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.

call me a bit biased, but I love this one! Everyone's lines have clever plays off their games or personalities that I couldn't help but smile at the whole time. Well done, dinkle!




Lyra RPG

While I'm not sure what this has to do with RMN's birthday, I think this is a pretty cool premise on it's own. You put a surprising amount of effort into this, and it shows! Also, this is a prequel to your Lyra game? The main character looks like a child Lyra. I do want to see more of this!

The game crashed during the Juan fight when I tried to use Tenebrae. I'd double check your SE folder because it seems that that's where the crashes are occuring.

Odd. Let RMN Eat Cake worked perfect for me.

Yeah, it worked just fine for me, too.
There was a bug in mine - used the wrong event. NOW fixed (once it uploads). Pshaw.

@Pizza: It's, uh, three whole battles. And dialogue. If that. Not exactly long by any means. XD But that's fine

This was a BALLER idea. You should put some more work into this and expand it to have more people.

Introducing the game where Ocean faces non-stop abuse and his name never becomes a reality!

oh no, I meant I can't beat Happy, the boss itself. I just want to know what happens after that
In the screen before the Happy boss there's a treasure, it's well hidden and you need it to beat the boss, also equip "Zydin" and use "Explain" to heal when necessary while using your basic attack when you can, as long as you manage the healing and still have an "Idea" to heal MP you should beat it with no problem :)


Wait, what. Why am I a boss with a "mock" attack? xD
I suck. Now game should work. Sigh.

For the record, I'm LPing all of these. FOR FUNS!

Let RMN Eat Cake keeps crashing. It happens so fast, I can't tell you what's wrong, but I think it keeps happening whenever someone gets a combo.
Weird. I wonder if I missed anything RTP related? It could be related to the scripts but I never had the game crash on me while testing so that's new. Did it have a pop-up come up when it crashed or did the whole thing just shut down? Was it early in the match? Do you think it was from the player side or computer side? Sorry for all the questions I just want to nip this in the bud.

I could play, but I was busy scarfing down cake and reloading. I even managed to finish a match, but there's this powerup sound and the character glows, and then there's a popup, but I'm button mashing so fast, I've already closed out the game before I have time to stop and look. I did catch "Script error" but that was it. I'll try and see what I can see.

I fell asleep fighting Caz. I finally closed down the game. It was too mind numbing. It was great though. I loved how you had the trolls and spambots take out Max.

Back to Let RMN Eat Cake, there's:
Protection Error: 103

Let me see what the first popup was.

Okay, not a script error.

Let RMN Eat Cake: Game.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x04fa1bfa" referenced memory at "0x06a01000". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program

(The debug won't help. It's a several hundred page line of script calls in C++.)

That's followed by the Protection Error: 103

Thanks Red! The match quotes were probably the funnest thing to put into the game.

I was originally going to MUGEN it up and throw in everybody I could, but then I cut the roster because I thought it might be cool to have character-specific specials. Yeah...that ended up being more work than I could handle. I might revisit the game later when I'm less busy with schoolwork and the IGMC coming up though.

Cake game worked fine for me, too. There was one bug though, when I first tried the VS mode there was no timer so the match kept going forever. I only noticed when my arm was really sore XD But otherwise I agree it's a very solid entry. I especially loved the pre-fight VS screens with personal character quotes. Let's just say this game takes the

cake.

Glad you liked it! For that bug, was there a timer at the beginning of the round that just disappeared at the end without actually ending the match? I've had that happen a couple times during playtesting and just wanted to make sure if it was the same issue or a different one I need to look into.
Yeah, uh, you got a bugged version, piano. That Caz fight is really very, very short. Sorry! ;.;

8 Hour gam

Let's see, I recognized Xand and yuno, but I don't know who the dickbutt was. Maybe having their banne avatars as their battlers would help identify them? That's how I recognized yuno, at least.

Also I chose to play as Craze and LockeZ stunlocked me into submission. Never had a chance to react. If I play as LockeZ, can I even win the fight? Or is that the joke? Hm...

Are you using Windows XP?

This was the first google search result for the Runtime Error 103. Not sure if that's what you're experiencing though.

"0x04fa1bfa" & "0x06a01000" though...that kind of stuff is a little beyond my scope of understanding I'm afraid. Not the bugs I'm used to. I don't suppose there's anyone out there that knows a thing or two about it?
