Description
Welcome to the Game Name Game event! The goal of the event is to take a game name from below, create a synopsis, mockups and concept art, and pitch it to RMN!

GO AND VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE!
Voting ends Friday.

The genesis for this idea came from this game name ideas thread, and that is from where the list of available game names for this event have been compiled.
This is a short event.
You are not going to be making a game. You will be making a pitch and mockup and description of a game. The challenge will be to come up with a good idea for a game based on the name alone! Also, the game submission doesn't have to be funny or a joke - serious game idea entries are welcome.
First, pick a game name from the list below! And then provide the following:
Mockup the Game!
Type of game
The coolest unique thing about it
Give context
Describe an example of play
Create 3 mockup images (minimum)
What question is your game trying to answer?
Pitch the Game!
Short pitch - in 15 words or less pitch your game.
Long pitch - write the content that would show up on the back of the game box
Description on RMN - write the description as you would present it on RMN
An explanation of the above submission requirements...
The type of game would be akin to its genre (or blend of genres), try to use a word that reflects what you actually do in the game. ie- "Platformer", "2D exploration", "top-down hack-n-slash".
For the coolest unique thing, you can summarize drastically. We don't need to know how it works, but we want to know why it's cool. ie- "you can manage four parties of heroes at once!"
Next give us some context: who am I, where am I, what am I trying to do? The plot will never sound good in ten words, but the fantasy might. You're a ninja? You're a knight? You're a ninja-knight saving kittens? You're a kitten-knight saving ninjas? Give us the setting or framework of where the game takes place, and the story behind it. You can go into greater detail here, if required. Also spoilers are allowed.
Now describe a moment the player can experience that's typical of the game, and illustrates the best of what you've just told us. Explain the gameplay.
The mockups can be concept art, rips from other games amalgamated into a new frame of reference (this is pretty common in the industry (most movie industry but hey)), game titlescreen, storyboards or wireframes. Try to explain the aesthetic.
Lastly, what question is your game trying to answer? You might not realize it, but your game is answering a question. Games are a form of self-expression (like any other artform), and as such give a venue for us to answer questions we might have. Seeing as how games are primarily about gameplay, it follows that your question will be about gameplay mechanics. Like, "What if you had a platformer, but played as an enemy?", "What if you extended the concept of the multiparty dungeons in Final Fantasy VI to the entire game?", "What if a traditional RPG had non-traditional classes?". Figure this out for your own game.
For the Short pitch, you have to get to the point, incredibly quickly, in plain and simple language. This is critical to pitching your game. GET. OUR. ATTENTION. 15 words might be too much! Shoot for 10 or less. Imagine you are in an elevator with a game publisher and you had 30 seconds to make your case. Go!
For the long pitch write the content that would show up on the back of the game box. A player is attracted to your cover art and short pitch, and grabs the game for further inspection. You have about three sentences to hook him and about three more to sell it. Go!
This time, the game is on RMN, and your potential player saw your main image, title and short description and clicks on your gameprofile. Write the description as you would present it on RMN, so that he PLAYS your game. Go!

I will select a winner from the list of submissions after the community voting period (The submission deadline is May 5th, and the voting ends May 9th). The voting will factor into my decision but won't (necessarily) be the winner of the community vote.
The copy of RMVXA will be delivered via Steam. You will need a steam account to receive your prize. If you already have RMVXA I have some alternate prizes for you to choose from.
(If you want to be a judge, send me a PM and we can work something out. I am limiting the judging panel to 5 if there is that much interest.)

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.
5958
Did pianotm forget to actually submit his? He posted it in the comments but I can't vote for it.

Okay, that was actually kind of a tough vote.
So, I don't feel just voting is enough, so I'm just gonna list some Top 3's for some random categories!
Best Pitch:
1) Brian Okam's Freethrow Challenge (Addit)
2) The Retelling of a Teenage Swordsman's Exploits (CashmereCat)
3) Oh My Guitar Hero (LockeZ)
Funniest Idea (not the title - the game concept):
1) John Lennon is Not The Hero, Batman Is (pianotm)
2) Oh My Guitar Hero
3) Would You Like Fries With That (mjshi)
Game I most want to play:
1) Shonen Fist (Dyhalto)
2) Little Lost Star (GoatBoy)
3) Oh My Guitar Hero
Most Convincing Mock-Ups:
1) Oh My Guitar Hero
2) Shonen Fist
3) Bridge Over Trolled Waters (SnowOwl)
Prettiest Mock-Ups
1) Little Lost Star
2) Love is an Open Wound And I Want to See It Break (chivi-chivik)
3) Bridge Over Trolled Waters (in a weird sorta way)
Honorable Mentions:
Kuraido, for breaking the site's formatting.
pianotm, for the most awkward-to-view mock-ups. (e: also, for misunderstanding the submission rules.)

*phew* I know that I’m cutting this thing a bit too close for confront, but at least I tried to get something out before the deadline closes soon. There was so much more I wanted to do and showcase on this project, but if it wasn’t for me having this skin irritation shit on both of my hands for most of the week where I couldn’t even move my fingertips ‘cause it hurt so much, I’d probably would have done a lot more, like show some actual gameplay shots / etc. *sigh* Oh well…
Keep note, I plan to actually do this project for realz once I’ve completed Monopolo’s remastered version, which should come out sometime around this summer. I’ve been quiet on that in regards to details, but I’ll eventually release a gamepage on it soon again.
Anyways, this was definitely an interesting type of contest, that’s for sure. I’m not usually the type of person to pound something out in a week like mad, as I like to take my sweet time, but it definitely got me out of my comfort zone. I would love to do another event like this in the future. But, next time, I’ll try picking someone else’s idea. :)
Anyways - I'm going to bed. Good luck, everybody.
EDIT: I’ll add some |hide| tags for most of the heavy duty information the next time I get on RMN. I’d do it now, but I’m sleepy.
Keep note, I plan to actually do this project for realz once I’ve completed Monopolo’s remastered version, which should come out sometime around this summer. I’ve been quiet on that in regards to details, but I’ll eventually release a gamepage on it soon again.
Anyways, this was definitely an interesting type of contest, that’s for sure. I’m not usually the type of person to pound something out in a week like mad, as I like to take my sweet time, but it definitely got me out of my comfort zone.

What Type Of Game Is This???
A single player / multiplayer free throw sports simulation basketball game that’s made in Rm2k3! (you know, the good one.)
And Why Should We Care???
#1: An African American main protagonist for once! (Face it, we more black people in our video game culture, and especially here on RMN.)
#2: RMN NEEDS more sports games added to their lineup, I kid you not. As a major sports fanatic, I am almost appalled with the lack of choices that I find on here to fulfill my precise needs. Sure, there’s Lockball, I guess, and I guess Barkley: Shut Up And Jam Gaiden kinda counts as something (although it’s not on the site at the moment, and it’s pretty much mostly an RPG last time I checked), but it would be nice to have some more sports related titles other than those two that I can recall.
#3: Another multiplayer game! What do we have, like, only six multiplayer games out of like the two thousand games that are here? That’s no good!
#4: We’ll finally have our very own basketball simulation game here on RMN! Yaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!
#5: Because you’ll
Who The F*** Is This “Brian Okam”???
I’m glad that you asked that question.
You play as college basketball superstar sensation Brian Okam, backup center to the unranked, 1-7 Appalachian State Mountaineers from North Carolina of the NCAA. Standing at over 7’ feet tall and weighing in at a somewhat 245 pounds, Brian definitely has the size to back up his incredible numbers of averaging 6.8 points in his short term career and a staggering 36% lifetime average at the free throw line. Not too shabby for a rookie. :D
Of course, with numbers like that, Brian wasn’t really the greatest free thrower on the team. Hell, most of time he was benched in favor of his other teammates and had to sit on the sidelines – waiting for his golden opportunity to get back on the court.
And on Saturday, December 8th, 2012 in a road game against Western Carolina University, he finally got his chance to shine.
Unfortunately, after a little bit of carelessness on his part, it was a day that will forever live on in empathy for poor ol’ Brian, for him, on social media, and the across entire world.
It looked like that this was going to be the end to Brian’s big basketball dreams of someday maybe playing in the NBA, and maybe even becoming a superstar…
But…
The competitive nature and stingiest of the heart of a champion continues to still burn brightly deep within the deepest regions of Brian’s soul. He knew that he couldn’t just walk away and give up his dream just because of one terrible misguided free throw attempt - oh no! The path to certain greatness always has a few stumbling blocks along the way, but the ones that manage to see through the many countless obstacles and conquer his or hers greatest challenges is what separates the pretenders from the contenders. Besides, Brian has already worked pretty damn hard at this school trying to become what he wishes to be, and that was to become the greatest basketball player of all time…but one step at a time, I guess.
In order to continue his climb towards the top of the mountain, he must work hard to correct his biggest failures and obvious flaws in his game, and prove to the entire world that little incident was just a minor default, nothing to be ashamed of.
Go forth, Brian Okam, legendary superstar in the making! Go forth and continue to work on those free throws and become the best player that you can be! Who knows, maybe you might finally become a full time starter one day…

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Oh My Guitar Hero is a rhythm game.
One of the greatest video game scenes of all time, now a heavy metal rock battle.
The game is a reimagining of the famous opera scene from Final Fantasy VI as a rock opera. The original lyrics are closely followed, but the music has been changed to heavy metal.
As a heavy metal version of Darkness and Starlight plays, shred your guitar controller to play the notes that appear on-screen. Optionally, sing the lyrics as you play. Well-sung lyrics will add more complicated notes to the opponent's sheet music, making their guitar-playing harder - but they can do the same to you, which might not leave you with enough concentration to sing as you play.
This game answers the question: Oh my hero, so far away now, will I ever see you rock?

author=DyhaltoWell, its only natural that entries with more time put into them show up as you approach the deadline.
Geez. I thought I was doing okay, but now the big guns are coming out.
(P.S. I'd play the fuck outta Shonen Fist. And Little Lost Star.)
author=TungerManUI do have pretty big stack of ideas piled up. Probably more than I have years of my life to make them. Most of them are of the STG, Beat 'em Up, and/or Platforming variety, though, which is why I'm not much interested in RPG Maker.
Hey Turkey, do you have any plans on making actual games (other than being temped to do Senpai's Notice)? I'm quite impressed, you know, I wouldn't mind seeing your first serious effort. You certainly have a room to grow.
But yeah, just trying to make those mock-ups reminded me of just how little I've really learned after all these years. All I've been doing lately is concept sketches, so trying backgrounds, coloring, planning and layouts... gah! No idea what I'm doing.
I also learned that I really fucking hate GIMP's text functions...

I took the liberty of moving around details from the checklist in the interest of presentation. Because this is a pitching contest.
Name: Final Legacy
Type: Fantasy RPG
Cool gimmick: Quantum turn-based combat!
Short pitch: Dictate the space-time continuum of your foes!
Long pitch: This isn’t your wimpy time-travel game where time is just part of the plot or watered game mechanic. Argue with your enemies about what actions will occur when. Force them wide open to your strongest attacks while setting up a perfect defense against theirs and save your timeline or destroy it.
Description on RMN
A desperate magician invented magic to manipulate the space-time continuum to save the world from a prophesied soon-to-be apocalypse. All the world's nations have marveled and agreed to change history so that the oracle dies before she can deliver the prophecy. Unfortunately, if those efforts go as planned, many, including you (a descendent), will cease to exist in the past, present, and future. World war is brewing between the martyrs willing their own cessation to save humanity and the citizens of the current timeline who think humanity can survive the apocalypse.
Argue with your enemies about what actions will occur when. Force them wide open to your strongest attacks while setting up a perfect defense against theirs and save your timeline…or destroy it.
Features
-Quantum turn-based battle system
-2 separate campaigns
-3 endings

(More details)
Context: It plays like a normal RPG (a story set in a world on the brink of an apocalypse and two factions fighting to control the timeline), except you argue with your enemies over which sequence of moves actually occur. Therefore, game flow is similar to a standard RPG, but there are additional rules dictating what moves occur and when. You and the opposition take turns presenting moves that could occur and one side eventually forces a decision. There is a balancing act between presenting moves and forcing a favorable decision because both actions draw on the same resource, space-time points (STP).
Gameplay: For example, two characters named Charles and Xin are battling their first boss, a mage and his slime familiar, and the mage is glowing from built-up energy for his super move.
A) Player opts to present 2 possible turns (turn1a…Charles: Triple Attack on Mage, Xin: Ultra Counter Stance) + (turn1b…Charles: Guard, Xin: Attack on Slime), some of his STPs are consumed.
B) CPU simultaneously presents 2 possible turns (turn2a…Mage: Super Magic on Xin, Slime: Attack on Xin) + (turn2b…Mage: Super Magic on Charles, Slime: Attack on Charles), some of its STPs are consumed.
C) Player sees his STP running low and has to decide between a) creating turn 3a/3b and letting the CPU decide on the actions or b) decide on the order of actions. If the CPU gets to choose, the Player can predict that it will choose turn order 1a-2b, but the Player can sneak in an extra turn for the next set…which could be a retroactive move for making: turn1a…Charles: Guard, Xin: Attack on Slime. Retroactive moves can even force recalculation of moves already executed! If the Player wants to choose, then he plans on turn order 1a-2a, but the CPU could sneak in an extra turn for the next set.
C1) If both Player and CPU tried to settle the turn order, 1a, which both agreed upon, will become the moves for Charles and Xin and execute immediately. The STPs that both sides spent (for turns 1 and 2) return to their STP pool. Turn 2 carries over into the next set and the stakes go up as both sides must start by suggesting turn 3 and 4 (in addition to settling turn 2 with 3 and 4).
C2) If both Player and CPU tried to make an extra move, and neither now has enough STP to settle the moves, the stakes go up as turns 1 and 2 carry into the next set with 3 and 4. Both get their STPs back to begin arguing over their next turns. And if the Player made that retroactive move, his max STP for the rest of the current battle goes down. Settling will determine moves 1-4.
It turns out that the Player settled 1a-2a, and they execute for Xin doing a perfect counter off the Mage and Slime’s attacks as the CPU presents its turn 4a/4b (which becomes turn 3a/3b). The Player and CPU will now present for turns 4 and 5.
It’s a lot less complicated than it might sound.
Question
What would a game look like if magic treated space and time seriously?
