Blender Game Making Challenge

THE CHALLENGE: The blender game making challenge is pretty simple. Make a complete game, using the blender game engine, start and finish, in a week. The official start is Sunday the 17th, 12:01 AM and it ends Saturday the 23rd at midnight. The challenge is a competition amongst your peers, but also a challenge to yourself, to push your planning, game making, and polishing skills out of your normal comfort zone. This is how we improve. THE THEME: It’s easy to make a game using the full force of your modern computer, but it’s harder when you must develop for a specific platform/console. This game making challenge will revolve around hardware requirements and resource allocation for one of the first consoles capable of 3d: the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. This way you may not be fully able to rely on amazing graphics and HD modeling to make your game good (prove me wrong) so your game might have to rely on solid gameplay mechanics instead. Here are the slightly modifie...

You might notice some weird looking stuff on the blog in the next few days, don't worry its just me messing with the design. Josip Kladaric

Hey, all, Joystik Studios with an update to the challenge. The theme has been announced! Here it is: Olympic Sports! With the winter Olympics recently over in Socii, Russia, I decided to have you guys make game themed off of those sports. This would also include summer Olympic sports. Here are the rules: You have to choose one sport from this list  to make a game of. It can be from the Summer or Winter category. You may only use resources that you have created during the week you have to make your game, except for pre-written python scripts. Any resources from the Game Engine Resources section are alright, too. You must announce where you got your pre-made resources if you used any, so that others can use them too. The only exception to this is this basemesh , because I know what a pain character modeling is. There is another link on the page to a female version if you like. They are low-poly and game ready. The reason I chose this theme is because of how hard physics are in ...

Hey, all! This is Joystik Studios, the winner of the last BGMC, and I will be organizing this one. The challenge will be held on the 10th of March, 2014. The theme will be announced the day before the challenge. For those of you who are new to this challenge, the BGMC is the Blender Game Making Challenge, a week long challenge where Blender users make a game based off the theme. The winners are chosen by a judging panel and prizes are distributed to the winners. The judges consist of, do far, 3 people. Myself, Thatimster, and a SixGunBen, who is not on Blenderartists or anything as of yet. Now, I've got my own reasons why I chose these judges. First, we have Thatimster, who is pretty self-explanatory. I mean, come on, it's Thatimster! I'm pretty self-explanatory, too. SixGunBen is a Blender user but is not an avid game developer, however, he is an extreme gamer. This will give him some extra insight into how good gameplay and graphics are and such. Sinan, another game d...

Download Fish Rated : 8.5/10 The goal of Fish Fortune is to collect as many gems and coins as possible while not getting eaten or hurt by the red fish, jellyfish, or sea urchins.

Download Bako and the spirit of rain souce file - Download Bako and the spirit of rain -  wip thread  - Rated : 8.4/10 The goal for now is to collect 15 cloud scattered on the ground and back to the village to irrigate fields (the end is unfortunately bugged). -You can use the horse to go faster (too buggy after the first use). -There just has a lion in the square (not able to put more), you can kill him. -The animation of the horse and the panther was not accomplished due to time constraints. -There is no sound effect for the character or other entity. -Quick tip: the ground is a little large but you will find the cloud where there has rock and foliage. ________________________________________________________ \\\I don't Made/// 2D Filters By Martinsh And other script.

Download The Island - wip thread  Rated : 5/10 I`m making a game where you have to stay as long high as possible. To do this, you have to find and eat mushrooms. Could you please try it and report any bugs? You can walk on a lonely island and enjoy the nature. No Mushrooms or something like that. Thank you, Raphael

Download Kroker - wip thread Rated : 0/10 So I have finished my game, haven't made so much update here because I got school and I had to work with the project. This game is about Kroker, the character you play who is running the farm, there isn't tons of futures but the futures I have finished is well programed and well builded with a lot of nodes (about 100-300 nodes i'm not sure) and also some scripts. The genre is nature and simulation. You can buy seeds and plant them at a field. When they have growth can you press H and harvest them You can pick up an axe and chop wood. You can buy nails. When you have enough money, wood and nails so can you buy a new warehouse and a tractor. There are some well worked textures, I really succeeded with the grass after I baked the AO and the SH so I actually could compare it with grass texture in the cryengine engine, and it wasn't much difference between the quality in real time all the buildings are UV mapped. The...

Download Spring - Download Spring Source Files Rated : 7.0/10 You are a butterfly that brings spring to a winter landscape, melting snow and bringing life to the forest. The point of this game is to try and melt all the snow/ice. The enemy will be one snow owl that is trying to eat you however due to time constraints i will not be able to add this in. Instead the snow will have a time limit in which it can regenerate

Download Gene Machine  - wip thread Rated : 4.8/10 Name: Gene Machine (Working title) Style: Top down 2.5D free swimming Setting: Inside the human uterus. I took a different look on the concept of "nature" for this and asked what is more natural than reproduction? Gene Machine sees the player guiding a single sperm cell via LEFT and RIGHT arrows to control swimming and forward momentum in order to seek out and fertilize the ova. The play area will have other sperm (if I can work out some AI) who are racing against the player, enzymes that will attack, as well as damage from the boundary and just existing in the environment. (It is a race against your health meter and conserving energy for swimming / drill-attacking) The ova will be randomly spawned from either side of the fallopian tubes without the player knowing which way to go and will slowly drift down into the uterus. Also I am thinking of having a randomly spawned IUD that will occasionally wipe out all t...

Download Petal Plucker -   wip thread Rated : 8.83/10 Pluck the petals from the flowers. You play versus the computer and try to be the one to pluck the last petal. The player and the computer will take turns picking petals, and you only have a certain amount of plucks at a time, so use strategy!

Download Turf War - wip thread Rated : 4.0/10 The game is now playable! I'd call it more of an alpha, but the general idea is there. It's basically a collection of crazy sandboxes that (mostly) play themselves. What are you waiting for??!? Download!!!! Note: Be sure to extract the zip before playing

Download - Optimized version - wip thread Rated : 8.0/10 You play as an ent. One day, some humans arrive at your beloved forest and start cutting trees with robots and stuff. The goal is to smash them and destruct the tower they built. Almost all textures come from cgtextures.com, so you can't use them without viewing their license first at their site. I used blender 2.67b.

Download NIghtfall - wip thread Rated : 5.25/10 OK, so hopefully this'll be a pretty basic survival game in which you have to find food and protection from ravenous wolves to survive. A classic tale of man vs nature. So far I have got a HUD with a health bar and stamina/vitality bar (this is slowly depleting as you get hungry and can be refilled by eating and drinking-when the stamina bar is fully depleted, health takes a large hit and starts decreasing), and I've finished the basic terrain mesh and have started adding some forests.
