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.

I will be revealing the theme to the event in exactly 7 hours 20 minutes, at 8pm Eastern Time/Midnight UTC! From the time I reveal the theme, everyone will have exactly 24 hours to submit their entry. You may make the game during any five of those 24 hours...spending 3 hours in the morning/2 hours in the afternoon, all 5 at once, whatever! This is a slight departure from previous years, where you had to do it all once you knew the theme. I'm fine with people splitting up their devtime. Just please be honorable :)
Here's one hint: it's not necessarily a "serious" theme! Remember to have fun with this project :)

Crud, I have a bday party and a bachelor party tonight so I'll probably be in no mindset to do this tomorrow. However, I'll certainly try if I can get outta bed :P

Even if it's just some stupid 1-hour thing, it's better than nothing :D
2 Hours 51 Minutes!
Also, guys: all maps, cutscenes, databasing, etc must be ORIGINAL. You can't import stuff like that. It's cheating. Feel free to use graphics and sounds though - just be aware that if you use your flashy graphics from another project it will likely be frowned upon during judging if the graphics are clearly ripped from your AAA title. After all, it's very unfair to have one entry with custom graphics from another project that took 30+ hours to draw/create.
author=DeckillerWhat about the default RTP detabase, and the default RTP sample maps for VX ACE?author=sbesterEven if it's just some stupid 1-hour thing, it's better than nothing :D

That's all fine. I'm just saying it's kinda lame to make a 5-hour entry built in the framework of another game. Feel free to use all the public stuff you want, or make your own graphics in the time available! And I mean, you can take graphics from your other games and still submit something - it just gives you a somewhat unfair advantage and may be seen as cheap by judges.
The rationale is simple: if everyone is making RTP 5-hour games, and User X basically makes a couple battles and cutscenes using AAA Title's framework, then it's a clear unfair advantage. But if User Y carefully selects easily available resources or makes their own, then it's fine because others have access to that sort of thing or they made it within the timeframe, keeping things honest.
Think of it like an Iron Chef smuggling their special spices and cuts of meat into the kitchen instead of using the openly available ingredients and equipment. It would be frowned upon.

I see. This is gonna be pretty fun :3
Here it is, boiled down as simple as possible: "If your game looks, feels, and plays like something you already made or someone else in the RM scene has already made, then you aren't likely to win." or, "If there is good reason to suspect you used entire swathes of previously prepared content to make your entry, you likely won't win"

Can we just use RTP sets? Yes, yes I can.
Theme has been revealed! Good luck making your 5-hour entry! Remember: you have until 11:59pm UTC to submit: that's just under 24 hours away!
Happy 5th Birthday, RMN!
