Contests / Re: April Writing Jam

Ah man, I would love to join but I don't think I will be able to. We're gearing up for another game launch at work and it's going to be stressful.

I'm up for a writing thing, sure : ) Last time I just submitted a chapter of something I already had but I'm happy to write something new and stick to a theme this time, no probs.

(Also I'm aware I offered to provide audiobook style recordings of the winners last time. I actually did momeka's night of max, but got part way through prpl's before my voice started going and I never finished >_>)

Contests / April Writing Jam

« Last post by Prpl_Mage on April 15, 2019, 07:40:33 PM »

I'm avoiding using the term "contest" and sticking to the terminology that Itch and other sites uses.
I mentioned earlier that this would happen sometime around April 5th, that was 10 days ago and I was a bit busy.

So, are you guys interested in participating in a Writing Jam that ends at May 15th ish?

Don't want to spoil too much of what my plan ended up being but we're talking writing a screenplay (A lot of dialogues and prompts; less focus on environment). I wanted to do something different than short stories this time. If someone has another idea I'm willing to alter this. These things are for the community after all.

Hey it was funny and very well done! Couldn't get the private jokes and references to previous games but that was fun.
I played it for two hours or so, until the point I had to enter the cave of something, after the forest of whatever.

Difficulty was pretty tight sometimes, with only one or two potions left that don't heal much. I was about to give up during the fight againt the pale guy's henchmen, but I hit the wrong command and it seems like it was the right thing to do. xD
Animation is really cool. The scene with the heroes captured by goblins was top notch humor. Great work guys. 

 

You have NO Earthly idea how much it means to me that you pointed out a scene I worked on as your favorite. I always laughed at it myself while testing the movement bits to be sure they were operating well. I never would have thought that one would anyone's fave. Thank you for restpring my faith in chain game fans!

I am sorry the inside jokes weren't able to be undetstood stand alone. Believe it or not even in my chapter,which gas always had the most I tgink even back in Wrath of Gaia, I tried to limit it mostly to old weapons and not make the same mistake I did in Juno's Odyssey. I used stuff from Lost and Found as the first level's puzzle AND punished the player with a Spirit loss of ten points. Prppl fixed it by adding a 10+ spirit bonus if you somehow got it right for each of the three steps. Pretty awesome little thing. Also put a special form for party's shape shifting summoner if you were brave enough to pick "the right dumb answer" Lol

....And we wonder why some video game easter eggs from the ninties are only being found out today....

Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks Momeka, I'm almost done - I could really use a large western horse carriage or wagon, just for scenery, to put in a town or by the side of a road occasionally, though I can live without it - I'd also quite like a charset of the Bar owner magic user woman in some sort of 'magic using' pose, but I can sort it out myself otherwise (you'll just do it better) ; ) I also need a magic store owner which I can just do myself, but I know that's the sort of thing you love so if you fancy it, please go ahead : )

I'm done with a lot of what I was doing and now I've just got to find the time to make a little more dungeon and a boss. I've gone a totally different way to normal and made the game a little 'open world'y as you'll see, so whether the part two person wants to carry that on, i.e. make my stuff available during their section, is entirely up to them.

That looks amazing. Especially with the variation of both ground tiles and the few deviating broken walls and such
