2 Week Game Collaboration!

Posted by Mush on April 5, 2009, 9:24 p.m.

While trying to think of things to do over spring break, I came up with the idea to organize a collaboration of 64digits members to make a game in two weeks.

Here's how it'll work: a team of 14 members (or less) will be split up into programmers and artists. Each member will have 24 hours to work on his/her part of the development process. The next member on the chain will pick up the project where the last person left off, and so on.

It's sort of like a game of telephone, only it's drawn out over 2 weeks and thousands of miles. It'll be interesting to see the end result.

Sound fun? Maybe it will be, only if I get enough interest.

Here's a schedule (subject to change w/ suggestions):

Design

Day 1: Overall design: genre, mechanics, story etc.

Art

Day 2: Character Design/Spriting

Day 3: Enemy Design/Spriting

Day 4: Character Animation

Day 5: Enemy Animation

Day 6: Background Tiles

Day 7: Music/Sound Effects

Programming

Day 8: Engine

Day 9: Engine

Day 10: Engine

Day 11: WILD CARD

Day 12: WILD CARD

Day 13: Special Effects?

Synthesis

Day 14: Put it all together!

Where have I see this before?

Sounds awesome, but it never works out.

I'll do all the parts in one week.

Why not just create a game in a week? I mean the idea sounds like fun but I doubt anyone here will be motivated enough to actually go through this.

That sounds fun…

Too bad this kind of stuff never works out. Ever heard of 64D's slogan? "Driven by lazyness"?
