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.

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

Wait i'm having second thoughts. With only 3 hours i can't possibly write an engine for anything. I think the only viable engine would be a rpg maker then.

I think depending on what you do GameMaker is a viable option too. And MAAAYBE some framework with maps (Tiled?) or something similar already implemented. It doesn't says it needs battles neither be an RPG. Just for the extras... :A.
Hell, 'battles' is pretty open. It could be jan-ken-po battles. The point is challenge and have fun. X3

@Liberty Can a cat count as a character, even if all it does is say "meow" and look cute?

i highly suggest not worrying too much and just making something fun in the spirit of the event
By the way, Liberty, when you mean three different (monsters/items/skills/weapons/armors) only, can you be a little clearer on that?

Also, I'm just planning out my game right now, but not actually working on it just yet. I'm waiting until this event starts before I even begin making the game, because penalty and shame on me if I do.

How much more clear do you need?

Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then in they database put, but none above such number as 3, nor below. 5 is completely out.

Honestly, if you take it to mean only 3 items in the game completely (that is 2 potions and 1 banana total) then that's fine, but if you take it to mean 3 database items only (potion, banana, fish) then that's fine too. And if you take that to mean you can have 3 bananas, 4 fish and a potion in-game, that's also fine.


I mean, I was meaning database but I'm not going to kill your game for having only 3 total items/etc.
Now that InfectionFiles says RTP... Can I start making graphical assets right now? Or maybe using some I did for something else before but never used because that game never got made? (I've at least two small sets of graphics I never used that I can remember right now xD).

If not then I can always make some monochrome things or something xD. Or not, and just go wild. 8D

I think I'm just gonna go 3+3+3 and ignore the super challenge. The 3 hour limit is restriction enough for me ^_^
