Greetings, people from 64digits.com.
I have been largely absent for the past years, and kinda gave up on programming halfway, but I'm starting to get a bit interretsed in it again.Therefore, the game that I am presenting to you today is a very old one, some of you might have played it already, some of you may not.It is basically one of my most famous games on the internet. There are countless videos of it on youtube (but please don't watch them, play the game first :D )so I am presenting it to your community today.
Controls:arrows: movespace/enter: talk to people/read signsThis game takes place in lavender town. It was originally created for the RDC (rapid developement competition) and was made in 4 hours. The theme for this contest was "life" So I decided to create a game that acts on real life.Unfortunately, when came the moment to test the game, all judges disappeared from the IRC and were never heard of again for a few hours. So there was no ranking.(also we were only four contestants)I haven't really opened this game file recently so I have no clue if it still works or not, but you should try it:Here is the download link:http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/171483/download
Did everyone die? ._.
Nah, i mean after playing the game :o
Small suggestion: add a way to stop the game because doing it by task manager is a pain.
nah I like the idea of my game being unstoppable :>
Of course, not being able to terminate a game that just gets scarier and scarier is quite scary. If you bundle it with some The Ring-style "I'm coming outta the screen to EAT YOUR SOUL"-type horror you could get people pulling the plug of fear.
Just a tip.No, it's just annoying.
If your game can't close, you HAVE to include jumpscares.
Make some tiny text, so you have to lean in to read it, and them make a scary face appear, with a looping scream. The person will jump, and then calm down slightly, and then get annoyed with the constant "Ahh! *loop* Aah! *loop* Aah! *loop* Aah!" and try to close the game. When they realize they can't close the game, they will curl up into a ball and cry, because of the constant "Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!"How about a game with a virus and flashing unsavory porn set to Charles Manson testimonies. Or what about a slideshow of your my pictures folder while a .wav of me saying I know where you live plays. Maybe a pacman example edit with the colors inverted. Oh, and the player movement sounds are just farts. Or howsa bout a game with a shoot button where you think it's normal 'cause you're aiming at the baddies, but the player just shoots himself when you click it. Even better, a combination of all these ideas, and we'll call it the only thing worse than having to task manager out of a game.
What Rez said. Having to task manager out of a game is worse than all the genocides and wars in human history combined, to the power of 666.
You've given me excelent ideas for next year's April Fools, Rez. Prepare your antiviruses, because when you login to 64D on April first, you'll be presented with meatspin with inverted colours (a twist on a classic), set to the soundtrack of Charles Manson's testimonies where he talks about how he knows where you live, and fart sounds with every thrust of the "pitcher's" penis. As it plays, it'll install a virus that sets your desktop wallpaper to a slideshow of your My Pictures folder. When you yank the cord to unplug your computer, you'll actually be yanking the cord to your own life support, and you'll die. =O
I've been doing primarily software QA for 8 hours a day for the past year-'n-a-bit, so I guess I've become quite used to the ol' ctrl+shift+exc.
