I'm incredibly bored tonight, so I'm taking minigame requests. Give me a setting, or a genre, or even a control scheme, and I'll have a go at making a little game to suit it.

Snails immediately spring to mind for some reason...


tonyg(Posted 2008) [#3]
If we're playing that game... Curly Wurly was my first thought.

Tetris :)

Sausages - big ones - in nappies - Larging about.

Watch out, watch out, there's a sausage about.

Woof.


GfK(Posted 2008) [#6]
By some strange coincidence, I'm also in the process of writing a bunch of mini-games for Magicville (althought the last one has taken me well over a week) :/


tonyg(Posted 2008) [#7]
oooo, two chances to have a game about a Curly Wurly then



or sausages in nappies

There's probably a very good reason why both of those... ideas, haven't been taken up before.


Who was John Galt?(Posted 2008) [#9]
Snails... yes. On unicycles. Kickstart meets snails on unicycles.


GfK(Posted 2008) [#10]
But how will they pedal?


Foppy(Posted 2008) [#11]
Using their eyes :)


Warpy(Posted 2008) [#12]
Well, after watching Mock the Week, I've just spent 20 minutes making a little unicycle but at this rate the cycling-inside-snail-shells extravaganza I've got planned will take ages, so I might reconsider.


puki(Posted 2008) [#13]
Looks like the sausages are back in the running.


Sauer(Posted 2008) [#14]
Oh I know...

"Hell Toupee"

A toupee springs from the depths of hell, and every person that wears it turns into a zombie and eats brains.

It has zombies and a bad pun come on its a shoo in.


puki(Posted 2008) [#15]
Don't be ridiculous.


Warpy(Posted 2008) [#16]
Man, this is a total failure. Whatever mojo I had before my dinner has disappeared along with my appetite. I've just spent half an hour trying to remember how position-based dynamics works.


plash(Posted 2008) [#17]
A game? pah.. go write a module for OpenCV :D

Sausage up in the air = sausage falling


puki(Posted 2008) [#19]
Taking into account that its nappy doubles up as a parachute.


Yahfree(Posted 2008) [#20]
So theres your quota:

curly wurly napping unicycling parachuting large snail sausages from magicville?

Make it happen Warpy.

Barista Deluxe. A coffee barista trying to fill orders for espresso, latte,
americano, half calf/decaf, etc. All done with a BurgerTime like urgency.
In between levels you get to have a coffee break. If you make it to closing
time, they wheel you to the hospital with heart problems from the stress and
caffeine overdose.

Well there seems to be enough about sausages, now we are going to need some eggs !. Lots of rolling ones.


steve_ancell(Posted 2008) [#23]
Come to think of it... You could pull apart my rolling egg demo if you like.

Warpy(Posted 2008) [#24]
I'm definitely a morning person. Very early sausages.


chwaga(Posted 2008) [#25]
lol, nice, but be cool, do some per-pixel normal map lighting on them sausages.


big10p(Posted 2008) [#26]
Oops, I broke the sausage (which crashed the app, too).

I'd post a pic of the amusing image the broken sausage resembles but I currently have no webspace to upload to. Anyway, you can probably guess what it resembles.


Kryzon(Posted 2008) [#27]
Something like a Luxor type game. Google it.


andy_mc(Posted 2008) [#28]
a phone switch board game!

hoverboarding dogs!

A flying rocket powered house that chasing icecream vans! (oh hang, that's been done ;-P )

Monkey's in Hamster balls that have to collect bananas and complete courses by tilting the world! (that's beend oen too)

A crazy plumber who eats too many mushrooms and when he eats a feather he turns into a flying beaver. (and I'll stop now)


andy_mc(Posted 2008) [#29]
You could remake a classic

Spacewar? (doesn't get much more classic than that)


WERDNA(Posted 2008) [#30]
LOL, Puki is obsessed with sausages!

I have a few good ideas for you Warpy.

These were minigames that I was planning to make myself but haven't
gotten around to it yet.

Game 1;

A game about a group of monks, whos leader has died, and they take
up the epic quest of transporting his body to the top of mount power
to be buried at the sacred burial ground.

The monks are willing to do anything to get their leaders body to the
top, even sacrifice their own lives!(Thats why the player is given a lot
of monks, because a fair amount of them will die on the way up.)

I haven't thought about the fine details, but the game is going to be
very funny, with lots of hilarious mishaps along the way. And if you lose
the lead monks body at any time, then its game over.

Game 2;

NINJAS!
I simply Envision swarms of little ninjas. I have no idea what they would
be doing, but who doesn't love ninjas?

Game 3;

You play a guy in a sporty red hotrod, zooming along the highway.
The goal of the game is to earn Cool Points. You earn them by doing
cool things, like zooming up ramps, going ultra fast, and doing awesome
stunts.
And then there will be all sorts of obstacles as well for you to dodge.

Game 4;

Feel free to do a Duncan the blind archer game if you like.

Just make sure that the player can't see anything, and has to rely on
Duncans trusty side kick Will for directions.


Well thats all for now.

Wish you luck with your minigame, and please don't make it about
sausages. LOL
