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'm already enjoying the games. Been through Pianotm's "Grimm detective" one, which was pretty cool, if obtuse at times, and the Infiltration game by Roger_Ln which was pretty interesting (Got a rank of 4/6, did it in like 4 days, pretty nifty)


Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
author=zDS
Congrats everyone! While I'm super happy you guys made a bunch of stuff, WHERE WERE YOU DURING MCBACON JAM 4??

Seriously though, lots of these look awesome. Look forward to playing and or watching Liberty play them!


I was slowly dying from stress and an overdose of advanced mathematics (Ordinary differential equations), as well as doing an advanced game dev class. ;_;

I am looking forward to playing more of the ones here too. :D

Going to start downloading when I get home! I need to get the game page up and was starting it on my phone earlier when my phone died x.x

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

I am proud of everyone who submitted!

I am also proud of everyone who tried!

I am additionally proud of everyone who couldn't participate because of other responsibilities!

Great job, everyone!

And now it's officially over.

GUD JAWB GUISE
Good job everyone!

I'm playing dem slowly orz
Dang, that's a lot of entries! That's a lot more than I thought there'd be, congrats to everybody who submitted!

Final retro farewell
It didn't set in that people will be playing my game until a few hours ago and now I have a sense of irrational dread :'(
I unlocked the page for someone who was having uploading issues. I'll lock it back up after they're done with that. If you need to update something quickly this is your only chance!
I was naughty and didn't finish, but I am super eager to play these games! Good job, guys!
And done! Great job, one and all!

I started making something when we had like 7 hours left but then Cards Against Humanity happened.

Yo Make it Magik I got about 15 mins into your game and did the lever puzzle and after Miss Sassypants complained about things, I suddenly got stuck and couldn't move at all. Here's a screenshot in case it means anything to you.



Hey sooz! First of all thanks for playing!!! I hope you have enjoyed the game sofar :)

Hmmm... Actually it should have worked... ToT
I tested that scene all over again (which took so much time that i couldn't test other things)... I think there is a problem with the "move hero" event (i made that the hero should have walked by itself which then would have triggered a cutscene). Anyway i will give it a look as soon as i will be home, since now i'm at school. Thanks for letting me know :)

There are sooooo much games here guys!!! Well done!!! >u<

I've still got no gamepage up, does that mean that Libby won't play my game? That would be a pity since I always look forward to Libby's streams...

PS:
author=Sooz
Do not worry, this is expected of event games!
Testing is for AFTER the deadline panic!

author=Delsin7
And if anyone complains just say you learned gam mak from the School of Bethesda. *drops cymbals and runs off*

Sorry guys for answering only now... I didn't see your comment! Anyway, thanks for the support!!! It really means a lot to me ^u^

I don't imagine she would skip out on entries that don't have a page, she'll probably get to 'em once she plays through the ones that do!

Anyway, I can now say that I've tried just about every game (except for fiddle & seiro's games, idk how to get them to work)!

(Favorites)
Tie between
-Mirak's Retro Geemu: Found this one to be the most humorous and well paced, fun times all around from start to finish!
-Ocean's Cast Ashore: Love the aesthetics (and also everything else)! Really felt like it was going somewhere super cool until the darn game cut short ; - ;

(More Favorites?)
-Grimm Investigations: Great art, interesting characters, and that extra ending is really something else!
-Dream Quest: Very solid game overall and super cute designs, much kudos to both devs on this one!
-Faxanadog: BALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALlBALLBALLBALLBALL
-Dwoemer of the Drill Faced Goddess: What a way with words! Teach me some time ;j
-Locked Heart: Most anime / Most emotional!

illy bartsol pls have mercy

these random encounters are destroying my family OTL

You should've seen the game before I lowered the encounter rate from 1/2 to 1/5... ^.^'
To be honest, I got a bit frustrated with random encounters too during playtesting, but I didn't have enough time to fine-tune everything. Oh well, at least the encounters aren't as bad as last year =3

How do we play your games? What's required to play them? I assume some kind of software since they don't work in and of themselves (as far as I can see).


Ah, I think I found it. Zelda Classic and SMBX (both on the Engines page, both free to download).

I should probably make sure in future to note that games should be playable without extra downloading necessary. I'll try to remember that. XD
Congrats everyone! I worked on my map a bit more yesterday but for some reason it was having random idiot moments where tiles that should be walkable were not. So I finally quit in disgust and ran a D&D game instead.

However I really enjoyed working with Time Fantasy graphics and plan on playing with Radiant Shields more whenever I have time and need to take a break from Legion Saga.
