A curse was cast, the heroes failed, or a cataclysm happened. For some reason the whole world was frozen.
Make a game where the protagonist works to put an end to the everlasting winter.

You may use existing artwork to make your game.



Deadline: Feb 28th

Need a little help? Perhaps The AGS Trove has something you can use.

Hmm. Maybe. I'll see if I can think of a good idea that can use re-existing assets to some degree...

Slasher

I feel a a fairytale coming on  (laugh)

The Queen, the Sorceress, Loki, the stone tablet and our hero  (laugh)

The mind boggles  (laugh)

VampireWombat

Hmm. Fairytale does give me an idea.
I could go a route closer to the Shannara Chronicles than standard post apocalyptic stuff.
A top-down post apocalyptic fantasy with a bit of some kind of punk thrown in it is.

"Centuries ago there once lived a sorceress named Ballima who was good queen Fallona's evil twin sister. Ballima was jealous that her sister Fallona was made queen instead of her and so she locked herself away in a snow cave high up in the mountains enraged with burning hatred."

"For six years she had tried to destroy the queens' kingdom with magic but she had failed. She had long searched for a greater magical power and had, at long last aquired a stone tablet from a travelling gypsy who claimed it had mystical powers. The inscription on the tablet was said to conjure up Loki, the god of mayhem and mischief."

"After several months Ballima began to understand the meaning of the stone tablets' inscription and set about conjuring up Loki so she could wreck havoc on the queens' kingdom."

Damn I love this theme, but sadly lack the time to develop something right now. Looking forward to see what others make, though!

maybe you could team up with someone and split the Labour :-)

Interesting, not a long time ago I came up with an original idea for a game that takes place in deadly freezing coldness. Even before I read this thread.

But creating it before the end of the month?? Ugh..

I definitely would not have the time draw the graphics myself this fast.
Does anyone know good links with existing art work and sprites I could use for the game (characters, items, background)?

I find it inspiring. Would it be possible to use the music for the game without copystrike?

Cassiebsg

I could be game to do game art if you want help in that department. I do 3D, so no pixel art though. Pm me if you want to team up.
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

I doubt it, it's from commercial game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/966350/Frostpunk_Original_Soundtrack/

so probably requires permission.

@Themaninboots, try the link at the bottom of the first post. That might have something you can use.

Both Itch.io and Open Game Art have a decent amount of stuff you can use. It's just a matter of finding stuff that fits your game.

My game is... Going so so, I guess. I'm still in the character sprite style stage. I've moved away from the top down idea. I might even have the first character created this weekend.
