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).

Regular zipfiles have built-in support in Windows (at least in XP and onward) so those should work within the rules given.

But then the judges have to have Windows XP or higher.
How do I know none of you are operating on Linux?
Do our projects now have to include an operating system?
But then you will need hard drives to install them to.

@Adon: From my understanding, a binary file is the "EXE" (executable) file. The executable should be part of the ZIP file. Or whatever other compression method is going to be inevitably used.

Then again, it would be mildly humorous to me if everyone build self-extracting executables because of the statement "The judges should not require any additional components to play your entry."

Umm, since when are games in rpgmaker binary? O_o?
can't wait to see who wins~~~

I just hope the game is a binary file so I can download it easier.

(I know, I know Marrend.) Shinan, the download from that link you procided, the 2k3, it comes with the RTP. (I had to reinstall the 2k3 yesterday actually!) So yes, I fail.

I think the argument isn't so much, "This requires the RTP! Get it here!", it's a question of having a game be able to stand on it's own (hence the usage of the term "stand-alone") so that anyone (Especially contest judges!) can run it.
Not on this page it isn't: http://crankeye.com/?page=downloads maybe hidden somewhere else?

The RTP's are at RMRK(just saying) for 2k/3
I just like to share an anecdote of me playing through the games in the last event. I decided to be nice and download these "rtps". Turned out that's harder than it looks. The XP and VX ones are easy enough and accessible through the official websites but since rm2k and rm2k3 are illegal programs finding those RTPs proved to be a bit more of a challenge (by googling).

In the end the 2k rtp was easy enough to get my hands on. (and with my ancient knowledge I also knew not to download rtp1.3 or whatever) However with the 2k3 rtp I downloaded at least four different files of different filesizes that all claimed to be the rtp but in the end I think I did not get a single 2k3 game to run due to missing files.

So kids, what do we learn from this?

THAT ALL OF YOU WHO DON'T MAKE YOUR GAMES FUCKING INDEPENDENT SHOULD BE SHOT.

That's what we learn.

A French vx team, right ?!
I'm looking for people to join my team.
I am an army of one.
Woah.
The teams... @_@
I'd happily join someone's team, though I doubt many would stand a chance with the likes of Anaryu, Solitayre and Krisanna being in the same group or Rhyme and KreadEX...
Still, I love mapping, so I'd always be glad to help out there.
Feel free to PM me with regards to joining a team and I'll get to work straight away, depending on what's needed, etc.
EDIT: I only work for RPG Maker VX teams, since I prefer that engine to any other.

amusing tassadar, your taste in companionship grows ever more inexplicable

So, NO GAME made IN ANY ENGINE SHOULD REQUIRE ANY TYPE OF RTP, right?

Just thought I'd make sure I understood correctly.

:)
The rule goes like: judges shouldn't have to download anything other than your game to play it. If, for instance, I download game X but it doesn't run because of missing file/missing font/missing RTP/missing dll package/whatever, I should not feel obligated to download whatever is missing. If I just decide not to play that game, I don't think I'm being unfair. It's up to the judge, I'd say. I mean, I would download a font. But I will not download XP RTP.

That's not being unfair to VXP users, it leaves more people in trouble. Some judges may not have that Super Mario thing required to play all mario games. The guy making a Mario game should just put the entire engine in his download (though I have it).

I don't think that's an intolerant position. Judges will have to play lots of games, if they have to browse the internet looking for missing files to every game, it's too much of a drag.

---edit---

Making RTP independent games is very simple, no one should ever make a game that requires RTP, ever. And I don't mean adding the whole RTP to the game folders, which is super lame.
