Description

Friday the 13th is coming up and it coincides with the date of the next Release Something! Day! Talk about a coincidence!

So, some of you might not know what a Release Something! Day (RS!D) is. Basically, it's a day where you release something - anything! - in order to get feedback from the community. Release Something! Day used to be a regularly occurring event in the days of yore, back when the community had a sticky issue of never releasing any games or demos (because perfectionists I guess?). RS!D was created as a way to encourage sharing, collaboration, feedback, and content in the community. The aim is to truly try to capture the spirit of releasing something. It is not about prepping a major release, or making something in a fury to have something new to show for the event. It is about showing your works-in-progress, getting feedback, and checking out what other people are working on. Like a snapshot of RMN's development community.



What kinds of things can be shown? Music, tiles, sprites, graphics of any type, gameplay (videos of gameplay tests are good), tech demos, demos - even completed games (but don't strive for a finished product; that's not the point of RS!D). Let the feedback work for you. Although, there are some limitations to RMN's event profile - only game downloads can be submitted to the "official" event submission. But that's okay! I will manually compile all of the other types of submissions and update the event page.

So, some of you might not know what a Release Something! Day (RS!D) is. Basically, it's a day where you release something - anything! - in order to get feedback from the community. There will even be a podcast covering the releases.



1. If you are posting a game demo or download, make a Gameprofile (if you haven't already), upload the file, and submit the download to this event (by clicking the Submit button in the upper left)
2. If you are posting other media (like screenshots or music or graphics or videos) submit it to the site like normal and then post a link to it in the comments



There will be a badge worth 10 MS for releasing something. Best feedback givers will also get a badge worth 20 MS. Because the feedback is what counts this time.

There might even be a podcast!

Oh man, why is this so nerveracking?!
I DIDN'T DO SHIT!

Between this, MOG, and the two times I've tried doing music for other people on this site, I guess I can conclude that I really won't get anything done unless its for a project that I'm working on.

Oh well, I suppose I'll try out the demos and such tomorrow and at least try and give some useful feedback.

Here it is!Just retooled the description on the game page so it's not horrible and amateurish. The secret is out of the bag!
Woo!


Eyeball trees! They are stunning. Ok sorry, probably should say that on the gamepage, but seriously, eyeball trees!

@slash - sadly, that thing you are thinking of is not a thing that will be released this day. soz.


Fair enough! My bad, I jumped the gun :P

Also dang, I thought we had to release on Friday but then I saw it's actually over three days! I s'pose that's why everyone is linking stuff already... Woo! Extra time!

Since I knew I wasn't going to be submitting any game demos to this, thanks to my habitual procrastination, I decided to make a miniature expansion to the graphics pack that I made for MOG. It includes two new battlers and a new characterset... Yup!

The gist of push polls is usually just to misinform you of issues under the guise of gathering info, but I don't think they actually care about getting responses.

Oh, right, RS!D. Let's see... what did I have to release again?


:D

:D :D :D
It's not compulsory, it's just a push poll and targeting mechanism. It's part of determining what voter block you belong to in their system and how to target you (if at all). One of Dear Leader's party's strengths is that they know who their voting block are and can call on them to vote and donate as elections come up and also know who not to waste resources on (or rather, who to target for voter suppression. Hello robocall scandal!). Everything about that survey is a joke but it has a calculated purpose.

e: Got suppression and disenfranchisement backwards
This for team: Open World in Review.

Here is what Unity contributed to my project:
http://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/8935/locker/Monster_Battle_Chars.zip
Battle chars for 8 different monster chars done in the style of First Seed Material!

Here is a compilation video of what I've done so far on Amulet of Fate:

Its pretty much my submission since a game download would be rather impractical right now.
Looking forward to everyone else's entries!
Post your links in bold so that we can see them. We'll do a compilation list when more start rolling in that can't be added to the event page normally. ^.^



So, for example, here's one of mine:
Updated Sample Map
A sample map that has been updated to not look like complete shit. Free for anyone who uses Ace to use. If people would like to see a bunch of these released, let me know~

Is that mailout compulsory, or just a method of garnering names and addresses to target to political campaigns?

I would really like to see something like that in Australia, Liberty is right, the results would be heavily slanted in favour of annoying the government irrespective of the actual question. It's probably why we don't get ones like that. Mores the pity.

So, back OT, when do we get to see the submissions so we can supply feedback?

Well, my submission is as good as it's gonna get. Now I just wait for 8:30 hours when the clock strikes midnight on the 13th...
You have to wait for the secret thirteenth hour that's only given to game-makers (I wish it existed, at least ;_;)


Or if you live in Jareth's Labyrinth.

I don't have a game page for this, since you said a locker file would suffice. Should I just post the link to the file here?
Just finished up my entry today. Now I need to get the go ahead from my super secret super co-collaborator and I can submit it.
@GRS: The funny thing is, that shit wouldn't fly in Australia because everyone would take it as a joke and pick the terrorist option. Like, fuck yeah mate, I'm with the terrorists. Fuck this government. Fuck Tony Abbot. Terrorism go!~~~

We don't really take our politics seriously because we know we're fucked either way. :/

(everyone who voted abbot hangs their heads in shame. they know they done fucked up big time. idiots.)

Oh, right, RS!D. Let's see... what did I have to release again?

It all started on the 13th hour, of the 13th day, of the 13th month. We were there to discuss the misprinted calendars the school had purchased.

I get the funny sense of a reference to Shin Megami Tensai - Persona 3, and it's Dark Hour, here.
