Description


It's that time of the year again! That's right, it's rpgmaker.net's 5th birthday and to celebrate this momentous occasion we're going to be having ourselves a nice little game-making bash.

So on June 3rd, 2012, you are cordially invited to participate in RMN's 5th birthday celebration: a 5-hour game-making event. Once the theme is revealed at midnight UTC on June 3rd, users will have a block of 5 hours in which to make a game (any block of 5 hours of the day's 24) and the contest will officially close at 11:59pm UTC on June 3rd. As usual with short time-frame events, we'll be relying on the “honor system” ("honour system" for our European brethren), meaning, please don't take it too seriously and/or cheat: this is just for fun.


That said, participants will receive a tasty slice of birthday achievement and the winner of the event will walk away with the coveted 5-year birthday cake*. They will also receive a copy of RPG Maker 3 Music Pack ($20 value!)


  • There are no restrictions on engine or graphics
  • The theme will be announced at midnight UTC on June 3rd
  • The 24 hour period will be for June 3rd UTC; you can use any block of 5 hours in this time-frame. We're going by the “honor system” here, so please be honorable.
  • As with all of the short events, you're not expected to make something fantastic or srs bsns. Hell, don't even worry too much about finishing; the entries usually end up being pretty terrible and a lot of fun, so take this as a chance to cut loose your usual game-dev hangups and do something for the hell of it. You can always continue the project after the event if you like it.
  • Most of all, have fun!




"Badaptations"

Bad video game adaptations of TV shows, movies, songs, comics, etc. You can't make an adaptation of another video game, though!

Remember: you have 5 hours, spent between now and 11:59pm UTC, to make your game!

Remember: "If there is good reason to suspect you used entire swathes of content that you prepared for another game to make your entry, you likely won't win."



Winners to be determined! All participants who submit a game will receive the Dino Achievement. The judges will choose the official winner of the event; he or she will receive the Fred Flinstone Achievement. After the event concludes, there will also be a voting period for the User's Choice winner; this fan favorite will win the Barney Rubble Achievement.


So please, come down and join the party on June 3rd and see what you can do in 5 hours to mark 5 years of RMN history.

Happy 5th Birthday, RMN! :D

*Cake is actually just pixels, makerscore and kentona’s tears.

...the same as the general consensus! Congratulations Deckiller on winning the 5th Anniversary 5 hour game making event!

Your just rewards will be awarded shortly.
My winner will be revealed next week. (It's been hectic at work! We go live in a new region on Tuesday - basically the culmination of an 8 month project)
Didn't know voting was open, although I only played one entry anyway.
I hadn't had time to play them, (baby-sitting >.<; ) else I'd have voted too.
I didn't vote since I cannot play XP or VX games, and about the others I just knew a very few :/ so my vote would almost be Bob SquarePants since it is the only I would known and could play.
Deck did everything right. Everybody else (myself included) was missing an element or 5 (hrhrhr). Wouldn't surprise me if he gets the Fred award too.


What the hell's with the measly 12 votes though? It's a landslide in this case, but future events should maybe have a 7-day voting period to allow a weekend?
Congrats deckiller, I thought 5 was hilarious, and it had actual gameplay too!

Gratz decky boy!

I'm so sad I couldn't finish in time. "Umbra Games" was too ambitious, however. ;)
The voting results are in! Congratulations Team Decky Boy for the User's Choice award!

I will announce the official winner tomorrow (I have a dentists appointment to go to this afternoon).

I can safely say you won't need the VX RTP to play mine. :P

Word, yo.
*fistpound*


Out of curiosity, how many votes are we at? I mean total, not everybody's current score.

And anyone who wants to play my piece of crap without the 2k RTP needs to include the line

FullTimePackageFlag=1

in the RPG_RT.ini file after installing the game.
For anyone who's trying to play my terrible "game" and getting an error about monster.png:



Save, put into the faceset folder. Sorry!

I was really impressed with the WWF vs WWF until I saw what maker it was made in. Bonus points for showing me a new maker to toy around with!
