But yeah, anyone interested in the second collab, I'll definitely be looking forward to that monster :).

I'm definitely interested in participating, but we should try and introduce something new, I mean the same thing again wont work out so well.

How about having a mouse controlled shooting type game in the genre of Point Blank?
Cardboard cutout gangsters, ahoy!

Ya, If a new one comes out it will need to be different. This one scored (has scored) a few points lower than last one and i personnaly think it's a shitload better...

I think you guys have a lot of good ideas. We should make an entirely mouse-based Four Second Fury collaboration for next time, that would make for some interesting games :).

Great job! Definatly better than the last. Hope it gets Daily First!

Another possibility, if you're not worried about more complaints that it's like Warioware, is to use the setup from WW: Twisted, which seperates game by type (precision twisting, crazy gyrations, twisting and pressing A). Assuming we have 100 games, we could do 25 with the standard arrow keys and spacebar, 25 with the mouse, and 25 with the mouse and wasd. (And 25 with the q key, I don't know.)

Let us know the plan beforehand so I can come up with a bunch of half baked ideas. Thanks.

we tried = \ but it looks like we'll get 2nd in both weekly and daily... althought that sprite movie that looks like it's gunna beat us is kick ass

Im slightly confused. It says it ends August 31, but its July and its finished. I was going to make a thing for it, but too late, I'll do it for the next one I guess.

Well, Daily Second, Weekly Fourth, and Front Page! Great job everyone! If was a tough day, with 4-5 entries above 4.00.

ya... That doesn't happen all that often... = O

Awww, I've already started designing a few arrow-key based games for the next potential one... i think the main problem with the current edition was that too many of the games looked half-assed, or were too much the same as other ones. Maybe you could turn it into a competition, where we vote off games that aren't so good so you only get the best stuff for the next one? Just an idea though. Also I think the next one should be 'Four second thunder'... its the only close-enough-to-F-word that I could find... well anyway, great work on this collab! I want ot be in the next one no matter what!

John, I tried to email you my payment info and got this in my inbox from the mailer deamon

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following

What's up with that?

My email is jmtb02@gmail.com, not jtmb. And gmail was acting funny last night, so just try again.

If there'll be a sequel, I'd like to see more quality rather than more quantity. I'd still cap it off at 50 or even less, and maybe set a limit at 1 or 2 games max per author. Then have good both good graphics and good gameplay as a requirement for getting in.

Maybe some changes in the engine too, so that at least 30 characters of rules can fit.

That's what I would do.

I can't remember what email I sent my details to. Did you get them?

And I think there needs to be a big change in the next collab, something new and fresh that sticks to the "short time to do a minigame" idea, but in a different way.

Just to check, did you get my payment info?

We could have a variation, so some are mouse games, soem are arrow keys, and some are, ummm... somthing else:)
I think the idea needs to be slightly changed, but not alot. It is still supposed to be 'Four Second Fury' Not 'Five Second Mixed puzzle arcade super shooter'. It would kind of ruin the series if everything changed.

My BA feels happy this morning.

I am thinking that the idea of the Four Second series splitting in four different directions would be awesome. Something like 1 second games, mouse games, original mode, and whatever all in the same game would be fun.

Anyway, here are the peops I have recieved payment info from. If you have yet to do so, please send this information ASAP. Please include your alias, real name, contact email, and your paypal email OR address for a check. Send by email only (jmtb02@gmail.com).

I said the part about variation ten posts ago.

Change is good, and I doubt that this game will turn into one huge shooting gallery just because we have the mouse as a option. I think it will bring a fresh breath of fun into the game, rather than choke it to death.

A couple more suggestions for the next game, while I'm at it.

1: Limit the people who are making the game. Let's say no more than thirty people if we're going for 100 games. Have them prove their skills in animation, programming, or creativity (I have to make sure there's a way I can get in :P ) Then, create a forum on your site (you being John Cooney) so we don't have to worry about people seeing the builds before release time. (Although it didn't seem like a big deal the first time...)

2: Every few builds, find some random people off NG, who aren't working on the project, and have them play through the builds a few times. They can play through and check to see if the games we've made are able to be picked up quickly enough to be playable, but not quickly enough to get it instantly. Half the fun is figuring out what to do, and the other half is figuring out how to do it. I guess what I'm saying is that they need to check for balance. They have to make sure that the game isn't too confusing, but that you're not going to necessarily win on your first couple tries.

Ditto.

Well I guess I should of read John's post first. :P

I've got a name for FSF III: Four Second Fantasy!

Hey, it works.

Also, I'd like to be an artist for III.

I'm just waiting for us to get a review titled: "Four Second Fuck-Up"

Can't believe none of the WarioWare fanboys haven't thought up that one yet :D

next one = Four Second Finale

I love the WarioWare fanboys. Their reviews are hilarious. I even wrote in the submission info that it was a wariowaresque game, just to see if they would bite at me again.

I regret not having found the time to participate in this :P Maybe next time...

Well, presumably if we use my idea of requiring the collabers to prove themselves, we already have 26 people ready to go. I think that includes you.
