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.

Does anyone know how long submitting typically takes? It's just loading for ages and this is making me worried. >_>.
You can skip the gameprofile for this event, just go to Submit->Choose File and submit the zip/rar/7zp/etc. of your game.

I want to play all the games and review them at least. A Let's Play series is possible but not guaranteed. I missed out on Review Kingdom because of this and other things, but I mean to make up for it by reviewing every game here with a gamepage.

I went to the submit button where you browse and choose the file and I clicked subimit entry and for like 20 mins it's been loading, and the tab just says "connecting . . ." and has a blue swirly thing.
I uploaded what is essentially not a game. o)-<

How slow is your internet and how big is your game?

I think Faxanadog took a few minutes.

What GRS said.

Also, for uploading to your game page, it depends on how large your file is. My full sized games usually take two hours. Thankfully, the one for this event was 11 MBs so it only took two minutes, but yeah, it can take quite awhile.

Maybe Libby can extend the deadline a couple hours so that people who had problems like yours can try again. She usually does.

Congratulations to everyone who made it!

@RavenBlueIndigo The event ended so you can't submit anymore.

Also, @Sooz it depends on how you set your GMT offset in Settings. In the winter I'm at GMT -6 and in the summer it's GMT -5 (for daylight saving time). I hadn't changed it from the winter settings so the clock was an hour off for me. I thought it was possible that Aegix had some kind of setting like that too or something.
