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...)

So uh, I just showed the game to my brother, and apparently using the knife consumes shotgun ammo.

It's past the submission deadline, so I can't update anything, but if for whatever reason anyone wants to play my weird Fallout inspired UFO horror game, I put a fixed version on my Google Drive.

Yeah, I played Pilgrim's Path and thought it was pretty cool. I liked the worldbuilding, but the combat was pretty bland.

@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.
Literally only half an hour left I just realized it should have been called fullstop *facepalm* instead of dot

Libu is the one supporting girls and lizards to rmn. Ossu is the one opposing it. Which is very coincidence of how muffles put lizards in RMN and ozzy being the antagonist.

The gay stuff is actually a hint about pride month xd, sorry I couldnt think of something better to hint it. I mean no offense to LGBT, my apologize if it sounded mean.

edit: Cause I'm not a smart dog and quoted everything instead of the post I replied >->


And woot, so Libby is supporting lizards? I should've voted for Libby then, haha. Thanks for explaining and no offense taken, just seemed odd : )
Anyway, I enjoyed my time : D So thank you for that
OMG! I discovered a HUGE bug in my game... If you play it, don't get out of the statues room before ending the puzzle, otherwise you can't go further in the game... Save before starting moving the statues too, because I forgot to make a "reset" lever... T^T

Oh, thanks.

And, yeah. Looking back, combat could have had a lot more depth.

*Your game is fun btw.
For what it's worth (to those who will be awake anyway) I'll be streaming the games in about 12-14 hours from this post. I tend to throw up links to streams in the discord and on my twitter, but I'll edit it into this post as well before I start streaming, so eyes out if you want to watch live.

Stream will be hosted online and linked here after the fact, too.

Yeeeeeyyy!!! >u<
Sadly I can't watch it live but I'm excited to watch it afterwards online!!! I don't know if you've read it already, but I wrote a post regarding a game breaking bug in my game:

Thanks! For the sake of clarity, the scenario and art is by Karsuman. He was gonna do writing too but we didn't start until like the 15th aside from sketching the girls and me editing Marcia's sprite ;V

also i will never give you cake, usurper

Glad you had fun with my entry (the heroes no one asked for)! Shame that you're not going to finish it off, you were at the final boss. :)

Maybe going to see about tweaking the ghost boss in the final release. Normally, silencing them makes the barrage of Sleep spells pretty manageable...But if you don't, well, even the reasonably low odds of getting hit by it can add up.

That's one thing to put on the list in addition to figuring out how to make Normal Attacks useful as well as skills...
Sorry, I suck. I disappeared for the week and I don't even have a good excuse. Got home from work, had dinner, wife said Netflix or PlayStation, evening vanished, rinse repeat. By the time my brain went "Oh shit, Abrupt Ending Party!" it was too late.
Badges have been handed out and the random prize draw has been drawn!
The winners were:

Karsuman and Craze
Delsin7
Fflo


You'll each be getting a PM or DM shortly with a list of games for you to pick one from!

Congratulations to everyone who finished a game for this event and to those lucky winners who got a prize! Looking forward to seeing you all next year! <3

Thanks and good abruptness!
Woo, thanks Libby!

(Working on some stuff for the game before I make a gamepage, notably an auto move system, its 1/3 the way done, just need to finish the ui stuff, and finish making a better shop system...ie a lot more work ooph.)
Soo .. all games were streamed? I missed those and no vids. Aw. Oh well. Anyone been there? I hope it was fun

And congrats to all winners!
There's vids. They're on my youtube but I'll throw links here. I lost the second stream, unfortunately, due to twitch deleting videos after a set amount of time.




So they DO exist! I looked on the channel and only found the last one. Thank you so much : )
