TRIWEEKLY CHALLENGE #4: WEATHER.

The theme for August's triweekly challenge is

- ~ - WEATHER - ~ -

(see this thread for more information on triweekly challenges)

After a brief hiatus in July, we're rebooting Triweekly Challenges again! Hopefully a break from intense game making action has gotten you pumped and ready for another three weeks of spectacular development!

Weather. It affects everybody, and rules the planet. Weather is omniscient, having a constant presence in our daily lives. Most weather we experience is mild - maybe the occasional storm here or there. But sometimes, when the right atmospheric conditions are present, incredible things can happen.

Heat waves - the silent killer, leaving millions with health problems and scorching the earth. Tornadoes - the awe-inspiring menance that leave only twisted ruins and ruined lives. Hurricanes - massive storms with massive winds, massive rain, and minimal comfort. Floods - enormous walls of water that leave nothing behind. And blizzards - frigid storms that can bring entire cities to a standstill. There are a myriad of weather-related events out there, and it's up to you to stick them in a game.

All you have to do is make a short little game that somehow centers around the weather. Weather can play as big or as little of a role as you want, but it must somehow be a central theme to the plot. The weather doesn't have to be a big natural disaster or anything either, but it must play a part in the story.


Guidelines:

  • You can use any maker for this challenge. RPG Maker, Game Maker, anything you can think of. Don't be afraid to try a new program!
  • The game should ideally be at least 5 minutes or so long, though a longer game doesn't necessarily mean a better one. Don't worry about making something long - focus on making it entertaining.
  • You can still use any graphics or music you want, but make sure to give credit where credit is due.


Deadline: Monday, August 23rd


Once you are finished your game, PM the file to me. On August 23rd, all the games will be available for public download in another thread, where people will vote on your game.

You can use this thread to show off your game's progress, ask questions, or talk about the theme. You don't have to sign up, as long as I get that PM before August 23!

Yayks, I'll try to enter this one as well, if there is anybody else entering.
It will give me the opportunity to practice with tiles, I still haven't tried yet.

I am most definately participating in this.

Strange thing happened yesterday...as I wondered to myself, should I participate in this challenge? It immediately began to thunder and rain. "I take that as a yes?" Lmao.

Can I just send you Don Miguel's Adventure? That game had a crystal that changed the weather, and that is most definitely weather-related.
 
totally forgot. Maybe I can ruffle up something in 13 days, most likely not since i have school starting.
Hey any submission works. :smile:

Unfortunately my college schedule is preventing me from finishing this anywhere near on time. Thanks for the inspiration, though, devy!

I had a virus roaming trough my computer, forcing me to delete most of my data and setting me back a little, but I managed to save this project somehow, so I'll most likely enter this one... But I cannot enter on my own, can I? So, is there anyone else entering???
