Description

RMN is having it's 8th birthday and as such we're having an event. Because God forbid we forget this year like we did the last two, right? Right!

And what's better than a short game making competition? Not much!

So grab your engine of choice and get ready to rumba!

What we doing?

We're makin' gam! In eight hours! Woo!

Basically, over this weekend we will be creating a short game based on the theme of self-insert/cameos within eight hours. That is, you have a total of eight hours over the course of the weekend, broken up however you like, to make a game in.

During the event we recommend that people make use of the RMN IRC chatroom in order to talk about what they're doing and give feedback, bounce ideas and just have fun.

This is a birthday event and as such it's social!

At the end of the weekend we show off the games we made and give feedback. The downloads will be compiled in to one game project which will also be released not long after - as such you won't need to create game pages for your games.


Yes, there's a theme. It's pretty simple, too!

Cameos/Self-inserts: The main cast of the game need to consist of either yourself, people you know in real life or people you know on the internet. This means you could create a true Craze vs LockeZ game if you desire, or throw yourself and a group of friends into a fantasy world of your creation.

Whatever you like, how ever silly you desire~ As long as it fits this theme it will count.


- Create a game within 8 hours over the course of the weekend of the 6th/7th of June.
- Game must abide by the site rules of game submissions (thus no pornography, hate speech and such).
- Game must fit the theme provided above.
- Upload to either your locker or a hosting site, then submit to the event page. (If you use a hosting site, put the link in the comments and make sure you use large text/bold in order for it to stand out.)
- The game may be made on any engine.
- Game should be complete and stand-alone, with all necessary files included.



There are three badges available.
- Gammak Cak (25 MS), which will be received if a game that fits the criteria is submitted.
- Feedback Balloon (15 MS), which will be received for giving feedback over the course of the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Gabby Gift (10 MS), for taking part in the chat sessions over the weekend.


If you have any questions or queries, ask here. We'll be operating on the honour system as there is no real way to determine if people are keeping time or not. Trust is the name of the game. Fun is the way we roll.

A question: Does the fact that the entries will be collated into a single game page prevent us from creating stand alone game pages?

EDIT: I mean, I know that you don't NEED to create them, but is there a rule against doing so?

@nhubi: Yeah, I didn't really know what to do with the ending. I had thought of some options to juice it up a bit, but with the time constraint looming over me I just followed suit with my other art games and had it come to a stop.

I can understand that, and it does tie into the 'with a future' vibe, open-ended and the choice to move on is left in the player's hand. It's purely a mechanical issue for me.
Unless it's a long game, I think it'd be best to just have the one game page. Each time we have one of these there was an influx of gamepages for games that were 5 minutes tops and it was always pretty silly. If you're actually going to expand on the game after the event, sure a gamepage would be a good idea, but for something short and silly, just the one works.

Besides, you'll all be put up as developers, so everyone gets a piece of that MS pie. Consider it part of a whole instead of a separate piece.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I can't get Iddalai's game to run. Added both the 2K and the 2K3 RTP, which got it to start. Played for a while until I tried to cast Perserverance and the game crashed saying the file Up was missing. I surrender.

Alichains's game annoys me because me and my minion are the only people in it that make grammar mistakes! It reflects badly on us. Also my hair is terrible.

Actually Soli made one in that game as well, which given his role here is hysterical.

I finished Iddalai's and cast Perseverance during a battle without an issue, no error messages. Is there more than one 2K rtp?

Ok, so that was short and cute and I liked the MS rewards, and the sprites were great, but I really wanted to make a donations. I got my 10 MS and everything, why couldn't I go down the stairs?
Honestly, if you're using 2k/3, add the RTP. It's a whole, what? 32MB? Add it. There should be no reason for 2k/3 games not to have it included.

That said, I love how people are using RMN peeps/things in their games. I should have really made the event based on RMN as a theme but hell, people are doing it anyway so no worries there. X3

Celebrating RMN Birthday by playing games based on RMN~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEST SITE!

You can only go down the ones on the right. :/ It didn't work? Aw man... Not sure what the issue might be. Worked everytime I used it. Maybe because I am using a parallax background from the rtp after that? No the game would just crash then if a files missing...

If going down the stairs leads to the credits then yes I could, but I wanted to find Kentona! You totally didn't fire Chekhov Gun.

Ah, I can't believe I forgot Cash

CKTC

Well that was both silly and serious. Those bloody slimes were irritating, but you got the characters quite well. I could so see SnowOwl in that role, it was just tailor made xD. Adored the little onion wrapping ending, as if some of the name dropping clues hadn't already given it away. Nicely done Cash, I had fun and those sprites were wonderful.


Ok the only ones I believe I have left that are currently available are Piano's and Rose. I'll try and have a look at them later tonight (well tonight where I am).


You guys are making things and I like that! Have a dragon!

In celebration of all the wonderful, amusing and cute trash that is being made and has been made. In celebration of our most beloved RMN site and all who are on it.
SUCCESS DRAGON!
There's about 15 hours left, guys. Don't forget:
- no gamepage
- upload to either a file-host site or your locker
- if locker, remember to submit via event page options, top right
- if other site, remember to post link in comments with large font to we can see it~
- if 2k/3 you might as well add the rtp because 32mb ain't much to worry about
- make sure it can run with the files in it
- chat rooms are still open. for skype, add silver.satyr to contact and I'll throw you in the room. for irc, check out the thread in the footer of the site for details
- remember to talk a bit in the chat rooms. just logging on won't count. I gotta see your name in the chat logs!
- have fun!
Not sure if this was asked already (since I was afk for for the entire day).

Do I *really* need to include the rtp for VXA? It is quite big and all.
No, if you do the RTP flag trick, where you remove all bar the files you used then it should work.
This is what I had earlier

My Gam + RTP

author=nhubi
iddalai, you may want to submit your game otherwise it'll slip away as we move pages, also a 2K game, that's unexpected.
One thing are 'thoughts' supposed to work in battle, because they don't.
Interesting level dynamic, btw. Also I like the ending, I'm assuming that was taken from your introduction thread on the site? It sounds like the sort of responses people here tend to give.


Thanks! It's submitted now. I've been meaning to finish a game in 2k for the longest time! :D
My bad, the character isn't supposed to start the game with 'thoughts', those were there for testing, I removed them, they're only supposed to appear when you equip special items and can only use them in battle.

Some were from my introduction thread (Marrend stands out :P ) others are just cool comments from people I interacted with.

Sorry LockeZ, it should work now!
I even made an RTP version.

Oh crap! We removed all the unnecessary files, but I think we forgot to change the flag!

Wow, I haven't finished an RM game in ages! This one could loop forever, though. XD

Nice battles! Was entertained!
I can't get to the right in the pro skater .. welp. I just get stuck somewhere on top and even if I can get the to the other platforms, not to the one to proceed. Do I just suck?

Well, the base-stuff I wanted to do is done, and I figure I have around 3 hours of dev-time left. Of course, I never planned for a proper ending for this at all, so, that might be a thing to think about.

*Edit: Or, I can say "screw it", and think up of more people for Okiku to interview, thus generating even more project-dropping!
