Oh okay, wow this gives a lot of freedom for creativity. It also means the entries are gonna be super different. I wonder how the judges are gonna judge them all equally.

Well if they were all judged equally, then they would all tie for first!

We're all British. Things will not be judged equally.

I will judge mainly by sheep-points. If your game has no sheep, insta-zero.

if I wanted to make a real horror game I'd make one about exploring my browser history
we already made a real horror game. it's called "we lowered the experience curve but forgot that Oushi's breath attack damage is based on the target's level"

edit: also the real horror here is all the conditional branches i'm going to need for broken/repaired characters hahahahh kahhdfkalshdfaksf hhaahskldnf, iofsdnklm uotrjdfnkvm, 4hu ufj e RMVXACE WHY DO YOU NOT LET ME DO ELSIF CONBRANCHES WHILE EVENTING

You guys might want to update your RPG Maker...
Ace has ElseIf conditional branch event commands? cool.

The prospect of being able to take the no-sheep-insta-zero TO THE BANK is tempting.
If I was a judge I would say the same thing as Caz and then give a zero to every game that HAS a sheep in it.
Sheep Haters? I think I have the cure!




Baby sheep own

I may actually jump on the bandwagon too, even at this late date, as the idea I currently have is not suitable for a house and has way more than 4 characters. (Hence no good for the map challenge)space. I guess it would be Ghost Story/Halloween Comedy, as it's kind of offbeat. Anyway if I'm joining I need to do it soon.
I've got my story ready to go! NOW IT'S TIME TO SCRIPT LIKE A MOE FOE!!!
