Description

Hi there, welcome to another event to celebrate RMN's birthday! This year the site turns 12 years old!

You all voted and the winner of the poll was...
Abrupt Ending


An abrupt ending is still an ending... of sorts. It's not as simple as shutting down the program - but is more along the lines of just cutting the story at a place where some things are rounded off but other things are still left hanging. An easy example would be if getting out of Midgar was the end of FF7 or if Chrono Trigger ended when you got back to your own time. Another example is if a game ended after the hero loses a cinematic, cannot-win battle instead of carrying on the story.



Rules
- Start making on the 8th of June
- End making at Midnight (site time) of the 16th of June
- Game must be at least 10 minutes long
- Full games only
- Any engine, any assets. If you intend to make graphics for the game, you may start now, and planning on paper outside the engine is allowed. No in-engine starting though!
- No game pages necessary. Just upload straight to the page.
- Be as silly or as serious as you like, as long as it falls within the rules of the site.
- Games must have an abrupt ending!


Prizes
- A 40 MS badge for any games that follow the above rules.
- Three random people will get to choose a game from Liberty's Humble list (there's literally hundreds...)

Alright, my project's submitted. Had a lot of fun with this event, and I'm really glad I decided to sign up for it.

Not sure if Liberty is planning on streaming these games, or anything but if she does I (hopefully) won't be super embarrassed this time around.
I hope she does. :P She gets a small shout-out in one line of my entry.

Same here. It's always cool to see people go into a project blind.
I'll be streaming these some time this week. Keep your ears posted here, folks!

Any chance we'll be seeing a deadline push?

Nahp. Ya blew it.
I am on vacation, I had to contact support to get the 2k3 engine back but I am not hurrying a one day first game ever for that one, nah.

Have a text instead! I didn't work on this for very long, I didn't proofread it, and I didn't playtest it either. It should work and be rough and kinda adhere to the theme of this event!

Spedrun it in 5 minutes so I'm kind of worried about 10 minute time... Not as good as the first two but its my first time back at game making since Novemeber. Its disappointing but done.

Hey, better then my would-be-entry. It takes you at least twenty minutes to find every little thing ... but it's not a real game yet :(
I am quite hopeful that I am gonna be able to post something... "decent" enough. The only problem is that I should be learning for my exam on tuesday instead... T^T
I hope I can finish it in time and then I am gonna study like there isn't a tomorrow... *life struggles*

Well done to everyone who already posted their games!
Testing setting timezone change dont mind me

My dumbass didnt realize it'd tell you in the f'ing settings...
Technically my game is done. Buuuut I'm gonna use every minute to cram more fun stuff in the middle.
Just a bit over 12 hours left! Hurry hurry! You can collapse in a sleep ball as soon as you upload, I know I am.

I tried it, I'd say it's more than 10 minutes (I'm not a smart dog and I got stuck.) Speedruns are never accurate anyway, the chit chat is part of the fun.

...That said, god save me from my horrible game with my horrible gam mak skills.
I love the cactus game, the dedication to sweet lizards and life as lizard is the best.
I didn't finish cause I just started it up super tired - I did manage to make the game crash though by entering weird letters as the answer to the snowman puzzle (oops. Oh well)

@shydoge I love the gam! Not the jabs at the dot or player for playing the game or knowing math tho. Have a real time experience run-down.
I will say I didn't like the being yelled at as a dot : ( no be mean to dot-me, or dot, or dotts. (also OMG ... ofc... a dog.. called dot..)
The writing could be polished up some, though (at least prior to vn part, vn is paaafect).

Loving the visual novel scene .. (on to play more) Also, why is Ozzy so important in this one too? Not that I mind, just curious hehehehe. Y'all love ozzy. OMG IS THAT THE FROGGE INTRO CUT PIXELATED OZZY

OMG DIS VIZUAL NOVAL IS DA BEST

Oh.... because bans... ok, now I get the big player dynamic. gl ozzy!
WAIT NO LIBUTEA DOESNT LIKE REPTILES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (I am all for jokes, but don't put mean no-man-if-gay comments into her mouth, it pride month to boot! also.. it just unnecessary : D)

OMG DAT NAMEEEEE DAT NAMEEEEEE (YES I EDIT ALL THE CRAP FOR A SHY DOGE)

Right room end is nice too.

That's... not exactly what's happening with the Snowman in Muffle's game. I took a peek at the game in-engine because I'm a terrible person. If you answer the Snowman's riddle incorrectly, the Show Text that follows will include a "\" character at the end. Yanfly's Messaging System parses the "\" character as an escape/code character. Which means it will be looking for something to follow it where there is nothing to follow. Hence, the error-message that references nil:nilclass (or what-have-you), and summarily crash-closes the game.

I found the fix to be simple enough for the intended effect: include another "\" character.

\N<Snowy the Snowman>And I had such high hopes
for you. :\\

Like so.
Omg I thought I got rid of the ":\" because I found that error, guess I didn't. I am so sorry, thanks for pointing it out and I'll get to it.

EDIT: Also how was the muffle battle, that was the one thing I didnt test.

No problem, Muffle! I'm happy to be of help.

*Edit: I don't know if it's intentional, but, check Kory's Flamethrower skill? It targets all allies. One of Bart's skills prints... squares, if I recall? The one with the music notes? Maybe the Rune one. Probably a font issue.

Sorry if I'm making more work ;_;

*Edit: It was Runes that printed squares. The "music notes" one printed fine.

*Edit2: Outside of that, that fight was fine. Though, I must admit to getting a chuckle out of...

...the "I hate turn based combat!" follow-up line when the fight is turn-based combat.
Please spoiler that because that's the entire joke, I'll add a comment to make it clear that was intended XD And oooh, idk how to fix the runes thing.
