Description
This has been a big year for the RPG Maker series, with the release of RPG Maker 2000 and RPG Maker 2003, as well as the news of RPG Maker MV coming in the future! As such, we've held a fair amount of RM-only events. But what about the other engines out there? There's a lot of them and with the recent Humble Bundle packs and new releases, they haven't seen much time in the spotlight in the site.
Thus, this time we're going to even the score - No RPG Maker event is a go!
Make a game during the month of October in an engine that is not part of the RPG Maker series.
- Make and release a project with-in the month of October, 2015.
- Only non-RM engines are allowed.
- No teams. (Though you can get people to help you, there's only a single prize and divvying it up would be quite difficult.)
- Only one per person.
- RM-clone engines are not allowed. It's a challenge people! Embrace it!
- You may release a demo or full game, but you an only win first prize with a full game. (Other prizes can be won with demos, though.)
- Games must have at least 10-20 minutes of game time.
- You cannot use an old game as a base, though you can certainly remake a game in a different engine. And pre-made resources are fine.
- Rips, edits, RTP and custom are all good.
All games must be submitted to the event page by the 31st of October, 11:59 GMT.
You may start brainstorming but nothing else until the 1st of October.
There will be NO extensions so plan your time wisely and make prayers to the Gods of Fate.
The First Place prize will be a 3D printed coin with the RMN logo on one side and your username on the other. The winner will also receive a badge and 80MS. Only a full game can win this prize.
2nd Place will receive a badge and 60MS.
3rd Place will receive a badge and 40MS.
All others will receive a badge and 25MS.
Placings will be picked by vote, but only votes by those who have been on the site before the competition started will count, so calling on tumblr or reddit to swing you to win won't work.
For those who don't recall (or know) we do have an engines page in case you've no idea where to start. You can also start checking out the different engines right away. Dive on in!
To sumbit:
FAQ
Is RPG Toolkit taken as a clone engine?
I'm gonna go with yes and say 'Go challenge yourself, mate'. There's a lot of engines out there. We have a huge list of them on the engines page and a bunch of them are free.
Does it have to cooperate with Windows 7?
Make it compatible with at least Windows XP and 7. If people can't play your game they can't vote for it after all. Also, yes, PC Master race.
Will there be any theme or more guidelines given?
There might be additions to the guidelines depending on questions asked, though that will be more clarification. No theme.
So I can start working on ma gam right now?
Is it October yet? The start and end dates are shown in the top-right corner of the page, under the submit and management buttons. You can mess around to get used to an engine, but no actually making a start on your game. Brainstorming is fine, though. No concrete work!

To sumbit:
Create a game page for your game, abiding by the rules of the site. It is highly recommended that you do this at least a few days before the end of the event!
Upload your game to the gamepage and then click the Submit button at the top of this page. From there you can choose the download you mean to submit.
This must all be done before the end date of the competition.

What a good opportunity to try new engines!
Which ones are the easiest to get into when you have no prior programming knowledge?

Well, I don 't noRM-ally use anything more complicated than RPG Maker
This was a really good joke that I think deserves to be quoted :)
I'm excited for this! Then again, I only join events here when they are for any engine, just because I never use RPGMaker.
Then I'll just have to really turn up the strange-ness, engine-wise. Maybe I'll finally commit to making a game in a proper functional language, like Mercury or Haskell.

I need to get active in these events so why not. I finally have a reason to use SMBX again. Which is always a plus in my book (if I had one)
Creating an entire game in one month without recycling lots of graphics or using prefabricated ones is going to be pretty hard.
So go small. And you can use other graphics and such - rips/custom/edits/whatever - it's just the program itself that is different.
Yeah I'm gonna try and use premade resources or churn out rubbish ones in no time at all. Going Space Funeral style might be cute.
I dislike using things that are not mine though.
I'll try to go small. Like, a game with two levels-kind of small.
Or small in the literal sense. A game in teeny tiny eye-strain-o-vision.
Eep there's not even time to brainstorm, october starts this wednesday!
AAAAAAAAA

If you have used RPG Maker I don't think Renpy is that hard. There is a tutorial included in the engine and you just need to copy and paste certain parts into the script. Once you get started it isn't that terrible. Though you'll need to chase down graphical rips like crazy to fit that one month deadline.
author=Frogge
I hope Tyrano Builder is ok. It's like Ren'py but... yeah it's literally the same shit.
Didn't know about this program. Looks much easier (don't even need to use scripting.) Renpy requires scripting to do anything. But is free compared to Tyrano Builder. (Does that program include graphical assets? That would make the price worth it in my opinion.)
Liberty, could you change the CSS so we can see certain words? You can't see some links, names, timestamps, etc.
(Unless this was intentional.)
(Unless this was intentional.)
I can see them perfectly well? The only thing that's hard to see is MS. Maybe try a hard refresh? This is what I see: http://i.imgur.com/ob8Eqf8.png
I can see everything too.
Also woah liberty so many tabs
are you watching three animes at the same time?

There is way too many options.I might use Adventure studio (even is the scripting will take a while to learn but it actually easy if you look into it...)
And i might use OHRRPGCE since you can actually change between Active and turn-battle system and have additional stats like vigor and whatnot with alot of and even a built-in Steal command..but the interface is really wierd for me.not using your mouse on something like this will
take a long time.So i'm having a hard time deciding what to use to make a game..
Is anyone here uses OpenBOR..?

I tend to have tabs open when I've been checking on them for a while. This is actually pretty damn tame. My record is 56 and that was for about a month or so, so... yeah.

OK for some reason they're working now, and I didn't need to do a hard refresh, or maybe I did one by accident, but now it's working just as needs to. Cheers!
Edit: Also, I think I'm creating a Flash puzzle game.
This is a really cool idea for a contest! If I wasn't on a deadline crunch, I'd probably give Ren'py a try, or look at something that would let me build a platformer. As it is, I'll be sitting this one out, but I'll be cheering for you all and looking forward to what you come up with ^_^
Yay, I'm not the only one! XD ...Sooz makes fun of me for how many tabs I have open all the time :P
