Mini Games Collection

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
This is both a request to Gendai and a call to arms.

The goal here is to make a game that reaches the top ten.

The Salad Bowl
A game with 10 or more minigames contributed by you the GS Fun Developer.
Gendai to judge and merge the best 10 or so games, and publish, with all the contributors credited.

What's in it for you?
Fame and glory.
Rewards from Gendai.
Fun

What's in it for Gendai?
Publicity for GameSalad.
Fun.

Did you say rewards?
Yep. Of course Gendai would have to decide what they would be willing to do. But here's a fantastically over ambitious idea

iPad + pro license for every accepted app. (Why not start big?) - Though you may not get it until the app has made enough money.

How do we get this started?
Add your name to this thread to show you would be interested (including Gendai).
Post any ideas you have to improve the concept.

Concepts
Please feel free to post your own. But i thought this might be cool.

Designers submit ideas for game characters. A winner is chosen by poll. Then all games must feature this character. The character can be redrawn to suit your game, so styles can change, but there is continuity in each game. You'll still be free to do any type/style game you like.

Have fun!

    That would be wicked! And with at least 10 developers advertising the game it's bound to do better than most GS games would.

    I still think Gendai Games should throw an official contest.

    10 free Pro licenses is a potential $20,000.

    Absolutely, this should be a Gendai Competition.
  • RHRH Member Posts: 1,079
    I don't think you mentioned pricing, but I reckon it should be free with ads (maybe a paid version to remove them and with a few more mini games). This way Gendai could advertise themselves and make money from the ads.

    We are not worthy....very impressive...more than just a talent with the tools...really good characterisation, seriously impressed, you've captured the youthful (not me) and vibrant jokey GS community to a tee.
  • RattleheadRattlehead Member Posts: 485
    @debugdesign: LOL! That's a great character!
  • jkanalakisjkanalakis Member, PRO Posts: 49
    Sounds like fun, count me in too...

    Maybe we could get a yes/no/maybe from Gendai? Since how people seem to be working on this already. :)

    Nice work debugdesign! Of course i'm going to have a bash myself later. *evil grin*

    I do like the idea of taking the GameSalad logo as a reference, but i'm not sure that gendai (if this were to go ahead) would allow it. It might sound silly, but even for a good cause, your branding is sensitive stuff. I'd completely understand if they didn't approve.

    I'm game fo sho.
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    Sounds good - I'm in... :-)
  • debugdesigndebugdesign Member Posts: 886
    I agree about using GS as character, if Gendai don't join in we would need a new character...

    @MrFunkleberry - go for it, it was only a quickie and in the real world would be difficult to animate if he appeared in games...
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    if it gets the go ahead, I'm in...

    great charater debugdesign.

    mini game idea:

    Based on a video I made for a 10 second animation contest a few years ago...

    http://www.stormygraphics.freeuk.com/portfolio/animation/various/life.mov

    The faster you tap the faster your character runs the longer he stays on the earth.

    like that but in 2D...
