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 have played 3 of the entries: Shini Sou, Chii's Challenge and Bloody Trip. They were cool. I think so far my favourite is Shini Sou, a very polished dungeon brawler.
@Sooz: I gave a look at the scene which got a problem and managed to fix it... Still... I can't update my game since the event is already closed. Anyway the thing is simple: if you want to continue playing it, you just have to not move the actor until the scene is over... The bug comes only if you move her before, therefore the "move event" would be wrong and won't allow the scene to go further since you changed the original position of the actor... I hope you understand what I mean... I'm NO good at explaining things... Figures in English!!! ToT

Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience... And thanks again for letting me know :)

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!


That makes me super happy!

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

I finished my updated version, I HIGHLY reccomend this over the event version, as that one was not quite finished and was quite buggy, but technically is still an entry. I might make a game page for it later.
HERE is a link to the updated version!

I have zero desire to make a gamepage for my entry. It's not worth the 10/15 MS.

Maybe I should have my head checked?

Yes, yes you should.

NEW DREAM QUEST DOWNLOAD!!

All art and maps in this is the final version! If you've already downloaded the game I recommend re downloading this version so your eyes will be able to view more pleasant and detailed maps.
