My Resolutions Entry |
|
I hate this. I just start a new project, I'm working diligently on it, and then Jay has to go and screw things up by posting a link to a Canadian compo that I JUST CAN'T PASS UP. Here it is!  A 256x256, black and white, silent film themed, sci-fi game! Here's how I addressed all the requirements: The resolution size: My first thought with this UFO game was that a resolution with a very short length but double the height (say, 128x256) would be perfect. It would allow players to see their ship and see the town below, but the visibility limits to the left and right would add a bit of challenge to navigating the map and finding targets. One game should last five minutes: As you play, time advances from night to day, and the sky gets brighter. Once the sun comes up, it's time to stop terrorizing the town. No sound should be used: First thing I thought of when reading that was SILENT MOVIE! A silent, black and white, b-rate, sci-fi movie! It's perfect. So, in a way, I cheated, because my game DOES have sound effects; they're all just in the form of text! Yes, occasionally, when you harass the townsfolk, one of those old-fashioned speech frames will appear. Also, to make the game look more film shaped, I switched the resolution to a simple 256x256. END. |
