Oh yeah couple more things

cos i cant be arsed to edit them into the main post:

1. the rules are optional. stick to them if you want but it doesnt matter. that said -
2. there is *one* rule i would like you guys to stick to. if two different people want to continue the same game, then that is fine. however, it can only be the two people. no more. oh, and to avoid it getting confusing, when you post it, add "( edition)". thanks.
3. you can post your unfinished games now, however, you may not start work on the game until it is december.
4. the reason why it's during december is because
a) im busy for the entirety of november (nanowrimo)
and
b) well, it wouldnt be the apocalypse game-a-thon without some kind of stupid urban legend thing mixed into it so yeah, why not have the 2012 urban legend in there.
5. i love you all

I may have to spend part of November making an unfinished game. I don't think I've got anything far enough along to be worth putting up for the event.

I love this idea. If someone puts something up in Game Maker, I'll definitely take a stab.

And I take no pleasure in admitting this: this WILL bug me for the rest of the month.

1000 B.C.: A Space Idiocity
Plan on remaking this some day

Yep, it's the thing I used in the diagrams. This one was gonna be done during the 2SPOOKY kotm but that ended up not happening because YAY DISTRACTIONS.

The basic premise is that you are the "GOOD-GUY GANGSTER" and you FIGHT CRIME INSTEAD OF CAUSE IT. One day, ELVIS (Impersonator) and GOOD-GUY GANGSTER were in a TENNIS COURT one day and ELVIS (Impersonator) suddenly took off in the middle of the game with OLD WOMAN'S MONEY. You, as the GOOD-GUY GANGSTER, must find the ELVIS man and FIGHT HIM TO THE DEATH by CLIMBING HIS EVIL TOWER.

or, you know, you could just take the first few frames i have and continue from there with whatever story you like :3

I made a game called GRUGGEN.. I had no idea what I was going for, the beginnings of frame 1, i think I sdaved it.. then I was about to have a battle between the bed and the hamburger, they throw eachother at eachother, but I didn't save that part.. and Dropped knp for a month till picking it up again because it seemed right.

So yes here it is... GRUGGEN.. and frame 1 is called teaching osmond.. i don't know or remember why.

Found this old .gam file on my hard drive if anyone wants to take it up. It's a buggy, single level stealth platform game with bizarre level design (laser turrets covering most of the walls, all of which fire horizontally when you get caught) and inexplicably themed as a potato-centric parody of Perfect Dark. It's made in The Games Factory 1, so no KNP compatibility, but it seems to import fine in MMF2/TGF2.

Controls: Arrows move/duck/climb. Shift jumps. Space interacts with keycards/doors/switches.

Here's an old game I was working on in TGF1 at age... 12 I think? Basically I was inspired by the Java port I found of a game called "Sqrxz", which was a horizontally scrolling platform game involving puzzles with devious traps. (screenshot)

I wanted to make something sort of like Sqrxz except with a different theme. The result was Super Dot, a game where you played as a sentient gumdrop trying to make its way through an evil candy carnival of sorts, thwarting the evil gumdrops or something.

The game included gimmicks such as disappearing blocks, launch pads, and moving platforms. It also had four types of evil gumdrops: red gumdrops which were like goombas, green gumdrops that killed from all sides, blue gumdrops that bounced you really high, and purple gumdrops that were like green ones except they could bounce on the launch pads.

There's a tutorial level and then three main levels, the third one being about half-finished. Feel free to at least finish that one level and tack on an ending, but it would also be cool to see some totally new levels as well, perhaps introducing new gimmicks.

(Yes I named the game file "Mooey Cow.gam")

And because I have so many more unfinished games, heres a second one for you. It was made in GM 6.1 (with gml). The idea for "kawaii reaper" was (as far as I can recall), that the player stumbles upon a small plastic box with a switch, and turns it on. Then the box flies into the air and starts bullet-helling kittens and weird toys onto the player. Japanese SHMUP-style, only that the player walks on platforms.
There are two images, which were designed as sprites for the "device". I have no idea what the japanese sings on them mean! I made them with google translate... any ideas?

You need the pro-version, because I'm rotating almost all of the sprites... stupid lite-restrictions! (If you don't have pro, GM6.1 only needed an activation key and there are plenty of them in the webz. I never told you that. I was never here.)

EDIT: added an executable and extracted all the sprites, so you don't need GM anymore.

Corruption is a game I made for Sergio's Corruption Competition on the Niffboards. It's your run-of-the-mill turn-off-the-machine story... but with a twist!! Can you help Juni save Puddleberg? I had a big plot planned out for this game and everything, but I forgot most of it, so just do whatever you want with it.

Tilesets used are Swamp Things by Sergio Cornaga, Frozen Swamp Things by Sergio and Paula (Girl from Mars), Underwater Ruins by Zenth, The Lost Cave by Imaddo, and Dr. Wood's Lab by Egomassive and Headgrinder; all the rest are by Nifflas. The two drumming tracks are by Sergio again. Have fun!

Anyone have a Flash or Twine or whatever else that would work on a Mac unfinished game? I want to participate (and I have a few shareable unfinished games as well), but I'm too lazy to boot into Windows to work on this. :(

Here's a game I started on in 2009, when I played a lot of Sin & Punishment and wanted to make a top-down shooter but where you couldn't shoot bullets, you can only reflect them. I was going to have the player go room-to-room doing this (modeled after Legend of Zelda NES dungeons) and incorporate maybe some puzzles or something, but what I have here looks more like Space Invaders, which is also ok. In truth, I don't remember everything I wanted for this one.

This is in Game Maker 8.1. Maybe someone out there has it? The Lite version should probably be able to handle it. Actually, this is a slightly updated version. I'll attach a gmk that was made with... 7 I think, that has less stuff in it.

It's a very small template to work from, but the key mechanic is here. All the graphics are placeholders, clearly, there's no sound, limited interface, and so on. Background came from GIS. If you take this up, I encourage you to take it in the craziest direction you're inclined to and give it a total makeover. Take it wherever your heart wants to, if your heart wants to do anything with it at all. I'd love to see where this might go.

This event prompted me to look through my KNP games folder. Some of the things there I don't even remember making, and I was positively impressed by one of those (32x), and will probably try and finish it. A few of the games seem like there's enough there to build something on, so I'll post them as replies to this comment.

I've downloaded the KNP games already posted, and am looking forward to fucking round with them.

Another one that's kinda involved. I actually made this because I thought it'd be amusing to program these blobs that react to the movement of the mouse, and then tried to make a game out of it, but failed. It's kinda pretty to look at but not much else. There's a supposed scoring system in there maybe? The game plays like so: you have to clear the screen of the blobs by clicking on them, but to do so you're forced to click on more than one simultaneously, because each click creates one new blob. Anyway, if you like, grab this and make something cool with it?

Not entirely sure where I wanted to go with this. It's mostly just a trippy thing. I guess I wanted to display text that faded in instead of those numbers; other than that, not sure.

From August 2012, made with AS3 and FlashPunk.

You have to bounce the spiders into a sleeping Terry Cavanagh's orifices.

Couldn't work out what the actual gameplay should be. Score attack? Time limited? And not sure if the current one-button controls work.

Additional potential orifices: eyes, ears, hair (okay not technically an orifice but I'm sure the spiders would be very happy to live there)

Wanted the ending to be a bunch of baby spiders all swarming down from the web above onto his face, covering him entirely in swarming blackness. Then his eye opens, he screams, and they all swarm into his mouth. Alternative similarly-horrific endings accepted.

Wanted there to be a physics-y web above him that the spiders come from, which would move as the player's bouncing tugs at it, which in turn would shake the strands from the previous spiders. Not important.

Flixel (AS3) action game prototype. It uses an old version of both Flixel (included) and the Ogmo Editor (.oep file included). Here are five levels, and an epilogue of sorts. It's mostly missing sounds, sprites for the enemies that aren't exactly the player sprite, and whatever else you'd want to add.

Current version: http://noyb.retroremakes.com/Games/Timequake.swf

Arrows move. C draws/holsters gun. X shoots when your gun is out. You can't walk while crouched or aiming.

Spoilers/Intentions (feel free to disregard): I meant this to be a Max Payne parody, where the gung-ho detective finds out that all of the guards he was slaughtering were just innocent people, as he's made to relive the game over again. It's a similar conceit to what nobody's These Automatic Arms ended up doing independently. But the plot grew too large in my mind (wanting long cutscenes establishing motivation, a second epilogue where you play as a never-implemented end boss, hearing the slaughter going on in real time based on the saved replay data, etc.) and I ended up not doing a damn thing more than you see here.

curious...

does somthing like this qualify for the competition?
http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/4695

wat say?

I did not start the program I just improved it
the creator did not suspect a trainwreck...

no objections to the program design then?

wat say?

This one is named after a song by The Who! It was made for Purple Pineapple's "Motion" Competition. In it Juni must go home to her family for some reason I have forgotten. I'm not real happy with the ship section (for one, I think it's technically possible, though unlikely, to be passed without double jump; for two, it's pretty tedious), so feel free to change that if you want to.

Tilesets are by Egomassive, Arcturus, Imaddo, Nifflas, AlmightyZenTaco, Firecat, Ripen, and Lingon.

It begins (again)! Complete them fucking games yo.
