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).


Surrealism: movement that attempts to express the workings of the subconscious and is characterized by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter.

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

Weel...Shit, the reason for my error is because First Release no longer exists. There were too many glitches so I deleted it and replaced it with the Bugfix versions on the actual gamepage /: Just lettion you know what went wrong with the download on the contest page. I apologize dearly for this screw up, but if you want to play Eomnium Project, please download it from the actual game page. Thank you.

Anybody read my last post?
What's with my entry? I can't download my game, 'cause this damn cherryshare seems to be down... What now? Did at least one of the judges downloaded it, that he can share it with the others?

@diaetsch: Wow, I didn't notice that! Anyway, I think a solution would be to upload the game to RMN's server, then contact a mod and explain the situation. Unless the game is so huge that the download times out (there's a thread that mentions this), you should be fine.

I reviewed your game Marrend...I forgot how many stars I gave it, but let's just say if your at my level of difficulty,it's impossible.

Damn, that sucks! I thought I fixed the difficulty! Like, five times over!

Glad to hear it, I'm Scared of Girls is a pretty excellent game.
Is there any entry that is not listed here on the event page?
i think everything's there now
So I have just downloaded all games and tested them to see if they run correctly. I only had problems with Transition. Download link not working. I'll be out of town for the week, so I'll start playing the games on the 11th.

I plan on reviewing them all within the same format, and just so you know, my judging criteria will be:

Concept
Presentation
Player-friendliness
Adequacy to the theme
Yeah, I just sent Max McGee a message, asking what now...
Is there anyone who downloaded the game as the download link was working?
Would it be okay, and that question goes to the jury, if one of the perhaps existing people who downloaded it, gives the game to the jury?
To make sure I didn't had more time...
Or what can we do now?

@diaeitsch: If you can find out if it's allowable (contacting Max was probably a good start), you could edit the download of your game that currently exists and replace it by uploading the game onto RMN's server. I think that's possible, but I've never attempted such a thing. Also, I'm going off the assumption that you still have a copy of the game to upload to RMN's server, but I hope that's not much of a stretch!

The date of the download is under the "download tab", so that should not be a problem.

I'm not worried about a date-change to the download. I'm worried about if it's even possible to alter a download like that. I assume all it would take is to clear out "URL" field, then use the "Browse" button to upload onto RMN's server. But, like I've said, I've never attempted anything like that.

There's also the question of whither doing that is allowed for a competition of this type. diaeitsch has extenuating circumstances, so it might be allowed. I have no idea, though.


As a total side-note, I like how the gamepages of the contest entries I've been to (probably only four or five of them) seem to be getting comments of praise. The most notable exceptions to this general rule are, in my opinion, Fire Woman and Weird Dreams. Though perhaps my perception is a tad skewed.
Sure I have a copy. Have all my games on my PC, mobile phone and USB stick.^^
Well, Max McGee wrote, I should contact the other jury members.
I guess calunio is going to read this and will give a statement.
So I'll wait 2-3 days... perhaps the download will work till then again.

Here a prove that it's defenetly the page its fault. No single download of my games, hosted on this damn site works any longer...
Other games of mine that can't be downloaded from this page
@Diaeitsch I downloaded your game before cherryshare went down, so I can send it to Cal and Max if you want me to.
Sure I want you to.^^
That's very good, because it would have been annoying if because of that my entry had been disqualificated. After the results are online, I'm going to change the download source (the rmn server, no extern servers).
