Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2008 11:19 pm Post subject: Idea for Ohrrpgce Games Video |
|
|
I'm currently creating this video:
http://vimeo.com/1809372
The idea is to take 100 good Game Maker (that's the engine I use now) games and arrange them in a 10 minute long video, with 6 seconds each. I've got 66 out of 100 Game Maker games so far and am adding them at around 10 a day.
I may do an Ohrrpgce one after the Game Maker one, just for fun and to show off the games the Ohrrpgce has made. So, recommend games that should go on that. They don't necessarily have to be the "best" 100 Ohrrpgce games, other factors are also important: memorability, interest value, importance to the community's history, and unique visual style.
Also if anyone has any Ohrrpgce music (that's music created for an Ohrrpgce game) that I could use for this video, let me know (preferably with a link to the mp3 or ogg file). _________________ Tower Defense Game |

Whatever you do, don't include joke games like Arfenhouse. I personally hate the series, but I know a lot of people think highly of it and I can see why they might think of it for inclusion, but absent context the crappy graphics are just going to make everything look like shit.
Some more ideas:
Sword of Jade
Trailblazers
Timpoline
Sheep Rancher
Since OHR is designed for a specific genre of game, rather than just being general like Game Maker, it'd be easy to include a bunch of games that look nearly the same (especially when the viewer only has 6 seconds to differentiate them). Be careful of that. Make sure to emphasize games that don't use the default engine and games with a really unique visual style (along with the classics, of course). |

Maybe a page of screenshots/information would be more useful?
Your Game Maker video is good because it shows off fun looking gameplay or funny graphics. I don't think there's enough variety of either in 100 OHR games. Not as a slight to these games, but RPGs generally aren't fun to watch if you're not the one playing them, while action games are. |
I was thinking this same thing. You can have a lot of in-battle pictures that'll all look the same or a lot of walkaboutery that'll look pretty boring. You could mix things up with more visually engaging examples like Trailblazers and Timpoline, but there aren't enough of those. _________________

Add variety by interspersing clips of custom editing the same games that you are showing. |

I like James's idea, but many games are password protected, so that may be unfeasible. _________________ Tower Defense Game |

I regret the password protection feature more each time I think about it |
