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.

I...Wow. Final boss is JUUUUUUUUUST hard enough on the first shot. I think. I'm super happy about it.

Time to make the ending! :D

The timer is presumably the accurate measure. We are beholden to... someone's time zone. Probably Libby's.


Ok, so i have time until 01 am of the 12th. Thanks for the help, sooz

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

At this point, it's more attractive than making autotiles!

So. Much. Tiling. orz

Am I the only one who did a game with more dialogues than gameplay?

Oh, I can imagine.

I don't make my own stuff so I guess I prefer eventing!

Whoo all graphics for our game are done*! & The entire game is programed,(except for possibly the final boss).

*Still gotta put all the tilesets in game- gonna wake up tomorrow and do as much as I can.

I thought about making autotiles for this game and then went nah fuck that. You are truly a brave soul.
You guys are looking good. I wish I had more than the couple days I put into it. But this ended up being a super busy week.
So I gave my game a try and I can finish it in about, oh, 5 minutes.

I could have sworn it had a bit more game time than that. orz

WELP.
I still have to add an intro/title screen/music/ending but otherwise it's about done.

I am submitting my ten day entry now. Please let me know if there are any game breaking glitches.
Game updated and uploaded! Only 2 bugfixes were needed so far (super minor ones, ie the innkeepers took your money and didn't heal you), added title name to title screen, misc additions, and added some more stuff to do. All in all a fun event, but the crunch time panic still hit hard at the end, heh. Good luck to everyone last minute crunchin!

I don't even know how long mine will be but I suppose it'll probably be the same amount.

Oh Holy Hera - had to pull it all together here since I misread the deadline dates. I will say that my newfound restricted time made for an interesting design choice - one that I'm quite happy with.My Game doesn't require the rtp, but I'm too much of an idiot to know how to make it not ask for it.
