I think I'm going to throw in the towel... again. Intending to take a 1 hour nap earlier, I accidentally slept through all of my alarms and slept for ~8 hours.
There's no way I can get my entry into a decently playable state with good content in the time that remains.
I made a lot of assets for this last-second contest entry. Maybe I'll be able to use them in other projects.
Wither it is playable or not does not matter i believe this contest wants to test how far and what you can do with the new 500 assets.

For me, this contest is about winning and about competition. I can screw around with the new features on my own time and for other projects, and I don't need a competition to motivate me to do that.
With no time remaining, even scoring in the top 5 seems be extremely improbable given the amount of progress I've made. | |
I'm going to leave A2J2TIWARI and I's entry at this. It is incomplete, but it is playable and is more of a...demo.
There are two bugs that I am aware of, but cannot pin down and consistently reproduce: 1. On rare occasions, the screen fade effects don't...fade. They just go straight to black. The problem with finding the cause is that I fade the screen many times in the game, and it works 99% of the time. I have a feeling it is an elusive bug with animate(). This isn't major, but it can be annoying when it happens. 2. SPOILER ALERT: I hate that I can't pin this one down, because I have to talk about the gameplay (Because this one is more major and can cause you to have to restart). On rare occasions, after solving the library puzzle, one of the bookshelves will not start "bouncing". There appears to be no fix to this except to restart. Given the nature of what is really happening in my code, I believe it is an issue of my own doing, but I'm not sure what it is doing wrong. It rarely ever happens though, and the demo is fairly short, so just consider yourself unlucky if you run into it. http://www.sendspace.com/file/389zk3 | |

I'm not entirely satisfied, but I have something solid now. Making a test map for my project and I'm hosting to all to test. Was Lolling at Calus Corp! This was fun!!! Damn good job Makeii!! =D | |
I don't quite understand where animate() comes in, Makeii.
| |
I added a little something with animate() within the final hour. That's all I can really do now.

Here is my submission:

Bah, not going to be able to get anything playable in time. Work killed me... Not really a whole lot there, unfortunately. Didn't even try to make any decent graphics yet, not may effects set up. -sigh-
Actions are on a five second timer. You can choose a skill or an item with a target, or just drag yourself to a new location to begin moving there. Explore, kill stuff, gain items/equiptment/etc, finish side quests for loot, find henchmen, and make your way towards the center of the map to complete whatever the rounds goal is.  | |

There's a glitch, when you jump and place a block under the player he sometimes gets stuck in it. If you are the host, hold space and click a tile to teleport. | |
Sent in my zip with 5 minutes on the clock. Not that I was really done or anything :P Hope it works!

A little late (and not quite as finished as I would have liked), but I present to you:
"500 Fathoms" <img SRC=http://files.byondhome.com/SuperSaiyanGokuX/ 500contest%202013-10-18%20012608.png? http://files.byondhome.com/SuperSaiyanGokuX/500contest.zip As mentioned, the game has no real instructions, so here's the run-down: 1) The objective is to make your way to the bottom of the sea (500 tiles down!), and find and destroy something special there (you'll know it when you see it) All racing against the clock, because your air is running out (did I mention you're a surface-breathing aquatic animal?) You air will dwindle on its own, or in chunks when you take damage. The round/run is over when you drown or when you find and eliminate your target. 2) Along the way, you'll run into (literally; Bump() into things to "attack") several creatures and obstacles:
Dive in and enjoy! (beware, the terrain generation (and post-round tear-down) take a pretty large chunk of time. I'll work on this in the future to carve away at that delay) | |
@Magicsofa.
Step 1. Die. Step 2. Hit escape. Step 3. Hit escape. Step 4. Enjoy walking through walls. :D Ending is a gray screen? :( | |
Sent in the zip, ended up being a little late because some last minute bugs occurred.
| |
I thought there was still 10 minutes left (according to the event calendar), but multiple people are saying it ended at different times??? Hopefully this isn't an issue, but here's my submission for those who want to check it out:

You should have checked the main post, because there was a timer linked there that showed the countdown to the official deadline.
That said, it shouldn't be an issue because WANO says in his OP that he will accept entries that are late by a few hours. | |
