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.

It's very simple though. Btw because my game's submission hasn't been accepted yet, I'm using other site for the gamepage until it's accepted here.

@Kanatakkun]: Oh, good. Your game has been submitted to the event-page. The way your post came across, I thought you might have missed that detail! That should be all you need, as far as this event is concerned.

Umm no I shared the gamepage link for error or bug reports. There's a bit problem with my connection here, sometimes rpgmakernet is suddenly blocked, that's why I put that link as alternate contact to me. ._. I know I only need to submit the game here.
Sorry for that! >_<
After I'm done typing up some stuff to conclude last night's LARP conclusion, I'm going to get back to work and try to finish balancing Dungeon 3 by the end of today.

With that done, I'll be in the polishing phase. :D

Game removed. It throws a "need rtp" error. What the fuck.
I'll have to figure this out

EDIT: And now after editing the INI file a "need x font" error pops up.
After i fix this i wonder what other fuckery will pop up?

I knew vx ace couldn't be that convenient. There's always some fuckery about.

EDIT2:


WHAT THE FUCK MAN?
I don't.. What...
I REMOVED that tileset from the database, WHY THE FUCK does it ask for it????

NO ENTRY IN THE DATABASE USES THIS TILESET!

Oh my god this is so fucking stressing.

EDIT3: I followed the tutorials about how to make the game rtp independent and it still throws errors, they didn't help, what am i supposed to do now? Am i seriously going to have to pack the RTP with it?? The game weighs less than 10MB and now it's going to weigh 200?? This sucks man...
Am I the only one who did a game with more dialogues than gameplay?

why would i heal when i could equip a morningstar

Try going into Game.ini and changing

[Game]
RTP=RPGVXAce
Library=System\RGSS301.dll
Scripts=Data\Scripts.rvdata2
Title=My1stGame.exe Test Build v.034

so the RTP line is just RTP=

that sohuld do it? nothing in the default code calls for World_B so.

nobody: pretty sure piano did? except "gameplay" gets ambiguous for VNs

Progress is steady on mine. I think I can finish this quick thing off by deadline. Gonna make about 6 roughly drawn enemy graphics. Need to make some maps, but the style I'm going for should be fast. Two songs left to make, but that should go fast.

I did that! I even added the FullPackageFlag = true flag at the end, at startup it still calls that error. I really really don't have that tileset in the database anywhere!

THEN, i tried erasing the RTP= line completely because one of the tutorials here on RMN says you have to delete it if you're using the steam version of Ace, and so i did, but it STILLS calls that error.

I'm so sad.

Very odd. Maybe try copying and renaming any old tileset to World_B, then importing it into the project it and seeing what happens?

Tsukihime's resource-checker is a thing I've used since I've found the thing for VX Ace games. I could swear I posted about an edit I made to it to allow it to capture even more things, well, somewhere!

Tsukihime's resource-checker(with a few edits) and create a self-extracting executable that has the necessary RTP files with it.

*Edit: Yes, a self-extracting executable would be produced via the Compress Data option.
I'm finally done with my Crown of Glass: the last 2 reviews are pending. So I'm a bit late for the party... but the 10H challenge is just what I need!

Well, Frogge just abandoned my team, not that it's gonna hurt me, we didn't make anything yet. D:

I might just give up at this point or make a game all alone, I'll see yet.

Also, I don't blame Frogge, we were only talking about memes and weren't getting anything done xD
Got my demo up. Hopefully I can actually finish the bloody thing within another week or two!

Thanks to that resource checker Marrend mentioned i could make the game RTP independent.

I am happy again!

Resubmitting now.
Can now play the whole game through, just need to add the number crunching and endings and add the music/SE.
Game is technically finished and uploaded...but found a couple bugs. Ie, the first 2 inns don't recover your health. >.> Good thing I have time to make a quick 1.1 version today....Huzzah...
