B-Game Competition: Two Weeks Left!

Posted by Derek Yu Fri, 31 Aug 2007 23:59:00 GMT


A video explaining the game mechanics behind “Hermies,” jazzuo’s entry to the B-Game Competition!


The B-Game Competition has been a resounding success so far. All the entries look amazing and we’re having “tons o’ fun” on the forums. (Yes, I’m trying to make you feel silly for not having signed up yet! Why haven’t you!)

One thing I’ve been really happy about is how differently people have interpreted the theme and yet they’re still staying true to the basic concept behind “B-Games.” The entries run the gamut, from action games, to text adventures, to… Petri Purho’s word processing simulator which requires the use of a microphone?!

So you know how in Dead Rising, when you take photos, it tells you the genre? EROTICA! DRAMA! BRUTALITY! OUTTAKES! Yeah, we got ALL that, baby.

Even jazzuo, who’s amazing Sexy Hiking inspired the competition, is now getting in on the act (see the above video)!

This is your official reminder that there are exactly two weeks left to submit your game. I also wanted to let you guys know that I putting up an awesome “Making Of Grindhouse” book and a CD version of MDickie’s latest masterpiece, Reach, as the prizes for first place!

    You should probably know that the way he talks in that movie is actually a spoof of some YouTube movie where a guy from The Netherlands uses the same phrases and accents, looking for gay sex.

    oh, that’s good Sciere. i thought he was retarded or something. but that games looks absolutely wonderful, and i love the way the music drowned out his voice.

    Amazingly, the recently announced ‘Space Phallus’ has nothing to do with this contest.

    Looks like we’re going to have a hell of a lot of fun in two weeks. ACCELEMATRIX sounds fast. REAL fast.

    that game was disturbing lol…

  8. Average Higgins said about 11 hours later:

    I feel so dirty after watching that video!

    And this is changing the subject, but I am not going to complain about how my game just called “Dump Jumper!” Because that would obligate me to finish it.

  9. Melly said about 13 hours later:

    Okay, now I gotta get started on actually making this thing work out. :P Though, considering my schedule, It’s not totally certain that I’ll finish all the stuff I want for it, but I will post it even if it’s a buggy, unfinished mess. Hey, I might get extra points for that.

  10. Stwelin said about 16 hours later:

    I was laughing HYSTERICALLY throughout that entire video, jazzuo’s voice sounds exactly like i expected it would, like a perverted old frenchman who rapes schoolboys for a living.

    I wish I had a magical blue ass.
