Challenge 14: Mickey's next!




This weeks challenge is Drop Dead. In Drop Dead you basically fling the bear into things to try to cause as much "damage" as possible. The winner will be the person with the best overall highscore, it doesn't matter what scenario you achieve it on!

Notice! Drop Dead has blood effects, so if you aren't comfortable with them don't attempt this challenge!

DM1 birthday project

I thought it might be a good idea if we collect birthdays from our DM1 regs. Everyone loves hearing "Happy Birthday!" so why not?

If you would like to get a happy birthday post and hear it many times in chat leave a comment here, or post in the forum topic. (Use the forum topic if you aren't lazy!) You can also find a list of the birthdays collected in the forum topic.

(Thanks to Nick for the idea!)

Argue (About everything, well within reason)



Kongreagte's first premium game was released yesterday, the game is, Argue (About Everything). In Argue you pick debates with your opponents, over any variety of issues; anywhere from "Mario is better the Sonic", to Obama is better the McCain.

While being a "premium" game, argue has no "buy" there will only be one other premium game that won't have purchasable component. That is both a good and a bad thing; on one hand you have every part of the game, on the other there isn't more to it, should you indeed really like it.

Argue is also very interactive, when you're arguing your arguments will appear on the main screen for everyone to see. The interactivity is by far among the best I have ever seen in a flash game. You can create arguments; debate anyone; even upload images for your argument. The game also has a full in-game scoreboard run through kongregate. (Which right now our very own TheGhostGamer is on top of. GO GHOST!)
The gamplay itself is pretty simple: you send your arguments it your opponents, and attempt to try to cover more ground. It uses a a "rock, papers, scissors" system for which argument beats which. As I said, the game is pretty simple, but yet has a good amount of strategy at the same time, which tends to make it "Love it or hate it". You will either be addicted, or be board within 3 games. It should be noted that games themselves only last a couple minutes, five at most.


It should also be noted the Argue will get badges, and maybe even a DM1 game night. The badges might have to wait until the servers get updated though.

Shoot up them tutorials!



Today Kongregate launched its “Labs” section along with its “shootorials” series. The idea behind these is to help new developers create a basic game. Along with the shootorials series the Labs also has a forum, and soon “new developers” kits; which will provide new developers with art and codes, among other things.

Oh yeah, did I mention that the person that uploads the best rated game, who hasn't yet uploaded a game will win extra prize money. See contest rules here

You may also notice that anything that has to do with the shootorials will have a black background with a graffiti look; this is because the shootorials were sponsored by Scion.


And here's the link to the above mentioned forum.

Get developing, NOW!
