Description


The 2011 RMN Summer Games is a game-making contest, the goal of which is to make a game within one month. A theme will be announced at the start of the contest to ensure equal footing and development time for all participants, but otherwise just have fun making games!


-The contest will begin on August 1st 12:00 AM GMT and run until August 31st 11:59 PM GMT. Entries must be completed during this time frame.
-You may work with a team of any size to make a game.
-Your game may be made in any engine and may be any genre, not just an RPG.


-You ought to have permission to use all art, music, or other content. Rips will be frowned upon. How the content was created does not matter so long as you have the rights to use it.
-The game should run on Windows XP or higher. The judges should not require any additional components to play your entry.
-Show good sportsmanlike conduct towards your competitors.
-Most important rule: Have fun!


-All games will be required to loosely incorporate the theme (TBA. The theme could be anything from a setting to an abstract concept.)
-Entries started before the allotted time will be frowned upon. Entries submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. Extensions will be granted only in extraordinary circumstances. PLAN AHEAD.
-All entries will require a gameprofile.
-You must submit your entry to the event page (using the submission tools below).

Probably for the better. :p

You see, when a male and a female engage in coitus, it sometimes happens that the male will ejaculate prematurely, leaving the female unable to achieve orgasm. This event calls into question the male's virility and masculinity, and oft times leads to embarrassment of the male and dissatisfaction for the female. Hence, one should not be proud of *ahem* "finishing prematurely".

Shit. I thought it was a race all this time.
Damnit why did I have to wait until halfway through the month to properly get into this?! Making great progress, but still, damn my procrastination!!

It would end by something like : "...is nothing to be ashamed of, my boy."
No ? ok.

Same here. I haven't really started on the actual game yet. I'm still making the system and graphics. D:
I am still in the pre-conceptualization stage.

Sure.

I don't understand the theme. Can someone give me an example?

I put a few up page 4, but go on wikipedia, type surrealism on google and you'll see all you want.
I've re-entered Fire Woman since it was denied at first, can someone approve it so we can get this show on the road?

You really want an example of a surreal game? Here you go!
Some games I would consider to be Surreal:

Space Funeral
Yume Nikki
Coma
The Mirror Lied
Molasses Meow

It's definitely not the same as "weird", as I'm leaving out very weird games like The Particle of Infinite Free Will, Clock of Atonement and Passage. They're very weird, but not surreal.
Made some great progress recently, I'm quite positive I'll be able to release the finished product before the deadline! I'm really hoping these games will strike up some interesting discussions and reviews as the theme has pushed towards doing something I would never have considered otherwise.
Not long left. I really need to pick up the pace D:
You can do it NewBlack! I'm betting most of the games will be between an hour to maybe three hours tops, so don't feel as though you need to create something massive and complex!

I'm not in a fantasy world, I just want to make games.

Eomnium Project has now been entered into the contest :D All we're waiting for is for the game download to get accepted so we can finally let this project out to the masses. We at MEIJI STUDIOS are all very prud and excited!
