Maybe I'll hate myself for this later on, but fuck it, I'm done!
This looks like a lot of fun, but I currently lack the skill to create something of quality in only 14 hours . . . maybe next year . . .

Make sure to stick around after event is over so you see what kind of stuff people uploaded and regret not participating because you'll think "wait, THAT's what they made?? That's what was expected?? I could have done that!!".
This event is a good opportunity the improve your skills. The 14 hours is enough to make something fun but not very polished. No one will judge you badly for making a low quality game in such a short time span. For a previous event, I made a game in 10 hours. The download version on the game page benefits from post-event bug fix so just imagine how bad it was at the end of the event.

I mean if you have the time I don't see why you wouldn't give it a try. This is an apportunity to get better, so why not take it. And you don't need to make anything too big a 5 minutes game is more than enough. Like Mirak said, you will regret not giving it a shot when you will see people's games..

And I'm done. Playtime is probably 10 minutes or more.

-3 Memes
-Mentions a lyric from a favorite song (Don't know if that'll be enough to count).
-A fish hitch-hiking to Alaska (it's hidden, and one of the characters mentions it).
-A philosophy major that talks in leet speak.
- The phrase "I will finish making a game!"
- The phrase "I will not beg RMN for pizza."
- 14 of something to find/collect
- Spinach (Mentioned. There's no graphic of it)

For what little it's worth, I think if you're getting nervous about how much time there is allotted to create, the idea you might be having is already too big. Scaling back one's ambitions, and altering the plan, is sometimes really hard to do. However, it's also part of the process.

Also, for what it's worth, I have zero ideas/motivation for this. ;_;

My motivation was making a game in a program I haven't done so before.

Enjoy my shitty attempt at a small Danganronpa trial!
It's a super watered down version of the actual games obv, but it definitely made me want to try making an actual danganronpa engine in 2k3.

I used up my 14 hours. I made a small prequel to Carlsev Saga called Carlsev Zero. It does NOT require knowledge of Carlsev Saga and can be played on its own.

It's a story about shipwrecked soldiers trying to find the rest of their crew.

About 75 percent of the game is complete, and it's somewhere between 40 minutes to an hour long.

I just used a midi of Build Me Up Buttercup, which hopefully is fine for whoever streams these to not get a copyright strike.

It's risky... YouTube can even recognise MIDIs of songs now, at least it did when I uploaded a MIDI of Rolling in the Deep

Nobody said you have to. It just seemed like the thing to do.
