Description

Friday the 13th is coming up and it coincides with the date of the next Release Something! Day! Talk about a coincidence!

So, some of you might not know what a Release Something! Day (RS!D) is. Basically, it's a day where you release something - anything! - in order to get feedback from the community. Release Something! Day used to be a regularly occurring event in the days of yore, back when the community had a sticky issue of never releasing any games or demos (because perfectionists I guess?). RS!D was created as a way to encourage sharing, collaboration, feedback, and content in the community. The aim is to truly try to capture the spirit of releasing something. It is not about prepping a major release, or making something in a fury to have something new to show for the event. It is about showing your works-in-progress, getting feedback, and checking out what other people are working on. Like a snapshot of RMN's development community.



What kinds of things can be shown? Music, tiles, sprites, graphics of any type, gameplay (videos of gameplay tests are good), tech demos, demos - even completed games (but don't strive for a finished product; that's not the point of RS!D). Let the feedback work for you. Although, there are some limitations to RMN's event profile - only game downloads can be submitted to the "official" event submission. But that's okay! I will manually compile all of the other types of submissions and update the event page.

So, some of you might not know what a Release Something! Day (RS!D) is. Basically, it's a day where you release something - anything! - in order to get feedback from the community. There will even be a podcast covering the releases.



1. If you are posting a game demo or download, make a Gameprofile (if you haven't already), upload the file, and submit the download to this event (by clicking the Submit button in the upper left)
2. If you are posting other media (like screenshots or music or graphics or videos) submit it to the site like normal and then post a link to it in the comments



There will be a badge worth 10 MS for releasing something. Best feedback givers will also get a badge worth 20 MS. Because the feedback is what counts this time.

There might even be a podcast!

So I submitted my game page last night.

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass

Also because I have an embarrassment of riches, here's a song I just uploaded for it:



You can find more music for Jimmy by checking out the music section on the game page.

Gamepage is up!


Originally we weren't planning on releasing anything until the game was done in a couple weeks' time, but I guess we could hold the secret in no longer. Next step is to murder it with my butchered attempts at css
Well, why not release something, at least?


You can find my game here, by the way.

Okay, here's mine: The Legend of Zelda: Forgotten Gates

It's in very rough form right now, can barely even be called a demo, but at least it's got several monster types and a random quest generator. :D

yeah...
Our team, Ethnic Hero Face-sets, is creating a Kickstarter campaign to provide face-sets of black and ethnic heroes/heroines. The goal is to pay the artists; but provide the rest of the world the art pack for free.

We are requesting feedback on our Kickstarter page before the campaign goes live. Here's a LINK TO OUR REQUEST on RMN. This is our submission for the Release Something event.

You can post feedback there, or on the Kickstarter preview page.

Much thanks, everyone!
Just in case the gamepage won't be up in time:
A very small rm2k3 TBS game

edit: seems to have been taken care of. page is up.

I've made a submission for Release Something! Here's my gamepage. It's not great, but it's something! That's what it's supposed to be, right? Something?
I did a lot of work and I can't even show it publicly. It's really frustrating -_-;
Can I just show it to you in PM kentona? lol

I posted it to this page as a submission, but I'm not sure if you're supposed to link it? I'll do it anyway.

I recorded the video I was submitting for this four times, and four ties I noticed some things I had to remove. I feel your pain.
It was quite a busy week for me to revive my game, but it's is finally getting into shape!

Fixed game breaking bugs, added my first puzzle, created about 6 maps (was only 1 map) and finally improved the lightning effects. It was pretty fun!

10 Minute Hero (demo)

Any feedback is welcomed! I'm starving for it ;_;


I'm watching you~

I guess I ought to post a link here too?

just in case, here's a short 15 minute Tech Demo of rm2k3 Custom Battle System submitted for contest!

Speaking of achievos, I know there's MS for helpful feedbackers and I want to give a S/O to CashmereCat for sending me a PM full of feedback on my demo!

My only issue with this screenshot is that the lighting is doing a great job of hiding this really nice mapping job. Hopefully players get to see the map during the daytime?
I'm posting my feedback on the pictures and pages if they have them, rather than all of it here. It's not as easy to track for everyone else, but the creators get to see them and that's, like, cooler.

Music! Love it. I'll lksten to more of it on your music page.


Hopefully this link works, but here's a last-minute-ish song that's being added to Last Word. I just got back the mastered version (well, it's been sitting in Dropbox for a few days un-listened-to), so I'm crossing my fingers that people think it's good. XD

Sadly there is only night time, because you need to complete your goal in 10 minutes. Some areas have windows, I've created a thunderstorm effect that lights the entire room and it happens very often.
We had hoped to get this out there much earlier today, but here is our video submission for Release Something Day 2015 of Final Fantasy Discovery, featuring three updated scenes to be included in our next release, new animated parallax maps, custom sprites, and newly added gameplay script demonstrations.

Please watch in fullscreen HD (720p)!

Also, please let us know what you think!
