You are required to include in this game at least 3 items from the following list, in some way, shape or form:
RULES
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
PRIZES
All participants who successfully submit a valid entry to the event will receive a participation achievement worth 50ms. The winner will receive an additional 100ms achievement for being so awesome. (Hey, not every event needs hundreds of dollars in prizes! This event is "old school RMN".)
Good luck and merry Christmas!

THEME
Design a single winter-themed dungeon for the player to navigate through.
You are required to include in this game at least 3 items from the following list, in some way, shape or form:
- Gingerbread Men
- Prayer
- Frosty the Snowman's hat
- Hockey
- Fancy dinner party
- Bing Crosby
RULES
- The contest starts now (December 19th, 2013) and goes until January 9th at 11:59pm GMT. Entries must be made during this time-frame. Existing games and projects are not eligible entries for this event.
- Only completed games are allowed
- Teams of any size may work together to create a game.
- All art, music, and sound should be original, public domain or purchased by yourself. When you made it is not important so long as you have proper rights to it. Entrants may stray from this rule if they wish, but should expect harsher judgments towards ripped content than original.
- Your game must run on the Windows platform. Your game should not require any additional components that a judge would have to purchase or download.
- Games should come with a readme.txt file of some sort, describing how to play the game, listing any resources used that are not yours, and describing what components the game needs to run.
- At the end of the contest, 4 judges will rank each game using their own scoring system, and provide commentary for the entries. The final outcome will be determined by the judges. A winner and a runner-up will be selected.
- Entries not submitted by the end time will not be accepted.
- Extensions might be possible, but will be granted only by popular vote and judge approval (ie. don't rely on it). If extensions are given, they will apply to everyone, for fairness. If an extension does occur it will be only a few days at most.
- Your game can be of any genre, not just RPG. (You don't need to have battles, for example!)
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
- Step 1: Sign up for the contest in the "Registration" section below this event description. You can enter this event solo or as a team. Additionally, you may submit as many games or join as many teams as you'd like.
- Step 2: Create your game page. Normal submission rules apply.
- Step 3: Post your download to the game page once it's approved.
- Step 4: Submit your game download to the contest by using the commands on the upper-right corner of this page.
PRIZES

OK, so I don't need to make any adjustments to my clock. Damn, had hoped it would be a US time which would buy me an extra 6 to 8 hours! XD
Check the End Date on your event page! It's automatically set to your timezone and says what time it ends :O

Example from Wine & Roses. You can put any fonts the game uses in there, and the game will utilize them without them needing to be installed on the PC the game is being played on. =)
A game can use more than one font?
I guess a more pressing question would be...how do I change the font? xD

Well, some scripts give you the options in configuration. But if you're not using one of those:
Font.default_name = "fontname"
pasted in Main above rgss_main { SceneManager.run }
You need to surround "fontname" in square brackets, but I couldn't in my example :\
You can set other options for the font as well.
Font.default_size = 18
Font.default_outline = false
Stuff like depending on your needs.
Check the Font section of the Ace Help Contents for a full list.
Font.default_name = "fontname"
pasted in Main above rgss_main { SceneManager.run }

Use the code BB tag!
Font.default_name = ["VL Gothic"]
If you don't mind tweaking things around to fit your needs, Yanfly's scripts (Core Engine and Message System especially) can help with setting up fonts, especially if you want one for menus, one for text boxes, one for battle numbers, etc.
http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/
You can change a font within a window class with the line
contents.font.name = "Steinem"
and then after you've draw_text'd what you needed to, use
reset_font_settings
#or; this is if you don't want to remove color/size/etc. changes too
contents.font.name = Font.default_name
edit: haha wow code tags look horrible on this event's CSS

So, call me insane but I'm switching development to RM2k3 and going on a major push tonight and tomorrow night to actually make something!
Question, deadline is midnight 09 Jan 2014, but what time zone?
Screw it! I am doing this too lol
Time for a glorious train wreck

That would be why I ditched the code tags.

Hmm, well I don't want to add scripts because it's just a simple game that uses all event coding. Adding a new font is the only thing I want to do. I put in that line for font, with the square brackets, and it did change the font..only it's not the right font. I don't understand how. I made the Fonts folder and put it in there, I even have it installed on my PC. It's a font that looks very pixel-y, but in the game it's showing some kind of basic looking font. Even if I put a non-existing font name in the script editor, I get that same font. Is there something about the type of font, only certain ones work?
Nevermind! I was putting in .ttf, it's working now. Thanks.

Here's a mapping preview. I doubt I'm going to make the deadline which is really disappointing. Damn missus, baby, Christmas, New Year's and day job. I think it's the resource requirement (ie no rips) that's killed me, spent a lot of time spriting and very little time developing. Even if I miss the deadline I'll probably finish my game anyways, for fun.
I updated the event CSS to use a dark blue color for code background. Might need to do a refresh to see the change.

The reason I switched was because I'm used to making sprites for 2k3 and I find it easier to work with it's mapping system. With time being in short supply I'd rather work in an engine I'm more familiar with.

Looks much better now, thanks!

Makes sense. I'm just an asshole.
Hey, uhn I hate to be a brothers but could somebody approve my game page? Then I could totally upload and submit it in time. I put up screenies I took with my phone and a sufficient description for it. Its title is balloon prince versus ice prince.

I didn't know you needed a game page to submit, that's kind of dumb. Most events when you click on submit you choose a file, not an existing download. Can't we just submit a link to our game here before the deadline?
I don't even have the game finished, how can I make a game page? xD
and no I don't have enough for a bare bones game page

If you guys can’t manage to submit a gamepage in time but you have finished your game, then you can just post the link to it in this page in the meantime and whenever you happen to get your gamepage up then just submit a download for it later (or at least put a download link up in this page to avoid missing the deadline date altogether - 'cause that would suck).
- Only less than a day left to go!
Hopefully everybody can get their entries submitted in time. :)
