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.

Don't be silly. I'd have already won it if there was one. Sheesh~

But yeah, no.

Aw yss, on my last weekend before I leave. IT WAS TIMED APPROPRIATELY

Clearly this is the right time for me to do the horror genre.

I know I always ask this, but: what's the rule for scripting? Can we only use public scripts, can I use personal scripts I've used in the past, does it all need to be from scratch...?
GAMES! GAMES WITH PEOPLE!

Looks fun. Might want to try the chat, it's a hell of fun. But the timeshift is probably gonna bite me

I do like me some caemos/references. So, maybe, I just want to make a game where Okiku WOBs it up with various characters from other games.

Darigaaz, the facesets for this kind of game is going to be all freaking over the place.

*Edit: It might behoove me to forgo facesets entirely, actually. Though, that's have the fun with Okiku as the protag.

It is ok to use a 'base' right? Like for example, I have this thing that uses is like my base for tilesets priorities, scripts and shit to build upon like every other game I made because it's a pain to copy paste 30 scripts in every new project including bug fixes... And a super empty database.

Because unlike the older RMs, RMVXA doesn't let you set a new 'default project' anymore via overwriting.
Count me in on this, it sounds like fun. :)

Anything goes. You want rips? Use rips. You want custom? Use custom (but don't start making that custom til time starts - it'll count as part of the time to make).

Collecting in order to be ready is fine, as long as you do nothing to the project before time.
Who wants to team up with me? I can provide very bad ideas and very bad voice acting and maybe some very bad writing. (and I own/have installed VXA now but I don't know how to use it, so that doesn't help)

I have a question. If we team up, does each team member have eight hours to work?

Nope, it's eight hours shared. Sorry~


Also, I've been asked by some people whether it's okay not to use IRC since their internet is really shitty and won't work well for it. I'm not sure about it but I guess if those people show some sort of chat interaction with others, then it will count. The idea of IRC is to be social and while, ideally, I'd love for everyone to get on IRC together and interact, it can't be in some cases, so if you cannot use IRC, use Skype - I'll add a chat room for RMN Skype and anyone who can't (or want to) can join in there.
Just PM me your Skype name and I'll set it up! >.<)b

Ah, I see. So a two person team means each person has four hours to work, and a three person team would only have a little over two and a half hours. Okay, good to know.
Well, you could always divvy the time up like, one person has 2 hours to do mapping while another has 4 hours to do the eventing and the last has 2 hours to do whatever else.

Basically, each game has up to a total of 8 hours to be spent on it. How that is divvied up is the creators' business.

I am way too ecstatic about these Wand of Blasting events in this gam.

This always confuses me since IRC is such ancient technology that it worked on internet connections in the early 90s...
I know, but it doesn't really work for some people. I've no idea why but every time I use IRC they can't and it does become a pain. But hey, on the plus side, people could log in on skype and chat for a while giving feedback and bouncing ideas while heading from x to z, so there's that. As long as there's some community interaction I'm down with it.

Yeah, I'm being really flexible with this event in some ways.

IDK if you remember Shinan, but remember that time I was disconnecting every 15 mintues despite the fact my internet is stable? And you even said can I banned even for a short time because the log in, log out was really getting annoying? (I don't recall the exact amount of time you said). XD
Is the social chit-chat required? Because I don't think I could participate in that. My net's going to be down for most of the weekend, so...

I will (try to) participate in the feedback portion after the event though. It should be fun to see what craziness people can make in eight hours ;p
