Description

Halloween is here once more and it's time to make a game in a month!



Ever read a story that started out all happy and cute and sweet and then something happens that just twists it into the horror territory abruptly? Say, oh, a young, innocent girl makes friends with a fluffy magical creature who gives her magical powers but she slowly dies every time she uses them? Or, hey, best friends go on a picnic together, only for one of them to kill the other in a jealous rage over a boy?

Cute stuff can turn creepy very fast, and that's what the aim of this Halloween event is this year! Creating a cinnamon sweet premise with a terrible twist ending!

Let's go kill some cuties!



- You have one month to make the game, starting from 12:01am 1st of October until 12:01am 2nd November.
- Games must have a game page! Please make sure to have them done a week before the end date!
- Games must abide by the rules of the site.
- There must be at least 10 minutes of gameplay!
- Any resources and engine are fine. (May I point you towards the RMN Music Packs 1 and 2 for free to use music?)
- Resources cannot be made for this event until it starts.



- Create a game page for your game before the 26th.
- Upload your game to the page when it is accepted.
- Come to this page, click Submit in the heading and choose the download.



If you'd rather I don't stream your game after the event, do let me know via PM here or DM on Discord.

Soooo...I voted for
So my grandmother come up to me the other day and she brought me this iced coffee, and she told me it wasn't alcoholic but it was and I drank so much of it and then I guess I made this event but I really remember doing it.
Can I participate alone? Or is it strictly in teams?
Alone is perfectly fine! Teaming up is an option for those who want to work with others, but single is great as well. Heck, there's an option to be on more than one team, too, or make your own game and help another team as well, if you like.

Or make two separate games by yourself. Just a matter of getting it done!

cute event! Good luck, everyone!
I had a few ideas and decided to go with something outside the box. I barely began the writing phase and will see how it goes...

Good luck and have fun, everyone!

I feel like I already started something way too ambitious. I should probably scale down a little.
Not very good at making Halloween themes.




But then again, about joining the team, how to join?

You join by either joining the event yourself first, then top right "My Teams" and add your teammate. Or, you are added by your teammate to the team.
Question: must the games be Complete or is it fine to submit a demo with the required 10 minutes of gameplay?

We really need an event focused on the concept of scaling back

News of the week:
I have the plot. If you have already watched the movie Coraline where a girl goes to a parallel world ; you should be familiar with my game.
Sophie is a young girl whose cat went through the mirror in her bedroom. That mirror takes them to the parallel world which is a perfect copy of the real world. But there's something wrong there...

I'm not really sure if I would turn this to a RPG or a puzzle-horror game.

Teaser:

Damien is Sophie's older brother. Totally a weeb.

Coraline is one of my favourite movies!! I like your game already lol. I also thought of doing something similar to coraline but in the I came up with something else. And about Damien's room I love the details tbh
Edit: Does Damien have acne?

Yep. I manually added it when I've created the portrait with a generator. Same thing done to the charset.

For some reason I didn't notice it in the portrait but only in the chara XD
Btw maybe you could edit the shadow color on the neck 'cause it looks like he has no neck on a black background.
20 days left.
How is everyone doing?

I began making custom 8-bit art. I also want to compose original music and sound effects but that won't be a priority.
I'm hoping to be ready to start working in the engine in less than 10 days so I'll have plenty of time to test for bugs and adjust difficulty.

Hey guys! I am actually kinda doubtful if the plot of my game suits the event description? I mean, it has to have that cute and pure atmosphere right? But for how long? Because for my game the "cuteness" lasts for... Uhm... Just the intro scene? And I think that's wrong, right? I hope it's still ok otherwise I have to find another plot, and that takes time
