Qvintvs: Endless Winter

Posted by omicron1 on Nov. 11, 2007, 4:19 p.m.

So, I saw the 1 Grand prize for the YoYoGames competition, and decided to enter. So, I've been working for two days on my entry so far, and I have:

* Skeletal animation system

* Weather effects

* Basic game engine

* 3 enemy types

* 9 spells

* 2 levels

* 1 NPC

* Basic interface+visual theme

* A couple of gameplay "quirks"

So, what is QVINTVS: Endless Winter? Think of it as an Action-Adventure/Platformer/RPG. You have your world exploration, you have your frenetic fights, you have your platforming segments, and you have your leveling system - all in one game. With a dollop of humor and an interesting story to top it off.

Gameplay conceits (What makes it unique):

* Temperature gauge. If you get too cold or too hot, you will eventually freeze to death/burn to death. This can be remedied by the eating of warm/cold foods; keeping active; or by moving into colder/warmer areas.

* Full-fledged combat system - use swords, spears, axes, bows, and thirty different spells to defeat a wide variety of enemies.

Projected game length: 4 to 8 hours.

It's a cool prize and all, but that keeps me from entering. I don't know why they'd pay that much.

I'd enter…maybe if I could get away from my projects. Good luck, omicron.

You're not entering because the prize is too much? [:?]

Anyway, looks like you've made a quick start to your game. I think I'll enter, but rather than start a new project, Ill change the direction of my current one to a more wintery theme =]

@marbs: Yes, the prize intimidates me.

AGH, whatever. I'm entering! I've got my idea and everything. Time to check the criteria again.

Shsss, nobody is going to win. YoYo will give the prize to themselves (and don't asnwer saying yoyo staff can't participate, anyways, nobody knows who are part of yoyo, they could arrange some shit to not give the prize to anybody)
