Ibispi · Sun 05/02/2017 20:19:19

The hourgame competition strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone can participate!

It lasts for an hour (and even longer if you don't manage to finish the game on time and your entry still counts)!

Make a game!

It doesn't matter if it sucks!

See you at the hourgame jam.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've decided upon the time being the next Saturday, 11th February 2017 at 15:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

If anyone has any suggestions regarding the time of the competition or anything else, feel free to post in this thread and the suggestions will be taken into consideration (especially regarding the exact time of when the hourgame happens).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE: The voting is happening so you can find all the entries and their score here:

Danvzare · Sun 05/02/2017 20:36:19

I am definitely going to participate in this.

I've been waiting for another hourgame competition since I missed the last one. I can't wait.

xBRANEx · Mon 06/02/2017 18:36:06

I sure hope I won't forget about this!

Cassiebsg · Mon 06/02/2017 18:41:33

So... does making a "hour game" entitle a link within the hour, or a compile time-stamp in the hour?

Twirlly · Mon 06/02/2017 22:14:51

Do these hour games have a topic, item/room to include, or are they a game about anything? I like to have something to jump start the ideas, especially with so little time to make a game.

Cassiebsg · Mon 06/02/2017 22:18:23

Last hour game had a topic, given right at the start of the hour.

Twirlly · Mon 06/02/2017 23:50:06

Awesome, I'm in! Putting it on my calendar so I can get an alert else I'd likely forget. If nothing else I can laugh at the little I do accomplish in that hour and have the start to yet another unfinished game

Ibispi · Sat 11/02/2017 08:54:53

Just a reminder that the hourgame is today and will start in roughly 6 hours (15:00 gmt).

cat · Sat 11/02/2017 09:29:10

Good night, stupot.

A reminder that the hourgame starts in 29 minutes.

Danvzare · Sat 11/02/2017 14:44:50

You can count me in.
I'm just sitting here, waiting patiently for the theme to be announced.

Ibispi · Sat 11/02/2017 15:00:31

The theme has been announced on IRC just a moment ago, it is: Sea

Good luck to everyone participating! May the blue cup be with you.

(if you dont finish your game in an hour it's ok, the hourgame ends in 2 hours, although you get extra starting points if you finish the game earlier)

Danvzare · Sat 11/02/2017 15:43:07

Alright, here's my entry: http://www.mediafire.com/file/odasusuq7o4hxml/Hourgame.zip

Wow, Danvzare that was a charming game!

43 minutes including upload and link... Well done!!!

Sorry about the link. Might fix it later.

Also, sorry I was 5 mins over (not counting upload time).

Mandle · Sat 11/02/2017 16:13:50

Gurok I couldn't download from that link...

Firefox told me that "This file is not commonly downloaded"

Hi Mandle,

Edit: If you make it to the sea, you win. Didn't manage to put a win message in there.

Ibispi · Sat 11/02/2017 16:25:29

I've just uploaded my game

Ponch · Sat 11/02/2017 16:42:21

Not gonna make the deadline!!!

Ibispi · Sat 11/02/2017 16:49:07

It's okay, Ponch, upload whatever you have completed, it doesn't have to be finished.

Ponch · Sat 11/02/2017 16:54:54

Made it! No time for a screenshot!

http://www.barnrunner.com/BR_HOUR_GAME.rar

EDIT: I was way too ambitious with my plan. I have a half-finished walkcycle, an unfinished intro screen, and a barely started ending movie. Sweet biscuits, I forgot how fast time flies with this contest. I thought OROW was intense!

no menu, please use ctrl+q to exit

There is actually not much to do, just exploration. It took way too long to make the graphics and I still couldn't finish all I wanted.

Edit: added screenshot

Ponch · Sat 11/02/2017 16:59:32

Cat: Very adorable. I like the water effect. Very cute.

Danvzare: Arrr! Very Charming, matey!
Gurok: I'm ready to go snorkeling. Thank you for sharing the secret.
Ibispi: I survived!

Ibispi · Sat 11/02/2017 17:01:08

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the hourgame has ended!!!!! Thanks everyone for participating, I'm gonna start the voting in a minute or so.

Ibispi · Sat 11/02/2017 17:12:45

The voting process works this way:
every AGSer has the ability to vote;
every AGSer has 6 points they can spend on whomever they want, with a limit of maximum 3 points for one particular entry.

Danvzare starts with 3 points, because he completed the game before the 1st hour of the hourgame ended.
Gurok starts with 2 points, since he was a few minutes late.
Everyone else starts with 0 points.

Current standings:
Danvzare: 14
Gurok: 11
Cat: 12
Ponch: 6
Ibispi: 10

	Ibispi's Hourgame

cat · Sat 11/02/2017 17:30:22

Danvzare: 3 because pirates
Gurok: 2 for the awesome surfer dude
Ibispi: 1 for the tricky but awesome puzzle

Gurok · Sat 11/02/2017 17:31:06

Cat: 2 pts. I loved the graphics, the cute interactions and the approach to design. I really like the fiddle-with-everything, make-stuff-happen subgenre.
Danvzare: 1pt. I thought this had the most coherent puzzle of all the hour games. The pirate walk was cute! The inventory combining was great, and given that you got this in before the 1 hour mark, I'm amazed.
Ponch: 1 pt. A great start, with some nice animation for the ship. A really different take on sea with that lava!
Ibispi: 2 pts. Awesome intro animation! I lost the first time. This was great and certainly the right difficulty level for an hour game. Beating the shark was really satisfying.

Ibispi · Sat 11/02/2017 17:59:02

Cat: 2 points - cat deserves 2 points because she put a lot of effort into the graphics, her game is the prettiest out of all here.
Ponch: 2 points - ponch gets 2 points because of the nice looking spaceship
Danvzare: 1 point - danvzare's game has the most puzzles out of all the games, but since danvzare already has so many points I thought 1 would be enough
Gurok: 1 point - I was really disappointed with not seeing a game over screen so gurok gets only 1 point!

Ponch · Sat 11/02/2017 18:12:10

Gurok: 2 pts. This game made me laugh.
Cat: 2 pts. I really liked the water effect and it was a nice "poke at everything" game.
Danvzare: 1 pt. I'm always up for a pirate tale.
Ibispi: 1 pt. That damn shark ate me twice before I figured out that I was supposed to hide in a cloud of puke.

Great contest, everyone, although I should probably be removed from the running. While the tiles are freely available on the net, and I drew the big cargo ship from scratch (although it's clearly based on a design I've used in games before), I wasn't able to get my damn car sprite finished in time, so I just imported an existing one from a previous game. I was pressed for time, having wasted too much of it on the wrong stuff.

Danvzare · Sat 11/02/2017 20:00:39

Cat: 2 points (Those graphics are awesome!)
Gurok: 2 points (Fun little puzzle.)
Ponch: 1 point (I didn't know how to land the car, but the interface looked brilliant.)
Ibispi 1 point (I couldn't figure out how to hide from the shark.)

It's supposed to be a starfish not a puke xD
...but I like this idea now more

As you can see, I'm going to fix that problem in the next build of the game!

HINT: Get the car more or less in that spot, and a message will pop up saying "PRESS SPACE TO LAND"

Ha! I thought that was a purple plant or something. What I meant was that since the fish is sick, I was trying to get him to bob around near the top of the water so that he would puke, creating his own cloud of shark repellent.

LOL, I tried that too...

Anyway, to voting... hard one.

But...

Gurok's Dudey Dude's Mildly Underwater Adventure : 1 pt (Nice puzzle and great character.

)
Cat's Sea : 2 pts (Love the graphics and light effect! Nice job)
Ibispi's Hourgame : 1 pt (Was fun to figure out how to win the game

).

Avoiding the theme! Goodness, what an accusation!

I'll have you know that the Molten Sea has been established as part of the Barn Runner universe since 2004.

Yeah, about the "gear" GUI, I built the game from my Barn Runner template to save time. I thought I switched off all the GUIs on room load, but I guess I missed one. Whoops.

selmiak · Sat 11/02/2017 22:16:05

2 danvzare - pirates, music, puzzles, story, arrrr
2 ibispi - for that shark talking view alone
2 ponch - because flying cars

Twirlly · Sat 11/02/2017 23:05:52

O boy silly me I did the time difference wrong and added 5 hours instead of subtracting thinking this started at 8pm my time instead of 10am

. Maybe next time, how often are these held? Anyway...

-My points-
Danvzare: 1 - pirates arrrrr great
Gurok: 1 - a cool surfer dude and a useful rock
Cat: 2 - wonderful graphics and good interactions
Ibispi: 2 - I loved the tricky yet simple puzzle

I'm not certain when the next hourgame will happen... maybe at the beginning of the next month? Maybe earlier.
Hopefully, next time you won't miss it :p

Also, there were some very fun entries this month.
