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!

CloseScript calls in conditional branches are allowed as long as they're not used to change the default engine and subvert things. If it's to just call something like a common event or check a character direction, that's fine. If it actually changes things like increasing item amounts or calling script files into the game then it is unallowed.

http://gyazo.com/b43c7bd3a2e820664ad5914c83aee45c this is totally fine, it's what the field is meant for
however, the rules state

you use the conditional branch script field to call common events on pretty much every map and in every single random battle. the command is disabled, meaning you cannot get them in battles (although you can get them on maps utilizing switches)... so yeah.
EDIT: oh i guess i read "beyond their intended purposes" wrong (everybody knows conditional branches are intended to call common events)

we have so many more chests way less confusing pathways.
Honestly no :/
your pathways were many things except intuitive imo, and couple that with an extremely annoying encounter rate, I pretty much closed the game during my first play through to try other things, it just wasn't fun, and even if you say 60 and it is 60, it sure as hell didn't feel like 60 :P
Yeah but Common Events call stuff and then returns a value, we didn't change anything (like injections etc.). We just made used of its function of calling things <_<;
You actually can use it by using a switch, so common events are usable. The way their called isn't a big deal since you can still have them.
Also keep in mind that as a judge game it won't be eligible for prizes, so...

I dunno why they didn't just paste the events into battles manually.
that said, it's a judge's game and judges do what they want

That said, if we'd known we got to do script injection we'd have done so many things differently. Like setting people's TP with conditional branches at the start of battle.

i explicitly said in my post they they used them in an impossible way (in battles) ;V
meh everybody probs thinks i'm a massive dick now, but, like, feels bad man. why make a game in lite if you're just going to subvert the rules like that? =|

Force action a skill that calls a common event.
Not entirely impossible just sayin'
Well, it was there in the rules, and to be fair, Nessy and Rhyme did ask about it before they began and got the okay.
That said, why not just use the events to do that? Start of battle, create a state that inflicts TP regen to a certain amount, have it last one turn. :/

Yeah, but that gives the battle log a message, and -has- to include the user's name!
I'll admit I'm totally butthurt that you guys did it in a way I thought was disallowed. But that's my fault for not asking
nessy I'll see you next contest
and next time, watch out! because

In the case that a judge game does nab the most votes from the community, the next most will get the prize instead. In other words, while the judges would be proud and joyful at being thought of as best (as would anyone), essentially you'd be wasting your vote.
To those of you who used Ace to make your games instead of Lite - I hope you included all the RTP files you need because Lite does not link to them. Certain games are missing ALL THE RTP FILES THEY USE! Hence, they cannot be played.
Alchemy, I'm looking at you.
Alchemy, I'm looking at you.
To be honest, I think it's kinda weird that people were using VX Ace full trying to obey to Lite's restrictions. It's very very easy to miss something.
Also, I read the rules saying "The only requirement beyond using RPG Maker VX Ace Lite is that the game must be complete.", so in my understanding it states you must use VX Ace Lite.
