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.

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?

I have VX Ace, and I've played lots of VX Ace games and while I've had crashes like this, I've never had it on VX Ace. I think it's a compatibility error between XP and a script you're running.

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...

That was Xand, yuno, and either a random spambot, or a random joker begging for free help making a game.

Rose_Guardian, I get a "disposed bitmap" error while playing Castle of Emedress. Though, I re-booted the game, re-entered the map in question, and it worked okay. So, I'm not quite sure what's up with that!

*Edit: Re-upped Libby's gam. Next time I post, I should have feedback/notes for her, McBacon Jam, piano, and Gundam Rose.

You can win - it seems you had a bad-luck round, I'm afraid. ^.^;

Aaron was the guy who tried selling his maps for $500 and argued that he had rights to sell the graphics with them because he had Ace... when the Eula states completely differently (that you have the right to sell a game with them but no the graphics themselves). He wasn't around for long, but his fallout was pretty terrible, including reporting me for being a troll... :sigh: Short but memorable.

Pity his name wasn't, though. Also, he didn't have an avatar, so...

I played as LockeZ and had a fairly easy time of it. Wondering why Craze never used that multiple tentacle attack on me.
In 2k3 it's hard to get the enemies to have more than one-attack turn. The best I could do was double-attack. For heroes, though, it's a bit easier - since weapons can have more than one attack. There's also the ability to force combo attacks in battle but it only works for heroes again, so... :<

Instead I buffed his attack a bit more. Granted, it was a bit on the easy side but I didn't want to make it too hard. I was worried about that stun status but I played through about 15 times and never got stun locked so I figured it was okay. >.<;
Some of this games are very good. I don't know where to start LOL..! I just want to make a simple game. probably add some angry birds to it or make some of my friends into flappy bird and tell them to jump over walls.

Wait, what. Why am I a boss with a "mock" attack? xD
Yeah, you were kind of a dick to me when I got to RMN :P


Wow, I have totally no recollection of ever even talking to you, but I take it, and I apologize whatever it has been. D:

Also, Let RMN Eat Cake was awesome!

I use the same tactic and it's very effective! The second round is pretty entertaining but I like the first fight! yehahaaa!!1

Umm...Liberty...you should have kept the credits the way they were. It was funnier. Now LockeZ and Craze are in a team fighting against...Craze.

Edit:Okay...scratch that. I moved my save file over to the new game, I beat Xand, Yuno and Spambot (definitely a spambot), and I fought Craze again...with Craze fighting alongside. And now I'm fighting Xand, Yuno, and Spambot again.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt it. Hopefully it's one of the scripts I can easily lose. Sorry it's giving you issues.

No, it wasn't there to begin with, so I thought it was somewhere else and I just didn't notice. Only happened that one time though.

Crap. Well, I'll add it to the bug list. Thanks for letting me know. :)

FINALLY!!
MiSupraReeraArpegeeWoooo

I ran out of time, so I failed to go any further than the intro (what the heck was I thinking in the first place? Sure, I can make a 3 hour RPG in 8 hours! Kids, don't try that at home. Ever.)

Edit: Also, this game was supposed to feature just one cameo from RMN: The Lord on High Himself, Aremen. Was supposed to.


I don't know if it's been pointed out yet, but this game crashes during battle for not having needed sound effects. I put in all the sound effects and then got another crash when I tried to open the gate at the back of the town.

At DinkleBerry, it's fun while it runs. It's funny and awesome in one, big, cake gorged package.

@Liberty: I finally managed to make it to the end. This game is hilarious, and I'm sure the mess up had something to do with the old save file.

Yeah, that's an engine issue. Save files won't update data even if the event has been edited, unfortunately. It's bullshit and I had to make test maps in order to just test out new code (which led to some issues in and of itself!)

So, unfortunately, you have to restart. >.<;
:grumble 2k3 grumble:

E: Glad you enjoyed it second time around! ^.^)b


Lyra had a bug, looking for Wind5. I have the Ace RTP installed, why is it looking for Wind5 (Audio/SE)?! Sheesh! :/

I hope I'm not too late in this last-minute submission! I should feel ashamed for shitting out this "game." :P

EDIT: Can you transfer stuff from your locker to this event page? That would be better than reuploading shit.

Looks like there's been a few entries since last I was here. There's still a bit of time left for the stragglers! GOGOGOGOGO!

*clears throat*

Right. Feedback/notes.

8 Hour Game

Played both scenarios for lolz. The setup to the fight against the three banned users was more hilarious than the fight itself.

Aside: I can identify yuno (the Illuminati pyramid that spouts about the perfect gam), as he is more fresh in my memory. Definitely not the other two as off-hand, though.


Castle of Emedress

This style of portraits is similar, if not the same as Mystic Knights. My memory is a bit faded on this point, but, do you draw them, or do they come from someplace else?

Hrm. I'm not sure about this ice-area. Having a three-minute countdown to both find the key and the door is one thing. However, I'm definitely not a fan of having that count-down happen in battle, or that battles are random.

Well, I could try to run from said battles, I guess? I don't usually like doing that, but, that might be the best strategy for this room.

What the heck!? Where's the key? Am I blind, or is there just one chest... wait. You're using that white sparkle-thingy to tell players where the key is. That's probably why I can't see it. It's blending with the floor!

Yep, it's pretty much where I thought it was. Next time, I would suggest something more visible. Like a treasure chest!

I didn't expect stepping on lava to be a GAME OVER. Take damage and a step back, maybe, but not GAME OVER.

Is there something that's supposed to happen after I beat Emedress? I mean, there's a small bit of banter, but after the screen fades to black, there doesn't seem to be anything happening.


Ziggy OMFG WTF BBQ

Half expected the floor plates in the first room to activate on hero touch rather than push button. Eh, as long as the puzzle works!

The second room just befuddles baffles me. I feel like I need to be able to pull these crates as well as push them to finish this puzzle.

Well, it would be a helluva lot easier, that's for sure!

DAAAAAAH! I can't figure this out at all!


Gunfight

I don't particularly consider myself good with timing mini-games. Though, I was able to shoot Kentona on my second try, it looked like I barely hit it on the mark.

Are there plans to extend this game? I dunno, in-game Liberty mentions an "RMN gang", which means that there should be more than Kentona, but, I can accept that this was a one-off game.

I had actually planned multiple fights. I figured once I got the system down, I could just spam characters in. I can, but it would take a lot longer than expected. I am thinking about going ahead and making a full version.

I had plans for Lawless LockeZ, Nefarious Nhubi, Conniving Craze, Cashmere the Charisma Cat, and Kentona would have been the last fight.

As I said in the credits, it's basically an updated version of the old Gunfight! game on the Atari 2600.

@Ratty524: My selections were RPG, Sci-fi, sushi, and Bob.
