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:

Updated my game because I was noticing that the final boss fight wasn't working the way I wanted it to. I've literally got no time left, and WHERE THE HECK DID THE "_wik7474" IN THE FILENAME COME FROM!?

Whatever.
Alright, so now it should be fixed and done. It's pretty short. Enjoy!


I think the random jibberish is from uploading the same filenamed thing twice. Probably something left over from the server crash.

iddalai:Interesting... I'm perplexed by the message this game could potentially signify but it comes off as very creative.

The second map doesn't seem to have a boss or any way to progress.


Thanks!
In the second map there's 3 treasures, once you get those, a new one appears in the empty area.

I didn't think it would be a problem :P
3 hours gams and testing, you know...

Frogge:my kind of game. Intentionally poor quality all over the place, i.e. the pictures, the music, the writing, etc., very refreshing and fun. Reminds me of some of my old stuff.


I never though I would say this, but thanks Tungerman, that was kind XD
Thanks Ratty I took your advice from last time ;)..the battles aren't hard but you they will be if you only play with one member and you can also unlock the true final boss...which is unbeatble btw.
Red Nova; Really like the idea of sacrificing your teammates to help the main character. Noticed there were two different endings too. Short, but it works

aquaricorn; Good cutscene at the beginning, got stuck on the colusseum battle because of an error- i think it was 'failed to load img/animations/howl'

Punkkit; AHHH I LOVE IT. The game doesn't take itself seriously which is very refreshing. Loved the characters and the humor, literally laughed out loud while playing it.

So far I played this bunch. Also wanted to try the second 2k entry and it seems there is no game to download.

Psy
Staryu looks funny. There is a text to read. Loads of it, mostly entertaining. Then I nuked myself. Good run overall. It works which is fine too. Should try to reach better endings.

Ratty
Cool fight, oldtimer. Pretty basic good ol bossfight. Selection of actor's class gives it a nice twist.

Kloe
Pretty good and complex. I like the guilty cute theme too. Are these default MV battlers or customs? Kloe is so much stronger than Harold. Music is kinda annoying. Good use of pictures. I had fun playing it.

Piano
Spikes are evidently broken. I kept dying on them randomly. Ragequited about 500 deaths later.
Noticed one possible bug too. You don't need to take the sword to leave the room.

Versalia
No, I got a terrible end! I dig the writing, idea and characters. There is so many things with a description and so many options. There has to be x possible endings. I liked it.

Frogge
This one was hard to finish. And I managed to loose. Tungerman's comment is on a right note. This is oldschool RM junkie.

Mirak
It's broken!

Sooz
This one is cool. I couldn't find the crown and search through all these important and awesome things a then suddenly it was lurking around right in front of the lobster king. I barked, I jumped, got it between my teeths, got it to the king and became the bestest hero (piece of art it is).

Gredge

This one was too hard for me to finish. After two tries I gave up. It looks solid tho. No unnecessary sounds, straight writing and ol good rtp.

Red Nova
This is a very nice idea (which goes so well along your bigger games). You can't really save your friend, but you can't do without them either. Game is compact, everything is working. I like how maps are all crossroads, symbolizing difficult decisions everyone has to undertake. On my second run, first being utterly catastrophic, I managed to keep both friends. It felt warm. Well done, Nova.

Marrend
I guess, that the first encounter is too easy and other two are way more difficult as the second bandit can take about a dozen of my specials. Otherwise pretty simple and straightforward. Some decisions seem to be caused by events limitations and feel unnatural, but whatever.

Unity
You work fast. This is big for the time frame and three maps allowed. It is more like ten or twelve dungeon rooms compressed in these. It took me about an hour to finish the game.
Teamwork is always better and it definitely is the truth here. I like enemy designs, Debuffer being my favorite.
Demon Princess is tuff, couldn't beat her altho I tried to employ cooperation.

versalia's game, being the only one i've played so far, is the best one i've played so far. i hope FOX uses it as evidence of video games causing violence

ethanz:
...I like the ideas presented with the battle system. Fledge seems to be a lot more useful than anything, though.


Thanks Ratty - I snoozed and didn't see the 'fixes are okay' post, so just re-submitted a version 1b that fixes this; just needed to add the <Evade Counter> notetag to the Reposte command. Fleche is still an awesome attack (especially against the first opponent) but if you overuse it now, you are beaten by Reposte. (also fixed the stupid looking positioning of the monsters which I totally just forgot to address in the first rush).

Woah, we're having quite the turnout!
There we go, my game should have all the necessary files now!

Aside from stale memes, I got a nice chuckle out of everything.


I regret nothing! XD Thanks a ton, Ratty! :D Glad you liked it! ^______^

unity:wow, this one's an actual, legit RPG dungeon crawler. I'm not big on RPGs, but this one was fairly enjoyable (although occasional stun block was annoying), and I couldn't resist getting all the treasure chests, so it took quite a while to finish. The writing/story was adorable, loved the twist. Also, great choice of music.


Thanks very much! :DDDD Yeah, I made up the enemies on the fly in a mad rush and just gave them a mismash of skills, failing to note that I gave too many the sleep stab and confusion ones >.<;;; So stun lock happened.

But glad it's still enjoyable!

Thanks, Cap_H! :D Yeah, I worked really fast on this one, and I'm honestly surprised that it's as playable as it is. Sorry you had trouble with the last boss. A lot of it comes down to which skills she uses on her turn, unfortunately ;_;

Yeah, I didn't have time to properly balance everything out. It took all my time to figure out how the game was going to play and trimming down the skill count to hit the super challenge. I like your interpretation of the maps, though!

I'm very surprised that any game made in three hours can be described as anything other than short, to be honest. I'm glad to hear you like it, though! And yeah, I can't seem to shy away from more than one ending, huh?

I know my game's pretty wacked up with it's battles, since both skills that the Blue Hood has consume all her MP. There is a way to recharge her MP, and it involves the Guard command! I wasn't sure what the best way to convey that was, so, my apologies for that.
Going to start working on my game in about 90 minutes (HYPE!). I played Lobster Quest and I must admit that I loved it! It's definitely a piece of art.
Sooz
They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

Aww, thanks for the nice words, errybody! I'm glad everyone likes my goofy little game that's mostly about looking at things and onl partly about actually being a game! XD
Yes! After almost an eternity, my entry is up!

Not the kind of quality I would usually strive for, but at least my entry is something, although short it may be.

Anyways, I did the Super Challenge and completed it!

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

another person that says my game is broken.

i honestly dont know what to say
i used the installer the software makes for you
i even bundled the rtp

if it keeps not working i sincerely dont know what else it could be, i don't know what else i could do

seriously what the fuck is going on? i tested the god damn installer in 3 machines different from my own and the game works in all three, but literally everyone here is saying it doesn't work, is there some kind of elaborate meme prank i'm not aware about???

this kind of shit didn't happen with tsukuru.
