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.

Since the deadline hasn't arrived yet, can I upload the new one with the fix if I delete our submission? Or is it too late? I don't want to remove ours if we can't.

I got the okay from Liberty, deleted the old one, and reuploaded just now XD

Disaster averted!

*finishes RMN Treasure Hunt*

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

Nice battles! Was entertained!

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

EDIT EDIT: Okay, now the file has missing resources. Dammit, gotta find those and fix it again >.<;;; ;_;
It is done. My life's work.

Well, not actually done. There was an arcade mode and unique specials I wanted to add as well as different AI patterns for different fighters bbuuuuutttt I can only do so much in so little. Oh and there's some weird glitch that keeps happening with the timer.

But yeah! Done-ish! I made a Streetfighter-themed cake-eating game starring a few people I see on the forums but don't really know yet. I might come back to it later if I get free time. Hope people have fun with it!

Download here. Also up above.
Ok. Soli and Mortissiga are now speaking proper english!

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?

Thanks for trying it out! :) Here's what to do:

Make sure you have "Joy" equipped and "Spoonybard", then use "Irony" against "Bad Topic", healing when necessary, you need to have at least one healing item to be able to beat it, don't use healing items up to that point.


Played RMN Treasure Hunt:
Just what I expected from the Red_Nova & unity team :)
A cute game with cute dialog.
I loved the items, equipments, skills, monster names!
In battle the names of the items overlap the quantity number.
Is it just fiction or do you guys really get along that well? :P
I didn't use a lot of items for the most part, but had to use some MP healing items and HP healing in some tough fights! That's means they're useful or I wouldn't use them.


Edit 2: forgot to comment about how cool the custom enemies look like in RMN Treasure Hunt! :D
Not sure if I have time to contribute to this.
oh well.
Happy Birthday!

Really glad you liked it, iddalai! While I exaggerated our personalities a bit, we do get along pretty well.

Treasure Hunt
That has to be one of the sweetest things I've played in a very long time. You two are so adorable I want to find out where you live and send someone around to hug you at random intervals and bring you big bags of inspiration and cheer. The custom battlers were a real surprise, and just hysterical with both the names and the look, the TESS monster was an especial favourite.Oh and I adored the whole 'you want a self insert, we'll give you a self insert' twist, just wonderful.

Also Red, whilst I've never seen unity's face, I believe I wouldn't be able to say no to her either.


nhubi, thanks so much for the response! I really appreciate it!

All I can say is...AWWWWW!


Thanks!

RMN Workout:
I am out of shape. Enough said.


OMGWTFBBQ:

While it was an interesting idea, I can't beat the second puzzle. Can you help me out here, Zeig?


Okiku, Star Interviewer:

Kinda dissappointed that I couldn't interview RMN members. Though it was nice to blast people with the wand.

... I wanted to blast some RMN members...


Slices:

I liked what it was going for, but like most of your games, it's one of those projects that will resonate with some and not for others. It did make
me think, which maybe you can take that and call it a win.

Welp, I don't think I will be able to finish on time, so looks like I'm out. I will be able to finish the game later tonight or tomorrow, but it won't be for the event in that case. T-T

My old habit of trying to make a short game bigger than it should be is what caused this headache. >_<

While unfortunately I didn't have any time to contribute to this event at all, I'm definitely going to play all these games after the event is over. Reading all your comments made me way too curious about what crazy stuff you actually managed to put together.
