Description

RPG Maker VX Ace is OUT and we want to see what RMN can do with this new tool! The Nugget Crash Course is a competition for new Ace users to make a game to try and win a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace, courtesy of our friends at Degica (the company that markets and distributes RPG Maker outside of Japan)!

RPG Maker VX Ace is aptly named as it is RPG Maker VX {Insert Incremental Reference Here}. Imagine your regular VX with various changes and upgrades all over the place to make it a better tool all-round. The best way to see what the changes are is to download the Ace trial and give it a spin! You might even get your own copy out of it!

This is a fast and loose competition with a new tool and so will the theme. Simply make a game with RPG Maker VX Ace! It must be a new Ace game started with the English version so no carry overs from the Japanese release / trial. You can use any resources for Ace such as graphics, music, and scripts but I don't want to see any Ace-rized versions of your VX game.

Ace can handle any graphic, sound, or music VX can and more so all resources for VX are available. Ace also has a new feature of being able to create character and face graphics through putting premade templates together directly in the program. One critical difference between VX and Ace is the script backend got rewritten Ace which means a large majority of scripts for VX won't work for Ace. You can check the script repository on RMN for several scripts made to work with Ace.

Having trouble with Ace? There's a few places where you can try to get some help. Posting on the event itself is allowed but it's easy to lose track of such questions. You can post questions in RMN's Help & Request forum as long as you read the forum rules. You can also head onto RMN's IRC channel to try and get some real time assistance there too.

Judging will be handled by GreatRedSpirit, Archeia_Nessiah, Liberty, and Deckiller. After all the judges have played the games they will rank the games by their own preference. When a game is listed as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd the game gets 7, 5, or 3 points respectively. The game with the most points wins!

The dev lead for the game that scored the most points will be awarded a new Ace product key! We only have one key so teams will have to fight to the death against each other decide who gets the key. We'll also have achievements: The top prize achievement for the 1st place team, runner up achievements for the 2nd and 3rd teams, and participation achievements for everybody who participated.

Important Update! Our prize has been donated to us from our friends at Degica and RPG Maker Web:

I wanted to tell Kentona first, but the dude totally JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TALK TO HIM. (Ok, not really, he just left the irc channel), but I'm just too happy not to want to announce it myself.

For people who don't know, I'm Nick Palmer, I work managing the official RPG Maker English site's(RPGMakerWeb.com) blog, Facebook, Twitter, Forum, and well, a billion other hats involved in RM Marketing.

Anyway, we at Degica (the company that markets and distributes RPG Maker outside of Japan) want to show appreciation to RMN for being such a great fan community for our products. As such, we will be supplying the Medal of Honor prize copy of RPG Maker VX Ace.
This is a great boon to RMN! Thank you Touchfuzzy, and thanks Degica! Your support of RMN is apprciated.

You get half a month starting when Ace is released until the end of April 1st giving two weeks and a weekend to create your game. There is some leeway in situations where game breaking bugs are found by the judges after the 1st and the devs will be allowed to fix these bugs.

Just release something for the Snoppy Badge. That seems to be the strategy behind most of these entries anyway!


Yeah, Snoopy badge doesn't seem like such a bad thing! And it was fun to toy around with a new RPG Maker anyhow. Still, some very deserving looking entries being released! Looks like it'll be a good competition to see some awesome new games.

So, I tried to run FRAPS on my compromised laptop... didn't work.

SO HAVE SOME WHORE



and pretend you're switching her in and out of the Vanguard, oh yeah, mmmmm.
You know I'll be using her, Craze. I've got a special spot in my heart for Hana'an. <3
(I don't even know why. I just like her character. >.<; )


And is that Bardoc, the Magnificent?

Haha, she gets around ~ she's actually really useful with Illinois and/or Eon, though, as she weakens enemies' resistance to their choice element. You can easily build a deadly party around her, so!

AHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA no, but I should make that one of his passive skills
(don't you know that all diablocide names alliterate!? he's bardoc the banished)
May the best game win!

...I think I'm a little quick and presumptuous with my submissions...
Four days left, eh?

...I wonder if Rhyme is participating in this contest...

if squallbutts was a misao category i'd win every damn year

I'm eventing the last cutscene of my game now ;3;

I still have some more stuff to finish off in the main meat of the game, but I'm making sure that if I don't get around to it I can just link everything up and be done.
Okay, Silent Eyes is done. I have done all I want to do with it. Really... At least, for this contest. I might revisit it later, but If I don't call it done now, I may not. CUTOFF... NOW!
I have a bit too much homework to finish in time. Which isn't fair for few reasons:
1.Before I had this piggybacking monitor, my small laptop kept me from running the programs such as VX, XP, and VX Ace. By the time I got the monitor, it was about 2 weeks/close to the end of the competition.
2.How could I tell I was going to have so much homework this week! If I knew that, I wouldn't of signed up, and now I'm bringing my team mate down with me! That is definetly not fair for him to help me with so much work, and then us not be able to submit it for the competition.

2 people who may never finish vs. many finished people: who would be the judge here?

Downloads should be in that collection of icons below the Important marker on the game page editor page. I'm not sure if your game has to be approved or not before you can upload a download.
