Docoto Defense - DonationCoder.com Game in Development

(1/11) > >>

Deozaan:
Some of you may have heard of the $10,000 Game Contest put on by the good folks at MyDreamRPG. For those that haven't, or that forgot about it, let me summarize a few of the details:


* Start Date: 4/1/2007
* Contest End Date: Midnight EST on April 31st, 2008.
* 1st Prize: $10,000
* Technology must be based on one of these GarageGames Torque engines (TGB, TGE, TGEA, TorqueX), and can include other Content Packs made by 3rd parties
* Contest Points List
I'm here to announce that I officially entered a game tentatively titled Docoto Defense into the contest on May 21st. Docoto Defense is an amalgamation of the words DonationCoder Tower Defense. So what does this all mean? It means that the DonationCoder.com Games Division is working on a Tower Defense style game that, to be a valid entrant in the game contest, will be finished and ready for release by May 2008 at the latest!

This game is going to be unique from other TD games because it will feature single player quest modes, multiplayer (cooperative and competitive modes), have both defensive and offensive elements, and will focus on user created content. People will be able to create their own levels, maps, units, etc., customizing many features of the game.

Mouser is very involved in helping to design the game and Nudone has agreed to help out with some artwork, but I'd like to make a request to the DonationCoder community for more support. I could especially use the help of those with artistic abilities, musical/sound effect abilities, and website design. Even if you don't have those abilities or don't have the time to help out you can still contribute with one of the fundamental ideas behind this entire community: Donations.

The game is still in the early design stages, so I'm sorry to say I don't have more cool screen captures to show off, but you can follow the game's progress at the Development Blog.

mouser:
I am soooo excited about this game i can hardly sit still..  I hope we get a lot of participation, testing, suggestions, from members on the site  :-* :-* :-* :-*

f0dder:
I wish I was creative - the best I can do is cheer a bit, and perhaps drink a beer for moral support :)

So this was the extramegasuper secret DonationCoder game... or you have another one under wraps.

Artistic abilities? Nah. Musical/sound effects abilities? Nah (unless you're talking about constructive criticism). Website design? Nah, but I know how to use Composer. Donations? Probably... I could be a tester if you need one, though.

Testers are not yet needed, but I will be sure to let everyone here know when they are. In that regard, I'll let you folks know about some of the specific needs as they arise. If you'd like to be a little proactive, please read the Points List to see how the contest judges the game and maybe you'll find an area or two that you can help out with.

Right now the blog could be improved with a better theme. If you have skill customizing WordPress themes or just know of some good ones that are already out there, I'd be happy to hear from you.
