Just a measly 7 days remain in the Scary4Digits competition! It's time to get the ball rolling if you haven't already!
The progress I've seen in games is continuing to impress and some participants have already completed and submitted their entries. I haven't played any of them yet as I'm waiting for a Halloween game day, but I truly am looking forward to it!I just want to reiterate that it doesn't matter what you make as long as it's playable and makes use of all the themes. Don't shy away from making or completing an entry for the competition because you think it sucks or "isn't good enough", because regardless of what you personally think you still have a chance to win! What sucks to you might be awesome to everyone else, so just release it!Just make a game and have fun! There are no standards you have to follow in terms of quality and you don't have to impress anyone; just make what you want and have fun doing it!The competition ends October 30th, 2014 at 23:59 UTC (19:59 EDT). You must submit your entry before this deadline!
@CyrusRoberto:
Is that a compliment or an insult?(Don't answer…!) :)2 entries have already been submitted (Yaru's and jacklehamster's), and I anticipate at least 3 or 4 more… hopefully some people have been quietly working on entries as well.
I hereby declare to submit something, however flawed it may be!
So you can still count me in! ;)):D -Let's play a little game…
In order to get out of the room, you must first finish your game! NO FOOD until the game is done! An no luxurious showers. JK Five healthy meals a day, an even sugar curve throughout the day and 30+ minutes of exercise. ;) And shower, but not too long. Fighto.I'm out. Haven't spent more than a total of 10 hours on the project so far. I've been really busy with work and Dark Souls II so… yeah. I'm not in the right state of mind to work on a project like this. In a few weeks I plan to just get back to my main project, these distractions can be fun but it also takes up a lot of time i could be spending on a more meaningful project.
good luck to everyone still in it, like every year I do plan on playing all the entries and leaving a lengthy comment/review.Hey, the game is almost finished, I just need to fix some bugs.
The game is called "Night of Nightmare", if all goes well, tomorrow I will submit my entry for the contest. Good luck and encouragement to all participants.Sorry for my English…I'm quitting the competition. I may finish what I was working on and post early versions and stuff, but I don't have enough of the beginning areas done for a demo for Halloween.
Sucks. What I have done is a lot different than what I usually do, in an interesting way. But things didn't pan out differently.@Mataguiris: way too dark. that's not how you set the atmosphere for a horror game, you can make a game darker but making 90% of your screen black pixels is a massive waste. it's ugly and irritating to the player. Just thought I'd leave that tip as it could potentially be a big factor in judging the game. Other than that, congrats on finishing something :P
