I think I may try to take part in the task this time, I only narrowly missed LD18 after I came across a screenlapse of it on reddit.com. What I seen was pretty cool and I’ve been waiting to take part ever since. I’m hoping for a good theme this time, hopefully something that is imaginative enough to allow us to create some great games and broad enough to allow for lots of game diversity. In terms of skills I’m sort of just a beginner with art and sounds but consider myself good at using game maker. Hopefully an imaginative idea will make up for my lack of experience in this area.

Hey everyone, hope Xmas and New Years is going well. I’ve got a great idea for a future challenge if you want something to during the January blues. OK here goes, how about we do a weekend challenge where the theme is ‘Finish Each Others Games’. The basic idea is that you take an existing game, it can be incomplete or complete, retrieve the source code and add your own elements/levels/art to it. The aim is to improve the game in any way you see fit. The end result should be a mass completion of unfinished games and vast improvement on already finished ones.

RULES

• You need to declare the source code you’re working from before starting so we can see the difference in the initial and finished games
• You can use your own source code from a past game if you want
• Team entries are allowed
• Many different participant/teams can work off one source code if they want
• Once finished at the end of the week we will vote for the best game.
