I have a feeling I'm not going to even place but I will submit anyway, just because I want that lovely makerscores.
Oh my God, it's Sunday. :|

I spent the majority of Friday until about now in 102+ degree fevered dreams. I was really counting on this weekend. :V
I'm totally done with the game actually, I'm just polishing and tweaking and adding all sorts of tiny details and such until last minute. I'm going to make sure it's 100% bug free and such.

I took the week off work for Halloween anyway long before this event, so I have all Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to play!

Nearly done now anyway, just one more vision and I can start doing actual gameplay. I will be finished on time and it will be a freaking awesome little game!

And I will win. You hear that judges! I will win!

Please let me win....

Now, there's a dedicated RMN member!

I'll be around most of the day on the 31st to accept submissions, but please try to get them up by the 30th in case of a last-minute denial. Also, please give up to 48 hours for game submissions to be accepted, as I am quite a busy fellow :) After that, you can nag me all you want.

Are we to get the game submitted by the deadline, or accepted?

I'm torn. I want you to release your game, because I want to play it; but I don't, because I'm a competitive shit who wants to win. Such a dilemma.
So, I'm either the last person to finish the test or the person who didn't finish the test on time (hopefully the first one)...!
Wow playing through what I have done of my game and I've only just realised there is like barely an hour of gameplay... A whole months work and you can finish my game in an hour if you go everywhere and do everything I have planned...

I don't know whether to cry or not...

A well, a short and sweet ghost story it is. Sigh. Hopefully that won't count against me!

At least it will look good... I can be assured of that (despite my rubbish character pics lol)
Aaaand I'm done, except for grammar checks, which I can't do myself since I suck at it. T'was fun.

They should.Because if a ton of games doesn't get approved there will be a big wave of complains that they will received.
(Delete this please got too excited that I double post by accident)
Entry submitted: Game is Up
Available to the public http://rpgmaker.net/games/5592/

PARTY TIME!
I have a question if I upload 2 files of the same game Both EXE and RAR file Should I submit them both or just one?
Nearly done.

(If I keep telling myself that it will be true.)

If I work hard all of today I can be finished by tomorrow. Just gameplay left to do now! Why is gameplay that always takes the most effort to do... Sigh...

I would suspect that's because it is the part the average player tends to care most about. Getting it right, is probably not easy ...
