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 did an extra major challenge for the super challenge. I hope that's fine. My game should be up in a few minutes.

You're magical to me.

Uploaded my game, Dethgrynd's Krazy Castle! The mapping is very crappy and the challenge is unbalanced, but I hope you enjoy it! :D

Also I hope you all enjoy Sooz's game, Lobster Quest. I got to watch her make it :DDDDDD

I didn't do the super challenge because I am not hardcore enough because it was too limiting for me :P

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

Yaaaaay we're next to each other!
Welp, I've submitted my unbalanced mess of a game...At least the first map looks great (can't say the same for the other two). And those last two hours of development were hellish indeed.

I have no idea why what happened happened but i fixed the download.

This time i just used the default game installer. Hopefully it'll work now.
Just submitted, although not without the sinking feeling that I may have (again) failed to notice some major feature of the challenge.

Lunge, Reposte, Fleche is a 3 move pirate/fencing game with 3x3 maps (holy smokes does that focus in the action!) - the only drawback is that the "ingenious" (FAIL) rock-paper-scissor battle system I thought up basically doesn't work (didn't have time to test the game at all) - the counter attack is set to the Yanfly Counter Control default, as opposed to the RMMV default, so Fleche (the super aggressive move) basically wins all fights - AND the enemy AI seems bugged so the bad guys don't do anything in the first round of combat - at least it makes the game quick! :)

3 hours - check (yikes!)
3 characters - Socky, Quatro, the Queen
3 maps - south pacific, deck of the Sark, crosstrea of the Sark

Super Challenges:
3 Monsters - Aggressive Marine, Defensive Marine, Engima Quatro
Skill - Lunge, Reposte, Fleche
Item - Miracle Cure, Rope-Line, Emerald Royal
Weapon - Epee, Foil, Sabre
Armor - Black Hat, Black Socks, Pilot's Coat
3 word title - Lunge, Reposte, Fleche
3x3 maps - check (BEST IDEA EVER by the way!)
3 Battles (duels) - 1 for each monster

...I just noticed the event ends TOMORROW, not today.
I made the challenge today, which was a bad day for it, because i thought it ended today.

Oooooh well.
It depends on your timezones, guys. Again, set your timezone in your Account>Settings and then check the time. It's basically Sunday Midnight GMT.

Yep. Me too.

I guess there's no inclusion of other RMNers required this time? That was my favorite part of last year. Aw...

Well, I think I've got an idea I can crank out in 3 hours. Hm...
I mean, we're barely over half-way through the event time, so... ;p

Yeah I basically only did it on a whim because uni was.

3 hours is not a huge commitment.

It is when you have an awful tendency to overthink things.
Uploaded fix: had one sound effect I needed to change to keep it within my limit of three.

This is a fun event. Really enjoying what everyone has put together.

@orochii: I really, really want more of your game.

But HOW silly should I be? What should I do? Should I go for something totally dumb? Half dumb? What if I don't like what I make? What if others don't like what I make? What if I try for something cool then fall flat on my face? What if I-

WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THIS WHEN THERE'S GAM TO BE MAD?

@orochii: I really, really want more of your game.

Really?-- I mean, sure! :^D Play it several times. Maybe if I can do something that feels in the same simple vibe for the story.

I'm unsatisfied with one thing about my game. That is, I wanted my music to be crappier. But had to use high-quality Incompetech because of the time restraint (that's 90% of the download people! And I tried converting it to low as duck bitrates!). 10 more minutes and I would attempted something with FamiTracker.

But oh well, that's what happens when you lose like half an hour looking for an audio module for Game Maker because you hate the vanilla one, then realize you feel more like doing something in good old RMXP.

AND around that Game Maker thing, I was around 5 minutes making some better animated graphics, then PC crashes because why not. I wanted to kill someone.

Man just make a thing and probably SOMEONE will like it, and if nobody does, who cares, it was 3 hours of your life and you were probably gonna spend that much this week on watching TV or peeing or something.

ETA:

Are we allowed to update with bug fixes?
