Hey everyone. The GCC is back. The theme is Rhythm. That means you make a gamemode that involves Rhythm. Interpret that how you like. Contest ends September 20th. There will be no extensions, and don't give me that timezone bullshit. Here are the rules: www.gmodgcc.org/#rules

If you have a problem with the rules or theme, don't join. You know what, just close your browser now. Even if you decided to join, your game would probably suck anyway. Yeah that's right, I'm challenging you to make a gamemode that doesn't suck in less than 3 weeks. What of it? You disgust me. Go fuck yourself.

We will not be giving out big money prizes or accepting cash donations this time since doing taxes on that is a bitch and I'm not filing the non-profit organization paperwork.

Facepunch Studios has kindly donated the following.

1st Prize - £200 worth of Steam games or hardware

2nd Prize - £100 worth of Steam games or hardware

3rd Prize - £50 worth of Steam games or hardware

If you're new here, just check out the website. www.gmodgcc.org

Gamemodes will be judged by three hand-picked judges from the community on the weekend following the end of the contest like always.

Oh, and remember to have fun!

Contest has been extended to the 28th. Good Luck!

I really hope this will bring some fresh game modes into garrysmod. I haven't played in forever because RP is gay as fuck and zombies gets old

[Dlaor-guy]

I really missed these. Going to see if I can participate in this (might be difficult with school and Ludum Dare etc etc)

Edited:

Rhythm gamemodes seem to be really rare in Gmod. Do they even exist?

[Banana Lord.]

Well first you must take apart what the contest is asking for:

Rhythm Game

What is a rhythm game?

what are the components of rhythm games?

how can i make one that isn't like any other?

[Spencer Sharkey]

I hope you all know what this is~~

Cats coming soon

I'm down with that.

[jordguitar]

1st prize
garry will personally punch you in the face

[danielga]

And then your face gets the chance to be photographed and is replacing the Facepunch Studios logo.

[SGTSpartans]

I can donate 3 prizes, all nuclear dawn full games.

[R3N]

Are we using the Gmod13 engine?

[Spencer Sharkey]

My understanding is it could be either... but why use GM12 when you have GM13?!

There are far more types of Rythm games than most people think there are
Stepmania
osu!
GH
O2Jam
Taiko

And then you have the various rythm games on consoles that focus only on peripherals, and bundles upon bundles of Arcade games, just a few examples.

You could incorporate difference aspects from all of these different games if you even wanted.

[Wizard of Ass]

Actually using gm13 should be a participate condition.

And bad coding should be penalized somehow.

Define bad?



Do you mean optimize?

[Coffeee]

I've started.

[Noi]

I'm in.

[Coffeee]

Improved the logo and made some backend stuff for gwop.



Edited:
100th post.

EDIT: Just realised that QWOP is impossible todo.

[RyuuFireStorm]

This is only a suggestion, but has anyone thought of elite beat agents? That's the only other one I can think of

[Drakehawke]

Too busy with preparing for 13 to do this one :(

I might try and throw something together in the last couple days if you're short of entries though

[Falcqn]

Edited:

Just posting stuff to get people's creative juices flowing!
Should be interesting to see what comes out of this.

Clientside binary modules are NOT allowed.

Hmm, this might be a problem, because I'm pretty sure you need gm_bass to detect beats in music.

Well then you just choose an example song, get it's BPM and code away, like I did.

Although, serverside modules are allowed, so I guess I could use gm_bass serverside to send beat data to all clients.

EBA/osu! using bullets fired from a weapon to hit notes
