This is a TIGSource TIGER Assault Free Form Competition.

What is TIGSource?  You're sitting in it.

What is TIGER Assault?  TIGER Assaults are short competitions based around a particular theme.  The emphasis is on collaboration, sharing, and, most of all, the completion of projects.  I.e., it's an exercise in making small, tight, enjoyable/interesting games that can be played from beginning to end.  There are no prizes involved.

What is Free Form?  Any format goes!  But the game should at least run on Win32 platforms.

The theme of the game is Folklore and Urban/Regional Legends. Any story that leaves a haunting personal impression and is told over generations. Gossip, bedtimes stories, and fables all apply but don't forget about the bizarre and morbid origins of your favorite tales.

You goal is to create a game based on such an idea.  

Start Date: Monday, October 3rd 12:01 AM

End Date: Sunday, October 31st, 12:00 AM

Rules:

- Entries should be started and ended within the time frame of the competition to be considered for judging (but it's OKAY if you start thinking/prototyping a bit earlier).

- Using pre-existing game engines is OKAY.

- Entries must be made for the competition only (but you can do whatever you wish with them once they're finished).

- Collaborations are allowed and, in fact, are welcomed.

- As usual, you may start a thread to track the development of your game!  Be sure to select the "Folklore Fall" message icon to accompany your post.

- You may submit more than one game.

- Submit your game by declaring "FINISHED" on your game's thread.  Include the download link to the latest version of the game somewhere where I can find it.

Look at me! I'm Derek Yu!

Probably best to keep them in the Competitions forum, with a [FF] tag. Maybe it could get its own subthing and frontpaged, but its my fault for suggesting it on such absurdly short notice.

right on! I'm looking forward to this!

some ideas for anyone who's lacking in them:

-shmup based on the Jersey Devil
-anything about Japanese ghosts/monsters/demons, check out The Illustrated One Hundred Demons from the Present and the Past. pokemon, anybody?
-Finnish and Slavic mythology, two very overlooked sets of myths. bear-worship, stars as blanket upon world-pillar, Veles the underworld god.
-John Henry, massively strong USA folk hero, essentially the USA mythology's equivalent to Thor. wielder of hammer and defeater of machines. make a sequel to Hammerin' Harry I guess?

and I guarantee at least one person will do something on the most metal of legends -

What does "official" mean? Is this an official TIG compo, like Assemblee and Versus etc?

It's probably more likely to be official as in the AGBIC compo. I can host the compo page if needed. I hosted the AGBIC compo page.

I'm going to have to sit this one out, of course, since I'm still working on our game from the Versus compo.
I'll be looking forward to seeing what comes of this, though!

It's official because I say so! Harumph.

Haha, what I mean is, I'm trying to make sure this gets the love it needs. We need more competitions!

I can host the compo page if needed. I hosted the AGBIC compo page.

Thanks for the kind offer! If we get enough games to warrant that, that'd be fantastic.

Could this be more visible in other sections of forum? It just feels to me that this could be missed by many as it is now  Concerned
