar:
Non-Adventure Games to Adventure Games
Rules:
Translate a non-adventure game of your choice to a classical point and click adventure. Translate also the GUI and characters of the game to make them fit into your adventure game mockup!
You also have to keep in mind the
Size and Palette Restrictions
of 320 * 200 pixels and 256 colors.
The Voting is similar as in the first Mockup Blitz:Idea: The main idea of the mockup and how well it translates into an adventure game.
Background: How well the background is executed.
Characters: How well the characters are executed.
Interface: How well the interface suits the mockup and the scene.
I hope most of you guys are happy with my choice. And now I wanna see some "Legend of Zelda" and "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." Adventure Game Mockups! :D
btw: Maybe there will be some awards for the winners...
Not an entry, but couldn't resist...

No bonus points for guessing the game.
And if anyone spots the mistake in the text, I shall cover my behind by stating it's the interpreter that's buggy. So there.
EDIT - Can you believe I've seen this thread a dozen times and only now I saw the "classical point and click" bit? Ah well. Was still fun.

This was the first thing I thought of. Yes, it's very stupid (but where's your entry? :P)
The bullseye is the cursor, for you slow kids in the back.
Well, maybe it would be good, if the people who present a mockup would kinda introduce it a bit. Or at least tell us, which game was taken and trasformed into a adventure game mockup. ;)
EDIT: - Oh, and yeah...don't forget that this is still a background blitz (just with a little bit modified rules)...soo...what about having a bit more background in your mockups? ::)
Anyone who doesn't recognize Asteroids has no place in a forum where everyone still plays and replays pixelated adventures.

Shoot? Don't shoot? Oh, the moral implications! :P

Wow, two entries so far and both violate the rules :=

I've got something in the works. Spot reserved.

there is only one entry...
It's okay Rui, I still like your entry.
My entry:
(RESIDENT EVIL 4 - The survival-horror adventure game!)
(http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/9184/adventuremockuplu6.png)
In my continued quest to experiment with techniques, I limited myself to only 2 layers while creating most of the background (which may or may not have been a good idea) and I painted it all in grayscale. After I had about the whole background finished, I added a bunch of other layers to add details, and some color layers (for what little color there is).
Also, kaioshin, you may want to note that the voting categories (at least the ones I had in mind) are not specifically for the technical and artistical aspects of the mockup. Perhaps it being more along the lines of the implementation and how well of a job it did.
Holy shit! Have my child! <3
Uh... bad news, I fear.

Still awesome, though. :o

It's 320x200 and it is 256 colors. I don't know how to check it right now, but that's what I set it at. Check yourself. :P
Akatosh, I hope you don't suggest the pic was bigger than 320x200...
It isn't and has exactly 256 colors. Don't guess, check.
Well, this was a bit of fun.

(It's supposed to be Doom.)
... all right, I'd better not make up complaints that aren't thrice-checked and get another palette checking thingamajiggy. Sorry. :P
Excellent mockup work, JB.
I really want to play Jburgers...

After looking at JBurger's entry I literally shouted aloud: "I wanna play!!!" :=
That's the second best mockup I've ever seen!!
Me too... you planning on making a Resi Evil point and click JB?
That would be awesome.
Perhaps time to round this thing up?
(and perhaps try a theme not based on established works?)
As loominous said, shouldn't someone finish this one up? It's been about 12 days. And thanks for the comments everyone.
maybe kaioshin felt it was obvious wich one is the best ;)
Why don't we just start voting, and give that ~24 hours?
Idea: Rui.
Background: JB.
Characters: JB.
Interface: JB. Great job, JBurger!
Idea: Rui "Trovatore" Pires
All other votes to TheJBurger
Idea: Makeout Patrol
(I love the idea of a point n click Doom-it's so completely contrary and wrong)
All else: JB
(Execution is superb, yadda yadda.)
-Negative votes for myself, for forgetting to follow the extremely simple rules, and half-assing an entry in under 10 minutes.
-Honorary mention (but no votes :P ) to Rui for a great parody of one of my favorite childhood games.
It's cool to have idea votes on me, but it was really a joke and not an entry...
Still, thank bunchies, means people liked the joke. :D
BTW - All my votes to JBurger. I wanna play that game!
All to JBurger.
Go ahead and start a new one, JB. This doesn't seem to be closing by itself. After 14 days overdue from the deadline, someone needs to take charge.
