MAGS February: "Submerged" (CLOSED)

DuncanFx · Sun 13/02/2011 18:49:56

I'm out of this one.

I got something started, but I'm just too busy for the next two weeks to devote the time I'd want to it.

Good luck everyone else, I look forward to seeing what is produced.

If I could actually get some ags code working I'd be in, but sadly I have over 20 games and all of them the code does not work...

Tamanegi · Sun 13/02/2011 20:18:14

Well that's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing so many entries...

@Armageddon: If you have problems getting the code to work correctly, why not ask in the help section? Khris does an amazing job solving problems :-) And there are many more that are willing to look over portions of your code and tell you what's wrong.

Armageddon · Sun 13/02/2011 21:06:37

Well the thing is I don't even know how to code. And I love making 9-verb games but the template is very messy.

I just got my gameplay portion off to my beta tester for bug-hunting. 11 Days from start to beta!

EDIT: just got the gameplay portion tested for bugs, should be pretty healthy now. Then to create the cutscenes and tidy up the dialogue.

Sorry for doubleposting, but I just wanted to know: Is there still someone else than me participating?

Funny coincidence, I was considering adding an underwater sequence for the game I'm developing, and I was thinking : "Let's do it big and let's do it 3D - with a short clipping distance and a heavy blue fog effect and 320x200 that should do it". Daggerfall-like.
But the game is in a too primitive state right now, unfortunately.

Yep, I'm working on a little something for this too. Couldn't help it, too cool a MAGS theme to pass up.

Oh man, I wish I'd done this. My 'submerged' idea was rad.

Whoever wins please make the next theme "Science" so i can still use my idea

I'm pretty sure you have to 'make a game that takes place under water'

Or perhaps it's "make a game underwater"

DuncanFX is setting the theme for March, so I'm sure he'd be more than willing to give you his paypal details

I would also require a substantial amount. Looks like this game of yours might have to go commercial Calin

And this is for Pinback and WHAM's eyes ONLY:

Maybe at last someone will use the Underwater module in a completed game!

I am rather broke right now, so the cash would do me nicely.

Although the idea I'm thinking of so far is quite open to genre, so hopefully it'll still be good for you Calin.

That's no good, unfortunately my computer isn't water tight.

Nooooo! This just might come too late! I'll have to see if I can get this added up and make my game PRETTY!

WHAM · Thu 17/02/2011 19:15:17

Intro now has 90% of graphics, the final 10% I need a few reference fotographs for, which a friend of mine is supposed to supply by sunday.

Outro graphics are now about 50% done.

All graphics should be done by the end of the week, and all scripting is already done, so...

SO CLOSE!

Also: I know that you're supposed to do everything from scratch, so will using a few royalty-free stock photos get me disqualified? I'd hate to have to either remove them, or try drawing them myself, 'cause they will just not look nearly as nice then...

EDIT: Just got the photos! Lookin'n gooooood!

I wish I had sufficient time for this. It would be great to revisit my never-made THC entry Deep Freeze and actually get something playable out of it. Oh well

I wouldn't worry about canned backgrounds. People use canned music all the time.

I can always give a few days extension if you want to join in, depending on how long you think it will take (considering February is only 28 days long anyway).

WHAM · Sat 19/02/2011 13:33:02

All graphics and script is now done, working and mostly tested.
Sounds are now being picked and implemented, and finishing touches should be in place early next week.
