OROW 8 (July 1st - July 7th) - Results

[WHAM]

Owch! 3rd day and we have, what, three people dropping out.
But someone is also joining, albeit late (I don't think we'll mind, though): welcome aboard Calicoreverie!

[Ponch]

Time to go oldschool! \o/

No school like the old school, baby!

Hi, all. I'm working on an entry. I made backgrounds before, but this is my first time using the engine, so one room is about all I can handle. 

[JenniBee]

I'd like to join in on the fun too, if I'm not too late.

[Pinback]

Count me in.

*starts furiously drawing*

[cat]

Sure, everyone can join!

Too bad that some people have to drop out, especially AJA - who is now going to win by default?

On the other hand, great to hear that people are making progress! I finished most of the GUI yesterday and the game is fully playable. Still couldn't be bothered to do animations yet 

[frenzykitty]

I've unexpectedly had to move house in the middle of the week - which has made the week a write off - but Im still gonna do a mad push over the weekend and try to finish it

Got main menu, interface and shitty character animations done

[Adeel]

    After being stuck in scripting and wasting much of the time trying to get it work. Finally asked Handsfree to help and he solved it right away. Now I am wondering why I didn't ask him in the first place.

    Outlined the sketch for the background and started coloring it. Next Goal is to draw the rest walkcycles and immediately start making the game.

Here is log of my work:

INTERFACE: COMPLETED
GUIS: COMPLETED

Still got much work to do!

[ThreeOhFour]

Awh, shame to see people dropping out.

My little game is effectively done at this point. Tomorrow I'll wrap up the assorted outstanding things - basically a few little animations, some sound effects and a bit of dialogue, give it a thorough test and hopefully send it off to cat - going to be somewhat busy over the weekend, so this is probably my last real chance to work on it.

Best of luck to everyone else entering!

Hi, I've got a (hopefully quick and easy) question: Can we customise the default/speech/etc fonts with free fonts?

I'm aware the rules in the first post imply you can't but I have played other OROW games with custom fonts (so I just wanted to clarify 100%). In either case, apologies in advance for bringing up what you can and can't use yet again!

Seconded, or are we expected to learn font-editing as well in a week? (I'll do it, if need be, watch me!)

[cat]

Free fonts are ok. Although I'd love to see your custom made font, WHAM

Oh, I'm still here. The less time I spend writing status updates, the more time I can spend coding. Mua ha haah!

Excellent, thanks cat. I also would also love to see WHAM's personally created font

and don't use out of the norm winsetup.exe s ... I'm quite excited to see what you all are baking up

2 L8!!

I have now poured something like 20+ hours into the game so far. The prototype is working (not going to say "well) but I am lagging behind plans a bit. No idea where I'll come up with time to make music, but we'll cross that obstacle when we come to it. If all goes well, tomorrow I'll be able to play the game from start to finish for the first time.

Also I think I'm becoming ill, sore throat, runny nose, the usual flu symptoms. Crappy timing, though.

Now SLEEEEEP!

+1 Radiant! You just spilled out my thoughts.
