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:

Especially since I only use items to decimate my foes.

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

The same happens with All_of_a_sudden__English.zip.

I used a trial version of bit-zipper to upload Alice. Do you know of any different software i could use so you could extract the files
OMG!!! Guys, I am so ashaaaameed right now!!! I just realized that the hero`s
first position in the game is not CORRECT! NOOOOOOO!!! TOT
The game starts with the last scene instead of the first one... What should I do now? I can´t edit the game anymore, can I?

You can use 7zip, it's free and very good, here: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

You can fix it, upload it somewhere (if it's small then the locker) and then post the link here.

I mean, there are worse games on Steam...
I had trouble with three games (ain't that funny?)

Mirak's - Birthday Party: kept getting an eternal error.
Orochii - Old Gun Dreamland: wanted Japanese RTP? (Please add an RTP version)
Make it Magik's - Last Hope: wrong starting point (oh, fix added, noice)

I'll do a small LP with them when they get updated/fixed. >.<)b
Let me know if you want to upload a fix and I'll reset the game page to allow for it.

Otherwise, I just finished the last of the games on the third stream. Everyone did such a great job! Congratulations all~<3
is it too late to submit a game?
C'mere and lemme bop you!

XD
I'm not hearing a No....
XD

nooooooo... wait, yes. yes it is too late.

Well, you can make a game in three hours and submit it to the site - it might even make it past our rigorous standard checkers!

Yeah, I added the fixed version... I am really really sorry about the HUGE bug on the previous one... the truth is that the 3 hours were up and i didn`t even tested the game... ToT

Anyway, thanks a lot! You played all our games... That`s really nice! I hope you will enjoy mine, if you still mind playing it, of course :)
I'll probably play it and the other two in a quick LP episode after they've been fixed, since the stream ended for tonight. If the other two don't update, I'll do a one-off for it, don't worry~

Man, 43 games! And some have lots of stuff, now here's a bunch of motivated people...

More feebackssss:

Chefs_ReckoningCovenant

- I like the equips names.
- Man, my first battle, enemies took way too long to beat, too much HP I think.
- While not really your fault, the skill "Order" wastes a lot of time when used.
- The accept sound is really high pitch.
- There should be less battles on the first map since they take too long and they're all: attack > Salt > attack or Spice.
- The game seems competent enough, I just feel the battles need something to make them less boring. I would decrease the enemy HP and make them more of a threat (stronger attacks), this way battles would be faster, I'd also decrease the amount of enemies you have to fight on each map.
- LOL left-overs boss battle, creative! :)
- For some reason the boss battle lags for me, it may be the engine.
- Music was well chosen for each situation.
- The only thing I feel would need tweaks is the battle system, I beat the game and didn't need to use even 1 item, I used the same strategy for all battles (it's the one I mentioned above).
- But other than that it's a rather polished event game, no bugs or issues, and had a weird story :P


Dethgrynd's Krazy Castle

- Mapping could be better, but then again "ACE RTP Mapping"...
- I like the weapons/equips/skills names and descriptions.
- I like whay you did with the battles, there's lots of interesting skills to use and you learn new ones all the time, it feels fun.
- I like the names of the characters.
- Where did you get that battle music!?
- I forgot to save all the time since the battles weren't too hard and then I got to the orange-y map (second), went north-west and died a horrible death at the hands of some high level monsters, tired to run several times and couldn't.
- Potions say they heal 300 but they heal 500.
- I only had to use items on the boss and I only used potions, so that may say something about the battle balance, still it's pretty good for a 3 hour game.
- I beat it at level 9.

Crucible of the Arclord

- 400 MB!? Really! Almost half 1 GB. That's too much. Please try to reduce your game size in the future, think of the puppies!
- Wylah is a pretty badass name!
- The game lags a lot for me, not your fault, something to do with the engine and my PC.
- The mapping could be better.
- Sorry, but I can't keep playing, the lag is too big on my PC and makes it unplayable :/


She Had Fun

- That's actually fun writing.
- Love & Lust, huh? :P
- I like how you used remixed music versions of rm2k3 RTP!
- Argh! Characters miss an awful lot and it drags the battles to a crawl. Y u do dis?
- Harold BAM doesn't take much more damage than regular attacks and doesn't make it much worth it to use, plus it misses a lot too.
- Not your fault but I hate I have to pick Attack every turn in battle to choose my characters commands, I ran away from battles by mistake some times thinking I was picking Skills when I was picking Run Away...
- Maybe because of the small map sizes this MV game didn't lag.
- All in all a cute little game with really long battles :P


Everything Goes Swimmingly

- I enjoyed being a fish, even if for a short while.
- You could've added some water effect, it would look cool.
- Liked the music.
- LOLed at the nonsense plot, specially when the third fish appears.
- Mapping was functional, but could use more flair.
- Points for using fish as characters! :)


the big meanie in the tower

- I like the mapping, it looks cute.
- Also like the small Alex charset.
- He's coughing, that means it's fatal!
- Like the sound effects.
- Some text overflow.
- The spell effects are awesome.
- Why does reflect cost 0 MP?
- After the first battle, the battle music kept playing in the background, was that supposed to happen?
- Loved the way the JapaneseRobot fades! I guess all enemies were supposed to fade like that, but only the Robot, Behemoth and Last boss did that, the others didn's so something went wrong with the eventing on those battles.
- The visual aspect is very good in this game :)
- When I use reflect the characters kneel down like they have a bad status.
- Musics are good, but the boss one doesn't loop.
- Battles need balancing. The HugeAssSnake was broken, he used Flare which 1 hit KOed a character, so I used reflect on both characters and he absorbed Flare as 600 HP heal, and my characters couldn't hit for that much so he used flare each turn healing while I couldn't damage him for more than 300 HP.
- I don't get any music for the last boss, I guess there was supposed to be music though.
- Potions say the heal 100 HP but they heal 500 HP.
- MPHeal is a great idea for a spell.
- While battling the vulture, he died and then the battle kept going with an invisible enemy, I guess the invisible is part of your even to make the enemy fade stuff.
- There a gameplay mistake, Alex has the most Black Magic, therefore in his command window Black Magic should come before White Magic. And the same goes for Albert, he has the most White Magic, so White Magic command should come first.
- You forgot to remove the saves :P
- I like how you comment if we beat the game with one character!
- You used the MP used DynPlugins, but what was the other plugin you used?
- I liked this game, specially the visual aspect! It only needed some battle balancing to be a great mini game :D


GAME IN THREES

- Awesome start makes me think outside the box, very nice!
- Man, the text in battle is really depressing.
- I'm not sure, but it seems the text in battle influences what attacks I should use. If so, that's really smart.
- It would be really hard to get all treasure though.
- Can't get that treasure on top of a cliff in the desert, I even tried climbing the green stuff. In fact none of the supposedly climbable green stuff works.
- You can get those treasures if you examine them from below though...
- The only thing the game was missing was a sense of progretion with each battle, after some time I felt I had nothing worth to gain from battles so I just ran away (maybe that was the point?).
- Is there and ending? Is it possible to get everything or change something?
- I deleted the files and tried again but there was no change. I ran from every battle.
- For some reason the game still told me I killed things when I didn't and the gold I collected never appeared, the text box says somthing like "here's how much you got", but never tells me how much I got.
- The sad music makes me think there's something more to this game.
- A really creative way to tackle this challenge, specially like I was the third character.

Stand back. Artist at work. I paint with enthusiasm if not with talent.

Savage Sea Crusade by psy_wombats

This is my favorite of the bunch. Very well written too, despite psy claiming he was drunk. I like photoshopped things with arms in general so i liked it from the start. Staryu and the sea cucumber whose name escapes me at the moment make for an appealing double act, though the 3 character rule was broken sadly.

Event Game by riderx40

I liked the graphics, they were like rtp but different. The side battlers were awesome too. Unfortunately i couldn't finish the game because the battles took waaaay too long to finish since all my attacks kept missing and after the third battle in a row i was exhausted.

Cake Quest by EpicJackman

Kind of a funny game with the serious theme to such a dumb plot. I don't really have much to say.

Birthday Murder Party by Frogge


Wow this one was just bad haha. I get that such was the intention though.

Crucible by Tevak

An attempt at a serious game. I honestly didn't know what half the demotivational text at the end even meant. I didn't know what was going on in general. The battles were fun though, and each character had their own gimmick. The charge attack from Trippytanka or whatsherface is quite OP though, i mowed down everything in one hit with that skill. Also i could heal fully almost everytime just by whaling on the enemies.

Also i don't know if MV runs like this for everyone but this is the very first MV game i play and holy balls does the game play like absolute crap. Frames per second were at around 12 i think, everything felt choppy and laggy like holy shit.

Uno Dois Drei by iddalai

Truly a curious game. Very abstract. Very confusing in an annoying way because you need to figure out what was renamed to what. But if you play rpg2k3 games often you won't have trouble with this.

This is another game i couldn't finish. I was getting killed too easily. Maybe i just didn't figure out what i had to do.

Lunge, Reposte, Fleche! by ethanz

I take back what i said about MV a bit. This one doesn't run as bad, but does run bad nonetheless. Sometimes the game won't detect that i'm pressing Z.

This is a nice pirate themed little game.

Loved what ethanz did with the 3x3 tile maps. I won most of the fights by spamming Fleche, since it cost no mp or TP and always hit a lot better than Lunge. On the second map you can fish unlimited coats out of the water and i found this funny, like if the ship you boarded was probably transporting lots of clothing or something.
