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.

Well, I submitted my game, and got it done in less than 8 hours for sure. I didn't bother including the RTP since its quite a bit more to the filesize plus most people have the RTP anyways. If an RTP version is needed, I'll offer another download with an RTP included version.

My gam

I took a more "visual" approach.

There was a similar dungeon in "The Hero II", an old RPG Maker 2000 game that I really like.

Johnny Falcon Pro Skater 2: RMN EditionHow do I get out of the first room? Also, you may want to add it to the event with the submit button up at top right.

Shit, I forgot to add the instructions, jump with Z and run faster with X, there's only one level because I hadn't time to add more

Oh, and I didn't submit the game here because I thought it only accepts downloads with a gamepage
I just submitted my game entry. It's only big because I included the RTP.
It's basically just a dungeon crawler with one dungeon.

Can you include a version without the RTP? My internet sucks and I don't want to download file of 250 mb only to play for less than 10 minutes
I would, and want too, but it says once I submit I can't change it. I don't know if it'll let me add another one without RTP, or not. I'm sorry I only added the RTP because I thought we were suppose too.

Just upload a non rtp version to your locker and link that here I guess.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make anything, guys.

btw this shit just killed my notice box. :(
For those of you who want to download my submission but don't want to download a big file here the link with no RTP.

I can't add it to the submission. So you have to download the No RTP version in the this link.

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.


WTFBBQ

Well that started with a fun premise, because the idea of a podcast with those two is brilliant and should totally happen. The puzzles were simple but effective with the second one requiring a bit more thought, and I liked the ending, all in all a quick and fun little game.


Johnny Falcon

Flash game, which was a bit different, as I mentioned to El Waka in the chat this really needs a quick instruction screen to let you know about X and Z keys as well as the ability to wall-jump. Otherwise it was all right, but I'm not really the target audience for this type of game. Still in the time-frame it's pretty good.


RMN Workout

WTH was that? I have no idea what this is, I mean other than some kind of voyeuristic watching people workout thing. It was, erm, interesting? Though I preferred Cash's music if that's any consolation.
Finally submitted! http://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/15647/locker/Project_Birthday.rar
Updated version.

I have to say El Waka; that was a pretty fun game!

One's an rar are and the other an exe. I probably should have mentioned that.

That isn't it, even unpacked it's less than 5mb.
Ok so

Project Birthday

That was cute, and you nailed the evil plot between Craze and LockeZ, though there are a couple of spelling errors you might want to have a look into. In the opening with Soli he says 'too reach' it should be 'to' and in the conversation with LockeZ he says 'soon are vengeance' should be 'our'. I liked the ending, it's one we can all relate to, though given Kentona's infamous procrastination, perhaps you should have had someone like Anky come out with that line. xD




It's probably the lack of an RTP package in the file then.

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. I can see the skills in my menu but they don't show up in the battle screen. Ok, so now I worked out I need to have an item equipped to make each of the skills work, but that causes a glitch, once I equip it the skills all disappear from my 'thought' item in the menu, even the one I'm supposed to be able to cast. I can cast it (and only it) in battle, but I can't see any of them via the menu.

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.


Slices

That was intriguing and thought provoking, which is never a bad thing in any medium. From a purely procedural perspective a fade to title/end after the last sequence would have given it a sense of closure, but since I'm unsure as to that being a goal I can understand why you didn't. I just really dislike crashing out of a game to end it.
There's still time, Tau! Less than a day, but still time. >.<)b
Played through RMN Treasure Hunt. Very cute. It's a presentception!
