DOWNLOAD THE GAMES HERE!====================================================
What is OROW, you may ask. Well, here is a short definition, copied and adapted from an old thread:
The OROW competition is a very simple competition were you make a game that is one room big in just one week. This competition has in the past proven what the members of this community are capable of, and it will be interesting to see what comes of this.
Rules: -Entries must be made using AGS.
-Entries should have only one playable room/location. *)
-Entries may have cut scenes, menus or limited controlled sequences outside the main room.
-Entries must not use any premade content except published AGS templates, modules and plugins.
-Entries must be submitted anonymously, more on that below.
-You may get
one other person to help you with your game (e.g. music, sounds). Maximum teamsize is two!
*) This means a room in real-life definition, not an AGS room. So feel free to do close-ups, different views of the same room, scrolling rooms, outdoor scenes,... The main purpose of this rule is to keep it small and simple. Making a game in one week is an enormous task so starting small is a good way to actually finish it in time. We are not too strict about this rule, though.
Anonymous submissionAn important aspect in this competition is the anonymity. This means that you cannot share any information about your entry. Nor can your game contain your name. This is because the game should be voted on by its own merits. Please also not include your name in the game info, as this can be seen in the file info.
You submit the game by sending me a link via PM. I will then upload it to another site.
OROW starts on
Monday, 1st of July 00:00 GMT and ends
Sunday, 7th of July 23:59 GMT.
You may start thinking about your story before that date, but you are not allowed to produce anything yet (i.e. no graphics, coding, music...)
The winner will be decided by public vote once the competition ends. There will be 5 categories: BEST GAME, GRAPHICS, CONCEPT/WRITING, SOUND/MUSIC DESIGN, PROGRAMMING/CODING.
To support testing of the next AGS version, participants are encouraged to use the latest Beta which can be found
here. Of course, this is purely optional.
Absolutely no information about your game should be shared with anyone until the competition and voting has ended. Please reply to this post if you intend to take part, but don't give any idea of what your game will be about.

Have fun!
