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!

Thanks to whoever voted for Depression either... 2 is a lot to me, considering two of 30 people though Depression is the best among all those games. :O

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.

Still, congratulations to those who got votes. =) Surprisingly large turnout, compared to previous events; definitely a good sign.
I'm also surprised Dragon's Descendant didn't get as much support.

I still haven't played Grumpy Knight. It was a toss-up between Depression, Reaper and SubStar, but then I ran out of time and never voted, so...you guys can each pretend you got an extra vote. :3
Congrats to Grumpy Knight :p
And thanks to who voted for my game it means a lot :)

I'm not surprised since Grumpy Knight is the most polished.
Heh; We always say that gameplay is above evrything else but when it comes down to it, cute graphics triumphs all! xD

Congrats to Grumpy Knight's devs! ...And I guess the other winner will be announced on a podcast? Those are fun. =P
Congratulations Grumpy Knight!
That game was fun! :)

Thanks to those who voted for Reaper! <3
And thanks for liking it Aegix! ^^

It was cute! It was filled with original ideas! It made me have the feels!

If you made a more expanded version of it, I would play it again. ^_^
Oh, wow, I completely forgot about this event...

Um, I liked your game, Arandomgamemaker! It was quite fun.
Why a cat would team up with a dog I don't know...

Personally? I also have no idea.
I figured it was a Musicians of Bremen type thing. I was expecting a horse instead of a cow but yeah, I thought you were aiming for a story like that.

Musicians of Bremen? Never heard of it. I just wanted a party of animals ^.^

If I remade it, though, I would probably focus a bit more on character development.
@ Arandomgamemaker: Musicians of Bremen is a Grimm's fairy tale. Read about it here.
You know Irili, every time I see that Avatar I get a blast of nostalgia.

I freaking LOVED Crystal chronicles. In almost all of its iterations.

My brother and I loved it too. I've still got the game, just not anything I can play it on! :( I loved all of the games but the original was just absolutely magical.
'Tis truly magical indeed. Someone should make a fangame of it. Or not...

Also, Aegix, your game's hard!

Magical indeed. ^^ I have it, and a GBA to play multi with. I even went out an bought a second one JUST to play it with people.

Sad thing is I no longer have anyone to play it with... :( My little bro no longer really wants to play, and he wasn't that great anyway...And my GF (who is great at the game due to sheer melee aggression) was never really that into it, so we stopped playing. :(

I'm serious about my GF being good, though. That goblin mage boss that I hated? We were fighting it and as I'm barely hanging on, dodging spells and enemies, I glance over to see how she's doing and....0_0 The boss was at half health, all the enemies on her side were dead and she had almost full health. I was VERY impressed.

Yup. That it is. I warned you at the start, after all!

Play smart! :D

And then your victories will feel all the sweeter.

Oh, and make sure you apply the patch. Otherwise the final boss is gonna be insane and maybe not even beatable, depending on your level. >_>
The place has become silent again lol =P
was wondering if there will be more LJ anytime soon? ^^
