I am planning on joining this, but will not join until I have an idea that I am willing to go through with. For what I want in the first place, I would like to find the Mack tilesets that were used in the first map event I attempted to participate in(whatever it was called. It was the event where people worked together to make a game, where maps are made by each person, then put together in the final game. It was a Mansion theme I think?) I'll go looking.
You're thinking of joining it with about a week left to work on your game before even having the assets to produce it?

Well RMRK have a Game in a week event a lot of time and I already see a ton of submission in the past GIAW competition of that site. The quality is great and all.
Since there is evidence that a single people and a group of people already made a game in a week I think this should be possible.
In my theory that is.

Pyrodoom, check the page for either The Here and Now of Yesterday, Where End Times Saddest Song or Apon the Brow of Tomorrow, Clear. There should be a link for the 2k/3 version of them.
If you want the Ace versions, check the site for First Seed Material.

Don't discourage it, MISTER BIG T. I've seen people make great games in just a week.

Oh there's no denying that it can be done, I am just saying he sure left it late to start working on it.

I think I won't have my game done on time. I like my idea, so I will still work on it, even if it is a late Halloween game.

Sleep spell.

Still drawing battlers. I'll have to settle for a very restricted amount of animation frames and low art quality in order to finish in time. Imaged cutscenes might not make it but I'll do my best.

Damn, being away from my computer for 10 days really stalled the progress of my game. I've only finished the layout of one level so far, out of 6 total. x_x

One level a day, gogogo.

I've...been working on my non-contest project. Whoops. XD Only need a solid two to three days to finish up my entry though, and I have some time off work coming up.

So what actually happened? You linked to a blog post that didn't exist. Did your gamepage just get accidentally deleted? Why can't you make another one?

So, this has happened.

Yeah, unless there's a drastic change, looks like we won't make the deadline. ;.;
