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.

Happy birmfday, Rimmin! (I like you, you little curious community, you!)

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

It could be jan-ken-po battles.

I just noticed that you already mentioned the idea I had for the battle system. Now it no longer feels as interesting, damn.

Eh, I think I can probably still make it interesting.

And yes, happy birthday!

Is this for the event page only or will there be gamepages? (I'm sure the latter is up to us but it's not something we have to do right?)

I'm sure I'm asking obvious questions but just throwing it out there :)

With the last birthday event, we didn't have gamepages, and that was an 8-hour game make. I severely heverely preverly doubt that there woll be gam panges.

This event seems to use the Event Locker, just like last year's birthday event did. So, no need for gamepages with this one! Whither or not there will be a gamepage in the future with all the entries in it would be another story, though.
No game pages, just the event locker.

Kentona, you ruined the twiiiiiiiiiiist. ;p
There's a second part to the event which is pretty much just 'play gams and talk about gams and have fun' on the Monday (since that's actually the date of birthday) but it's less a requirement and more a 'Let's be silly together'.

Any time splits over the weekend is fine. As long as it is total 3 hours.

I'd rather die. :P
Are we allowed to make graphics assits before???! (Hehe...i said ass)
No. >.<;


You can use stuff that is already made, but don't actually make stuff for the event. Same with planning - can't stop you thinking in your head about it and planning that way, but don't actually start writing stuff down about it and all. It's supposed to be spontaneous and very in-the-moment creation. That's part of the challenge and/or fun of it.

I thought about this, I think the only way in rm2k3 is to have a 3x3 playable area on a 20x15 map filled with empty blackness.

EDIT: but we all know you're not gonna make anything, so... :P :P :P
I haven't decided if I'll do this yet. If it happens it'll probably be tomorrow afternoon before the fights start.
