Title: The FGM Suggestion Thread
Post by: tehjman1993 on March 11, 2015, 07:05:31 PM
Hello everyone,

Ever thought of a giant fangaming marathon? Of course you have, don't be silly. But what if this became a reality? What if we had one stream where 10's (maybe 100's Kappa) of runners can play though their favorite fan games as quickly as possible, back-to-back! It would be our own marathon that's open to all skill levels, all fangames, and more importantly, ANYONE to watch! I think this would open our community up to players who are "afraid" to play fangames, as well as expose what we're all about - playing guy games.

This is where we had the great idea of FGM - Fan Games Marathon. Although we have nothing set in stone yet, this purpose of this thread is to suggest fangames you would love to see run at a marathon, either to play or to watch. Keep the ENTIRE community in mind - "pros" and "noobs" alike!

I'll start us off with a few easy ones that I think would be easy to commentate and are enjoyable to watch:

I wanna be the Dark Blue
I wanna be the GReeeeeN
I wanna Kill the Kamilia 2
I wanna be the Boshy
I wanna Get Cultured
I wanna Get Rekt (no bias Kappa)
I wanna get the Yellow Star
I wanna beat the Random Numbers

...and so on. List your list here! I just want to clarify that this is not a "real" event yet, as this is merely just an idea that was floating around. If we can pick up speed for this idea, we can turn it into a reality. Let's do it!

Edit: Here is a tenative list that pieceofcheese set us up:

Please don't troll this list ;;

Edit2: Renamed marathon from FGDQ to FGM for legal reasons.

Already mentioned it on Twitter, but the 2nd anniversary of the Wannabe twitch team is on the 13th or 15th of June (not sure, it was 1 day before or after my Birthday :P)

Could be a nice thing to set up as a special.

(I mentioned it Kappa)

But yeah this would fall perfectly for a anniversary marathon stream!

Also sword - we could certainly use a needle game like that!

For anyone adding to the list: make sure to ctrl+f whatever game you're about to add before you add it, so there aren't duplicates all over the place.

If we do this, we should find a charity to sponsor.

I plan on routing it, maybe today or tomorrow, I've been caught up with other shit.

I would like to see this idea in motion, my only issue with it is trying to get people excited for it, idk maybe big channels or so can advertise this? This is really my only issue, no one is going to come to an event where they had no idea it was happening in the first place if you know what i mean, if we can find a way around this then count me in.

It would be nice if some game makers would work on a short collaboration game that people can blind run during the event.

Not sure if people want to spend the time on that though.

If you wanted to raise money for charity, I could provide one.  My school hosts a dance for the B+ foundation which reaches out for kids with cancer.  Im just putting it put there as a possible charity to donate to. I wont go into detail since I dont want to seem like im forcing this on.

Before any talk of donation incentives or charities, I think its best to get a solid list/schedule down. These things can be worked out later :)

Sounds like a really good idea.

Would do NANG (true/bad end), Daburyu AND Wannyaaaaaa.

Just as a heads up - we want as many submissions as possible on either here or the spreadsheet! Of course, not every fangame may make "the cut", however, we need as large of a pool to pick from as possible. Races are certainly going to be featured.

Great job so far, but keep 'em coming!

I like this idea. Would be willing to help work on a project like this as well.

Don't be that guy. Do all 3 :4Head:.

Another idea I had is that game makers could show off how to use game maker for an hour or so, as that attracts a whole different kind of people.

Keep adding them! We have quite a list here, but we need as many as possible!

I was thinking i could do a kill the needle games 2 run of some sort.  I really like that game and and pretty damn fast at it, as well as it being one of the most enjoyable needle games to watch.

I think leaving this up for one more day for last suggestions would be good.

If you have ANY ideas that have not already been listed, please do so now. After this suggestion phase, I think moving into an organization/cut phase is appropriate. Games will be approved, cut, and waitlisted (bonus?). Approved games will then be organized and assigned.
