No idea what this is about, but best of luck and hope all of your endeavors go smoothly!
Don't forget to rest ^^;

Last year, Grez made this game, this one in 2020, a dungeon event in 2019, as well as a number of "trash train" events featuring trains with games that were mostly trash but, as is often the case, some really good things can get inadvertently thrown away. :D Example 1, Example 2 and 3. He's truly ingenious when it comes to these things.

I was wondering why there haven't been any halloween events yet this year haven't really been active the last couple years
can we create giveaways to be included in the event?

I might take you up on that...let me figure out what I have & need for keys once I get this coding done, and if you want to jump in, I'll humbly accept the help. :)

alright, I'll gladly contribute some spooky games :)

Sent you a friend request so we can use Steam chat to talk through game stuff. I currently have 67. I'd like to make it an even 100, but we'll see where we land. Hit me up on Steam chat once you accept the friend request and we'll get things going. π€ππ

We just have to accept you also have a red cape outside this small corner of the internet and other people need you to be awesome, Grez.
So by all means, take whatever time you need to regal us with an event. The good thing about SG is that it has its own little world, we can prolong Halloween for however long we need ;)
Enjoy all the events and break a leg for that concert ;)

Thanks! I'm singing Michael Jackson (Rock With You), of all things! That song is freaking high, and I have to really wail to hit all of the notes properly. Gotta get some practice in tomorrow before the dress rehearsal tomorrow night. :)

Thanks for making these Grez. You have made some legendary events in the past, don't feel obligated to do too much. However the event turns out I'm sure it will be fine.

Thanks, man! I'm having to squeeze this coding in between other things, but I hope that it will turn out to be a fun event. Even if the game sucks, there are giveaways, so there's that. π€£π€£π€£

Thanks for the hard work! Cant remember if i joined the last one, but it was an interesting event for sure.
Dont get too pressured into doing it tho, real life always comes first.

I'll get it knocked out pretty soon. I'm probably 75% done coding now. Another couple of nights and I'll hopefully have it wrapped up.

Your events are always so fun. But if life gets in the way, that's the priority. You can make a post-xmas event or whatever. I mean, don't push yourself.

If all goes well, I'll do something around Christmas, too. :D

So yeah, at this point I kinda figure that people expect a Halloween event from me. And yes, I'm actually working on one. Hooray!
But I've been out of town helping out at my Dad's place in NC as well as attending a wedding out there, and it's the end of Q3 at work, and I'm both performing a number in and hosting the after-party for a big classical-and-pop-music-crossover concert that is taking place this Thursday and Friday. Phew. October has been super busy so far and that's not slowing down.
Where we are: I have a new, intentionally-janky Halloween game about 65% coded. I need to add in probably one more enemy and then all of the start screen/end screen stuff as well as code to show the entry points for trains. So, there's still a lot to do. But, I'm hoping to get this knocked out over the next couple of nights so that the event can launch later this week. I'll probably let it go past Halloween this year just to give people time to participate.
But it's coming, I promise! So keep your eyes on the discussions, and it'll show up there as soon as I have it fully working.
EDIT: Additional enemies added, power-ups are coded and working, as well as game pause functionality. Now I just need to get a few decent sound effects in place and then get the main menu and game over screens coded. π
EDIT NOV 2
Ok, I swear I'm really close to being done! Sound effects are complete, music is in, framework for start menu and game over screen are done. I just need to choose a title and fix all of the menu graphics, make the trains and then we're off to the races!
So yeah, the Halloween event is going to be after Halloween. I know. I wanted to do this sooner, but my schedule just really didn't permit it. But hey, at least it's actually going to get done.
Stay tuned...I should have something up and going in the next 2-3 days.
EDIT NOV 4
FINALLY!
The code is done for this thing. I ran into more challenges than expected, but the thing is now working well, menus looking good, etc. I only have to make the trains, add the codes to the app, then package up the installer. My intention is to launch the event on Monday (the 7th, my wife's birthday!), and have it run for a week.
