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).

All that remains is the actual boss fight (fight is there, but needs to be balanced and have events put into it) and the credits screen needs its image.

Hopefully I'll have that much time free from work tomorrow!

EDIT: Holy crap, I need to go find my sleep, I forgot where I left it...

I was going to say the train looks like a boot, then I noticed the laces up the front. :P

The last day... all aboard the pain train!

Working on the final boss and scenes - too bad they take hours each to do. :V

Wouldn't be bad if, like normal, I had the final day off work... but I don't! And it ends at 7pm (usually about when I'm done working for the day!)

Well... Shit.

The work I had to do in relation to my career goals and school were simply too much. I think I'm going to pull out of this contest... But I won't kill off the project.
My game is finished! Uploading it now!

I've only one more blog post to do, but I wanted to post it after the results were in. Mostly because it speaks of where I got some of the ideas of my game from. I doubt such a blog post would alter judgment, but I want to post it as something of an afterthought. I might change my mind on this (as I've done before on several decisions), but that's my plan at current.
You can do it! I made my game in about 5 hours!
okay guise i've had some homemade wine and a crushing sense of underconfidence i'll start my game now and get it in quick

I thought I had answered : did I forget the submit button?!!) No, you're right, they're not.

Edit : double post, so I had.

Also : Crazy World and Esoterica : The Dreamlike.


Are they tagged as "complete"? That was one of the things I was looking for.
Working to finish mine right now, then the missus is going to test play it, I'll give it a final playthrough, and I'll release it. Just don't expect too much, OK? =D

This would sound funny but I am creating the music and tomorrow I start scripting the game o.o i hope I finish on time


Well, you still have the rest of today, and all of tomorrow. Might be close, but you can do it! Though it goes without saying that anyone else who's not quite done yet is in a similar situation.

Anyway, of the games for this event that I know are out (that are also tagged as "complete"), Sister's Storybook already has a review (4 stars) as does Fire Woman (1 star). Weird Dreams got an LP, and, I swear, it's download count hasn't moved an inch since then. I haven't kept track very well to back that claim up, though. Eomnium Project is out there, as is Transistion, but I've only just noticed Transition just now. Marie Goes to Space just came out, so we'll see how that goes.

KICK IT STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIGHTING SPIRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Easy on the drugs.


Funny thing, everyone accuses me of being a druggy, even though I'm as straight-edge as you can get. I'm just hyper at times, and I believe in being inspirational :D
so that being said....
FIGHTING SPIRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
