Sure thing, AntiAlias! We now have 2 easter egg movies so submissions for movies are now closed.

BUT! 2 game slots are still available!

p.s. what's stw? i don't think b.a. matters to contribute to a collab, it only matters if you're hosting a collab, so you should be fine.

Keep a slot available for me, although I have no B/A, i'll do it, then post it on STW or something. Movie, btw.

Maybe I could make it so that after getting a certain score on a certain game you get my movie and I could make like 9 mini movies.

On second thought and this is to help the collab prosper... I can't I'm waaaay to inexperienced to help and I'm working on a game using tutorials and yeah... so i'm really sorry.

No pic yet. But I have my idea here. It's called "Super Game and Watch World Advanced". It's basically the intro to Super Mario World with game and watch themed stuff.

Can my game objects not move 50 pixels per second? I mean, can I submit this for the collab, but with replacing all the art with G&W sprites? And maybe make the platform controlled by the keyboard?

4urentertainment,

Unfortunately, that doesn't really fit with the collab at all. You'd have to shrink it, make a casing for it, remove the fluidity of movement (G&W had predetermined locations for every sprite, and the movement was stilted).

So it would need a lot of work before it was a Game & Watch. Make sure to go through all the collab rules and look at my 2 game & watch games for examples. There are also tons of info pages on Game & Watch games out there that you can google for more info.

And of course, if you have any questions, you know where to find me :)

Well, I'll just have to replace all the graphics, and make a few editations to the game. Not much. I'll have it done before June 20th.

4urentertainment: That's fine with me! As long as it's convincing as a Game & Watch simulator. For even more examples of other simulators, please check out Madrigal's Handheld Simulators. And remember.. no fluid motion! ;)

SeaDevilKing: Usually, Game B is a bit more difficult than Game A, either by being faster, or having slight modifications to the gameplay. (Basically, they're easy mode and hard mode). Although most Game & Watch type games had this feature, it's certainly not a requirement for this collab.

EteJuano: Although my focus is on games, I'm accepting a couple of movies so you can certainly submit an animation as long as you keep to the sizing limits. I have one free movie spot left (I'm going to have 2 easter egg movies), so if you want it, it's yours!

The deadline is June 30th. Please read over this entire thread for all the rules and details.. they've been updated a couple of times since the original post. :)

Of particular importance is that we're using flash 7 and actionscript 2.

Welcome aboard WhoknowsmeaUdiO!

Glad to have you! Please remember to read the entirety of the thread (if you haven't already) to catch all the rules, as there have been changes and updates since the original post.

Thanks again and I can't wait to see your submission!

Everyone else, I believe that puts us to only 1 free slot left for a game submission :) So after I get one more submission offer, I will officially close acceptance for submissions. Who will be the lucky final entrant? ;)

So, how many people have finished their parts/almost done?

I've only heard back from you two and one other person who sent me an almost-completed game that I was thoroughly impressed with.. so 3 that I know of. I'm planning on sending out a reminder email a week or so before the deadline.

Yup, there was one game slot left, so you're in if you're making a game! Remember to read through the entire forum thread since some rules were updated/changed as we went along.

Thanks!

Bad news time: Due to lack of submissions received and some cancellations, I've had to cancel the Game & Watch Collab. I'm going to go cry into my beer now. Happy Canada Day!
