So who's up for this

I was thinking about this sites closure and decided that the most important thing about RMN for me was how it consistently got me up off my ass to actually make and release games. Whether for Action 52 or Shinan's contest or the various seasonal gamemaking contests I pretty consistently had a blast in trying to put together and release something under a deadline while also seeing what the other cool_dudes taking part would come up with. I think even beyond forumchats and recieving crits etc this kind of activity was what attracted me most to the site and was actually what made me join in the first place! And I thought it would be a fitting farewell kinda to use the forums closure as yet another excuse to hunker down and be productive.

So yeah if anyone is interested the aim is to release a full game before the forum implodes. This gives you a month!! to get something out. so you have until april 2.

If anyone's interested in judging what gets released etc then we can make an actual contest out of this sucker. It's not an official contest or whatever. You can use any engine or materials etc so 'go ape' as they say.

Themes are optional but in case you need one I would suggest: RAD DOGS

remember: "forums are temporary... finished games are forever" - dark_nietzsche_666


The Site Isn't Closing Down
...however the the sentiment of completing games is a good one. Working against a deadline with other chaps in a "last gasp" game drive whilst sharing crits and encouragement is something worth doing, I believe.

So I am making an official event out of this sucker.

Rules
* Complete a game by April 2nd 16th
* Use a gameprofile download as your entry
* It doesn't have to be a new game - you can take one of your existing projects and finish it off

Theme
* RAD DOGS
* Theme is optional

Minutiae
* We don't have judges or a contest or anything, but if you want to be a judge let me know and I can add you!
* Participants who submit a completed game will get a nifty Rad Dog achievement (makerscore!!)

"Generica : TNG Wakka Wakka?" IS Fozzie in there/ OH excuse me that's "wocka wocka wocka."


I'm thinking of doing a game focusing on a squad of people tasked to protect order and crush any subversives,set in not-so-distant dictatorial future . Your goal will be to capture all the freedom fighters and secure your master's regime.

Oh and . . .

i already know geodude won't be entering anything... if you have to enter via gameprofile download, that would require him EARNING MAKERSCORE(!!!)
*gives geodude the Negatory achievement, with negative makerscore*

Oh c'mon whatcha guys got against him?
I may well go forward with the current plot but i9t's gotten hairy.
@ Burning Tyger: 0 Makerscore means "contributed nothing". And RMN's #1 slogan is "Contribute lots!" Lots is the opposite of nothing.
MORE NUMBERS. MORE POWER.
i contribute lots! only every time i draw them i end up with the short straw
You contribute posthunting. What the hell do you think the "edit"-button is for?
system redundancy

Children, children, children. . . now play nice.

OK, I'm still cooking up plot but I have apretty good idea of waht;s going on . The main characters are Midori, a green-haired girl who runs a juice bar, Aoi, a blue-haired cyborg singer who runs the club World's End with his love Murasaki, the mysterious, golden-haired twins Renji and Kura ,and Red Alice the mass murderer. How are they connected? Who is "Aniki," and what is "Project Wonderland"?"

The "actors" for these characters are likely to be familiar, and you may be able to figure some bits out already from the facts I've given.

I just noticed (not deliberate) one of the characters from my game is a rad dog! More like... a vampire wolf. :D Yay for sticking to the themes.

Instead of a rad dog I have a guy with a tomato for a head I hope this is permissable
Rules

* No guys with tomato heads as characters unless they're wearing backwards undies

As has Hitobashira Alice- but not in conjunction with other songs
This idea combines at least 4 songs into one setting. A vegetable juice salesgirl , a murderer-criminal who left a red path , a blue-haired singer with "scissorhands" who runs a "World's End" dance hall and "is a rose", all brought together by a smart brother and a stubborn sister? Now it gets interesting.

for those who havent started on a game your just about out of time to start a good game people who take too long to get a good idea and they dont know how to make a proper game im just saying it would be a little difficult and sorry for being a noob
