I've made up my mind. I'm doing the IGMC, so I'll be releasing the Tristian demo over the weekend ( since I've sprayed most of the bugs ) then I'll be able to devote my time to brain-storming the IGMC and gam-mak. The exposure will be nice as well to people outside of the RPGMaker community too. I've already decided on a theme ( sci-fi ) and an idea built around the theme of 'growth'.

I will try to keep things simple ( as last year's Team Isolation showed us so well ) and avoid complicated systems, fancy menus and battle systems. The prize money is a nice bonus ( if I convert the current amount of $10,874, I get something like over 130K in my own currency before tax... and it will be much higher than this when the sale comes to an end ) but I'm going in just for fun and to get more MS here. I also realise that my shorter games ( like Lawrence of Aragorn and Accelerated World ) were a lot more fun to play than my longer, epic-length games, so I'm definitely drawing inspiration from them both.

After all, both LoA and AW were made in the span of 2 weeks and they're both around the 1 hour mark. And I want my product to look like an RPGMaker game. The engine needs more love, after all.

So, wish me luck guys! =)
