Description

What're We Cooking?


A full game cooked up in two weeks (and a weekend)! The cookoff begins on February 1st and wraps up on February 17th where all games must be submitted before the end of the day. Check the event page (and your account's timezone) to see when the event ends in your local time.

The Kitchen Suite

The tool of choice is RPG Maker VX Ace Lite! It is the free but feature limited version of RPG Maker VX Ace. The restrictions of Ace Lite are as follows:

Maximum Database Entries
  • 10 Actors
  • 10 Classes
  • 126 Skills
  • 16 Items
  • 60 Weapons
  • 60 Armors
  • 30 Enemies
  • 30 Troops
  • 25 States
  • 110 Animations
  • 4 Tilesets
  • 10 Common events
  • 100 Switches
  • 100 Variables
  • There are no other database restrictions


Map & Event Limitations
  • 20 Maps
  • 10 Events per map
  • Call Common Event is disabled


Script Limitations
  • The script editor is disabled.
  • The 'Script' event command is disabled. Other script commands in Assign Variable, Condition Branch, and Move Event are still enabled.


These are strictly implementation restrictions that you are free to work around. Need more than sixteen items? Make your key items weapons nobody can equip! Want more than ten playable characters? Perhaps when one leaves the party you could overwrite its name and stats with your new character! Twenty five troops too limiting? Make a troop that adds random enemies via battle events!

Please note: While it is possible to add your own scripts to a game through devious means the spirit of the Ace Lite restriction rules in this contest. Injecting scripts is not allowed beyond using the enabled script calls for their intended purposes. Of course changing the database caps through other means is also right out. Any game found violating these restrictions will be disqualified.

You can download RPG Maker VX Ace Lite here.

If you want to see what you can do under such restrictions Deckiller has made a game in Ace Lite called Kolmesarta. Feel free to check it out!

Your Ingredients!

Everything in the kitchen is allowed! There is no theme to the cook off besides obeying the restrictions of Ace Lite. There are no resource limitations for this contest as Ace Lite does not restrict what you can import into your game. Whip out the spice rack! Prepare the vegetables! Go hog wild! It's a free for all!

Nobody wants a half baked morsel though. The only requirement beyond using RPG Maker VX Ace Lite is that the game must be complete. Only finished games are wanted here!

For the Tastiest of Them All

We've got four judges reuniting to sample the delicacies of all participants: The RTP Princess Liberty, The Amazing Artist Nessiah, the Makerscore Master Deckiller, and the Ludicrously Lazy GreatRedSpirit! Their number one game will received a boxed copy of RPG Maker VX Ace generously donated by Liberty! The lead developer of the winning game will be contacted by Liberty to make shipping arrangements.

That isn't the only prize though! After submissions are closed there will also be a two week voting phase for all members of RMN to vote for their favorite game! Voting will be open from February 18th to March 11th. The winner will receive their choice of any item excluding RPG Maker VX Ace from the RPGMakerWeb.com store courtesy of RPGMakerWeb!

There is always the achievement badge for participating too! One of a kind will not be made available again! Submit to that completionist tingle and take part!

Sorry Libby, my mom took my microphone away ._.)
I'd be behind the judging a bit.

Uh, the font you're getting for DD is not the default Ace font. DD is going to look very silly without Unicode and proper spacing. =|

Did the font change for another game and it's somehow carrying over to this LJ? I'm a little confused.



^This is what it's intended to look like, with the default font.
Figures that would be the issue. Don't worry, I reinstalled the correct font so it should work fine for the rest of the LP. ^.^;

Heh, good.

...also looks like Chaos changed some of Etsuo's skill names so "Critical Charge" is now "Honed Edge." Le sigh. COMMUNICATION

(Also if you really hate spiders, have Camelia nuke 'em.)

Congratulations Indrah and Fomar! Given the amount of votes on other games I'm pretty satisfied with 3 myself.

Now we just have to wait for official results.

Expect those around Misao time.
Wow... very surprising voting results! I was kinda expecting dragon's descendant to have an easy win.

Heh, we don't have enough pretty visuals for that.
Heh. One vote.

Well, considering what I was up against, I'll take it. XD At least I got one.
That's the spirit, Aegix!

Congradulations, Indrah and Formar!

(And thanks to whoever voted for my game)

Now we have to review all these....
Holy....Why did I not play Reaper earlier?!

I've only played a few minutes, but HOLY COW. I don't want to put it down!

EDIT: Aaaaaand it's done. :( But still, it was amazing while it lasted. XD
Congratulations Indrah and Fomar!
