Post by: Tosoto on May 25, 2005, 07:37:28 AM: I was sitting around a couple days ago when I got a bright idea.

"Why not have a contest where everyone uses default graphics for the TK, and using default everything! It would be fun!"

Why not? If everyone used the default graphics(well, terrain graphics) and systems. We could all see who is the best of the best at making a game that doesn't take 5 years to make. It would be simple, everyone making a small game that doesn't have to look good. Just some good ol' fun

what do you guys think?

Post by: Dude Man on May 25, 2005, 02:35:34 PM: Allright let's do it! I've had a few tricks up my sleve for the defeaults, for quite some time. Also I guess there's nothing wrong with haveing 2 projects [I won't start working on TKWars 4-6 untill DMM is nearly done 1-3].

So, we are allowed to have custom sprites right, just defeault board tiles?

Post by: Number Eight on May 25, 2005, 07:23:43 PM: I agree, that is a nice avatar. I don't think I'll enter the contest though, I want to devote all my game-making energy to Jason And The Argonauts. Wink
Title: (no subject)
Post by: TK Game Boy on May 26, 2005, 04:25:36 PM: I agree as well. No not with #8, but Tosoto's avi.

reminds me of Shinobi only its not a shinobi, its a Ronin.

OI! The idea for the default things is cool too since everyone is agreeing with it. Yeah its the bandwagon effect but eh, its alright right now.

I'll start on it right away as soon as you come up with some rules and prizes.

Post by: Mark of the Dragon on May 26, 2005, 08:59:29 PM: What's the deadline? Give it an August deadline, please. Life will be hectic for me for a while.

And as for a prize...how about a copy of Pariah for the PC? Very Happy

*EDIT* Which TK can I use?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Tosoto on May 27, 2005, 06:38:32 AM: Any TK will be fine

August is too far away. sometime in june will be the deadline

Post by: Aminaga on May 27, 2005, 09:22:25 AM: Hmmm, I'll get to starting it when I have the chance. I'm just too busy with my other projects at the time... <_< But I assure you, I will get to work on it eventually!!

Give us a real date.

As for the prize?

I dunno. Usually just an image with a reward on it does the trick but your a nobody so that wont do.

How about candy?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Mark of the Dragon on May 27, 2005, 10:42:10 PM: I might be able to do this now...

However, do I have to use ONLY the default tiles, even though the set is incomplete? What should I do about a cave or something?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Tosoto on May 27, 2005, 11:16:06 PM: Thats the whole point, you have to make something that looks good using the default tiles

As for a date: June 20th if you want to satisfy your needs so badly Smile

Da prize: respect, and a zip file full of witty pictures for you to share

Post by: TK Game Boy on May 27, 2005, 11:19:26 PM: What about the trophie image?

Post by: Dude Man on May 28, 2005, 08:23:50 AM: Is has. So I supose this would be honoring the olde TK then! Well, I think I'll use TK2 because makeing sprites in TK3 takes so long.

No
Another question.
Can you modify the default tiles like add corners to stuff in the actuall tileset , or arent you allowed at all?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Aminaga on May 28, 2005, 12:34:19 PM: I bet we can...

I'll get started now...
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Tosoto on May 28, 2005, 12:51:32 PM: Only small edits can be allowed, such as the corners you asked.

No complete conversions
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Aminaga on May 28, 2005, 01:38:43 PM: Tosoto, when you say sprites and music can be custom, is it still okay if I rip the sprites and music from other games?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Tosoto on May 28, 2005, 02:33:43 PM: yes
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Aminaga on May 28, 2005, 02:36:15 PM: Okay, I'll start working on the game then...
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Mark of the Dragon on May 28, 2005, 03:40:42 PM: Custom objects (computers and phones and stuff) are cool, right?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Aminaga on May 28, 2005, 08:24:46 PM: And one more thing, when you say no complete conversions with the terrain, does that mean we can't lighten the tiles for other things, like maybe a dark room for a boss battle?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Tosoto on May 29, 2005, 07:34:33 AM: complete conversions such as making the water tiles red to make it look like lava.

Only the terrain must be default, objects are ok

Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on May 29, 2005, 02:00:43 PM: But you just said, we can light tiles into different colours? That is what I ment about re-colours!
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Cesque on May 29, 2005, 03:01:42 PM: He prolly meant TK's default shading / lighting of tiles.

You can never know, though. He's Tosoto, after all.

No
