[Amigurumi]

15 minutes left.... final spurt!

 

[Pyritie]

Uh no, we still have like 10 hours

Either that or 34 hours I dunno

 

[VergilThazaar]

10 hours, since the day changes at exactly 00:00 am.

... and I believe Amigurumi is talking about his own deadline.

 

[Amigurumi]

yes, you have 10 hours left.
I have to go in 5 minutes D:

[edit]
yeah, my friend makes his party at 4pm now! 1 hour!

 

[Vengeancekael]

Hurry up and stop checking the forums!

 

[Amigurumi]

Bossfight is finished, only working at the last sequence.
I'm not happy with the result, but I finished it...
I'll upload it in some minutes, when I made the last checks.

 

[real138]

woo cant wait to play it testing all these once i come back from being out.

 

[Amigurumi]

map is up in a few seconds... only make the basic the things.

so uploaded... hmm, big filesize, but I don't have time anymore.

so see ya tomorrow guys

 

[Kingz]

What?

Isn't the deadline tomorrow in 00:00?

Seriously people, STOP using 00:00 as the time when a contest ends it is CONFUSING.

EDIT:

Is it 10 hours or 34 hours???

 

[VergilThazaar]

EDIT:

As I mentioned before, the day changes at exactly 00:00 that's why everyone's using that time. 23:59 is Saturday and 00:00 is Sunday. In 5 hours and 24 minutes the contest will conclude.

 

[Kingz]

God that sucks big time...people should just use 23:59...

I hope i won't miss the deadline, gonna map for full 5 hours :3

 

[VergilThazaar]

I've been mapping for 9 hours non-stop 'n still going...

 

[Vengeancekael]

Aww i would've had joined if i knew there was a mapping contest xD Well good luck to the contestants!

 

[syltman]

[Ardnived]

As I said I would, I am submitting my incomplete map. Mostly just for the sake of actually submitting something, and also so that the work goes to some use at least.

I doubt I will finish it off. Especially since I still haven't been able to fix my windows installation

Well anyways here it is.
I used JNGP, I had credits written down but I cannot access them because they are on the windows side of my computer.

 

[VergilThazaar]

- I'm done, although I have many many more ideas for this map not implemented due to the known to all reason, time.

Looks nice..
But I'm stuck already after obtaining 3 "crystals". Could you pm me what to do because I really got the feeling something isn't working right.

 

[Pyritie]

how do I pick up crystals :U

 

[Sephalo]

Yeah the red crystal thingy is a bit weird. I got the feeling that holy churchy sound that occurs when i press it's ability has to do with something but whaat?!

 

[Pyritie]

And who the heck is that wolf guy and why can't I interact with him

Just tested this 10 or 20 times. (; I've written a PM.

You mean Gunpreet? Animals can't speak, dude not even on the meta-level. ;D

spoiler

You have to lure him with something special..

 

[Freyleyes]

Here is my entry, I will post the credits later and a description.

*Please Note - I used JNGPS so it can only be opened with JSNPS and EGUI

 

[Pyritie]

I'm not quite sure what the heck I'm supposed to be doing <___>

Okay so I found the three crystals and stuck them in the red one and can now play more sounds. Now what?

EDIT: Okay I figured it out

Submission

Download now! 13.9mb

So! At long last, here is my submission, with the guts of the content I'd intended for it, and reasonably bug free (based on the testing, anyway). As with any of my maps, it's pretty difficult, but I included hints where my testers were getting stuck, so hopefully that'll ease things up a bit. I am happy to give hints, just PM me, but note that the game can't save/load properly!

For clarification, it's a point-and-click puzzle adventure game, with no combat, and a few dialogue scenes. If my testers are any indication, the total game time is in the region of 2-3 hours (but shorter if you're quick to solve the puzzles, of course).

There are a few things which I didn't have time for, unfortunately; such as skippable dialogue, a more elaborate terrain (though I doubt it'd be on par with the incredible work of some of the other contestants), red herrings (you're probably better off without those ), and a few light glitches due to WarIII's engine.

I was quite pleased to be able to include some video game music remixes, which are very helpfully free to use! If you liked any of the tracks, you can download them free and check out more; just click the links in the credits.

Anyone who reaches the ending will probably find that it doesn't make much sense; but I had to omit a sequence of puzzles before and during the ending due to time constraints. That sequence, I suspect, would have made this game a lot more immersive, and better preceded the ending, but I can manage without. I'd certainly consider returning to this map and adding those additional features, along with some other graphical and dialogue touch-ups. I'll also add credits to the map itself at some point.

This map is unprotected (as of 1.04, in compliance with contest rules) and was made using JNGP.

Hey Syleona,

Could you make your list of entries on the first page into hyperlinks so we can all download the maps from one place?

Cheers,

okay so I made it past the shadowy bit in the vibration temple, but now what :0

You have to stalk around a bit. There are two different ways. Just follow the energy-streams. There's an orange one with an energized core and a green one - it's corrupted. Just click on the crystal. (;
