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.

Don't play the one I've uploaded, it's broken and unfinished, I just uploaded it as I know I won't be able to finish in time, and I plan to finish it tomorrow, so I can provide a link then.

Just need to add the various endings and I'm done. Got my game page in early this time!
You can't submit anything. Think of your quads!


Yeah, I am pretty broken up about ruining that number now. :(

Mine is uploaded and submit. Didn't want to double post though.
Pretty sure i won't finish... Like always afterall ToT
Anyway, i think i will still post it since it's not that bad... I think? The only thing that couldn't fix is that some of the messages in battles are still in italian... I don't know how to fix that...
Well I wasn't to far off finishing (with major content cuts).
If only the contest has been a week earlier on my week off but nevermind, really enjoying working on the project so will probably try and finish it.

Have a couple of screenshots of the character creator anyway.

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

I've run outta ideas at world 5

oh well, guess that's that then.
Go guy! You can mak gam! *Channels inner Kloe, because she's asleep.*

Even if its not perfect or you have some bugs you should still show it off. o3o More games is more fun!
I...Think I'm done.

There's still a tiny handful of things that are missing or could be done better (Loot from chests, extra dialogue, etc), but it's still a complete game.

I think I'm just going to do a few last touch-ups and then upload it.
Yeah I'm out. I just didn't find the time to work on this. I ended up changing my winter tires (finally, in June! They were on our seldom used second car) and fixed a flat. I got farther than I've gotten before recently, though. Maybe I will actually make something of this one day.

Oh well.

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

Everyone, keep up the pace! Even if you don't finish, you're doing great work! Go as far as you can!

Also yay Kentona, be productive! :D

Submitted, just in time!

I didn't have time to check over the entire thing for bugs, though :x
Let me know if anything isn't working.

The timer says there are two hours left, i'm pretty sure i have the right timezone settings..

GO PEOPLE
dammit no. something is refusing to compress. :( I think an audio file is corrupted

EDIT: aaaaaaand somehow fixed it. 0_o That was a scare
Good luck with getting your game finished in time, everyone who isn't quite done!

About 40% of teams have submitted something! Woooo!

Keep up the work, the rest of y'all! Submit something too! It'll be great even if it's not a complete gam! DOOOO IIIIT!

^Yes!

You can always finish it later :)
AAAAAND DONE!

*slams the little blue cube representing his game onto the table*

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you, CURSED CROWN (Version 0.9)!

May the blood, sweat and tears I shed over the last 10 days shed plenty from you! :D (it's a hard game).

There's just a tiny handful of stuff that I want to add to the full game (alchemy system, a bit more townspeople and dialogue, and new game +) but aside from that, everything I wanted to put in the game made it in, and works pretty damn well. I'm really proud of how much I was able to accomplish in just 10 days. :)
So guys... My game is also uploaded...

Unfortunately I didn't test it (I'm sure there will be a thousand of bugs ToT) since tomorrow is school and I have to sleep... it's not a SUPER game, so... please don't expect anything from it *ashamed of myself* (O///.///O)

I will definitely complete it after the event, since I had so much fun! Yeah, at the beginning I was completely against it but now... I think RETRO isn't that bad! It was something new and I really enjoyed it! >u<

Thanks for the event guys! And good luck to all those who are trying to finish in these last hours! GO GO GO!
