I'm not going to meet the deadline. Good luck to everyone else.
I've given up on the deadline, but not on the project! The team is just gonna be taking our own sweet time about getting it finished instead of rushing it! :p
I've given up my life, but not the deadline.

I've given up my life, but not the deadline.

Amen. Who needs sleep, right?
I've given up my health, but not the deadline!
Ok, so my game is ALMOST finished. All I have to do now is fix some rough edges, add a credits screen, choose one soundtrack for a certain map, and prepare premade savefiles. Testers, I shall send you the file tonight!
Just finished my game and I'm now compressing it!

http://rpgmaker.net/games/5642/

I hope my game does well and I made it in a week mind you. The story is more naritive based but there is plenty of gameplay. The game is about 10-15 min long.
The game is now up! I hope that I do well in the contest and I also hope that everyone will vote for Dark Mirror!

Also if you download my game can you please tell me if I added the text fix? Thank you!
I don't know if Fomar referenced this in the thread yet, but he's doing little "let's plays" for the entries. I've watched most of them (I passed over Rust and Blood for now since I don't think it had commentary). They've been a good way to see all the competition in a consolidated space. Here's the link to his channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Fomar0153/videos

There's been an interesting mix of entries. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.

(Also, Fomar: I'm a guy. I don't blame you for referring to me as a girl, though; this is the peril of having a unisex name. Oh, and corn dogs are hot dogs (sans bun) that have been impaled on a stick, battered, and deep fried. They're popular at carnivals and there's currently a pre-cooked 24 pack icing over in my freezer.)
good thing i got my game up yesterday, because the computer i was using won't turn on now... i'm starting to thing computers hate me...

just watched the lets play of my game... can i just say i hadn't realised i'd forgotten to add in a note in the courtyard area to say that you can't go anywhere but north at first.

Fomar. Thanks for the awesome playthrough, and if you try the left path you can find the fishing pond. if you wish to try again. but only after you've spoken with Aunt Annie... you were also on the right track in the graveyard for that illusive letter. lol

Maybe I should write a walkthrough. lol

So two days (barely) before deadline Fomar taunts me into entering. Wish me luck, text absed adveture here we gooo~

(Hey 4 outta 6-7 endigns are done already, I may even make it!)
I trimmed the 2nd through to 4th playthroughs down as I had 2 hours of footage and most of it was repetitive and I had ran out of things to say. I think it was in the second playthrough when I wondered aloud whether you were British because on a T.V. show recently they accidently mixed ammonia and bleach and made chlorine gas (mostly I was just rambling) but then I came across corn dogs and I've never seen them over here.

I'm also reviewing each game when I finish. Hoping to stay on top of the entries, currently I'm at 8/11 on playthroughs and writing my 8th review atm. When I spoke to StarSkipping last he was ahead of me on playing the games. Hopefully we'll get the results out pretty soon after the contest.

Edit: I haven't finished the review so I'll go check those bits out dragons fire.
Cool. Looking forward!

and incase i never said it before. Good luck everybody!!!!
@Fomar0153 Gotta say, you're making me and Caz look incredibly lazy with your review output as of late. >.<




I was inspired by Libby and her awesome and helpful videos during the Lite Cook Off.

Don't feel lazy, I work in a school and it's the school holidays so I have plenty of time this week. If this had been a Christmas contest then they'd be getting a bullet pointed list in feedback and I wouldn't have had the time to mess around with recording videos.
Here's my gamepage everyone...
Almost done with it. I'm taking a day off of school tomorrow to get everything finalized ;_;

http://rpgmaker.net/games/5676/
and......bugfixes done! It's all submitted and everything.

It can be found here if you don't want to wait a day.
Well, the WombatRPGs team has overcome the WORST NEWS IMAGINABLE and has a live gamepage again. Download will be up shortly. It's nice to be done.
