Let the voting commence!

QuoteHourgaming is back
Sorry that I'm a bit late with this, but to make up for it I have an idea which might boost entries:

I'm going to follow the great system created by Wyz with a slight modification: I will also have an official event at the IRC channel (like previous hourgames) at 18:00 BST on Saturday the 20th. You can still enter any time you want, but I figure that this might create a couple of more entries

Also, since I don't usually work in google docs, please let me know if anything's wrong.

The wonderful journey starts Here!

WHAT?
Make a GAME in an HOUR, with a THEME.
WHEN?
Whenever you choose but before Saturday the 20th 19:15 BST
WHERE?
From this web form on to where ever you bring it!
WHO?
YOU, not ME. I'm setting the THEME.
WHY?
For FUN and the FUTURE including the future of fun or FUNTURE.
WHORE?
Please CAMWHORE or BLOG.
WEB?
TerranRich's SHUTUPLOAD.
WHEE!

Best of luck

Wheeeeeee! great!

Done! See y'all this weekend.

Bulbapuck · Sun 20/02/2011 09:58:42

Crap!
I'm sorry guys, I forgot about the IRC event

Thankfully, we still got two entries. I'm however unsure wether to end it now or not, as some may have wanted to join via IRC. So I'm giving it another day, and will close this thing tomorrow.

Once again, sorry.

I'd love to enter but my internet is so slow at the moment, I can't upload anything :'(

Wyz · Sun 20/02/2011 12:39:57

I was actually waiting for the event at IRC, but ohwell, I will enter it right now

Eggie · Mon 21/02/2011 23:51:46

Hard to choose!
all 3 entries are fun games (for games made in one hour)
Each one have their very own limits:
- Bearsimulator is quickly boring
- silvertip is visually impressive at first but there is strictly no gameplay
- B.E.A.R.S. is completely wacky and makes stricly no sense (by the way, WTF?)

I'll vote for Silvertip because there is potential for developing the game into something fun and because the graphics give it a very unique personality.

Listen to the song by Andrew Peterson. It should explain nothing.
Here's a video of it if you don't mind some guy playing with a bear during the song.

As for the quiz, there is a way to solve it without guessing..

Wyz · Thu 24/02/2011 16:32:00

Silvertip: Nice idea an graphically really nice. I like the idea but it doesn't have a lot of interaction. Still a nice game though.

B.E.A.R.S.: Looked allright, I liked the puzzle. It took me two tries and then I got it, quite clever.
I actually didn't know the song, you should have let it play during the ending.

I did expect the ending, but it still was fun and in 1 hour and 2 minutes quite impressive.

Joel gets my vote.

Bulbapuck · Mon 28/02/2011 21:49:35

Time to close this I think.

B.E.A.R.S.
The only one of the three with a puzzle, quite a clever one as well

The ending was awesome!

Silvertip
This one is really well done, a nice idea with some great gameplay!

Bear simulator 2000
Another great idea! I wasn't expecting that growl, and I was playing with full volume. You startled me good

I was a bit confused by the points system though.

It's a really difficult decision as I really like all three entries, so I cast my vote to the only game that was actually on time: B.E.A.R.S.

So joelphilippage wins

Wyz · Mon 28/02/2011 22:12:40

Congrats Joel!

Lol, sorry about that! And the points are not supposed to make any sense.

joelphilippage · Mon 07/03/2011 20:00:07

Could someone else please start the next one? Sorry to put the responsibility on someone else.

Bulbapuck · Mon 14/03/2011 12:53:02

I don't really want to host again as I want to join

Anyone volunteering?

Bulbapuck · Thu 28/04/2011 19:23:43

Bump

Wyz · Thu 28/04/2011 23:53:11

Yes, I feel the same, I want to join too

cat · Fri 29/04/2011 09:02:03

If you want to do something gamewise that only takes 1 hour, why not join the swarm?
