It's over! The
48-hour-contest has ended and now it's up to us, the community, to decide on the winners!
See most entries on
the ticker site (NOTE: Mercuryus couldn't register for the ticker in time and thus included his ticker in his readme).
Before you vote, please remember: The challenge was to
create a playable game in 48 hours or less that - in one way or another
fit one given theme. Please take into consideration
how well these entries fit the theme (note that there are several ways to interprete them), but of course also
how fun and finished the game actually is.
Because we love you, here is the theme of this contest:
This contest has TWO THEMES to chose from. It's up to you which you chose! Or you could try to combine them (which might be quite the challenge!)
1)
Create a heartwarming game! Christmas is over, but aren't we still all in the mood? Now that we've been bombarded by dozens of christmas-specials and now that we've spent time with our family, it's time to transfer all that into a game! Will it be a bittersweet kind of heartwarming, or will it be the corniest thing ever? Will it include puppies and kittens, or will it be about saving christmas for a little girl? Be creative and focus on characters!2)
Create a psychological horror game! And this isn't too far off christmas either - You did christmas shopping too, right?
In seriousness, your task is to create a game that makes the player feel uncomfortable and makes them think. What kind of world will you let the player explore? Will the player be weak and unable to defend themselves? and what kind of evil shall we overcome? Try not to make it cliche: Something that's NOT about zombies or other standard-horror-creatures would be appreciated (See also this). Or how about an artistic statement? Can you turn mobbing, or other "everyday evils" into true psychological horror?And here are the

A horrific click&point with alot shadows and
a hopefully well thought story with some shocking moments.
s Save me faster...!
this game will be about saving someone(maybe more of them). You'll need to defeat some "monsters" and collect some things and to reach the end of the level and save someone.
The game will be playable in singleplayer and in multiplayer aswell.

Please try all the entries and then come back and vote!Anyone can vote - regardless if you took part in the contest or not. You may also vote for yourself. It is forbidden to ask other people to register on these forums just to vote for your game, and anyone trying to do so will be disqualified. This is not a popularity contest, after all!
In case of a draw, the sponsor of the prize may decide for the winner (or for a way to decide between those two). Thats it, here is the poll!
There is also another question, but that one is only for statistics. The only important question that will decide the winner is: "Which game shall win the contest?".
Voting will end on 04.01.2009.
