One Room, One Week Competition 2 - WINNERS ANNOUNCED

[Ubel]

Don't expect any game from me, I'm very sure I can't finish it for the deadline. I'll finish it later perhaps. Good luck everyone else!

[Synthetique]

Where would i find these games when you're done?

[scotch]

A zip file containing the games will be posted here, and I think a link will be placed at the top of the forums.

[scotch]

One hour left! One hour, people. ONE HOUR LEFT*.
So get any remaining entries to me.


*You have an hour.

[scotch]

Ok, you should have entered your games now but I'm waiting for one last entry at the moment.
Looks like we've got a couple more entries (12 or 13) than the last OROWC, which is nice.  I'll post them in a few hours.  Unfortunately one person's entry is broken, hopefully I'll be able to get a fixed version of that tomorrow.

[Pelican]

<Sigh> I really did want to enter this, and I was working on a game, but my computer went up the left again. And after spending all morning formatting it and reinstalling everything, I just didn't have the heart to start over.

Ah well, it's obviously quite a popular activity, so I guess we'll see another one again soon. Good luck with your entries people, and I look forward to playing them.

[SpacePirateCaine]

I'm only about halfway through with my entry, unfortunately. I started on Wednesday, though, so I guess that teaches me what happens when I slack off. I'm going to keep on going at it, and hopefully by about Monday night I'll have an entry, even if it's disqualified. 'Twas a learning experience, without a doubt.

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/aga/ get them!

[Kweepa]

Wow, awesome (and varied) stuff!
I don't think anything is a clear winner this time... which is great for the competition.
The first "game" I played was balloonface - that had me chuckling constantly.
Is there a voting page ready?

[scotch]

There is one ready, I think, AGA's handling that.  I'll post it in a day or two once some people have finished playing.  CJ will add the notice to the forums later I hope, so that a wider audience gets to see the games.

I have only played four of the entries so far, all very different and quite evenly matched, looks like it will be a tight competition.

[Vince Twelve]

I agree.  These are all great, and so different.  I haven't tried all of them yet, but what I have seen is excellent.  Balloon Face was hilarious.  And Kong over Baghdad?  Don't get me started... Also, The Art of Art was charming as hell.  (The music brought back good memories from Ghostbusters! )

One issue:  My copy of the "HiYah" game is not working.  There's no executable.  Just a 0KB file called "THIS GAME CURRENTLY BROKEN" accompanied by a readme, a walkthrough, and the setup files?  What's up?

I'm looking forward to trying out more!

[scotch]

The submitter of HiYah messed up the first time, and didn't have time to upload a new version of his game.Ã,  So I put that message in intending to replace it with the exe later, then as I was finishing uploading the archive of games his friend mailed me a working version of the game. Not wanting to upload it all again I uploaded the new game and told AGA to add it to the zip file on the server using linux magic.Ã,  I guess that didn't work...
I'll get it fixed.

http://scotch.agagames.com/HiYah-game.zipÃ,  here is the game exe, and the main distribution should be updated now.

[Vince Twelve]

Got it, thanks!

[Kweepa]

Oh goodie, another game.

[Fuzzpilz]

I think he meant "my copy of HiYah", not "my submission, which is HiYah".

[pcj]

Yes, otherwise he wouldn't be asking about it.

[Vince Twelve]

Errr... yeah.  I phrased that poorly didn't I?  HiYah is not my entry...

...

or is it?

[pslocum]

That bomb was already dropped.

So to speak.

[Rocco]

are public walktroughs planned for this competition?

[scotch]

I didn't mention to people they should include a walkthrough, only one person did.  We'll do that next time I guess... unless everyone wants to send me walkthroughs/hints.
