we have ideas!blaise rascal posted:By the way, the SomethingAwful Game Jam is from July 6th to July 31st this year in case anyone wants to make a video game. BoldFrankensteinMir posted:... what about a game where you're a little rain cloud, and you only have so much water, and there are like flowers and rain-barrels to drop it on if you're feeling nice, or picnics and old men if you're not. alnilam posted:lol alnilam posted:it's a side scroller that's constantly moving and you're constantly raining but you can move back to hover over something for longer or move forward to drop minimal rain on something, and choose to maximize your DavidAlltheTime posted:Trees and lakes could be recharge stations for your humid nethers. BoldFrankensteinMir posted:As the levels progress we could introduce factors like temperature and barometric pressure. It's basically Rayman Run but teaches you meteorology. Jaded Burnout posted:One thing I must say is that many aspects of geology and climate, like a hill, would force a cloud to rain, which maybe is a bit of a harsh experience what with the loss of control and all that. Jaded Burnout posted:Like in Street Fighter. blaise rascal posted:I was actually kind of hoping someone would suggest this lol MockingQuantum posted:just be aware that JonTerp & the other organizers do stick pretty hard to the "max 3 on a team (unless you're just doing sound files)" rule. The first time they did that, I was doing sound design and actually integrating the audio into our game, and for the purposes of that rule, I was definitely considered a full team member. I'm not sure what they'd do if you had, like, four people on a team, but I would not be surprised if they disqualified a game from winning anything because of it. BoldFrankensteinMir posted:Hence later-level challenges. It could start cartoonishly simple and by the end be a decent little hydrophysics sim. A well-ramped challenge level is choice gaming in my book! blaise rascal posted:Oh yeah we would be clear that we weren't REALLY participating in the actual contest, just doing the same stuff at the same time as everyone else MockingQuantum posted:hmm... it had to be 2015 or earlier, I think, but I honestly couldn't be sure. And 16 was hyperbole, but I know one year blastron had a team that was at least 6-8 people, and even that is... oof. It would have been one of the string of Punch Fight games. BoldFrankensteinMir posted:Yeah, we could be an out-of-competition entry, that takes a lot of pressure off. Robot Made of Meat posted:It's also the BYOB way. BoldFrankensteinMir posted:I feel like a BYOB special entry into the summer game jam could be amazingly awesome, and we have a couple ideas already but that's no reason to stop brainstorming. If there isn't a thread by the time I get home I'll make one. City of Glompton fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jun 22, 2018 |

i've actually composed and recorded a small amount of music. my style is heavily influenced by the 8-bit era. here's a video capturing a lot of the song ideas i've never actually turned into songs. some of them are video game-y sounding. a few are mini-covers of actual songs, but about 95+% are original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpQLQ-MbzzE ----- |

sorry if that video is too long, btw. they're a bunch of 20-30 second samples of things i've written and there are like 70. might be good to put on in the background while you do something else.

Until a year ago I did sound design for games for a living, so there's that I also dabble in music, but since there seems to be a fair amount of interest in that, I'll just say I'm happy to mix others music if that's useful. Also depending on the logistics of who's actually making the game and what engine it's being done in, I can probably handle most or all of the audio integration, though it's been a donk's age since I touched Unity or Unreal directly

So are we all gravitating towards the cloud game? It does seem pretty appropriate. Somebody who knows what they're doing, how does this process begin? |

The whole "No Mods, No Managers" concept might work against us. Is anybody willing to take charge of this game thing?

Robot Made of Meat posted:The whole "No Mods, No Managers" concept might work against us. Yeah, cohesive software design doesn't seem like it will spontaneously emerge from a drum-circle. Unfortunately. But don't look at me, I'm so dumb i think agile and waterfall are yoga positions. Bonus joke- I'm so dumb I think scrum is what they built Day of the Tentacle with. Bonus joke- I'm so dumb when I was asked if I knew Python I started quoting the dead parrot skit. |

I'll help out with the cloud game but I don't wanna be in charge of it I'd be willing to be in charge if it was a different type of game I actually think CoG would be perfect to lead the development of the cloud game

I just think I would be a poor fit to lead a game with a "cute" tone. I am not fluent in the language of "cute." (But I would happily help with code and assets.) I guess if I ruled the world I would be in charge of an 2D isometric RPG

Oh man I would write dialog trees for months for an iso RPG (I used to write radiant audioplays for escape rooms, it was super fun), but I just don't think we have time. But then I'm dumb, maybe they don't take as long as I think? |

I can sort of organize things depending on the level of organization desired, I am however not a programmer and an okay game designer at best so I'd kinda have to just play producer.

final boss should be  while you fight him in space on four lily pads. stays in the top center of the screen and says "it is wednesday my dudes", with the words "wednesday", "my" and "dudes" falling over 3 of the 4 lily pads.once is at 1/4 of his healthbar he divides into 5 mini who bounce all over the screen while time and space distorts.When dies he goes to the center of the screen, turns white and opens a portal, after entering the portal you're transported to a green valley with happy clouds where there's a hammock between two trees, and in that hammock is byob cat, who starts singing the BYOB REGGAE while the credits roll.Then after the credits, there's a cutscene of  reviving and a teaser title.BYOB 2 - ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: THE REVENGEANCE OF GBS |
