contest

[Joey]

i was just thinking. what if we had a contest where someone drew pictures and views and made sounds, and the contest was, given those resources, you had to make a game with that stuff and only that stuff. the person that made the best game with it (best story etc.) would win.

[StrangeQuark]

Sounds interesting.
Keep those resources limited enough, and award creativity.
Maybe several people should create the views/pictures independantly, so at first sight, there's no connection at all between them.

on the ags board they had a comp where someone would post a pencil sketch of a background, and everyone had to do their impression of that sketch.  maybe we could do something similar here.

How about MAGI (montly adventure game interpreter) more like mags (montly ags)?

Since i have nothing better to do, I'd be glad to take part in it.

[Eero R]

I wouldn't have anything against it.

[Oliver]

A few might have anything AGAINST it.
But how many will take part in it?
Maybe Eero and me?
ofcourse if Eero will take part in it:D

Is anyone else going to take part in it?

[Joey]

yeah it was just a thought. if we decide to have the competion, i guess ill host it. ill have a few people draw background and views and stuff so they will not relate in any way like strangequark said. if a number of you will do it i guess ill host the competition. i need to think of a prize though .

[Eero R]

Give us one of your wrist bands, or chains, or spikes... no, just kidding.

[Oliver]

A new skateboard deck wouldn't be bad

Just kidding:p, you need a prize, defenately, otherwise noone will be intrested in it.

[Eigen]

Wouldn't be the knowing that "I'm the best" the best prize?  

Probably not... but still.

Anyway, I might take part too.

[Oliver]

yeah, prize would be great, otherwise i will not waste my time, I'll better make some game of my own.

Hehe, Eigen, I was just hopeing that you won't take part
Then I'd have a chance to win

[Kon-Tiki]

Hmmm... I'd be better off working on Ninja Forever some more, but I'm interested in this too. It'd be purely the coding and story?

[Joey]

yep. you would have random views pics and maybe sounds. you could not add any more things. only code. you have to program a game with a good story. best game wins. you wouldnt have to use all of the views and pics and stuff it came with. ill post rules if i decide to do this.
