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.

That moment when NeSi took the joke literally...

Also I'm gonna try to not think so hard about it, so it's more crazy on the weekend!

Got any Dexreth amulets?

Did... Did I do anything wrong? You can't demand that of me, Craze. Let's be real here.

I legitimately got the impression that that was a genuine misunderstanding. I even thought it was interesting that it shows how different perception and understanding can be depending on where your talents and priorities lie. Welp, joke's on me, I guess.

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

Joke?

The only joke here is that I'm signing up!

Is it assumed that the engine we are using is RPG Maker, or can it be anything?
This event sounds super fun. I have a question though:

Let's say I want to make original music for this. Would that have to fall under the 3 hour development time or could it be separate?

Insane. You're all insane.


A purple little man I see
A tiny little thing is he
He has little purple pointed shoes
Never speaks, he blows the kazoo
He got up and in my head
Now that purple man is dead
iddalai
RPG Maker 2k/2k3 for life, baby!!

Bets are open.

More than 20 games? Or less?
Maker doesn't matter: just the rules.


I'll allow Defend to not count as a skill. Attack still does, though.

3x3 map includes walls... but why not just have the blackness of despair instead? :DDD

Musical tunes are just BGM.

Characters are basically anything with a personality or lines. So you could have two party members and a last boss who is a character, or three party members and a mindless monster as a boss... or one party member, one villain and one NPC.


Super challenge is all the stuff listed and three of the additional things.
Um, Libby? Didn't you mean "BGM"? Just saying because you accidentally misspelled it as "BMG".

It happens to the all of us, myself included. :/
I feel like the Super Challenge is a boon in that it'd stop me from spending too much time on frivolous stuff and blowing quick and crappy for its sake. I know it's supposed to be quick and crappy but I always have trouble internalizing that. I'm only good with quick and crappy when I try not to be!

The clarifications are all really good information! For example, I figured "characters" referred to party members!

Please don't ask me why he did it
I'm fairly sure it was deliberate
Now I don't know what to do
All that's left is his kazoo
Well...here goes! I guess I can at least tri, right?

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

Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbeth thou thine Holy Hand Grenade towards thy foe, who, being naught in My sight, shall snuff it.

*Edit: Apparently, that popped into my head with luiishu's pun, paino's poem, and, hell, the event itself!

*Edit2: I see the Rule of Three is in good order with that thought-process, too.
