SUBMISSION OPEN, CLICK HERE FOR HOW TO SUBMITOld post, use newest page with submission info for all competition discussion:
Seeing as new members are consistently posting short blogs in the RA along the lines of "I am making an RPG like somethingorother kthxbai", I've decided to satisfy their urges here. To clarify, blogs in the RA (the Recent Activity Feed, in the right sidebar) must be longer than a few sentences, unless you're posting some other media (pictures/music/videos/games). You are also not allowed to blog in the RA more than once every 24 hours.You can talk about initial ideas or progress here, unless you have enough to talk about to make your own blog. You are not required to post your progress, this is simply to keep the RA free of pointless blogs.As RPG4D entry is nearly closed and the page has a bazillion comments (over 1000?), we'll also phase out the original page and use this page for any further discussion of the competition, until I open submission at the start of July.
I support MMORPGguy's idea.
Also, I like the idea replacing every mention of "pokemons" with "dangerous animals with abilities that defy physics", and now he has to do it, because I'll feel bad if he doesn't.I don't know if I mentioned this, but if the theme fit my Ludum Dare game was going to be called "Poke Monsters", where the pokemon are replaced by Lovecraftian monsters which are tamed by poking them with a stick.
My Google skills have yielded this:
Pik'thulhu?
There's some guy at deviantart making a mix of Pokemon and lovecraft.
I will play the hockeysticks out of that, MMORPGguy.
Also, if anyone has noticed, Taizen has been depressingly absent for a month. I haven't heard from him in a few weeks. Things are looking grim for our competition entry, since I've been using his absence as a reason to procrastinate.I caught him on Twitter the other day, and a little bit on YouTube way back. Like, a few weeks ago.
But those two instances of activity are the only ones I've seen from him lately.Yeah, I did notice, mostly because I knew that when he came back, he was going to ask about it.
…But in all seriousness, I wonder what he's doing lately. It's summer after all.Might as well post a little screenie of my project too. I'm more of a coder than a graphic artist, as you'll probably see:
