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
* 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!!)

Close1. Progress Report (based on last week's goals)
Still not sure how the main portion of the game will play. Uh oh
I've almost done the intro sequence though! Should have completed it by the end of the day, Champion's League match notwithstanding.
2. Goals for next week
Have yet to design a title screen so I'll get to that. If I have enough material I also plan to set up a gameprofile (My very first on RMN...).
3. Your likelihood of completing your submission in time
Zilch. I'll definitely have something playable by the 16th, just far from a full game.

1. Progress Report (based on last week's goals)
I remapped and recoded one of the two maps in the last part of the game, added a boss fight. Finished all the mechanical levels of DSRC and started the Ruins.
I keep procrastinating with the blasted limit breaks, ugh. There were a couple of other things, such as event-coding the materia de-equip menu, and I planned out a couple of limit breaks as well.
2. Goals for next week
I begin holidays Friday. I should be able to get lots of work done so:
-finish off AT LEAST Kumo and Levi's limit breaks completely, and aim to finishing the sprites for Shadz and Kyer.
-Sprite at least three enemies (lets make it Ultima Weapon, Tri-Face, and Marlboro)
-Begin adding the map details to the Ruins
-Finish the story and events in DSRC (aka, finish DSRC except for the Troops)
3. Your likelyhood of completing your submission in time
If I get off my ass and finish the limit breaks, sure. Won't take me long to complete the rest of the sidequests, a couple of days of hard slog. But testing?
Probably not. I could release, but it'd be buggy as hell (probably nothing game breaking except for...ONE SCRIPT ERROR *shakes fist* and a mysterious one in the Terminal that I must look into.) Let's put it at 75%.

PRogress report; got some of the resources and story done. Figured out how my attack system should work, but still haven;t found battle sprites i like for two of the characters; (Stop being a perfectionist!)
I may have something in in time, bt first i had better do my taxes.

2. Goals for next week
Finish the menu
Finish up to a certain point of the game.
3. Your likelyhood of completing your submission in time

which translates to... Highly unlikely. :D

I only made one character from scratch during last week, so yeah I'm not progressing so well.
Chances of making the deadline are now at 0.1%. :P
Chances of making the deadline are now at 0.1%. :P
I've only gathered a few items, and not put anything together yet, but I'm not pulling out, even if it ends with my having nothing to show. Even attempting to participate in this is a step forward for me and it fuels my determination to continue attempting to transform my ideas into games... I may post the sprites I did at least.
On that note. . .
Please, Yell, show us what you do have- the praise you're sure to receive will do wonders for your soul. It's perfectly safe for you to show us half-finished work- I'm quite certain any fools have been driven off long ago.

making a gam in 12 daysI'm just going to pass this off as a late april fools joke rather than make up an excuse.
I am trying! I swear! Sleep keeps getting in the way!
(Plus I am totally pixel drained and that's almost all the work that's left. :<)

Hey, we college folks are really busy at this time! >_< I need to prep for a speech tomorrow, and next week I have another speech and four papers due.
But I pretty much said "fuck it" to my needlessly excessive quality control and I'm getting ready to put up a gamepage or two here...
(What a coincidence, this zenhabits article went live today! Just wanted to link to it in case it helps someone, haha.)
