DizzyAGE Easter Competition 2007 [ENDED]

[xelanoimis]

The "DizzyAGE Easter Competition 2007" is on!

The competiton rules and prizes can be found on the official DizzyAGE website:
http://www.simion.co.uk/dizzyage/competition.html

Hurry up and be there with an entry, on May 1st !
Or maybe you have something to offer to the winners?
Just let me know if you're on to something...

Jamie Douglas already announced his entry, "Diamond Mine Dizzy".
He is still working on it and everything seems to look very nice.
Here is a glance at the plot:

"The King has hired Dizzy and the Yolkfolk to mine Diamonds for him in his private mine. One day, The King is away, so Dizzy decides to go for a walk. As usual, he misses all the action, as Trolls loyal to the Evil Wizard Zaks enter the mines, causing the Yolkfolk to flee as the Trolls imprison Daisy, then take all the diamonds and scatter them throughout the land, causing chaos as they leave. Needless to say the King is not amused when he returns. He blames Dizzy for the whole thing, and orders him to find all the diamonds and restore order to the land."

Thank you for the mention Alex, i'm just gonna add that i should have a beta version done by the end of february, which will leave me 2 months to iron any bugs out and add other little bits and details that I may think of.

in the meantime, i'll post a couple of screenshots i took a few weeks ago. bear in mind these are quite out of date now, especially as i made a completely new title and border the other day when i should have been coding the game!

Hi, i like the look of the game. Nice to see someone else start too use dizzyage

I will say good luck to both -TF- and Peter and I will look forward to playing the games when they're ready

[delta]

thank you both! there won't be any hugely complicated bits of coding in my game, simply because i only started using DizzyAGE at the end of December, and i'm sure i've not yet learned how to use it to it's fullest.

Having said that, i do have a fairly good grasp of the basics now, enough to do a reasonably decent game anyway (i hope!)

It would be nice people to motivate their votes in this thread, and to give advices to the participants,
to tell them what they liked or not about their games and to help them make even better games in the future.

It's hard to choose 1 and I enjoyed playing all 3 of them

Jamie's game was nice and big, but too many Diamonds are sneakly hidden and bit much on the joke items Plus I haven't finished this one yet mainly because I haven't found all the Diamonds yet

Peter's game is very accuratley done and Prince of the Yolkfolk being one of the nice and simple Dizzy games I've played, I finished it no probs

and Andy's game I'd say is well done according to the way are 16-bit graphics are placed and I'm still currently trying to find a use for the Lubricant and Excalibur

Overall there was a lot to check out on Diamond Mine (along with the sneaky Diamond hiding places ) so I'd go for that me thinks.
