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).

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
i think everything's there now
Is there any entry that is not listed here on the event page?

just wanted to say-
:D:D:D:D:D I'm still in the contest apparently- and thank you!

Glad to hear it, I'm Scared of Girls is a pretty excellent game.

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!

Oh well.

@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.

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?

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.

Uh... was I disqualified or something?
???
Also, CARRIONBLUE's submission is ready, but late due to how long it took to upload the game.

I can help you guys out if something went wrong. PM me.

He didn't actually submit his entry to the event page. I just added it.

EDIT: sbester that is

Take your time, cal. I'm sure nobody wants you to feel rushed.
I'm glad we had so many entries! That's possibly a mark for RMN's events.

I'll have to apologize in advance, because it will take me some time to play all those games and do the judging. I'm in the middle of a very very busy week, and I'll be out of town for the entire week next week (sep 6 - sep 11). Only then will I start playing the games... and since I'll play them thoroughly and carefully, it shouldn't be quick. But I promise not to rush through any of the games, I'll try my best to review them all.

Right now I'm going to set some judging criteria and get in touch with the other judges.

I did mean calunio. I was recognizing my mistake, and was making a jab at myself for it. Fair enough?

Yes.
I have heard it will take a long time to judge...
So.
