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.

Who is gonna make it? And who's not?
I honestly don't know if I will make it, but I'm trying. And as always, I think I did the story a bit too long for an event like this...
At least we have already 5 games that we can enjoy :)

I'm determined to make it. And my story is way too long but I will cut it down for the event. I can always add to it afterwards. You can do it! Even if you started now you should be able to finish something.
I wasbusy and sick for several days,I'mnot gonna make it. Still I liked what I did do enough to guarantee continuing it outside of the event. (it would have had to be cut short if I did it for the event anyway)

Yeah that is my idea too, to cut the story. Anyway I've already done something so I won't give up now!! That's good that you're determined to make it! *POWEEEEEER*

Well, at least you did something. And if you will continue it, I will certainly play it!
So do your best ;)

Okay, did really quick background, hopefully no one judges too badly, haha..


Edit: Dem spoons be crazy!


I just saw this, this is cute!

And so much progress, woah, didn't follow much at all.
Good going guys! Yer all awesome
I won't make it. Mostly because I don't have another opportunity to work on anything until a few hours before the event ends.

I...well...i hope and think that I can put out something in time IF i continue to make daily progress.. But! The question is if it will be worth playing... I mean... Retro is something new for me and although i'm doing my best i think that the game isn't really thaaaat retro... Anyway, i hope that you will nevertheless enjoy it :)

I think mine is not retro too... I mean, it seems a normal rpg with "pixelated" graphics, that's it.Don't even know if I will post it to this event... Maybe I will just post it as a normal game here on rmn.

I will finish this - if not by the end of the event, shortly after!

I MUST. I'm having way too much fun with it.


Same. I'm actually really proud of what I have so far. It actually kinda feels to me like a professional mid-life gameboy title. :D

Second dungeon is done, complete with the scene after, which sent chills down my spine as I played it. :D All that's left in it is to arrange the encounter troops, make the second boss and balance test it.

...Which I'll do later. I'm on a roll with maps, so I want to crank out the final 5 dungeon floors so I can do all the balance and stuff in one shot.

EPIC VIDEO OF EPICNESS


HOT. !@#$ING. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!

You put me and my work to shame! :o That really DOES look professional! It's GORGEOUS!

The logic in my head is that if your game harkens to something from the SNES era, or before that, you're good. I slot my own entry as "before that", but, that's just me.

No big neat progress reports to inflate from last night, just some script changes to make how I want equipment to work to do so. I'm not entirely happy with it either, showing the damage value of each hit when each attack hits multiple times is becoming number nonsense land like FF13. I might go back and redo so it's condensed, we'll see. There'll be even less done tomorrow since my entire night is booked! I basically got the weekend to throw together a game from the scattered mess I've produced so far.

Last night's music too.

Haha, thank you!

If it weren't my buddies b-day this weekend I'd surely have it done by the end of the event. So unless there is an extension, it'll have to be right after. (Unless I somehow manage to finish the rest of it after work tonight)
AAAANNND could not muster the give-a-damn for the final floor, so I just made it a simple leadup to the final boss.

Just need to decorate the castle, setup the simple slidey puzzles and the "Patrol areas" puzzles, and all the dungeons are all done, minus treasure chests and bosses.

Hoooh. I did the entire castle dungeon in one day. That's amazing for me.

As much as I adore this project, I can't wait for it to be complete. :D

I actually used the old school modern tilesets since i thought they look pretty retro. So yeah, that counts for "before that" i think? But i only have retro graphics... I don't know if the gameplay is actually retro since i don't have a big knowledge about retro games. Still, i hope you will enjoy it although maybe it doesn't perfectly fit as a retro game.
Sounds perfectly retro to me then!

"Retro-styled can include either the gameplay, sound/music design, graphics or plot/story design."

idk, the guidelines seem to be pretty lenient :p
