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:

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


For me, it will highly depend on what all I can come up with in regards to the various challenges. I reserve the right to end up with this mind-set, though.

If you don't talk about it, nobody will have expectations on your performance.
I will try to make a game about a darklord daily life it will be really kewl...

why would i heal when i could equip a morningstar

attack counting as a skill puts a damper on my idea even more than all the other restrictions x_x

i could replace one of my 3 allowed scripts to be "replace the basic attack command" but ehhhh. either i'll drop the super challenge or just make one of the party members not have any abilities (laaaame)

edit: actually i have a really dumb idea PROBLEM SOLVED (in the most slithery and obnoxious of ways)

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 know how I'm going to solve that problem. All I can say is, the number 3 is key to it.

Actually, every odd number would work, but 3 is easiest and most elegant.
Three hours pretty much demands you use pre-existing code and assets.
I dunno. I think you could do a decent MS Paint job game with only three maps to bother with.

I'd love to see someone do one in an MS paint style!

We can start now? And have three hours of dev time? I'll have to start after work!

Infection, both the event start-time and end-times are at the top of the page. They should auto-adjust to whatever time-settings you have with your account. Once the event starts, there's... a bit of wiggle room with which you can make your game. Just be sure it's made in a three-hour window!

I think it doesn't need to be one three-hour session. If you work on it for an hour, take a break, work another hour on it, take another break, then finish it in the last hour, that should be fine too, right?

Yep, it specifically states over the course of the weekend. Any divide is fine.
(correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that's the way it's meant to be. Anything else would be silly.)

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

No, only a division of three!
Three is the ultimate number!

You can do it over the weekend, but you can only work on it 3 minutes at a time and then break for another 3 minutes.

I suppose that works, in theory. In practice, though? I'm not sure. I might turn out to be the kind of crazy that will try and do it in one go and collapse for a spell (or three, obviously) afterwards.

I think I'll definitely take a break or two.

Although I can already see myself trying to do eventing in my head while taking a break, so I don't know how fair it would be not to count those breaks.

That's true. But if I go for the Super Challenge, I want to do it fairly.

Super Challenge?

Challenge Accepted!

I can't wait for this event to start. It's going to be so much fun! :D Happy 9th birthday RMN! Also if you're wondering I'm not going to quit this event... Hopefully...
