Charas Game Making Contest!!!

[Razor]

Either the forum's birthday or anal sex.
Or a third thing.

Even though the forum was arguably created earlier than March or whenever, since before this forum there was that smaller test forum thing Alex made.

Well, I will admit that this isn't going to be as big as some of you are probably thinking, but it will happen. I am hoping to get the entire community involved with this though.

the whole point of this thread, i was advised that I should tell people about this before just simply starting it. I was originally gonna wait till the end of the week, but I wanted to have some fun. And so far one person has been on the right track...

All the more better for me.

[Osmose]

It's not that the idea is dumb(Although depending on how many people actually finish, it could just end up being a failed attempt), it's the weird, mysterious way he wants to present it - it'd be a lot cooler if he just did it, because the suspense adds nothing to it.

[Bluhman]

I'm not interested.

At all. You really have no idea how to get somebody worked up about something. Really.

[Glitch]

Well it's not starting until the end of the month, this was supposed to just be a fun way to wait for it. But in retrospect it's prolly not the best prelude. And considering the nature of this event people will prolly need the extra time to prepare.

Meh, if someone who knows what it is wants to tell everyone then go ahead. If no one does I'll just tell you all later.


You all went and ruined my fun...    



and Osmose, don't condemn it to failure when it hasn't started, instead try and get people excited about it and help me get people to finish the event.

More proof that pointless spamming is fun.

I haven't really been here for anything big, so naturally I'm hoping this will be my chance to show y'all I'm a cool dood.  But meh, whatever.  I'm not gonna hold my breath for this.

[X_marks_the_ed]

Will there be a new generator?

like a chipset generator, where you upload pieces of it, and it plops ou t a full chipset?

[Osmose]

I'm not "condemning it's failure", regardless of that being a double negative, I'm simply saying that with something like this it's possible it could fail.

Frankly, I think you should've just started it now rather than trying to "build up hype" by saying "something is coming." Charas doesn't buy stuff like that.

PS: Chipset generator... wonder if that's possible. (toys with settings for a bit) Limited, but certainly possible.

For frick's sake man. This is your project. Its your job to salvage it when things start going bad like this. But since you're not going to, I'll do it for you. Just this once.

Glitch's idea is to have a very short game contest. Only 1/2 hour to 1 hour long at most. Sort of like Meiscool's contests in that it doesn't require too much work and has a rather short deadline. People get a few days to just whip up something random and then everyone plays them and has fun. Probably some judging and prizes in there somewhere, I don't know, not really my idea, but the main purpose is to just get people back into game making and flood the forum with a lot of little minigames to have some fun with.

[Dragonium]

Ah, I see. Sounds like an excellent idea. I will definetely be participating in this.

*Feigns interest*

Well the reason I said that was cause I was at work and had to get off the computer right then. I was coming back on now (my lunch break) to explain. But I see you beat me to it.


Ok, Yes, this is Charas (not quite first annual) but hopefully first successful game making contest!!! (
As we've all heard multiple times from our detractors, for an rpg maker web site we have a severe lack of games to show. In the sanc people were complaining bout  different stuff, and so I decided to do something about it.

I want people to get involved, and get excited, instead of everyone working on a bunch of projects we know are not going to ever be finished, why not everyone just make some small easily finishable games. Gives everyone some games to play, and gives people the ability to say they completed a game.

well work calls, I'll explain the rest later.

[Dragonium]

Some good points in there. We could do with some games...

I remember a while back there was a contest going where everyone made a Christmas-themed mini-game (I think Warxe organised it), and then they were all going to be put together into one big mini-game collection type thing at the end. 'Course it failed, mainly because people either couldn't think of ideas because the range of things they were allowed to do was too narrow, or (more likely) because people got lazy and didn't finish their games. But the point was that it made people work on their games - the majority got at least part of their games made.

So instead of just saying "lol, make a game", could we do something similar to that? I mean, it's not based around a holiday or real theme, so we'd get a good range of different ideas.

Hell, I may take part. Thing is a lot of people won't because they know that things like this usually fail.

But hey, we've had that many failed contest, think how cool it'd be to actually have one that was successful. Only way to do that is to keep on trying, right?

Meh, I'm done. In a short while I expect MrMister will laugh at my sentiments and call me a gaytard. Or something.

[Meiscool-2]

Well, I plan to enter. It will be a good way to get my battle system beta tested.

Really people, you don't have to make a completely new game. All you've got to do is take a segment of a game you've made and add a begining and an ending. Hell, even if you want some coding you've done tested for bugs, all you've gotta do is put a little plot around the coding and walla, you've got a game and some people forced to test your codes.
