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).

Noting that pyrodoom is still at 0 markerscore, where's his game at? I thought it was accepted?

Makerscore is updated nightly.

So my internet got disconnected for 24 hours and I ended up getting a whole load of stuff done. There's a moral there.

How's everyone doing? Not long left now. I know I'm worried.

A bit behind by my view. To make matters worse, the school year has just started for me. >_>
I'm out.
Custom graphics take longer than I thought :x I didn't get nearly as much as I wanted to get done, and my IRL schedule is about to get busier.
I'm better suited for shorter contests. Also, the theme was a bummer for me >:(
Barely on schedule, but there. We should put a game page up, but I want to get some more screenshots of the surreal aspect first (and a titlescreen.)

We should have something done by the end.
I think phase 5 just got bumped up to phase 3.3.5

(phase chart took a while to write up....)
I might have to cut a boss to make schedule, but we'll see.

Though I do understand, I think it's weird that people get behind when working on longer schedules, but they organize themselves better in shorter events. That's actually the reason why people who organize the events prefer shorter deadlines... people are MORE likely to finish their stuff.

Anyway, there is still one week left, so anyone could make a one week game. Y'all know one week is plenty of time.
I'd have to agree with Cal, come to think of it. I've done more real hard work on this event game in the last 48 hours than maybe the whole of the rest of the month. I think I'll be alright. But only just.
Well, with my game I've got all music, character graphics, and the whole story script written out. I only have to begin making the cutscenes and as I go along, the gameplay which I have planned out already. I have already made half the maps, the other half is where some gameplay is. My page will explain that though. Once I'm done.

(To the discussion above)I do better with more time. I think a month is way better then a week. But that's just because I work better with more time(Like I already said). With others, I understand if they do better in less time.
