Monster Monster Monster Party Party Party was created for the Gamma4 competition. The main constraint for the competition was to create a game that utilized only a single button. Here spacebar is used to play the entire game. When holding down the spacebar monsters will turn invisible and be invulnerable to tanks and helicopters. Timing your invincibility right also gives you the power to destroy the military.

I really enjoyed the artwork I created for the game with the stark colors and angular designs. I had a real blast designing the monsters and one of the things I wished I had more time to play around with was the idea of changing scales for the game (going from a single monster on the screen to up to 20 monsters at its most zoomed out). It’s an game mechanic I think that has a lot of interest and something I would want to explore in a future title or iteration of MMMPPP.

The third One Week/Game project is Monster Monster Monster Party Party Party.

Developed for the both the Global Game Jam using the theme of deception and the Gamma 4 competition by using a single button to play. In MMMPPP (the official abbreviation endorsed here!) monsters have decided to have a night out on the city. Unfortunately for us that means by the end of the night the city will be burned to the ground.

Developed between Jan. 30th to the Feb. 1st. Made in Flash using the flixel engine.

4:45 AM:
And I’m done.

There’s something resembling a game here in the end. I’ll talk more tomorrow-ish.

1:32 AM:
A sprite sheet of sorts.

12:27 AM:
Two more levels of zoom here.

12:13 AM:
At this point the problem is the images start the blend together. What was novel a few hours ago is the same old, same old.

11:28 PM:
And we come full circle.

10:48 PM:
Helis. At some point this should become a game.

9:51 PM:
Tanks tanks tanks tanks tanks.

8:50 PM:
The city is on fire! On fiii-ya!

7:20 PM:
Monsters!

With the Global Game Jam finally wrapped up I’ll be working on this until 3 AM tonight! Will it be done by then? Here’s hoping.

1:47 PM:
Mysterious boxes appear!

12:52 PM:
After a night of sleeping here comes the last few pushes to finish the game. Finishing by 3 PM EST to submit to the Global Game Jam? Unlikely. But I’m trying to finish everything up by tonight.

To tide people over, here is another image of people scurrying around.

3:04 AM:
Seems like there are people in this city. But why are they outside?

2:12 AM:
Look at all those wonderful buildings. I wonder what will become of them?

11:37 PM:
Crazy levels of zoom! What could this be used for?

9:02 PM:
Back in the saddle and creating a bunch of art assets. Nothing super fancy, but still!

6:38 PM:
So I’m working on a game for the Global Game Jam. Here’s the title screen!
