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.

Yeah, as said a few times, it has yet to start, but it will encompass the whole weekend so there's more than enough time to fit up to 8 hours in. You can break the time up as much as you want, but only games started between the proper times will count.

That said, you at least have had some practice now, Eddy, so there's that at least!



As for the theme - no. People are allowed to prepare before-hand which means they need some idea of what to prepare for. Frankly, one day of knowing the theme ain't much... if people would read the rules and times at least.


For those wanting to join the skype chat, send me a message. My username is silver.satyr

From there I'll add you to the chat room.

*Edit: I might be able to use the Wand, as a concept, but not the character. If what I'm thinking is supposed to happen is true. Though, since my head is obviously not screwed on at all right...

how do we log our time spent making the game? does it have to be 8 hours in a row?

i don't know if i could spend 8 hours straight doing anything so that might be a problem.

It's cool Adon! It only has to take 8 hours to make the game. It's any 8 hours you want to spend and you don't have to spend them all at once. You've got the whole weekend.

And you don't have to log anything. File creation times and update times will tell them all they need to know.

I haven't been added to that skype chat thing yet >=l

Too bad I have to take an SAT tomorrow, an thus have to go to sleep very soon.
Won't take all day but I might actually have to go 8 hours straight.
I decided not to join, but I could join a team if anyone is interested and it isn't too much work.
Seiromem, send me a contact on skype or I won't know who you are. There's even more than one Seiromem out there. >.<;

Also, yus, it's underway from here out guys! Once again, it doesn't need to be 8 hours in a row - however you break it up over the two days is up to you. GOgogogooo!
