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?

If anyone gives me a shout that they need a gamepage accepted before the deadline I'll get to it asap (just remember the rules so that there's no risk of game page denial. Couple sentences on both story AND gameplay each, screenshots that fit the game page, title screens or promo art etc do not count towards minimum 3 screenshots)
It's too late to pass the review of my gamepage, please take a look.

Welp, I got a demo out with only 6 hours to spare. Lucky me! Hopefully you all enjoy my little project. \(*w*)/

Edit: The event is now officially over. Not a lot of entries this time, but making an entire game in just a month is hard work! I completely understand. In my case, I tried making a simple platformer in the first couple of weeks but it was way too hard and way too time consuming to make new assets for literally everything, so I moved to go-ol MV to do an entirely different concept. Only problem is that I lost half of the dev time on a project I ended up abandoning, so I wasn't able to get the full game done in time. RIP me I guess. At least I added a demo!

I did a thing but I'm not 100% happy with it due to the amount of cuts I had to do just to get something with some sort of shape 8'D. But oh well, TOO BAD!

I downloaded all the gams already. If someone is still working on their thing, hope they link it here when it's done. :3

Congratulations to everyone who submitted and participated :)

I took the time to play a few more entries (not all of them yet). Here are my thoughts and opinions, if you're interested:


Fflo: When Death Wills - Underworld Accountant Agency
Show
Creative setting, good use of sound effects to support the scenes. I like the relaxed mood of the game to which the chill music track contributes. I had a couple of good chuckles at the few jokes that are thrown around.
The difficulty is appropriate. I didn't want to cheat so I refrained from writing anything down and still got 8/10 and 10/10.
I wish that the auto-scrolling text in the intro would remain on screen for a tad longer because I didn't have time to read everything. Another suggestion I'd make, if possible, is to show all the right answers along their respective questions when a quiz is over, or to highlight the correct answers after each question (that might require the use of Pictures).
Overall, the game is a nice, short distraction with good potential for a deeper plot.


Ulevo: Initial Legend
Show
I'm sorry to say that I didn't play much because I couldn't enjoy it. I felt like the game brought to light a lack of experience from the developer, as there are many small annoying design decisions that pile up and make it unenjoyable. I do enjoy the Final Fantasy 1 feeling that was aimed for. I feel like there's plenty of room for improvement and it would be nice to see where an overhaul of this game could lead it.


shuruzy: One Final Burial
Show
Solid visuals and good use of sound effects. The remixed music is very nice and enjoyable on its own, adding mood and atmosphere to the single image dungeons. Dialogues between the quirky characters are entertaining. Pacing is great and ensures that you learn the importance of every new skill you get. Overall, it's pleasant to play and well-polished.
I stumbled upon a few bugs: SP shown on the dungeon maps doesn't update after revival. The snakes lose 1.66666666667 SP after a certain attack, which looks really silly.
I made it to the 4th dungeon (I think? Maybe it's the 5th).
The big downside is that the experience is very linear, even during battles, due to the combination of having a limited set of skills and only 1 or 2 of them being useful when facing each enemy. Replay value would be very low for me. It's a good concept though, and could also be suitable for a bigger, longer, more complex and less linear game.


Karsuman, Craze, Silviera: One Million Steps
Show
Pretty well-designed town with plenty of loot to find and a good selection of equipment to buy that will have you return several times. The gameplay is the focus, offers some variety and is pretty solid despite lacking creativity.
While the party's interactions and casual comments are entertaining, it lacks in terms of plot or well-defined objectives to keep me motivated from one task to the next. All you do is to take treasure chests and fight random encounters. There aren't any puzzles or traps, mini-games, side quests or engaging cutscenes to break the monotony.
Another thing that annoyed me is the fairly low hit rate of my party's attacks, especially Elena's.
I played for a little less than an hour and haven't finished exploring the forest (2nd dungeon).
While you could expect more from a team of veteran developers such as this one, overall it's a decent submission for the event.

Hey Event Event, I will stream all games from Event Event in about 1h30min from now, feel free to come by. I hope I will do them all in one go but we'll see what happens. xD
Here's stream link: https://www.twitch.tv/zorochii

I'll later on upload the VOD to youtube so it doesn't get lost and stuff, and it should be available later too as a highlight.

Thanks very much for the feedback! I'm glad to hear the dialogue was enjoyable and that the pacing was good.

Yeah I sadly noticed that snake SP issue too late before entries were due. Hoping to find out what happened there. And yeah the whole game was made very linear, I won't lie. For a jam game I figured it works, but a longer game, I'd definitely make some changes. & the rest area after the 4th floor is the end of the demo, so it sounds like you got close to the end.

Thanks again for playing!
