Description
Is there any RMN event that you're sad you missed? An event you loved and wish you could take part in again? An event you started making something for but didn't finish?

I planned out some stuff before the start, then immediately threw it out at the start and went in another direction.
Doing this like a true RM dev.

I am immensely tempted to do this myself

Is there going to be a stream for this event?
I'd like to, but I'm not a very good or motivated streamer, so... I make no promises! But hopefully yes.
Changed plans, now I'm just going to make a traditional RPG. Making a platformer is too hard for my current skill set, especially under a time limit. Especially making original assets from scratch. That's honestly the hardest part.

I was kinda hoping for the RM2K3 event. Oh well
I was tempted to include this one, but I decided it was best to filter out the ones where the main gimmick was to just use a particular engine.

Managed to get my entry in. It's a badaptation of Sorry! that fits within 1.44MB. I had to cut a lot of stuff to make it fit within the allotted space... So much that even the ending is missing. So you could also consider it an abrupt ending game for now.
UPDATE: Forgot to remove a debug NPC from the initial build. If you downloaded the game already, please download it again.

I gave the 2 submissions currently available a quick try and wanted to share my comments in case you'd want to improve the games in the remaining time:
Soulrain: Sorry!
pianotm: The Collector
Soulrain: Sorry!
I'm not familiar with the game Sorry! so I can't understand any references made to it as I play this. I don't know if I should.
It's a badaptation... and yes, it's bad :P
Although, for starters, I like the custom art and the isometric view. And being able to form a party out of several characters, although I don't know whether this or that character would make a huge difference...
I reached the first checkpoint and didn't really want to keep playing :P
The first maps are plain and uneventful. The recurrent battle against 3 slimes with nothing but regular attacks at my disposal is not fun. The enemies can one-shot me too. Upgrading your equipment, buying items and healing at the checkpoint's inn require grinding for money.
I couldn't enjoy this game, but I suppose that was the idea.

This one I do want to try again if you polish it some more, fix a few bugs and add a few quality of life improvements.
The concept and first-person view are not what I'd expect of a short RM event game so I was immediately interested in playing.
It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how movement worked. Up moves you in the direction you're facing, but you can't see what direction you're facing so it might be confusing at times. Left and right make you turn 90° and take a step forward as long as there isn't a wall in that direction. And Down seems to be a 180° turn.
The encounter rate is awfully high: about 1 fight every 2 or 3 steps. I ran out of MP early on, so I suppose that this is the kind of game where you have to fail and die a few times in order to learn.
The gameplay is a bit slow for my tastes. I'd like for the enemies to move faster across the screen and for battle messages to go by a little faster too.
It would be nice to implement HP and MP as gauges to give a clearer indication of how much I have left, instead of changing their color.
Some of the letters in the font are a little weird, like "h" that looks like "b" and "d" that have a strange curve.
I also ran into a bug when I found a chest that contained a health potion while I already had one in my inventory: the closed chest's image stayed on screen when I move away.
If you can improve the game within the time remaining, I would definitely give it another try :)

Thank you!!!
pianotm: The CollectorIt took me a couple of minutes to figure out how movement worked.
Movement is just like it would be on a game made for Apple II or Commodore 64. I based this on the old Dungeons & Dragons games.
The encounter rate is awfully high: about 1 fight every 2 or 3 steps.
I am changing how this works and will probably take me a few hours. I can now set a minimum limit with a variable. Under that, no encounter. Over that, random chance for an encounter. It resets to zero once an encounter hits. It's currently set to 5. I'm averaging about 10 steps before I hit anything, at the moment.
The gameplay is a bit slow for my tastes.
That's easy to fix.

I'm not going to change this. Maybe if I make another dungeon crawler, but not for this. It would require several more images and doing the 1.44 jam, I have to think about space. I'd consider it, otherwise, but not for this jam.
Some of the letters in the font are a little weird, like "h" that looks like "b" and "d" that have a strange curve.
1. This would require me to remake every text image. That's just too much.
2. I want a fancy font.
I also ran into a bug when I found a chest that contained a health potion while I already had one in my inventory: the closed chest's image stayed on screen when I move away.
I wish you'd screencapped it so I could find it on the minimap... I had set the picture to the wrong number. That's fixed.
This will take a little time, but I'll probably upload an improved version later today, and if not, definitely tomorrow.

Alright, cool! :)
Another option for the gauges is to have the left part of the HUD (the map and the black background) be shown above the gauges. You can simply move the gauges to the left when they deplete, so they become partially hidden under the HUD, instead of having to draw several gauges.

I did not think about that.
Hmm...I'll take a look at that.
