PROTO PROTO BAN-BA-BOUND!

Two PROTOFLESHLINGS will take on BRIDALCOMBATANT status and compete in BAN-BA-BOUND in order to have their LOVE acknowledged by society so they can ascend to the MARRIAGE STATUSPHERE.

BAN-BA-BOUND is a challenge for 1 or 2 BRIDALCOMBATANTS within a strict time limit.

[THE ARROW KEYS] control the EXPECTICANT: REACH the DIFFERENTLY COLORED ELECTROPLASMOID in the far corner of the MARRIAGE GRID whereupon you will become the ABSORPTIONATRIX and earn the capability to DEVOUR the (previously dangerous) ELECTROPLASMOIDS before the timer reaches ZERO POSSIBILITY OF SUCCESS.

*IMPORTANT* Contact with the dangerous ELECTROPLASMOIDS while in EXPECTICANT mode will leave behind a burnt huskflesh BLOCKADE and your body will be reconstituted back at the point of origin.

[THE MOUSE] controls the PROTECTRESS: USE your magnificent body to DEFLECT the dangerous ELECTROPLASMOIDS and GUARD the EXPECTICANT as they strive for ABSORPTIONATRIX status. Contact with a huskflesh BLOCKADE will disintegrate it.

PRO-TIP: The practice of strategic self-sacrifice blockading has proven useful in the past.

PRO-TIP: F2 to reset.

Assassin puppets are dancing all around. They want your flesh! Arrow keys to move.

The so-called laser being is an alleged anomalous hominid that is said to inhabit the Canadian outback. First sighted in 1982, eyewitness reports usually describe a tall, wiry humanoid figure with a large head and shaggy appearance. However the creature is highly elusive and no conclusive evidence of its existence has ever been produced.

The time is right... for making videogames! The Timezone Lottery Klik Jam happens on the first Saturday of every month, at a time chosen randomly by our top-of-the-line numerical hour-choosing machines. This month, it takes place at 10:30 pm UTC. Whenever that time rolls around for you, you have two hours to make a game!

How can I possibly make a game in that short a timespan, you gasp? There are many game-making tools available, but the most ludicrous and welcoming of all is Klik & Play. If you want to give K&P a shot, we have a Learning KNP FAQ available, as well as some advice on making it work on modern machines.

Making games is its own reward, but it can be much, much more rewarding when you're doing it with friends. To get the most out of this worldwide internet game jam, come talk with everyone on IRC. It's a great way to share this awesome experience, and get quick help when things aren't going right. Our server is irc.freenode.net, and our channel is #glorioustrainwrecks.

After you've made your game, upload it here!

For more information, check out the N00B FAQ.

Sign up below to get a reminder email the day before the jam!

run start.bat to play

this game is made to reference the latest koi puncher game that just came out and that I have not played.
this is that game https://jdmgames.itch.io/koi-puncher-mmxviii
i am not associated with whatnot games
any statements I may or may not make do not reflect on the whatnot games brand.
usage of elements resembling those in koi puncher falls under fair use
yeargh sound belongs rightfully to clickteam
bubblz sound belongs rightfully to someone, probably
probably the images belong to people too
it's all fair use i swear

what does fair use mean?

During a Twitter conversation about the current state of Glorious Trainwrecks, an idea suddenly dawned on me: if the site, as it is, is badly designed, and this is hurting site participation, why not just go ahead and do a rewrite?

While we could just upgrade to the latest Drupal, there are several reasons why that is a terrible idea:

- Drupal is written in PHP. PHP is a terrible language.
- Drupal has too much complexity, and this bleeds into both the user experience and site maintenance. A lot of Drupal's abstractions are aimed at trying to be useful for many different configurations, but makes managing all of them more confusing.
- Despite these abstractions, Drupal doesn't provide what we need out of the box. There's already a significant amount of hackery in this place to incorporate a list of registered games, and it took multiple attempts to get it working with events. This would have to be done all over again if we were to upgrade to a newer Drupal, and this is made harder by the fact that, again, PHP is a terrible language.

Instead, I would like to focus on creating what I'd like to call a "creative content system". This will be a CMS-like system where everyone can participate by default. While typical CMSs like Drupal allow for this, it seems like they are primarily aimed at things like organizational websites rather than open participation communities. This will be software that anyone can install on their web server, especially since SpindleyQ has always wanted something in the form of a "Glorious Trainwrecks kit" for other gamedev groups to set up and host their own Klik of the Month Klubs or whatever. However, I would also like to design this around Glorious Trainwrecks and its needs.

Additionally, when I refer to "creating content", I mean all kinds of media, including art, music, games, or whatever. Hence when I talk of functionality you'll see me refer to "creations" rather than, say, "games". I want to make something that artists working in other mediums can use, too.

For the sake of ease of use and cleanliness, I am going for a simpler design. I can always add more bells and whistles later, but this way we can start off on a clean slate. Here is what I currently have in mind:

- The main page will be the Activity Stream, even when browsing as a guest. This will be similar in function to the "Recent changes" page already on this site (for those who prefer "Recent posts", I might add a "new content only" toggle or something to that effect). Only here, it would be much richer, since it would provide image previews and a synopsis of each post inline. In fact, think of it as a combination of "Recent changes" and the Newest Games list currently in GT's sidebar, or a combination of a community hub and a social network (except not really). You will be able to filter by different types of content, or switch to an index list view for archive viewing purposes.
- All content is created in the form of a "Post". A Post may either be a "Communication" (which I need a better name for) which serves as a blog/journal post, a "Creation", or an "Event".
- A "Creation" can be media of any type that the site provides. For example, a site might choose to support both "Music" and "Game" type Creations, and the user would select which one to use. While I am not aiming for a very pluggable/customizable system for version 1.0, I would at least like to make the Creation types customizable.
- Events are displayed at the top of the main page, above the Activity Stream, to draw attention to upcoming and current Events. In the case of lots of Events, the system will select a few at random, and provide an "All Events" link to view the rest.
- Site staff can "pin" posts to the top of the Activity Stream for site announcements and the likes.
- All Posts can be assigned to one or more tags/categories. The site configuration can define one or more "categories" for each post type, which are like "official" tags that are always presented to the user during post creation.
- Users get basic profiles including username, avatar, homepage link, and a list of all of their posts.
- Users can also send private messages to one another.

Because I am aiming for a relatively simple system, there are some features that won't appear. Namely:

- There is no wiki, or at least there probably won't be a wiki in the initial version. If at all. I just think a lot of CMSs try to do everything and end up only doing a few of these things well. This project is not like that. I'm not even sure how a wiki would fit in with the user experience I have in mind.
- There are no forums. If you think about it, Communication (blog) posts are basically the same thing: a user can post something to start a topic, and assign it to a tag/category and it will show up if filtering activity by tag/category. Users can comment on it like one would reply to a forum topic. So really, I think it makes all the sense in the world to not have forums. It would just be pointless duplication.

The project itself will be a webapp written in Python. I think I should be able to handle it - I'll be using a "microframework" with extensions for things like SQLAlchemy for DB access (I kind of doubt this project will see any deployment on sites large enough to need something as scalable as a NoSQL-type DB), and OAuth (so that users can log in with Twitter).

Also, I really enjoy designing things and I think this is a pretty good design so far, but I'm worried the UX might be too radically different from what GT currently has. Also, I might have missed a thing or two. Please provide some feedback, if you can. Again, I want to base a lot of the design off of GT's needs, so it's important that I get to hear some opinions from other GTers. I do not currently have any UI mockups, but I'd like to make some soon so that I can better illustrate the design I'm going for.

One last thing: Since this is software that I don't intend to be limited exclusively to Glorious Trainwrecks, we'll have to think about other sites as well. GT has a super great community full of nice people, but not all communities are like this. Much of the design revolves around assuming good faith instead of expecting people to misbehave. I have been thinking of adding in admin-configurable limitations (such as each user only being able to host three events at a time, etc.) as well as the ability to remove EG. posting permissions from problematic users. Right now I feel like I'm trying to straddle the line between creating something aimed at super nice communities like GT vs increased adoption elsewhere in not-so-happy climates. Thoughts?

Enjoy everyone.. Posted in the right event as it is a name generator title, I just added Dr. Awesome to it. More info in the link provided. Enjoy, share, I made it for everyone with everyone in mind. Welcome to my world. I hope this game that I spent the past month parsing gives you a nice tour.. If you don't like what you can see you can press BACK on your browsers or even = to skip frames.. just make sure you've clicked on the flash object or else at least in opera it increases the font/stuff size. and if you like something backspace, yes, no yes I've explained the rest at that link so enjoy!

Update! I received a couple let's plays, initially I requested the first but both came as a surprise.
Let's play by goldenhog with his consistent collaborator CAPTAINSTEWPID. This showcases the game better than I could have dreamed of and I give gratitude for that.

And another Let's play by IndieArtArchive I appreciate second handedly collaborating with you as well.

Thank you. I won't give the spoilers out.. The second reviewer got the Richard Jacques and TJ Davis track to stop by clicking it out of its sound channel. This can be fixed by backspacing to the first frame. I debated whether to make the sound non-interruptible, or make it breakable as an easter egg. I'll leave it bugged as a lesson for other trainwreck developers. Both groups are experienced LPers and I endorse their work, and other arts.

Your girlfriend asks you to get rich. You heard, that computer freaks become quite rich. So you participate in a computer challenge, where competitors use their machines in battles to show, who the best is. But don't let the evolution of the newest era make your team look like dinosaurs.

This game works on Windows 95. There is a DOS version available on Doshaven and Slimesalad, too.

so the concept was lemmings + portal
but.. turns out i hate portal and .. not that into lemmings
and i found i cannot get the concept to work either
and also it completely breaks when converted to mmf
(so you literally need knp or be able to run the knp exe)
