I’m joining this one I think. There are two possibilities, my one and only old mini-ld entry or an old game I started year ago and never finished.

The only thing I can really think of to work on is my LD18 project but I’m not sure I’d want to be working on that one

I’ll try to finish my horizontal shot’em up I’ve started for the October challenge: http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~rcpinto/skywarriors/Main.swf (move with mouse, shot with left button, change weapon with scroll)
I worked on it just a few hours and suddenly I got a lot of other things to do =/
The basic idea here is a relaxing game where you can play only with the mouse, and can buy new weapons between stages… It’s intended to be added to Kongregate someday.
Also, I’m using FlashPunk for the first time. Pretty awesome =)

Interesting! I have no shortage of unfinished LD games I could return to. Will give this a shot

I’ve got loads of these kinds of projects! And it fits well for me, as I’ve been on a “Make games I’ve wanted to make for a long time” kick lately.

I’ve got it narrowed down to a few different old projects.

Likely to start early, to be honest.

At any rate, I’ll have closure on something. Yes! Yes! Yes! Go! Go! Go!

Hmm… Or maybe I should just add sound, a level editor and some more enemies to Fixed Rate Pig?

(Or I just keep working on Kobo II. Then again, getting a break, and releasing something fun are both good things. Decisions, decisions… )

Great idea!!! I just don’t know which one of my unfinished LD entries to choose…

I have a small game I made for a christmas contest 2 years ago, its actually finished, but its too simple and has some gameplay problems (game diffculty increases too fast, bosses have a ton of health, enemy projectiles are too hard to see, etc) and I could add online highscores and maybe some other features

Those were the days…!

Being a former Amiga coder, VGA Mode-X (triple buffered, hardware scrolling) was the only acceptable option. Not only that; the university had a lot of PCs with some strange VGA cards that just wouldn’t accept a screenfull of pixels per frame no matter what – but thanks to the hardware scrolling, I got a rock solid 60 fps on those too.

These days, brute force and 3D acceleration is the only way to go – and not even that is anywhere near reliable… :-/ Oh well. It is nice when it works, though; blending effects at minimal cost and all.

wow Mode-X … that takes me back.

ooooh… that sounds awesome! And I’d have a perfect game to use… Unfortunately I’ll be home for thanksgiving weekend, and away from my desktop… I do have an old Dell machine at home though, maybe that’d work if I can get all my tools/dependencies installed on it…

For many years, I’ve been meaning to bring my old DOS Mode-X sidescroller Project Spitfire back to life in the form of an SDL port – but I just never get around to it.

Not be the most exciting game out there, but it might make a nice SDL programming example, sort of combining Fixed Rate Pig and Parallax and adding sound. Throw in a basic level editor, and people might have some fun with it.

Nice Idea… gotta look if I have my old LD #18 project somewhere on my PC..

Any project is ok really. If you aren’t using an LD game, that’s fine. It’s all about revisiting something you always wanted to put more work into.
