The Week of awesome II - The competition Thread!

Interesting, good luck to the rest of the teams, let the competition begin!

Oh yeah, good theme!.. ermm I'll make a... uh.. *mumbledangthemeihavenoideamumblegrumble*

I see a "toy story" coming...

:)

Ah thats a good one. Was waiting for this theme a long time :P

Update : http://kks21199.mrgoogleglass.com/gamedev/its-out/

Nice theme ! Good luck to everyone

Here is my first blog post.

Im expecting someone to make a game about undead toys AKA zombies. Though if you think about it, toys arent really dead in their normal state so maybe its just some zombie dolls that you have to throw at your buddies to get some action.

I'm going the simple way, a sort of build/complete the level to allow some units to reach their MacGuffin.

Tiles are made of building blocks, hence the name Building Blocks.

Took way too much time to create an editor for arbitrary block sizes, but now it works. This should help churning out levels way faster.

Err wow, "build the level" type gameplay is exactly the kind of idea I've been knocking about with too! I haven't decided if it's what I want to commit to yet though, the animation requirements are all that's concerning me right now.

Tried some concepts:

This is a very good theme because for the first time I managed to think of an idea within 30 minutes.

I will try and keep my progress updated on my journal (and blog):

Well, as detailed in my "day 1" blog post, I have an initial idea to work on! Something dark and horrific (if I do my job well, at least). ^_^

Im expecting someone to make a game about undead toys AKA zombies.

Well, not quite undead toys as much as undead children controlling toys... ;)

(But no zombies.)

It's amazing to see what you all have gotten done thus far. I may be in over my head, but either way I'm having fun. This is my work up to this point:

The "adventure" plugin that I am making to be used in this game will be open source and can be found on my github later in the week.

A quick question, if I may: How dark a tone are we allowed to take? I took a quick look at the rules, and didn't see any restrictions on content (although I presume that the site rules apply, which likely impose at least some restrictions), but feel that I should ask to be on the safe side...
