Description

The war ends. The corpses of dead and dying litter the battlefield of what was once a lush, imaginative landscape. Medics roam the fields, tending to those injured and near to death.

You are one of these medics. Scattered around you are the bodies of those games that vied for your attention in this battle. Who you save is in your hands.

Yup, it's that time of year again! Combining Release Something and the annual Halloween event, we task you with tending to those games you left unfinished and broken on the battlefield of creativity.

The twist this time? Just finish your fucking games! New or old, as long as it's unfinished it's viable for this event. Get to it, save those lives!

Rules
- Start on October 1st
- Finish by October 30th
- Game can be abandoned or something you are currently working on. As long as it begins the event unfinished and ends up being completed or released by the end of it, it'll count!
- There needs to be a decent chunk of work done on it over the course of the month.
- Any engine, any resources, etc
- Must have a game page made and accepted to the site BEFORE the end date.

To Submit:
- You need a gamepage that has been accepted to the site (either newly made or an older one from the initial creation of the game)
- Sign up to this page as a participant.
- Click the Submit button at the top-right of the page.
- Upload the game to your gamepage.
- Choose the proper download for the game from the drop-down list and hit Submit.

The thing I did for this is recorded in this blog. I didn't set up a separate download specifically for this event, so, the main download's where it's at.

*Edit: I think I mentioned this earlier, but, I feel it's achievement enough to get this much done for the game in such a small space!

This download fixes a non-disruptive bug. Purely QOL fix.

Double check the end date. It finished 18 hrs ago.


I did see that now, but the Rules page still says finish by October 30 so I assumed that meant October 30.

Regardless, I do have a new demo ready for anyone interested. You can find it here.
Legacy (Day 10 demo)

I may have missed out on some visibility associated with the event, but I hope you guys check it out.
Missed the deadline but here's what I did for this year.

A long time ago I made an online achievement system:
https://rpgmakeronline.org/

However it broke a while ago, the plugin I used for the database was depreciated and finally got removed in 2020 (in my defence I did not know it was depreciated back in 2013). So I've spent a significant amount of time rewriting the database code and re-testing that it all works.

Then I set out to add online achievements to Final Quest:
https://rpgmaker.net/games/6048/
(main download - you can still access the original download on the download page)

I just finished testing it. I had completely forgotten that back in VX Ace you have to reload a map for changes to an event to be reflected if you saved on that map, I'd like those two hours of my life back. If you're interested in checking it out then the game is about half an hour long, maybe a bit longer and worth 500 achievement points!

ouuuugghhhh this blows

edit: its up, goodnight

it still has issues but ill submit a new version tomorrow maybe
If anyone does end up playing my entry, any feedback and/or advice is welcome. I'm hoping I can improve on it with later versions at some point down the line.
I just submitted a gamepage for "The Legend of Swale's Hero", my short RPG about fighting an invasion of sentient alien plants. (Click here to check it out.)

Nothing to play yet, but at least I have something to show for my work this past month!

*Edited to add the link once the gamepage was approved.
+1 for definitely not gonna make it. Maybe I can start working on the Halloween tileset next year
I'm not sure whether I'll upload anything since there is barely any gameplay but if I do, It's gonna be text reading only.
No way I'll finish. Been too sick for the last few weeks.

Couldn't even come close to finishing my game. From my computer breaking forcing a full restart of development + asset gathering, school, work, and like 5 different long-ass RPGs I've been playing, (Persona 5 being one of them. Pray for me...) I've basicly have had no time for gamedev. And when I do have time I usually spend all of it making assets (which I don't need since AKS exists) or downloading music. It's hard building back your soundtrack, your assets, and your database after losing everything! Life really does suck sometimes...

Edit: Plus my computer seat is beyond uncomfortable so I can't sit down for more than an hour on my PC without my butt hurting.

ehhh not gonna make it, will probably just move my project to another game jam and repeat the process of not finishing it.
