F4D - Judgment Day
Posted on January 10, 2012 at 15:06

So after all these extensions, the day of judgment has finally come. Here's a recap.

JUDGING
Judging begins today, and the first round will go for two days, giving you some time to play the games (stay on top of this please). Then on Thursday, the second round will begin, where the top five proceed for one last chance at first place.

For the first round, votes MUST be submitted via PM, with your top three favorite games. Try to take several things into account, including gameplay, innovation, and how well the game fits the theme. For the second round, everyone only gets one vote.

The results will be announced on Friday.

And without further ado, I give you the games. IF I MISSED ANYBODY, it is your job to let me know. Also, if you found lethal bugs that you'd like to fix, I'll allow you to replace the file you sent me.


THE PARTICIPANTS



Deep Freeze
by link2x101 and anthonyloprimo



Download
Notes: The game is still in early stages, however it's still very much playable. Time constraints from the competition and my schoolwork (along with my partner's job) definitely posed a challenge when trying to make these things better



Epic Christmas

Eternal Winter: The Spirit Breaker

Frozen Demo

Download - Modded Version with a D3D shader injection by TplusK with 2x FXAA

Notes: Graphics and music can be upgraded with ingame money. This is also a demo.



Persistence
by Acid



Download
Notes: Minor glitches throughout... :( I kinda broke it a little bit. But it's still playable.



Snowball Commander

Super Snowball Fighters
by DaggerHog

Download
Notes: Extract the files before playing. The game is complete, albeit with a crappy ending.



Surrounded With White
by sirXemic



Download 1 (without installer, needs redistributables
Download 2 (without installer, not sure if it works)
Notes: Download redistributables here. If the installer doesn't work, use redistributables. The physics in this game are awful (can climb up walls when crystal is underneath you) and make it boring pretty quick.
Made in XNA 4.0



Transition
by Flashback



Screenshots (1)
Download
Notes: Runs on Android!



The Fall of Sarenta
by Kilin

Download
Notes: Not officially entering, but I put in the work, so I wanted to be among all of you. If you like the game, I'd like to hear, but all votes will be discarded.
Also, I ended up removing a boss and skimping on the final boss. While it makes me sad, I still think it turned out all right.
Bugs: A few people have found a bug on the crystal boss, where if you don't focus one crystal, you'll actually get an error that'll crash the game. So if you want to see the (in my opinion) cool ending, focus one crystal at a time. I've fixed it already but am too lazy to upload right now.

There you have it. Please follow the guidelines presented in the judging section.

Well, here's to the first game maker comp I've ever entered. At least I got the game somewhat finished.

I thought I was the only one who's never entered a competition before!

Anyway, good luck to all of those who've entered. May the best game win.

Which isn't going to be mine, looking at all of the other entries here

Also, forgot to mention in the notes, that R is to reload and tapping the reload button fast will make you reload faster, but oh well.

Kilin, your game is amazing, and I'm usually not a fan of those types of games.
I'm assuming that you were working on your game non-stop for a few weeks. Right?
Posted by JID January 10, 2012 16:15 - 1.4 years ago

Right, I guess I should give some of these superior entries a try.

I like these contests. They motivate me to make stuff. But they also take away all my free time.

Speaking of which, is it possible to start fires in your game?

And is it possible to beat the floating guy in JID & Colseed's game?

Yes. I just didn't explain how to beat him at all.

What you have to do is lure him towards the gas tanks on the ground, then shoot them. Blowing him up.

You have to do this 3 times in order to kill him.

Also, with the flying peices of wood or whatever, you can shotgun them to destroy them.

We're going to keep working on this game, even after the comp is over.
We pretty much made most of the stuff in the demo in only about 4 or 5 hours.

^^^
I noticed slow motion can make aiming kinda hard if you're not prepared for it though
and if you detonate one of the propane/gas tanks when the monster is too far away, then it's game over I guess :/
Could probably make it more forgiving in that respect I guess.

Yeah. I really wanted to fix that. But, I was almost out of time for the comp, and I had a class in like 10 minutes. :(

Pinned - I expect you to rig the contest for me now.

| [#16]

Yeah... It almost was, but I ran out of time, it was 5 am... I felt bad and I had to get up at 7.

I can fix it, but that would be cheating. :(

It SHOULD be a part of the game, but it's not.

Welp after playing the other entries my game looks like complete garbage.

Then again I started trying to polish it at around 4 AM so what could I do.

I actually enjoyed playing your game, DaggerHog. I kept playing until I beat it.
Posted by JID January 10, 2012 18:53 - 1.4 years ago
| [#19]

I've played the first five games so far, and they're all awesome. I keep thinking about good things that stand out and thinking about saying them, but there are too many, and every game has them. ('cept stevenup cheated... lol but I liked both the Jared games, so don't get me wrong :P)

I'll make a blog when I finish all of the games.
