Description

We've had a few game dev events in a row now with several more on the way later in the year, so let's take a little break with something a bit more chill!

The aim is to make a short, playable experience with up to 5 maps, taking place in any type of interior area (Cafes, aquariums, schools, museums, etc). Submissions must be more of an interactive exploration sim than a game.

If you need an example for this type of game, check out Apartment Simulator on the site, it won't take any longer than 5 minutes of your time.

RULES
- Max 5 maps. Max map size 50x50 each. No minimum size.
- No gameplay (cutscenes, battles, endings, puzzles, etc) but small interactions are okay.
- Your maps must all be indoor areas.
- You do not need game pages for this event.
- No minimum playtime required.
- Your entry must be made entirely within the event's timeframe.
- Any engine, any resources. If your engine isn’t tile based, or you’re making a 3D entry, take the 50x50 map size limit as an approximate guideline. I’ll be lenient as long as what you make is within reason.
- This is a solo event, and teams are not allowed.

REWARDS
  • Somewhere Nice - 40MS
    Submit an entry to the event.



  • Guest Rooms - 20MS
    Play and provide feedback on other entries during or after the event.

Hmmm, this looks like an interesting test to make something more simplistic, I may give this a try.

No worries, since people wanted it, there's a solid chance I'll run it some time in the future. Just not very near future.

A world map is an interior area... inside of an atmosphere

I really was down at first but then I had some ideas that I could try out here. Perhaps I WILL be cozy????

It seems that this game event does not require much development time, 7 days should be enough. Fortunately, it does not need to produce much content.

Well, I might be able to put a little something together for this.

Lav said on the discord that their plan was to use this event as an excuse to make some standalone interiors for a non-event project and I just wanna say this is awesome and you are 100% allowed to do this.
Mapping, any engine, any resources! :-) Count me in !

Update regarding games not being made in rpg maker:

If your engine isn’t tile based, or you’re making a 3D entry, take the 50x50 map size limit as an approximate guideline. I’ll be lenient as long as what you make is within reason.
Going 3D would be quite ambitious. I'll stick to a custom tile based engine loading maps created with Tiled. Consequently, anyone can easily check the map sizes.
Got mine submitted! Hopefully it shouldn't be too messy.
making a map is actually more enjoyable than i thought. i might participate in the next mapping event too.

EDIT: just looked at the other entries, but it seems that Ulevo's entry got an error "Cannot open file Vehicles" and there is a collision error on lavender's game on the video console cabinet's second floor and the table in the kitchen's first floor. other than that, i liked the maps.
Submitted my map!
It's surprisingly fun to create your own tileset yet really hard to make it consistent.

Okay-ku! Entry is in! I apologize in advance for the blatant use of Freelancer tracks, and for any possible confusion as to how the entry ends. I will not, however, apologize for dumb jokes made, or for a certain overly pretentious name for a character mentioned in one of the six random news stories.
Submitted mine. I tried to make it so you didn't need the 2003 RTP but still have it just to be on the safe side.

There's a conductor admin panel in front of your chair, btw.

Instead of packaging like I usually do, I just zipped up the project file.

I used to make games. I still do, but I used to too.
