Hmmmm. Well, I guess I could make it. Even if the full animation aspect is not complete, it would be acceptable as an entry?

I'd think using placeholders for those types of things is OK as long as some sort is disclaimer is made, so that way, you can still get the corresponding achievement for participating. Now, if you're gunning for greater achievements or the prizes you might not be so lucky ...

Perhaps. I'll work hard to make the deadline.

I'd think it would be fine, after all, they're just superficial changes after the fact. By which I mean, have the main graphics and such done, but small things like animations and the like... well, that shouldn't be an issue. If the game is playable and presents itself as a complete game it counts, right? As long as the storyline isn't cut half-way through or there's blank pieces where animations/graphics should be.
Like, using the RTP and then later making fully custom is just an upgrade. The specifics of the mapping and such is still a full game. Of course, it's up to the judges on whether that's true or not, but I think it should be fine.

I am working on the main graphics which is no problem for me. After the deadline, I want 3 frame animations with some graphics, and 3-4 character expressions.

Thank you for the info. Making the game on time seems more manageable now.

Things are coming along, made a quick trailer of what I've cooked up in the last four days. Some spoilers, sort of rushed, but will be done by deadline~


(all music, graphics, and the like are original, so fun times~)

Haven't worked properly in the last days... now there's so so so much to do, and only one week left. Time to get crazy and desperate.

Way to late to switch gears, but I was recently reading the "Hakaba no Kitaro" (a.k.a. "Kitaro of the Graveyard") manga(the anime is better though) and now I want to do a game based on it! :p

I have not been very productive lately. But hey, I'm still plugging away, so hopefully I should be finished on time.

Just gotta finish my story. Somehow it's ended up very open. You can pretty much go anywhere and find out information in any order.. Ah well, whatever works.

The insides of a ghost orb are obviously more ghost orbs.

My game page finally got accepted!! http://rpgmaker.net/games/5656/ =D

Of course, now it's just a matter of whether I can finish the actual game or not =]
(and does anyone know how to change the background or add an image to the banner..? I'd love to change it if I knew how Dx)

AS, the answer to the first question is here:

CSSing Game Profile

I don't know if it covers the second one ... perhaps somebody else can chime in?
