24 Hours of AGS

Theme: Hide!

In this competition, the goal is to build a game that follows a theme, from scratch in under 24 hours. It can be thought of as an extended hour game or a short MAGS. Only the default templates are allowed. All other graphics, sounds, text and code must be NEW.

The theme will be announced in IRC and posted in this thread when the competition begins.

The competition will start at:
12 PM on Saturday the 25th of February (London time)

And finish at:
12 PM on Sunday the 26th of February (London time)

You can check the start time in your local time zone by clicking on the links above.

These times won't work for everybody, and that's part of the challenge. You have *up to* 24 hours. If the competition starts while you're at work, you have the time following that. If the competition finishes at 5 AM for you, you have as long as you're willing to hold out for.

There will be some people who decide to stay up and use the entire 24 hours. This is not expected, and people who do so will be fighting sleep deprivation.

What IS expected of a 24-hour game? Nothing more than an hour game in quality. In fact, if you can spare an hour during the competition period, you can enter.

To help equalise the playing field, there will be three voting categories (and hopefully trophies):
- Best art
- Best gameplay ("fun factor")
- Best overall *optional*

There will also be a special award for the earliest submission.

Teams are not allowed. This is about what YOU can do in 24 hours, 12 hours, an hour, or however much time you can spare.

If you don't have time to enter, please keep reading. You can still participate by submitting a theme.

Submitting a theme:

The theme will be chosen at random from submissions received via PM. Submissions will be open until the competition begins. To submit your theme, PM me with the subject "24 hours of AGS Theme".

If you submit a theme, you agree to return to vote when the competition has concluded. Voting will last for one week.

Theme submitters CAN enter the competition, but do so under the honour system. If your theme is selected, it is expected that you have not put any prior effort into a game with that theme.

I'm planning to take part. My only other competition experience is 2nd place in a sprite jam.

Cassiebsg

I'll put it on the tentative, since you mention 1hour quality game... I'm sure I can probably find an hour or two to sit here during 24 hours... :-D
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Gurok

Great, two semi-confirmed entrants so far!

And yes, you can enter even if you only have one hour to spare. Also, there is no need to post in this thread if you want to enter -- it's just for numbers. You're free to turn up on the day and start AGSing!

Also, I have received a total of 5 theme suggestions. Amazing!

Count me in.

Call me "A nice hot cup of brewton".

No AGS contest experience.

Jack

Oh yes, and henceforth I will be known as Midnight Oil Jack.

Gurok

7 amazing theme suggestions so far. We have about 24 hours left until the competition starts.

And another competitor joins the fray! Welcome, brewton.

Very intimidating 24-hour nickname, Jack. I'm trembling!

Twirlly

I'm participating in a hackathon this weekend, but I should be able to find an hour minimum for this. Call me Twirlly the Haggard Heroine. I've yet to complete any game I've started :-[ so this will be a challenge. I've won a couple of coloring balls and a few of the now deceased animation competitions (I miss those. I loved them :~().
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Welcome aboard, Twirlly! Another fearsome title there! My advice is to plan small. 24 hours is not a lot of time!

Welcome aboard, Catpunter too!

Mandle

* Mandle explodes from the suspense!!!

But I think the gameplay I have planned might just fit the theme perfectly...

* Mandle opens AGS for the first time in weeks

Stupot

I've finished my game already :-D
Spoiler
You can't see it though because it's hidden.

Mandle

I've hit a logic wall that I can't seem to break through for tonight so I'm just gonna go to bed and hope that I wake up with enough time to finish this project...

Probably not though...

My theme won? Awesome! But I just got home after a long day of judging a school event. I'll try to throw something together, but I don't know if I'll finish it in time. :shocked:

NickyNyce

Stupot+'s game was the greatest game I couldn't find.
