Description

Hello one and all and welcome to RMN's 9th (official ;p ) birthday! Woo!





Our beloved site is now (over) 9 years old - that's practically ancient in internet years! So let's get together and celebrate in the best way we know how!

Making games! :DDD


A bit over a week or so ago a topic was put up with a bunch of event ideas for the community to pick from. There were a few long-runners who seemed likely to win, a really good idea that Liberty will be stealing appropriating for a future event and a dark horse coming up from behind to steal the win.

There was drama, conflict, confusion - just a normal day on the site, really, but we eventually got there and this is it. Your chosen event.




The event in question is quite simple.

3 hours.

3 maps.

3 characters.


You start over the coming weekend, make your game and at the end, share what you have made with the community! It's easy as 1, 2, 3!




The rules are as follows:
- Event starts at midnight GMT on Friday (please adjust your site time to your timezone so that the event page will tell you the start/end times properly).
- You have 3 hours over the course of the weekend to completely make the game. That means 3 hours of development, folks, not a 3 hour long game!
- You must only have 3 whole characters in the game. This includes Player Characters or NPCs. 3 total. For example: you can have a Warrior, Princess and King; or Warrior, Black Mage, White Mage. That part is up to you.
- You may only have 3 maps total.
- All games must be added to the event page by the end of the event (Sunday Midnight GMT)
- Play games over Monday (which is actually the birthday date oops but let's celebrate then by sharing each others' games! :DDD )

!!!SUPER CHALLENGE!!!
If you feel like 333 is too easy, how about completing this Super Challenge? You will get a special badge~!
- 3 different monsters only
- 3 different skills only
- 3 different items only
- 3 different weapons only
- 3 different armours only
- 3 of these major challenges: 3 Message Boxes, 3 Pictures, 3 Scripts, 3 Sound Effects, 3 Window Skins, 3 Musical Tunes, 3 Word Title, 3 Battles, 3x3 Map Size (if not RM, 99x99 pixels works too)

(Note that for this challenge to have been met you must have 3 of these things - it won't count if you only have, say, 2 monsters in the game or only 1 item. There MUST be 3.)





There are two achievements up for grabs!

P-P-PARTY ANIMAL for participating and getting into the spirit of the birthday.
SUPER PARTY ANIMAL for completing the Super Challenge.








Here's the Stream of all the games:

Welp, time to play some games.

EDIT: Woah, 100+MB downloads, what happened to short, small birthday games LOL

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

iddalai, join Libby's stream. Then you can request her to play your game.

Thanks for the heads up!

My PC is having issues with flash recently, so I can't watch the stream :/

I'll only be able to see it once it's uploaded to youtube.

Oh, and Happy Birthday! :)

Game In Threes v2

- Halved encounter rate. Gameplay should be much less stressful now.
- Fixed a formatting bug.

I uploaded it to my own locker, because you can't edit event files.

I can't extract the files from Alice to play it.

The same happens with All_of_a_sudden__English.zip.

EDIT: some feeback:

RLP: PD

- slow walking speed killed me a bit.
- liked the music, but I feel it doesn't fit.
- The refrigerator line was awesome!
- I could walk over the plant in Peru's room and other plants.
- I could also walk over the cabinet next to the typewriter and walk over most objects in the research lab.
- Enjoyed the dog video at the end :)
- You actually made different endings for every answer? Wow!
- There's a sequel to Paul Blart Mall Cop, ouch...


A Temple Near the Sun

- Loved the music in the first map! It screams of mystic temple music.
- Is Felicia suposed to be facing right all the time? Or was that for dramatic effect?
- I can walk over the big rocks.
- Good use of RTP sounds for enemy death.
- You could've made a better dying effect for enemies outside of battle, like a flash or something.
- I would have liked the battles to be more than attack-attack-attack, but I understand the limitations.
- When you equip a new sword after battling the Guardian, you should've removed the old sword from the inventory.
- I tried all 3 choices but couldn't beat the boss in the last choice. She striked me for 34HP when I had 25HP and had already used my Willpower.
- I then watched the third ending inside the editor.
- I really liked the individual storylines, all of them had a bittersweet ending though, the music helped in this :P
- Nice little game! I liked it :)


Advance Wars - I'm a What Now?

- No music?
- I can examine the mirror from the side.
- I can't walk over the cracks in the ground, that prevents me from going right on the first map, is that supposed to happen?
- I probably would get more out of this game if I had played any Advance Wars...
- With no music it gets pretty boring just reading text :/
- I'm not much of a fan of fanfic.
- I got to an ending twist where I was the mole, that was fun, but was it the end of the game or just a game over?
- I then tried to change things a bit but when I got one of them killed it was game over, so...
- I then gave them the wrong ID and won.


Alice - Can't extract the files to play it.

All of a sudden - Can't extract the files to play it.

Birthday Murder Party

- There's a save file with the game.
- Oh gosh the text is like memes and stuff, I get Pom flashes but with no ulterior message.
- The image doesn't cover the whole screen.
- There's no music except for title and ending?
- I'm really not this game's target audience :P
- Random weird game!


Blue Love

- I can't change the option in the menu since I can't see them.
- I also can't see the full title screen or all of the map since the window is so small, which I guess was the point but maybe could be a little bit bigger, as it is now I can't see the whole 3x3 maps with north walls and the emoticons during the last "battle".
- All in all I found this game very imaginative, I thought it was fun to navigate a dungeon is such a small area, but I would've liked it there was something else when it comes to gameplay.
- Unique game!


Cake Quest

- Does the old man have to walk so slow at the start of the game? It really slows the intro down.
- I liked the music selection.
- The mapping could use some work, it all looks very square, big and empty.
- I like the custom enemies, they look cute.
- I get to a stash of gold but can't take any!?
- Battles are easy, but that's not a bad thing for a game this small and this event.
- Ice Breath takes too much TP to be useable in the game since battles are too quick to get 30 TP.
- I liked the last dialog where the old man goes "Huh?"
- I want my cake!
I just watched my game on the stream, that was hilarious. I should have made it more clear that Willpower is an infinite item and I should have let a save before the three decisions, haha.

THe game is made bad on purpose. The picture wasn't supposed to fit across the screen anyway. Though, there should be three tracks. The Saw theme should have ben playing at the furnace part :P

It was infinite!? Damn, I could've beat the bosses... :P
I had fun with your game ^_^

If it was supposed to be that way, then you nailed it dewd!
There was music during the Saw video, but no music before or after, was it RTP?

yeah most of the game was silent. There was only title screen, sad music after sarcficiece and saw music at furanceaea
Welp looks like I'm gonna be busy and won't get to everything. So!

@Liberty This was fun and I'm surprised nobody else went for mapping like this. Although inserting pizza put you past the character count!!

@orochii: I was very sad this only lasted for thirty seconds, it's a fun style (although apparently time consuming)

@Versalia: This was really enjoyable, even if my poor eyesight meant I had to boot the editor to find the RANK FART.

@Penta: I pepper-sprayed a slime. I don't feel guilty at all.

@Kloe: Welp, I held space down too fast and a fire scorpy killed Harold. Sorry.

@Tungerman: Shamefully I scored 4/9. I never knew there was a contacts page.

@Red_Nova: Neat concept, I replayed again so I could sacrifice my companions (heh)

@unity: Monsters killed me and made me very sad. The music was uh... suspicious.

@Sooz: Think I said it before but I sniffed every event in the game. Are those from like @somethingawful.txt or something?

@Frogge: Congrat! You mak gam. *scream sfx*

@Tevak: I'm curious what the slowdown problem was, ever figure that one out?

@EpicJackman: The "bad dragon" gave me a laugh. Despite the cuteness I almost died to a spaloop though.

@Mirak: The protagonist was very relatable. (Nice bgm choices though)

@Liberty Thanks for playing through my game on your stream - I finally got a chance to watch it.

You did great! I basically gave the game a few little endings and small differences - but yes, Synth was the mole. I was super happy you checked the shirt and saw the ID.

Long story short, 'Synth' was hired to leak Orange Star info, so he got hired in the cafeteria to access the building, hack high-level access, and eventually leak data and sneak a few others in.

When Nell and Sami jacked a nearby civilian, they had the wrongest intuition ever.
Sooz
They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

They're just stuff I had in my quotes file for possible customtext/my own general amusement. I like quoting funny stuff devoid of context.
Hi guys! I just finished watching the part2 of the stream on YouTube... I have to say that it was really well done! Thanks Liberty for playing our games, and i am really happy that you enjoyed mine!

Can't wait till someone reviews mine yessss
@Iddalai: I was going to just take the Option and Continue menus out since they weren't needed but ran out of time. There's really no need to use them (I mean, bar sound changing, but I tend to turn down music to at least 70% in-game anyway). And yeah, I was still experimenting with size when time ran out. ;.; I am glad you enjoyed it anyway~

@psy: X3



Just a general reminder that these games very likely aren't good site-upload material. They'll be locked to this page anyway, so unless you intend to expand on them it might be best not to make game pages for them - most wouldn't make it onto the site anyway, due to just how not-rule-meeting they are. And that's okay, methinks.

So, if it's just the download from this event people are trying to add to gamepages I'll be denying them. If, however, you are expanding on the games, then put up a game page when you have expanded them. Thanks!

Nice graphics, pal. And how everything fits together. I don't know whether these graphics were made for the event or no. It doesn't matter. They give the game so needed differentiation from the RTP rest. And to the story. There are some nice touches. Such as them leveling to 18th level after the defeat of the Skylord. And dramatically correct falling in love during the first battle. It's very readable too. Ant the final stroke is mean, thats cool.
I really liked it. Even the difficulty was right up my alley (and their talks about it being near to death experience)
There is nothing negative I can say about the game. Maps seem to be made in a hurry, yet they fit the game.
I give 7/10 as I want more of the same.

(And this elongated response is probly the last one of mine)

Edit: @Libby, have you already streamed mine? Can you play the locker version? It has adjusted volume levels, so you actually get to hear something, when you take an item.
Not yet. If it's the one you posted yesterday, I nabbed it when you put it up. >.<)b
