Winter Contest Projects - Discussion

I'm officially entering this contest- but I'm taking my time with it.  We've got two months.
I wouldn't exactly say that. The contest will probably end around December 15th, so when you think about it it's only slightly more than a month.
 
How well do you think a sad piece would go over?  Mine's more of the psychological kind of emotional.

Also, the name of my project is Eternal Starlight.  Just to reserve the name :p

Mine's sort of a sad-ish one as well. I think they're alright, as long as they're "warm and fuzzy".
 
Mine is a bit cliched type of RPG, but i like to do those every now and then, its called "The Winter Jewel Of Avarice", there are only 4 weapons for each character, 4 characters, cause its small. but anyway, the winter festival of the town of avarice is being held, but the oracle senses the man in her vision will steal the winter jewel. i might even try to have a cooking mini game or something.
 
Ugh, well, I took a screen's of prexus's front version of the sledding sprite and re-made the sled a bit along with editing out the kid and putting in my hero (who's still a kid but a different one). So now I can have sledding rather then snowboarding. Yay. I can't do anything about the movement views like his though because my minigame doesn't work like that. So I'll just have a flat face down view duplicated 4 times.
 
Mine isn't exactly an RPG.  You get summoned to this weird alternet dimmension where your village is a hot desert.  The man who summons you says that this is caused by the missing Season Scrolls one of the gods steels.  You have an hour to find all 100 of the scrolls throughout the village an it's surrounding mountains.  If you run out of time, depending on how many scrolls you have, you'll get a different ending.

It's going to be made in VX, so beware of it's shitty RTP.
 
Ok, I know this animation probably sucks but I've had a go at animating a battler for an arrow shooting minigame. It will be Christmas related, don't worry :) It'll be another battle system alternative.

Probably sucks, as I said, but oh well. I don't want to use anyone else's graphics or scripts in this game, if possible.

If this is any good I'll do it for all three battlers in the game, each will have their own unique minigame. (Arrow shooting, spell casting, and sword... swording)
 
baby chickens taste better with hollondaise sauce :D

Did you know that owls can only see the color blue?
Did you know that dogs don't see color?
Oh, and did you know that this one time, at band cam.... umm, where was I?

Oh, yes!
Hi.

No, wait, that wasn't it... wtf was I here for?

OHHH yeah I remember now.

That one guy said Averice- which is the main (and only) town in ManaStorm (my long-term project.)  However, as my project is private, and not publically discussed, I guess I'll be the one changing city names.  Oh well.

And also, it is only one month :( my feature-length film will now only be a half-feature-length film :(
And I really need someone to help me map.  They're not big maps, not hard maps, not a lot of maps, just maps.  I have too much scripting to do already.  I know that paying someone to help in a competition is just wrong, and I would NEVER do that.

Bribes, on the other hand...  If someone wants to help me map, I'll split any prizes won, (of course) and I'll also donate 30 unique pieces to the HKCP over 2 months time (with recolours which won't count towards the 30) as my good deed.  Please?

Edit: Wow, this is almost spam.
 
Wyatt: It's not bad, but of course adding more frames to make it smoother would improve a bit. Also, you might want to move his eyes, it's awful hard to aim when you're looking the other way. And it almost breas the fourth wall when he's looking at you all the time. You could maybe also do something with his right hand to make it look like he's firing.

My game is going to revolve around completing tasks to unlock minigames you can play at any time later. 

A few of these are

-Delivering Christmas trees to the locals in the village gets you the sled, which lets you travel around the village faster.  It's also great fun when you hit the snowmounds lying around and go flying.  :lol:

-Go snowboarding on the slopes and bust a move!

-Collect and view your snowglobes you'll recieve for helping people out.

-And if you manage to complete every task and then some, you'll be given acess to Santa's Workshop, where you'll get to meet the big man in the red suit himself!  You'll also get a ride on the sleigh and maybe, just maybe, take the wheel...er...reins!

There's also some hidden minigames I won't reveal because they're...hidden.

I have a very very sad story in mind..... but i have a pretty solid edit of the RTP that I'm working with, so....that's one thing down. :D? This probably won't get done til after christmas XD
 
I really hope I finish mine before the deadline. I'm planning quite a few things for my game, but I'm getting busier every day and my computer's going to be gone for the next couple of days.
 
Same here, more and more life stuff into in the way...

It's the first minigame, as simple skating game. Guide Allie in her choreography(or whatever you call that). You can only miss twice without tumbling, which isn't that easy when there 4-5 moves to do in very short time (she skates meanwhile, not waiting for you). Half event half script, like I usually do.

(By the way, can anyone tell me who made that ice autotile?)

Well, I'm thinking of making a short rpg based on the same characters of my main series of games. Same horror/comedy style story (maybe a little less horror since it's a Christmas story) It'll be mainly about the grumpy main character, Rhett. Who doesn't like Christmas, but as the story unfolds.... well you'll see. I might include some minigames like the obvious sled race and such with a few specials based on Rhetts little problem. :P Anyways, I'm just getting started, so no spoilers just yet. Patience, people:D. However, I do believe it'll be quite cool and entertaining so... I'm even using graphics almost ENTIRELY made by me! So, until the next update... cheers!

I don't want to give to much away about my idea. All I'm going to say is that it has some thing to do with an Emo, and it going to be mainly in black and white...
BUT there will be warm fuzzy feelings!
