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:

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

I said I wasn't going to participate, but limiting myself to 3 everything actually kind of sounds like fun.

For the 3x3 maps, does this include the walls? Or can you have a 3x3 walking space surrounded by walls?

Also, does attack count as a skill? And defend?

I have no idea what I'm gonna do or if I'm gonna do anything.

3+3+3=9

Well... at least 2004 wasn't such a bad year for me.

The question about "Attack" and "Guard" being counted as skills toward the SUPER CHALLENGE is of interest to me. I'm mostly planning around the possibility that they do count at the moment, and rely on items, or other methods (Hi, absorb-damage-as-MP script!) to pick up the slack.

*Edit: What, exactly, counts as "musical tunes"? Does this only count BGM, or would it also count, say, a victory ME, or game over ME?

*Edit2: Sorry, I appear to be in a very Ace-centric mindset!

Back in my day, we used part of the event time limit to plan our games :P
I kind of feel like doing the super challenge, but, it would be mostly a throwaway since I don't need half of that shit for my idea. I could try to work it together though...

so if we have 3 battle characters our final enemy can't talk because that makes it a character ??? the whole idea of "characters" seems pretty vague but w/e

Ooh, I have an idea, and I'm gonna run with it. It should allow the 3 skills, weapons and armours easily.

I expected no less from the Bludgeon of Inspiration :P
This will be fun entering without RPGmaker.

Three characters seems awfully restrictive though. Is it fine to repeat characters though? Like if my three characters are 'a', ''x', and '$', is it fine if one of my messages boxes has "$$ax$a$axx$" in it? Or am I only allowed one message box with "$ax" ?
This is something I can do on my free time! Yes!

Super challenge, eh? Well, then...

Challenge Accepted!

I'm quite confident the word "characters" is intended to mean something different here: It refers to fictional people, as in playable characters or NPCs, not to written symbols. You should be fine.
