LÖVEFEST IIII: Return of the Revenge of the Fest

[Stelpa]

In my opinion, two weeks is fine because we don't need to submit finished projects.
What i intend to submit tonight is merely a prototype, won't be playable. My plan was to finish my game after, simply

On the other hand, with two weeks more, i should be able to make a playable prototype (even an excruciatingly simple one).
Simple logic : with more time, you can work more...

But i camp on what i said, i still think two weeks is fine.

The problem isn't that the games won't be finished, it's that there won't be enough participants for an interesting/successful vote. It seems like the longer the deadline, the more time people will have to consider joining.

As a sidenote, I am very happy that you have worked on your submission, I was afraid I'd be the only one to submit

Works submitted need not be full-fledged games; prototypes, toys, and experiments are very much welcome.

Maybe this should be more of a rule than a suggestion, to force people to not worry about intricate menu/scoring/stability systems - or even explicitly say "no scoring / menus" and "MUST INCLUDE BUGS OR EXPLOITS".

I haven't been on the forums in aaages, would have entered if I'd seen this topic earlier :/ (may still enter)

I love that idea! Making LÖVEFEST based on rapid prototyping would be a good way to focus it and get other people to join it who wouldn't otherwise... I think I will probably change next fest's description to explain that further. However, requiring code to be buggy may be *a bit* much, but I'm sure that will be the result regardless xD

Also, at this point I am thinking that expanding the deadline another week won't hurt. We'll see if that's enough

The new deadline for submissions is 8:00:00 pm PST | Friday, March 1, 2013. The topic has been changed to reflect this, happy prototyping everyone

Here is my entry :

Title: Yggdrasil TD (growing prototype)

Description: It is the basic framework for a future tower defense game. It contains object oriented elements, have a simple menu where you can only leave and launch the growing model a the tree.

Pitch :
The mighty Yggdrasil is the tree of everything, the bringer of life, the one passage to paradise and ... the source of eternal youth.
No wonder why, once its location discovered everyone wanted a piece...
You incarnate the spirit of the Yggdrasil tree, and you will control what grows where.
The tree begins small, with only a few spot to put fruits to defend yourself and will grow over time. You lose when the bark is no more and the foes can access to the core of the tree.

I used git to sinc my work : https://github.com/pakoskyfrog/YggdrasilTD
i attached to this entry the .love, the readme and towers.txt (only useful for the next development of the game)

Screens :
Early stage
Refined model
Better drawing A
Better drawing B (older)

Hahaha... very fun to expend the dead line while i'm posting my entry...
Well, if i can, i'll use this added week to make it sort of playable, or at least interactive.

[Stelpa]

Wow, VERY cool, and great concept!!! It goes with the theme very well IMO Sorry for the unexpected extension, but personally I can't wait to see what you can do to it in the next week

Just to clarify in case anyone thought otherwise, you may update/revise/alter submission as much as you want, until the submission time is up. The submissions will be voted on as-is at the time of the voting period's beginning.

I won't be submitting my project until later, it still needs quite a bit of work before it will be semi-interesting :p

Again, great and ambitious work so far, keep it up!

Title:

fishtank

Description:

Welp, this is embarrassing!

My submission is... not even near complete. In fact, it is hardly a prototype, but perhaps I can flesh it out someday. It is a teeny little aquarium simulator, where little triangular fishies swim/bounce around and eat/breed. That's, uh, that's pretty much it at this point, lol. Maybe at some point I could add more abstract shape species (jellyfish, plankton, and bottomfeeders would be neat) and give it WAY more user interaction (a la 'feeding frenzy'?)

Vanilla, V 0.8.0. It's the attatched .love file, huzzah! Press space to spawn a school of 10 lil fishies. Don't spam it too much, fishies eat up memory just like they eat up other fishies Also of note is that each fish has their own individual growth limit, which keeps them from becoming the colossal Megafish/Cthulhu


Anyways, I hope it at least amused you for a few seconds, I think the fishies are pretty cute myself, hehe

Hey! I was waiting a bit more to see if a few submissions were just taking a little extra, but I guess this is it, another fest with only two submissions, bleh >.<

I'd be alright with waiting longer if anyone else is interested in submitting, or if pakoskyfrog is still going to update their submission, so if so, let me know please

[Stelpa]

*poke*

If I don't hear anything soon I will start the voting...

[pakoskyfrog]

Hellö !

I will leave my entry as is.
I've encounter a major conception issue to continue the development of my game and i have to rethink entirely the growing model. One of the problem is... "Where the hell can i put my 'towers' with all these overlapping ???"

Looking forward the next Lövefest !
