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.

Dream Quest is my current favorite, btw. Still haven't got the third download...


:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD THANK YOU!

I'm just getting around to playing the games (today was surprisingly busy) but I'll definitely be playing yours! ^_____^

Played Retro Geemu . It was brilliantly funny and super tight. It's tied with Shini Sou for my fave. But I have only played 4.

Yeah...I wasn't particularly fond of Shini Sou, actually. I thought Dream Quest and A Drop of Life were both better. Still have yet to play mirak's game, though, and I'm hearing good stuff about it.

illy bartsol pls have mercy

these random encounters are destroying my family OTL

wat do I do
nobody likes rando encounters
but the party needs xp T.T

maybe I'll make the maps bottleneck with enemy encounters visible on the map ala Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

but then running away will be useless D:

Edit: owait, this gives me an idea

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...
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!


asdfghjkl thanks for playing ; w ;
Updated Legends of Perren: Task of Malice to 1.03. Please use this version instead. It has more stuffs and a couple bug fixes. Your save file should be compatible, just copy over the .lsd save file to the new folder.
Wow! Everyone actually submitted? ! This not RPG maker net community...?!
Oh, the ones that didn't submit get cut from the list (you can see them if you hit the toggle entries button at the top of the list). ^.^

We got a total 36/61, which is over half~
Doublepost for good reason.


Last night's session. Got around to playing (in order of play):
- Chii's Challenge
- A Drop of Life
- Bloody Trip
- Faxanadog
- Wrath of the Tea Kitten
- Shin Sou
- Legend of Perren (ongoing)

Also, I'm making a "hour limit" where if a game is long, I'll stop around the hour mark and play the rest later. That way I can play through the short ones first and then get back to the longer ones, making headway through the list.

Next stream is in about 3 hours.

Cool!!! The stream is on youtube! I will watch it as soon as I come home!!! Libby, will you play the games which don't have a gamepage too? Because if not i will make one, since i'm really looking forward about you playing my game :)
I've downloaded all the ones on this event page, and will be playing those versions of them, so basically, yeah. ^.^
