Description

Ever wanted to make a short RPG with just one dungeon, a few enemies, and just a couple of characters? RPG's are hard to make and often feel very long-term work, and a lot of people tend to expect a longer game when playing RPG including multiple dungeons. Add that to all the databasing with enemies, items, skills, characters, towns, balancing, battle... It gets overwhelming! Even though the game is called RPG maker, I don't tend to see a lot of RPGs made in it! Let's fix that!

-You can gather assets beforehand but no actual in game work until it starts
-The game needs to have a single full dungeon, no more and no less.
-The game needs to have at least one boss battle.
-The game needs to have at least one town or some sort of safe place.
-The game needs to have a lizard. Can be a part of the story, quest, characters, mapping, mention-- and I must see it, it should not be hidden.
-Needs to be at least 10 minutes long.
-It has to be made in RPGMaker.
-I will be streaming all games mode so no copyrighted music!

Ugh. I don't know if I'm in any position to make a game right now. Otherwise I'd totally do this one, especially for Muffle's sake. Still, I might use this event to at least start something. No promises. Signing up just in case I can get anything done.

I should probably be working on my main project. However, I'll see if I can whip something silly and/or simple together for this.

I'll take a little break from Izrand to put something together for this! :DDDD It'll probably be really short and really silly XD

I appreciate the extended deadline. It'll still be a matter of cutting the fluff and putting the effort in, but I'm sure I can get at least a demo down. Something that skips an opening cutscene, and hopefully half the dungeon. Like I said, I do wanna finish this game even if it's not complete by the 28th.

I am pretty psyched for my idea, though. ;)
hi! i missed this for 2 weeks and yet i'm gonna do it
wish me luck~
Questions:
1. It must be with standard battle system (what if i want ABS)?
2. Can i publish game on other websites after submit there, before event end?

Muffle’s said on discord that it doesn’t have to be turn based battles. I’m not doing any regular encounters myself and will probably make the boss more of a minigame.

Just you know you’re meant to submit before the deadline and not after the event ends. We’ve never had an event that said it’s not okay to upload your games on other sites though, so yes you can.

Thanks!
So let me clarify a few things. This is my first event so I'm sorry if I was too vague.

1. When I say safe place it generally is meant to be for a town or camp, however the only true requirement is that there are no enemy encounters on this map. So it can even be a closet in a mansion and that'd be fine
2. The lizard can be mentioned and it does not have to be something visual. It can be something minor in the game or a major part of it.
3. The rpg elements does not have to be restricted to base Rpgmaker battles. It can be ATB, some sort of minigame, QTE, it can even be a battle solved by a puzzle. It just has to have a working battle mechanic. Battles can also be optional as long as there is one boss that is mandatory to fight.
4. While it is recommended to have working equipment/skills/consumable items like your standard rpg, I am not making this a requirement, especially since it was not an original task and because I believe a couple people's battle mechanics are unique enough to not call for such things. I'll just say you get bonus points for having these.
5. Only one dungeon, no exceptions. However there if you want more than one boss, lizard or safe place that is fine. It just requires at least one of each.
6. I will be streaming on twitch and twitch vod will be placed on YouTube. Please do NOT add copyrighted music. I will be streaming on a weekend and it will be scheduled ahead of time, for people who wish to see their submission played you can let me know ahead of time if there's a certain time you'll be around and I can postpone your game, otherwise I will be playing in submission order.
7. You do NOT need a game page for this event. It's a small event and a lot of people are memeing, if you just want to throw it on the event submission and be done that's fine. You are also free to upload it on other sites other than rmn.
8. I have updated the gamepage to allow multiple submissions in case anyone is interested and has time for multiple entries. I will be playing all entries so don't worry about second entries being excluded. Also we ARE running on extended time, it now officially ends the 28th instead of the original 22nd date.

lmk if there's anymore confusions or questions.
I work on the weekends unfortunately. I get off work at roughly 7:30pm pacific time, and I understand you're in eastern time zone. I hope it won't be too much of an issue for your sleep schedule.
There is a song that is used in the starting area that's on the homestuck fan-album Land of Fans and Music volume 2. I'm assuming its obscure enough to not get you dinged, I assume.

Look forward to a gam from me soon!

Good luck! It says the event started on Mar 8, but I don't think it actually got posted until later. The first post was on Mar 15, and it would be pretty surprising if NO ONE posted anything for the first week.

There was an unofficial thread about this event that was up well before it started, but this official event page wasn't up until after the first week that it started. So anyone that found the event through the official event page lost the first week of progress which is why I extended it to a third week. It was not something intentional, I was put into an in patient hospital and was just gone.
Strange question, but...
Dungeon must be created on one map, or can consist of separate maps aka "rooms"?
From what I've seen, multi-room/multi-map is allowed, I've seen both single map and multi map setups from the group.

Due to real life issues, mine got cut short. But it still fits all the criteria, it just ends after the first boss, so I went ahead and submitted it XD;;;;
I finished too, the "ALWBAW".
Game can have some non-critical bugs, and translated by Google Translate...
But you are welcome!
