CloseI might take this project and add the project to my game instead of making a new project. So if the project is specified it needs to be dancing pandas and a romance with a laser, I'll add that to my game :-)

All art, music, and materials used to create the game must be in the public domain!
What's the meaning of this exactly?
Means no rips?
Means no mp3 from record labels?

It means original graphics, RTP, clipart or sprites created before 1900 =P

I'm afraid whatever I make on my own will suck, so if anyone wants a helping hand, I'm for hire.
As long as the project is being made with VX, that is.

Yo Lord Lord Kries. Maybe you could join up with me. I'm doing a project with VX.
I'd like to make a request, and I think I'd better do it now because it's fairest moment to do so:
How about 20 days, instead of 15?
Here's what I'm thinking:
After asking for some opinions in this topic, it's pretty clear that a key process in making a game in little time is planning ahead... planning everything ahead, preferrably. I imagine a decent planning of a game, no matter how short it is, should take at least 2 days.
Since original art is heavily encouraged, I expect almost everyone to spend a reasonable amount of time designing custom resources... let's say, 3-5 days. Maybe I still don't get it, but the only actual "public domain" graphic material is RTP, so is everyone going to use either entirely custom graphics or RTP?
No matter how small, any game requires a day or two for polishing and finishing touches, plus a day or two for beta testing.
If you discount all of those things, that doesn't leave much time to actually MAKING a game. And I understand the purpose of this event is not the same as that of events like Release Something! or Action 52 RMN, because Game Gale actually aims for QUALITY projects.
My point is: adding 5 extra days, in a way, is almost like doubling the designing time. So it leaves a much better margin for good games.
Please? :)

I'm not against an extra couple days, especially since the theme really requires a good day of bending your thinking around.
Also, helps fit testing in with the schedule of any beta testers you can find!
