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.

This event ruined me. RUINED ME! Now all I want to do is work with Time Fantasy tiles. -_-


Now you can never get married!
AUGH. I'm going back over my game, and SO. MANY. EMBARRASSING. TYPOS!

;_; Man, I thought I was better than that at this point.

I found a game breaking bug in my entry. Guhhhh.
Special thanks to FireFly84 for finding some more bugs. Please use 1.04 as it fixes gargoyle priority, 1 whirlpool mis-transfer, and an infinite item bug.

I am not 100% sure if the whirlpool bug prevents completion, but it prevents movement.

Also added a save menu access to the giant headstone in Tower of Death.(The tower you start the game in.) This 'should' make your save file to transer, the .lsd files, easier to find and transfer to the new folder.
Just doing one last test run of my game and it should be ready for proper release. New Game + seems to work well, I've made a few more balance changes and all the extra dialogue is in...

But I'm super conflicted about my alchemy system. I've axed it entirely, as the balance of the grind of the game is pretty good as-is, and implementing the ability to get free medical items and stuff seems like it would either be TOO good and really tilt the balance too much in the player's favor, or it's be nearly useless.

On the other hand, the dungeons feel a teeny bit empty without lots of random items lying on the floor enticing you to pick them up for later use. >_>
Tuesday night's stream in no particular order:

Fixed a transfer bug, thanks Firefly84. This one wasn't my fault tho! The power went out before I had saved. (I thought I had, then I went to go do something quick...either bathroom or grab food and then BAM!) Updated the 1.04 download file.
The updated/fixed version of Cursed Crown will likely be uploaded tomorrow night.

I just need to do one final sweep to make sure that one of the new game + retention options works, and it'll be up.

I wound up implementing the alchemy system in the end. It ends up taking a slight edge off the supply purchases, but it's only a slight help, which ends up being fine.
Thank you Liberty for playing my PONG game. You played well knowing there were a few bugs left that gave the AI an unfair advantage. I fixed them in the gamepage download.

Everyone, what do you think about using the event makerscore icon in the game page of the game you made for the event?

All you have to do is add the following to your game CSS:

div.makerscore {
background:url("https://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/105/locker/retrom.png") no-repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
}

That's a very nice idea, Irog! Thanks!
I still don't have any gamepage up, but i will definitely make one as soon as my game is finished and polished

Is it sad that Irog's post is what it took for me to sumbit a gamepage for my entry?

Stand back. Artist at work. I paint with enthusiasm if not with talent.

awesome thanks
At least with a gamepage, you'll have the opportunity to share your creation. And for me, the gamepage gave me the opportunity to fix the bugs that made Liberty play an unfair pong match.
AAAAAND the fully completed version of my entry CURSED CROWN is now up!

https://rpgmaker.net/games/9856/

Now with New Game + and Alchemy Action! :D If you haven't started my entry yet (and I'm assuming that's all of you), this is the definitive version for now. :)
@Irog: You're awesome, buddy!

@Aegix: Congrats to completion!

For my fellow Game Boy boys, use this icon to maximize the retro aesthetic on your game-page(s):

This time we got through (in order):
The Legend of Pokemon Fantasy
Dumb Castle
2.5 Minutes
Phantasmogoria of Failing Desires
Dungeonbound
Cursed Crown
Draught
Dream Quest
Libby Streams should be on the RMN TV spot. One by one, for 3-4 days apiece.
