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 did the first pass for the achievements!I have not PLAYED any of the games and cannot speak to the veracity of the claims for the categories. I simply trusted you all (except Yeaster) and awarded things as suggested. Also, if you got Vapor2k3ware AND submitted a game congrats! I am not going to go back and fix that - so you win a free achievement.
I am super-psyched with how this event shaped up and played out! You all seemed to have great fun and I had a lot of fun running it and chirping from the sidelines.
Maybe we can do something like this again next year.
Here's what I got from scouring the event messages, and the submission lists, and team lists, and suggestions from posts and PMs:

I saw the first one in a tweet a few days ago, but haven't been keeping tabs. Thanks!
I'm not sure I should get Project1 (are Dragon Quest rips default assets for VX Ace?) but I feel like 2k3s Realm fits. Though 2026 might be an early release

Apparently my game is unplayable in Windows 11... Does that means I get the new Glitch 2k3 badge ?
My game qualifies for Glitch 2k3 too (but that Achievement didn't exist when I submitted my game, and I didn't really know that was an Achievement until now). Also, is it okay to nominate the event's entries for MISAOS nomination? (i.e., via that "Nominate" button on a game's profile page). I've been wanting to nominate the Goku's revenge one for "Game of the Year" (and some of the other categories), like my review here claimed: https://rpgmaker.net/users/kiyasu/locker/Project1_Review_by_kiyasu.pdf Would be interesting if anyone nominates mine for some MISAOS categories too. I'm also interested in nominating other entries for some categories :D
Also, everybody's entries is unplayable for me in Windows 11 because I can't play any game before RPG Maker XP. Like I get stuck at the title screen and it doesn't recognize any input from me (but music still plays). Couldn't stream anyone's games because of this issue, and my Windows XP has issues that seem to make video recording impossible.

I wasn't trusted to get anything? lol Oh, well.
I thought the whole point was to put something out with 2k3. I might've misunderstood. Or did I not submit a download?! Idk what I did.

Glitch 2k3 badge for everyone who submitted a download !
EasyRPG might help you: it can run RM 2k and 2k3 games. Games that don't have patches run smoothly. For games that have patches, the patches might get ignored.
For my game, you can run the Linux version because Windows 10 and 11 can run Linux apps using WSL. The Linux version of the game was compiled for Ubuntu. WSL comes with Ubuntu by default, so you can give it a try. Let me know how it goes.
