BG Blitz | 31 Jan - 13 Feb | ATC War-room | Ended

Seleceus · Sun 30/01/2005 15:44:18

Just to do my best at staying topical I am going to:

Theme: backgrounds that feature a studio, work room, or office-type, space that a typical ATC team might use, were they locked in a room, together, for the duration of 'that' contest.

Resolution/Color: No restrictions, as long as it's AGS compatible

On your mark....

....Get set....

....Wait for it....

***PPPPFFFffffzzll *** Oh damn!!!

Fantastic rules!!!

Gotta do this!

My entry:

Andail, while the minimalist, did allow team Hasselhoff a few home comforts, he did not however forget to lock the door. Team Hasselhoff soon realised that real life adventures weren't much fun, at least not after the food ran out

Hope you like it, i too have been lurking a long time,Ã,Â lets hope i can get some begginers luck.

Now i must work... to catch up on the three hours when i should have been working i missed to make this.

Peace out - Rich

WHOA!
Thats some background Neil Dnuma. I love it :o

Haddas · Thu 03/02/2005 19:00:52

well... I'll be damned. Why did I enter again?

Privateer Puddin' · Thu 03/02/2005 19:02:02

mixed feelings, envy and massive respect?

it is awesome.

Kweepa · Thu 03/02/2005 20:36:16

Great backgrounds.
That last one is Neil on the intercom talking to the other competitors.

[EDIT for Puddin] Well, that's the literal interpretation.

Privateer Puddin' · Thu 03/02/2005 20:36:53

Oh. thought it was Andail checking up.. hmm.

DoorKnobHandle · Thu 03/02/2005 20:57:47

Awesome... Man, how do you do this? Honestly, this could be a background for a commercial game...

The second is pretty good, too, but the third rocks everything away...

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Thu 03/02/2005 21:36:46

And I bet that third is the last one.

Really, who wants to compete with THAT?

I mean, it's just amazing, Neil. Amazing.

I mean come on, one outstanding entry (really, I mean it) and the entire community is ready to concede victory? Where is our sense of one-upsmanship, the all-too-human ability to rip apart that which is better, an irrational spout of denial??? Hmmmm???

But, seriously, Why do any of us insist upon competition, even in the face of daunting opposition? To get better of course...

I'm just glad that I could provide a subject that has, so far, provoked such a response. 9 days left so keep 'em coming.....

Neil Dnuma · Fri 04/02/2005 13:31:50

Yes, I agree with Seleceus. Keep drawing! I did this for practice, and that should be a more than good enough reason for everyone to enter. Besides, we can't stop making fun of ATC yetÃ,Â

Quotehow do you do this?

The major thing I do is trying to change all the annoying pixels over and over. There's still a lot of them left, but I had to move on and do other stuff.

Haddas · Fri 04/02/2005 14:45:59

What I want to know is... What the hell happened there?

Sam. · Fri 04/02/2005 22:03:03

and which team is it that hates us so much?

Quote from: Zootyand which team is it that hates us so much?

It's a fictionous team... hating Team Hasselhoff, or the Suicide Bunnies or any other team is fictionous as well - drooling in anticipation over the coming games from such nice line-ups is more likely.

What happened in this setting was (sorry about any poor writing - English isn't my native language), that this team first had a bunch of bad ideas, gave up making Trivial Pursuit Larry (as it really didn't work as an adventure), decided The Wig was a little better, but turned to Monkey Island for inspiration. After playing through part I and II, the idea of making Donkey Island came up, and everyone got a little more excited - especially about the voodoo bits. But then other problems came sneaking to the surface. The eternal mixture of pizza and coffee resulted in several team members suffering from digestion problems (this is were the story gets really bad), and the general hygiena level sank quickly. The story writer - dictating his ideas mostly from the toilet ring - failed more and more at convincing his members of the brilliance in his words. Conflict raised. After about a week, they still had nothing. Then they played Monkey Island again. This time they came up with the idea of utilizing voodoo to hopefully put the other teams in misery and thus going for a draw. They attacked David Hasselhoff (the poster) with scissors, and attempted to strangle a toy bunny, but felt it made no sense. The poster issue got the sprite dude and scripter upset, as they were fans of Hasselhoff the Actor/Musician and realized they might actually have killed the Celebrity. A long fight emerged. The story writer and team captain stood up as a true leader and suggested they should unite their forces in breaking through the door instead, to put all their troubles to an end. Armed with nothing but panic, blood, sweat and tears, they managed the impossible: to open a locked door without any items in their inventory.
For the next three days nothing happened apart from the regular delievery of pizza. Then it was time to hand in the first screenshot, and since Andail hadn't got any PM from the team, he tried to contact them on the intercom. Or feel free to make up your own story.

Ozwalled · Sat 05/02/2005 03:39:36

Hm. I just chalked it up to another high-profile theft of a highly-anticipated game's source code... delaying production for way too long.

Czar · Sun 06/02/2005 18:28:07

I thought some beast entered and injured badly everyone in the room, but everybody managed to somehow exit the room in an exciting and adrenaline filled rush. Then they went running to the roof, but they were all injured. It was all in the style of Resident evil/Dawn of the Dead.

Their destiny is still unkonwn.

Well I think that the 30th Century Frog ripped through the door, Ate all the members of the team even while one of them was on the loo. Deleted all their work on the computers, wrecked the place and then looked up some porn before it left.
