Corridors of teh DOOM!

Made it a long time ago. thought I'd finally upload it. Please, don't try to figure it out. You'll just go mad.

Scuse me for the stupid question, but what exactly is an hour game? Was it created in an hour? Should you be able to complete it in an hour? Does it take an hour to download ;) ? And where does one find the contest rules on the web?
(and it may be nice to add the answers to the first post in this thread, or something)

AGA

Made (art, programming and all), in under an hour.

As for contest rules, we usually just make them up on IRC and go from there. However, most of the more recent entries seem to be 1 person deciding to do it on their own.

Erotic? Well, I suppose if I was a girl, maybe.

Or it shot oil...
(Insert something witty and AGS related here.)

However, to get the crowbar you must click ctrl-I, and it's black and really small, so it's next to impossible to find there.

Bad Helm! :)

CommaToes

Hmmm.... It seems to me that one gauntlet wasn't enough.

I think I should do a 24 in 24 gauntlet.

Any takers?

Haha, great stuff Erenan. And you did that in an hour? Heh, definately one of the most innovative AGS games ever :D

We had a small hour game compo at IRC. The rules were the following, set by Hajo:

Theme: Awkward silences.
Restrictions: At least two characters, 3 dialog options and a locked door.

Here's my entry: http://koti.mbnet.fi/mwe/game_zip/Balls.zip
Here's pmdee's entry: http://koti.mbnet.fi/mwe/ags/pmdee_hourgame.zip

Enjoy...

Anyway you could announce an hour competition here a couple of days in advance, giving the exact time the rules will be posted, then more people can enter. e.g. Me ;)

Ubel

Wretched, you see hour games usually aren't designed beforehand like that. They're usually being started quite spontaneously on AGS irc channel when we feel like it. :)

Or well, I don't know how the others have arranged them, but that's what we did. :P

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires

Or you could set a timewatch and just start doing one yourself on the spur of the moment. ;) Set yer own theme fer yerself.

Kneel. Now.

Never throw chicken at a Leprechaun.

Erenan

Yeah, that's what I did. Except that I had no theme. I just made a game because I was über-bored, and then it occurred to me that it took only an hour to make.

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens

There was an hour game thing announced in irc but I'm not sure if anyone really set ground rules.  Anyway, I told someone I could make a quick shooter and they said do it so an hour and change later....

INTESTINATOR!

Yes, as the valiant pilot of the experimental Intestinator enter a man's bowels and save him from the horror of communist occupation and bizarre alien bosses.

I've also included the source code (which looks terrible) for those who would like to get an idea of how to do a simple shooter.  I have commented it, but be aware that I threw this together in a very short time so the functions and such are not the way I would make them were I investing real time on it.  The graphics are also haphazard since I spent a majority of the time on the code and the two chiptunes!

Ubel

Actually we did set a certain topic, ProgZ. The theme was: Animals. Here are the entries:

Woof by Ginny. (574 kb)

The Secret Of Hamster Island by me, Pablo. (6.3 Mb)

Pmdee also made a game but AFAIK he didn't upload it. I didn't even get to play it. :'( He can put it here himself later if he feels like it.

Enjoy!
