Description

Holy hello! It's been 10 years already of the current site being up and around so it's time to celebrate!


Wow, 10 years... A lot of us weren't here ten years ago (myself included) and in that time we've seen so many faces come and go. So much talent, drive, initiative and invention. An incredible amount of dreams coming true, people pulling through and crafting, creation and positivity.

We've all grown as people, all helped craft a community where being open and friendly is the goal, and shared our hopes and dreams with each other, no matter where we come from or how old we are. And some of us are pretty damn old. ;p

Which brings us to the crux of this event - RMN is getting old, so let's reflect a while on where we came from and what inspired us to become game developers in the first place - whether it be hobbyist, professional or somewhere in-between. It's time to put on those nostalgia glasses and go back to where it all began. It's time to go...



A I M
The aim of this event is to create a simple retro-styled game over 10 days in celebration of RMN's 10th birthday!

Retro-styled can include either the gameplay, sound/music design, graphics or plot/story design. There are many games out there that count as retro, in different genres and with different visuals, so don't think you need to make a FF1 look-alike in order to hit the theme. Early Sonic, Mario, Leisure Suit Larry, Tetris, Zelda, Contra, Kirby, Megaman, Donkey Kong, Pong, Bomberman, Castlevania, Carmen Sandiago, Street Fighter, Alex the Kidd, Pacman... these are all games that hit the mark for retro. So don't feel as though you're limited to just jRPGs in this.

Here's a few sites where you can get a good idea of what Retro may mean:

R U L E S
- You may start making your game on Saturday 3rd of June.
- Games must be completed before Monday the 12th of June.
- You may start collecting ideas, graphics, etc before the starting date, but no actually starting the game itself (in engine).
- Open to any engine, genre, etc as long as it abides by site rules.
- You may create a game page for the game, but to submit you will need to upload the file itself to the event page. Check FAQ for a how-to guide on submitting to the event.
- The game must abide by the theme of the event.

B O N U S
If you'd like to, there's a bonus challenge of making a game in 10 hours instead of 10 days. What this means is you must create the game within 10 hours over the course of the 10 day period, but that you can only use 10 hours of game development to make the game in. Again, it should abide by the theme of the event, and site rules regarding games. If you do take part in this challenge, make sure to note in the title of your game download that it's a 10 hour game by using the 10H tag.


Here's a Playlist of the gamepages that have been created for games from this event: https://rpgmaker.net/users/Liberty/playlists/72180/


F A Q
Only one gam?
Nope! You can go for more than one game, or be part of a team in one game and make your own personal game too. Hell, make a 10 day game and a 10 hour game! Go for gold!


How does resource???


How do I submit my game to the event?
Make sure that you have the game folder compressed in some way. You can do this a few ways. If the engine you use has an auto-compiler, that is one way. If it does not, download a free program like 7zip and right-mouse click on the folder the game is in, choosing the Compress Folder/Create Self-Extractor choice.

Ultimately you need a single file that holds all of your game's data, resources and misc to upload. Then on this page hit Submit in the top-right. Choose Browse to find your file and then submit it for upload. Leave the page open until it redirects to another page. Your game is now accepted to this event.

Wow. I am really considering not coming to this thread so I don't get discouraged by how good everyone else's stuff is. Be back after the event!
If it makes you feel better I will post my progress screens! Spoilers it is just some Ace RTP shit.
You guys are animals. I'm still ripping resources, never mind formatting, and I started last week D: Hope I don't run out of time.

By the way - is there a way to make like a completely blank game in VXAce, that doesn't include any of the rtp or anything? Don't need any of it, but it's always loaded up and kind of a pain in the butt to get rid of.

Open the folder and change the .ini file. RTP= RPGVXAce After the equal sign delete the rest of the line. At the bottom include this: FullPackageFlag=true

https://rpgmaker.net/tutorials/1337/

If you don't use any of that stuff, you can just not include it.
Make sure lo check your database after though to make sure nothing is being used.

LockeZ, what are you talking about?

Finished my game, now on the event page! Hopefully there aren't any stupid bugs that will suddenly appear e_e

There are twenty such bugs, five of which you will be unable to replicate, despite them affecting a quarter of your audience.

I feel ya
My progress is I made three poopy sprites and typed some stuff into a text document and read about the nutritional qualities of bok choy, so I'm basically on pace to do this thang, right?

More mapping. Guards chase after you when you enter their line of sight. Sometimes you'll have to get their attention to draw them away from places you need to go.

The prophecy came true, I need to update the game with some fixed bugs, some of which are game breaking -_-

EDIT: OKAY, everything should be fixed now!
I wish I had known about this sooner :(

MMm...Mead.... ^_^ I have some in the fridge maybe I should have some later...

On progress note UUUUGGGHHHHH, I stayed up until 2 doing a test run of the first dungeon, top to bottom.

I REALLY need to adjust the encounter rate (too damn high), the actual encounters (Too many long fights), give out some more gold per fight (It's close to great, but just a little too little) and then seed some treasure chests in there. That test run was no longer fun by the end, and that will. Not. Fly.

Mind you, I did do most of it with definitely a non-optimal party for dungeon crawling. The KNIGHT is a pretty good tank, but he's not that great at damage, and the CLERIC is great for sustaining yourself, but taking both at once in a non-boss scenario left me with a lot less damage than I wanted.

I think I'll need to slightly spruce up the NINJA'S damage spell, and make the hero's "condemn" skill (bonus on finishing enemies) more powerful when successful...Attack buff on top of a bonus action? Two bonus actions? :s

Y'all need to sleep. If you try to work when you're tired, you're gonna fuck up and miss important shit, and then you'll have to spend more time fixing it later.

But don't sleep for two days. Then you'll find your schedule of one world a day is fucked.
