MERRY TEMPMAS EVERYONE!
It's that time of the year again!

We are excited to begin our 2016 tempmas competition! This year we've got an amazing prize for you: a brand new Nintendo Switch console up for grabs! Of course we haven't got our hands on a console yet so it'll actually be a preorder, but still!

So what will you have to do to enter this year? The theme is wide and leaves a lot of room for imagination: Create a short Tempmas-themed video (up to 1 minute long)

Now please carefully read the rules below if you wish to enter:
Who can enter: any registered GBAtemp user, new or old. One entry per user. No geographical restrictions.
Enter before: the 31st at 12PM (noon) UTC
Video format restrictions: video must be up to 1 minute long. Shorter is OK. Longer will be rejected. How to enter: upload your video to YouTube, DailyMotion or Filetrip and post the link in this thread.
Content restrictions: no nudity, violence, pornography, anything illegal, or against regular forum rules.

There will be a public vote (only open to certain member groups though! if you register now just to vote it's already too). Make sure to log on to GBAtemp on the first week of January to cast your vote.

Now, use your imagination to come up with something that will put a smile on everyone's face! The video can be digitally edited, created from scratch on a computer, or simply recorded with a camera (ie. record yourself singing a Tempmas song... record yourself baking a Tempmas cake... etc.).

So sorry for the awful quality but it is all I had at the time of recording and I had to pay somebody to do this.

Is the winner chosen by quality of upload or by random. *turns out it is quality*

Hi guys, I have worked really hard on this video, it's the first time that I ever do something, "animated," like this so please be kind, but the reason that I worked hard on this was because 1, it actually was fun, and 2, I wanted to share that feeling with the rest of you.

It has around 130 assets used and around a total of 250+ layers taking me around 20 hours of work.

Here are a few images of the build process:

And the video is here, enjoy :)


Happy holidays everyone and have a happy new year.

Merry Tempmas everyone! These submissions are really good so far and it's clear to me that many of us have put a ton of effort into these videos! Today I'm ready to throw mine into the mix. I tried to get this done yesterday (Tempmas eve) but Tempmas day is good as well ;).



Something to note is that this isn't video editing magic, I straight up edited ALttP and recorded the gameplay (in retrospect, it may have been easier just to use video editing!) The white on the ground is meant to be snow. This was super fun though, and I'm honestly flirting with the idea of making this an all out playable game (would anybody be interested in a Tempmas themed ALttP?) There are many more references that I wanted to jam in but the minute long time limit didn't allow for it and I had to scroll through the text pretty fast as-is!

I dont think that video editing is magic, magic makes it sound like it just apeared out of thin air, or that someone pressed a single button that edited/animated/lighting/tracked/etc.

I wish I could of had studied to go into the movie business, its something that i'm pasionate about and if you look at movies like transformers (not that i'm a fan, not a great movie either) but there are 3 second scenes that took over 2 months of editing to create.

The 1 minute time frame was small indeed, i had a lot of things that i wanted to add as well and then had to take out because there was not enough time, and people could not read fast enough. Thus I had to shrink them down to one liners that allowed people yo read them with out pausing the video. But hey, it was fun :-)

I'd actually like to play a tempmass themed zelda, if you ever do build it let me know :-).

Edit: Scratch everything, apparently Pecrow was cheating in the competition so there's no need to be sportsman like. This is also why we can't have nice things.

My entry for the Tempmas competition.


Let me know what you guys think.

I tried to think of what various tempers would be doing for the Holiday season, and decided to make an animation based on that idea.

I created 27 different animations and squeezed them into a 1 minute video. This took about 40 hours of work as I had to draw and rig 38 tempers, 27 backgrounds, and learn how to use after effects and premiere pro for the first time. I really enjoyed animating you guys, and I hope you enjoy watching my video!

The video logs great!! I guess I can start loosing hope of winning with mine, lol

I liked yours a lot too. The sprite aesthetic with shadows was awesome.

It's all down to the votes of the users. I have a feeling we'll see even more awesome videos enter the fray before the 31st.

I wonder why we are seeing so many digitally created videos and not camera recordings ? anyone with a mobile phone or a tablet can technically enter

See two posts up ;)

I was thinking the same, lots of time spent on the PC. shooting video is not easy though!

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    @The Real Jdbye, it's bed bath and beyond you nitwit
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @K3Nv2 you said instructions with pictures, same difference
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol now with 32GBs of VRAM Ken?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No IKEA shit breaks within a month bed bath and beyond goes beyond
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus pictures don't always cut it with furniture when there's like 10 different bolt styles and they're just like figure it out
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's not like how people whack it to uremums onlyfans :teach:
