The theme of the competition is: Action + Against The World The current deadline is: June 1st RULES: All games created must be created with Gamemaker 5.0 or higher. All entries must be posted in this forum ("Competitions -> Comp05"). All entries must be in before the deadline. You are allowed enter with more than one game. You are allowed enter in a team. Please give credit to those that help you...it's only fair GUIDELINES: You should have a few situations where the player is alone against a large number of enemies. The game doesn't have to be action-packed, but should include a few exciting, fast paced situations, where the player is put under pressure. Games should focus equally on action and against the world. But above all, enjoy it and be creative! If you have any questions or discussions about the competition, post here ~Grabeorama Edited by Grabeorama, Apr 4 2009, 12:21 PM.

2time_Competition_Winner Posts: 2,217 Group: Competition Winner Member #14 Joined: October 25, 2008	thats long enough, don't make it a big game... also, I don't like the idea of you saying 'The theme is quite vague so you can make almost anything' Try to make it not 'vague' but adding strict rules, like: There must be a large group of enemies against the player(s) + The Player must be in a situation where they must fight multiple enemies at one time + The game must feature some type of violence and weapons Something like that... I just don't like vague themes

2time_Competition_Winner Posts: 2,217 Group: Competition Winner Member #14 Joined: October 25, 2008	Can you add those rules, or something like them so there are actually outlines though... They are not vague at all and they have to do with the theme (I didn't want to do Against the World either, I liked Multiplayer and Technology)

Game Maker, Sprite Helper Posts: 1,295 Group: Members Member #16 Joined: November 28, 2008	I would have to disagree. if you make rules like that the games will be very similar to each other and as a judger "Grabe" he will become bored of playing the same type of games. making it vague is better to me because peoples entries will be significantly different than other.

2time_Competition_Winner Posts: 2,217 Group: Competition Winner Member #14 Joined: October 25, 2008	I'm sorry but you've missed the point completely of having a theme(s) for the competition; everybodies games are supposed to be similar Just because each game entered has to have a player that fights multiple enemies at once and features violence, they are not going to be exactly the same game (exaggeration) also I doubt that the games are going to be similar anyway, for starters your game is a top down shooter with zombies, mine is going to be a platformer with a banana as a main character, anyway, how is it possible for Grabe to get bored of playing a couple of games that he only has to play once in his life...

2time_Competition_Winner Posts: 2,217 Group: Competition Winner Member #14 Joined: October 25, 2008	but back on topic, is anyone going to make a game WITHOUT some sort of violence and weapons, and/or DOESN'T involve fighting multiple enemies at one time?

Game maker, head baker Posts: 1,896 Group: Local Moderator Member #6 Joined: September 5, 2008	I don't think so... It would be hard to do something like that... But you could do a high speed racing game where noone is helping you, you're against the world!

2time_Competition_Winner Posts: 2,217 Group: Competition Winner Member #14 Joined: October 25, 2008	I don't think that racing really counts as an action game... (well unless its really action racing, with dangerous vehicles and tracks and stuff...) By the theme 'action' what are people doing to make it an action game... hopefully people are thinking of the action genre... because literally everything which is a verb is an action.. so basically we may as well just keep it to one theme because then every game could be proven to be an action game, for example, plucking flowers... ??? the action is plucking... When I think of an action game... there needs to be some sort of violence, does anyone agree? I know Robert is doing a shoot 'em zombie game

I could just the game being resolved when the zombies stop killing you and start drinking tea and stuff like that...
