May Tournament: Night of Horror, an evil plan

[NightOfHorror]

Welcome all who are interested in joining this tournament. You guys decided to pick my evil plan, so here it is. There is no theme at all, just one simple rule. You must turn your game in by 11:59:59 pm central time on the 10th of this month, there will be no exceptions, but listen carefully before you decide not to join. The true deadline is the 21st, you just have to turn in your game by the end of the 10th, it has to be by a pm, and the contents must include a ged, a data folder, and a storyline script if you have one. There is a reason I need this turned in my the end of the 10th. I will grade your games, and then give them back to you on the 12th, and from there, you work on a game for the remainder of the 10 days, so 10 days now, 10 days later. This is a free tourney as stated, do whatever you want, just one more rule: It can't be a game you have been working on, an engine can be used, such as sabre, but that is as far as you can go, everything else must be original, so no working on games that you have been working on.

Now here is the grading rubric:

Theme- x/10- how well does it follow the theme of this tournament? If the theme total is less than an average of five points, you are disqualified.
Originality- x/10- Is this a new game, or is the same one that we always play and see?
Creativity- x/10- Do they use the elements in this game to enhance game-play?
Title- x/10- If you saw the title of this game, would it make you want to read the back? Does it reflect the game? Does it reflect the theme?
effect of the quantity of sound- x/5- Do they fit in with the graphics, story, and overall, sound good?
effect of the quantity of music- x/5- Do they fit in with theme, story, action, and overall, make the tempo of the game?
graphics- x/10- Do they appeal to you, do they fit in with the theme, are they a good fit to the story?
game-play- x/15- Is this something with replay value, is it addicting, is it something that is was worth playing?
overall- x/20- How do you feel about this game as a whole?
Judge Total- x/95- The judge grading this must add up the above total to get one grand Judge Total.
Judge Bonus- x/10- NightOfHorror (The bonus must enhance the game, if you just put it in, but it adds no value to the overall feeling towards the game, then the bonus will not count).

Master Judge Rubric:

Master Total- x/105j- j=number of judges- Master Judge adds up all of Judges' score to get one grand master total.
Master Bonus- x/10j- j=number of judges- Master Judge adds up all of Judges' score to get one grand master bonus total.

If you want to be a judge, say so on this topic, or pm me, or if you see me on chat, you can tell me on there. Judges, do not release scores at all and do not judge until judge week.

Have fun and get started!

I will try to clear this up, by the end of the 10th, I want whatever you have in the form of what I said in the first post, as long as there is some form of work on it, just give it to me. It doesn't matter if you are finished yet.

I can't attend to this, because I'm too busy. But I'd be happy to be a judge.

[NightOfHorror]

[NightOfHorror]

Is anyone by the way thinking about joining this tourney?

Hhmm.....

[knucklecrunchgames]

Is anyone by the way thinking about joining this tourney?

I might if I have spare time ( I'm making my confirmation)

[Hares]

Is anyone by the way thinking about joining this tourney?

I am not just thinking about it, I am actually doing it
Started working on it today.

I don't fully understand your evil plan yet ...

As you didn't set a theme, I will be building a game on the theme from the recent Ludum Dare: Under the surface.

[NightOfHorror]

Can't wait to see your game Hares, and Goettsch and knuckle, I really hope you guys join too, as I am starting to lose faith in my tournaments, and it would be nice to have 3 enter. Of course 4 would be even better! Sadly, I can't join this tournament for a reason.

[CrackedP0t]

I might join, if I get a good idea.

[NightOfHorror]

well there is 4 possible contestants, won't get excited though as of now, 7 days to work on games by the way.

[NightOfHorror]

Correction, well now 6 days, not 7, but when I said 7, I meant til' you need to turn them in for the 11th grade, but then you will get games back, so you have more than the time left til the end of the 10th, just want what you have at that point as stated for the 5 millionth time.

I've had some time the last days to work on the game. What I've got so far is not much, but it already qualifies as an entry. That means I will submit my game for sure before the 10 days deadline.
Anyway, I will still try to work on the game next couple of days.

And I hope there will be some more entries.

But what I am realy anxious about is finding out what the evil plan is ...

[NightOfHorror]

Basically you have a day left, please enter if you can, that is all, a simple reminder.

[Hblade]

I actually have a cool idea for this tournament I think I'll enter!

EDIT: Awe lol times almost up oh well... Maybe I'll enter the next one!
