Description
"We can talk about the merits of engines all we want. It'd be really cool to encourage another renaissance where there's not crazy expectations for a magnum opus RPG, but more just story oriented pixel art games made by people who don't take it too seriously."
Let's spend month putzing around RPG Maker 2003 like it's 2004 again.
In this event, load up RM2k3 (official or otherwise) - or any other engine of that era - and create...
Project1 - play around in the engine with the default assets to figure out how the engine works
2k3's Adventure - a short RTP game showcasing the engine, with a dog as a playable character
Yume Nik2k3 - Release an atmospheric walking simulator
The 2k3 Way - release the first episode of a story-centric fantasy
Vapor2k3ware - release a gameprofile with ridiculous beautiful screenshots but nothing else
2k3 vs. Dog - a complex battle engine demo game
Pom Gets RM2k3 - have your release be played by a streamer
2003 Shots - break the engine in clever ways
2k3's Realm - release a demo of your eventual magum opus (to be completed by 2026)
2k3 Funeral - release a compellingly different game in style and substance
Alex d'Orm2k3 - Translated a foreign RPG Maker game into English
*NEW*
Inspiring 2k3 Dev - Inspired others to work on their projects for the event
Glitch 2k3 - Game submitted to Boulevard of Broken 2k3 Dreams being an unplayable, glitchy mess, just like a proper beginner 2k3 game!
*SURPRISE*
Joined 2k3 Event - Joined the Boulevard of Broken 2k3 Dreams event (super secret achievement!). Achievement just for doing the bare minimum and signing up!
There aren't any real rules or objectives to this event - it's pretty chill. You can even load up old forgotten projects and work on them! You don't have to finish anything or even release anything playable (just like in 2004)! Make a gameprofile! Or just screenshots! I am going to be generous with achievements in the end.
You have a month. Go!

I map a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I code alone
... in RM2k3

I took today off of work but I probably won't even finish my demo because I messed up my foot and had to spend all of yesterday at the doctor. I also dunno what time the server time is for the cut-off? I guess I could still do a Vapor2k3ware entry with the maps I've already finished.

fell into the fatal trap of finding beautiful beautiful tilesets online and then spending wayy too much time making maps instead of gammak'ing...
in the spirit of the event, i'm gonna say i'll Toootally come back and finish the game later. i super duper pinky promise it won't just fall into the cracks between my files and never be found again. i prommy

it's not too busy, it's very easy on the eyes, but also grabs your attention?

hmm about 24 hours left
I got a smattering of half finished maps, some mechanics that don't work (I realized way too late you can't check if an enemy has a condition, heck you can't even check a player has a condition in battle events!) and characters with one defined stat, time to see what I can put together!

here is my submission in case i didn't have time to work more on it today: https://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/60485/locker/LunchDelivery.exe
it's pretty much unfinished (sorry), but the content should be done after you are about to leave the forest.
edit: it should at least be eligible for Project1 and maybe other categories if you really want to squeeze it in, but i'll just leave that to your discretion for that.
edit2: if it doesn't work, try downloading rmxp's rtp. i don't have enough time to put a build without it.

Unexpectedly, everyone has already uploaded the game, and I don’t know if I will still have time. I will try my best to release a playable demo version before the deadline.

I guess you can't submit stuff unless it has a download? let this be on the record for being vaporware: https://rpgmaker.net/games/13000/

Yeah, I also can't submit without a download, but here's my vaporware. I don't know if the screenshots are ridiculous enough, maybe I'll try and do a cute title card before the deadline. https://rpgmaker.net/games/13001/
Oh, I just realized! There's no achievo for someone's game being an unplayable, glitchy mess, just like a proper beginner 2k3 game!

forgetting to make your player character invisible on the first map should be an achievement
