Pryme8 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 We have not done a monthly competition in a while. I am super busy this month to run one, but would anyone be interested in one possibly next month? I could even offer a prize of economy hosting for a year for the winner, cause I have an extra cpanel server just sitting doing nothing. Im gonna be out of town for like a week, hopefully when I get back we have some takers. brianzinn, geeksesi::javad();, Sebavan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebavan Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 This is a nice idea and I bet some ppl might have time for this with the vacation 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I figured offering a prize would give a little more incentive as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylanD Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 what kind of competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hmmm not sure prolly something specific like: Best Mini Game with Two Balls and Box... or something dumb like that. - Best Simplistic 3D Remake of a Retro Game - Best Particle "Explosion" System - Cleanest Deployment of Pong with bonus points for documenting the process. Something like that... where we all have a clear goal and a month to pull it off. I will not be able to compete but will have time to run and help judge if we can get like 3 or 4 people actually willing to do it.

DylanD Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I will be in school, but I'm sure I could give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not expecting anything amazing so it should not take too much time from your learning. so we got one taker, I need at least two more! ... kinda wanna start tagging people ...

brianzinn Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think it would be fun to do some Arkanoid game with physics and low gravity... I just know that I have absolutely no time in the next month unfortunately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 ooooo, how about a Lunar Lander remake! I think any retro game redone would be the topic. Cause Arkanoid remake sounds fun too... or like Mars Patrol/Moon Patrol or 3D World Runner (ohh my gosh I might just do this one to do it) brianzinn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babbleon Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Games arent my thing, the last one I put any effort into was Flight Unlimited in about 1996 / 97. If that came to Babylon it would be awesome. Makes me wonder actually, how many ppl on here are developing games or just other 3d stuff?

geeksesi::javad(); Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 wooow...it's good. i think it's better if we focus on idea... ( because i'm new to make game ) like a new type of board game ( ex mix a some board like ches and other ) and rate game by idea... and for prize we can grow the best and popular idea to make a good game ( sorry about my bad english writing, I hope you understand what I want to say ) NasimiAsl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waverider Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 This will be fun🙂!! I want to participate! What kind of game are we making? Any conclusion yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I think the consensus is remake of a retro game. so we got two takers cool, if we can get one more then we got something. Maybe try to start it on the 15th of this month and run it for 30 days? DylanD, waverider and geeksesi::javad(); 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCPalmer Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Retro game, but must it be a computer game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Nope, you can be as creative as you want to be. I define game very loosely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuintusHegie Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Do retro trains count too? 🚂 Pryme8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanD Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 this might be a silly question, but would we still be able to ask forum questions during the competition? Also if I hand in a school project thats cool too right? Could I have multiple people on my team or is it solo? Hahahaha so many questions that probably will be answered when the competition starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 yes, yes, yes and yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuintusHegie Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Here's a link to a retro tetris game tutorial to get you started if you are having writer's block: http://osconqsc2015.azurewebsites.net/qsccontent/babylon/babylonjs.html I've started adopting a retro 8 bit environment in my Model Train Simulator game. Loosely based on an old DOS/C64/Atari game from 1983/1984. Plan is to submit 1 or 2 levels for the competition :-) Here's a work-in-progress preview so far: The skybox contains images from the original retro game (left a game level, right the start screen). I'm now working on 8bit-sampling my ground textures and structures. Also this world tile (created from some license free web images) may be of fun use for your game: I put it on the positive Y-axis of this particular train level's Skybox ;-) Enjoy!

Pryme8 Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I love it, and nice logo! So I figured if we have 3 people ready should we start everything next week? What it will consist of from the start date will be a 30 day development sprint to see what you can make in accordance to what was discussed above. Thinks like originality, documentation, and execution will be taking into consideration. A complete product is not needed for the entry, but something close to workable is encouraged. @QuintusHegie, @DylanD, @waverider, @babbleon Yall ready? Does Wednesday of this week sound like a good launch date? waverider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
