Hey guys,

I've just received my Dream, Build, Play coupons for finishing 3rd place with Little Gamers, and I would like to give back to the awesome XNA community.

So I'm giving away 3 free Creators Club "4 month membership" coupons (it's a 25 letter code to redeem on your XBOX360).
As I don't want to give them away "first come first served" or randomly, I will choose 3 people with interesting game projects to port from Windows to XBOX360.

To be eligible for the offering you just have to:

• Not currently own a Creators Club membership
• Be working on a XNA Windows game (even if you are just starting)
• Show me some screenshots or videos of your game, even if it's a draft concept
• Explain the concept of your game

This is not a contest, it's completely arbitrary...

If I like your stuff I will message you your free 4 month Creators Club! No deadlines, just reply in that topic :)

I will still have some coupons left so I'll probably make the same kind of topic again in a few weeks...

More Gameplay!

Concept: Open-Source Music-Rhythm Game designed to support pure XNA (some additional libs for other audio types in Win32 version). Made for community content, easily extensible.

Nice game Fortis :)

I'm still waiting for additional replies before I can make my choice.

I am hoping to whip my game into the state where it does something vaguely interesting shortly.

(I have been writing squad based route finding code for what feels like ever)

Currently it is a series of circles moving around, but hopefully it will give an idea of what I want to achieve...

Will try to upload a demo asap. (If I was lucky enough to win the Epsicode challenge, I wouldn't crack open the creators club licence for a while, whilst I move the game further forward.)

J.

Oohh, shiny! And I even qualify..I like this.

So screen shots of my game can be found at my blog, although the screenshots are a week or so out of date.   It has a shiny demo movie from last week though which can be found here: http://www.xzord.net/streklin/PrototypeMoveWideScreen.wmv .  Hopefully if in fact anyone is ever going to be interested, I'll have a version with enough features to show off a pre-alpha playable demo by next week.

Hmm, need to explain the concept:

The concept is pretty simple - A small super high tech space aged version of the Mars Rover is sent out to find a new planet for habitation  Thinking it found a nice, safe, unhabited planet, it lands and begins looking around.  Unfortunately - the planet is equiped with a mysterious automated defense system which begins building robots to attack you right away (cause there needs to be an excuse for explosions).  Now, defenseless on your own, you must build your own robots and send them out in your defense (or offense even!) all while trying to complete your survey mission! (Missions will be things like kill 100 enemy robots, collect 10 "bio-samples", survie x amount of time, build x field structures, etc).

Anyway, that's a brief outline of the idea anyway.

Congratulations for your initiative, Epsicode!

Make sure you give them to worthy projects :)

I'm planning on buying an XBox and converting the Evil Aliens for when the new peer review process thingy hits!

Ok here we go.

 

My project is codenamed PROJECT: COLD SILENCE and is going to be an old school top-down jRPG with hi-res graphics. I’m currently in the early developing phase. It’s going to be a modern espionage setting.

 

Here’s a sum-up of what I want to do with the Story Mode:

• Top-Down City Map.
• Isometric Battle-Map.
• 4 Players local coop multiplayer.
• 8 Players online coop multiplayer.
• Personalized character creation with multiple classes and factions.
• Turn based combat system.
• Infiltration System.
• Chase System.

 

Here’s a sum-up of what I want to do with the H2H Mode:

• Up to 32 players online Team battles.
• Up to 8 players on and offline Stealth missions like capture the flag and assault.
• Straight-up PvP arenas.

 

The story as already been written and from each of the 8 playable factions POV.

I was planning to do episodic content, but apparently that won’t be a possibility with XNA so I’ll try to either get as much of what was planned into the game or find a way to transfer the characters over to a new game with the new episodes.

 

Once everything is done and working, I’m planning on releasing the engine for everyone who wants to make a RPG and build upon the engine and maybe even bring it to 3D graphics.

 

BTW, totally off-topic, Little Gamers rocked my world!!!! My girlfriend was laughing at how much I was getting crazy and just having plain fun with that game!! Please don't take my comment into consideration for your contest ;P I'm not that big of a suck-up!

Catch XXII Games is broke.

But we are making great progress on a 3d game which gameplay and art assets are developing nicely, but are still guarded, and will likely be so until the game is in an open testing phase, 3 weeks we hope.

I can email you some .jpegs of some of our models or perhaps a very short video of some gameplay, but even though we are broke, we hardly feel giving our game idea away at this point is worth $49!

We'd love you forever though if you hooked us up...

(also kyle@catchxxiigames.com, but I'm moving to a asp.net host as we speak and I dont want to miss anymore emails than I have to.)

I'm working on an asteroids game.  Started with the demo and decided to turn it into a full fledged game.  Has scripting, menus, power-ups, shields, 4-player support etc.  I'll PM ya some screenshots this weekend.

This is a space combat game (quite a common theme lately) that will feature several game modes. Models and textures you see here are placeholders for now since I'm still writing the game engine, but I will eventually have some good visuals in there too (my art website is http://www.clintcaywood.com ).

Still in very early production, but I hope to have the first version out by fall.

Already implemented features:

• Fully functional GUI
• Deathmatch
• Team Deathmatch
• Capture the Flag
• Dynamic AI
  
• Rough Net Code
• Powerup system
• Dynamic Lighting system
• Basic physics engine
• Developer tools (for me) like a level exporter
  

To Come:

• Multiple world support
  
• More game modes
• High-quality art assets
• Complete netcode
• HUD
  
• Tons more
  

Hi, the game I am working on is called 'The Collector' i have posted information here.
There are screenshots, videos, and a downloadable demo.
The basic concept is you collect the different colored buttons and deposit them in the matching collectors as fast as you can.
There are 5 game modes, (singleplayer, 4 local multiplayer). Each mode has a slight variation on the general concept.
Each mode has 3 levels of increasing difficulty.
Multiple powerups help add some stratagy to the gameplay.

I have not been able to test any of my new code on my xbox because of a problem I talked about here.
If I can begin testing on the xbox again, I hope to release this game to the community games when that option becomes available.

The game im working on is called Battlefield: The Beginning

 

this game at the moment is under construction but all i have complete is the tilemap Editor

 

 

in this game there will be four clan types, each one of various color.

 

You start out as a recruit in the army in the war of the tanks where your main objective is to get to a general while fighting to survive in the harsh battle grounds. During the fight you receive points for destroying the other clans, but if you kill a tank of your rival clan you receive normal points but you also receive Grudge points, which can be spent in the stores to upgrade your tank into the fighting war machine, Lightning Fast helper, or Massive Storage Tank. The decision is yours.

The game i've created is a game called Cow Tipping, The basic concept is simple Tip over a field of cows as fast as you can. Below is a link to a gameplay video. Right now its more of a demo, however I'd like to add a lot stuff to it (Cows actually walking, multiplayer, multiple levels). I hope you like it.

Hi, nice idea!

I'm working on a game called Blueberry Garden. It's a adventure game that's focused on freedom and storytelling through game play. The puzzles will involve physics and manipulation of the ecosystem in the game world.

Here's a trailer!

Hi Epsicode, heres me ol XNA project
I dont know if you are familiar with Star Control 2  (I would hope so ;)
but basically its a port of SC2 to XNA right now, with some new features to be added later

Star Control 2 XNA

Personally i'd pick the blueberry dude  :) 

I'm closing this contest tomorrow evening (GMT +1), so if you have some secret gameplay stuff that you don't want to be public, e-mail me to loic [-at-] epsicode.net, with your gamertag, and make sure you have posted here before. (hurry up :p)

Well, I'm not hugly into keeping every detail of my game a secret, so I'll just post additional stuff here.  The only thing I wanted to add is that the screenshots can be (ok will be, I'm putting them up now) on the games website: http://probe.tech-hobbyist.com under the screenshots section, along with any other information on the game I can get up.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have a demo of the game ready enough to play by tommorow, (unless people enjoy test levels), so my entry will have to stand on that.

Good luck with the judging :) Lot's of cool game ideas to choose from :)

;_; I only started my game a few days after GDC, so there isn't really anything to show, and probably won't for a few weeks. MY OPPORTUNITY IS LOST!

I'd really say pick blueberry garden though. It looks great. (Plus Kotaku mentioned it, so it MUST be interesting, right?)

• Name of the game
  Megaphone (Now Listen To The Beat)
  

• Brief description
  Good ol’ platformer. Fight zombies, avoid electric fences etc. and collect sound items and power-ups to be rewarded with groovy rhythms and cool sounds. Your goal is to reach the „Golden Bongo“.
  Special graphics should provide a different looking approach and a new gaming experience to the platformer genre.

I'm going to be honest - no one wants your game idea. Everyone here could probably come up with a half-dozen ideas in a matter of minutes. I don't know where this fallacy of "People will steal my idea if I post it on the internet" came from but it's exactly that, a fallacy.

Yes, especially Blueberry Garden. That game looks amazing.
