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.


Badges
- A badge for those who release a completed game - 60 MS
- A badge for those who release a demo - 30 MS

So, who thinks is gonna finish this on time?
Nobody!


Hahah nice pun.

For what it's worth, I was able to release a demo of my project earlier in the month. I don't mind not submitting that demo to this event (and therefore not getting the MS boost from the achievement). It felt accomplishing enough just to be able to get to that point in the game's development!


Niceee I'm proud of you, man! *can't relate*
Oops, had to re-upload my demo after I discovered that INT Up and INT Up + increased your ATK instead of INT

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

These people submitting two weeks before the deadline....

in my day you waited until the 11th hour carefully planning out how many megabytes your upload speed was so you could attach the download to the event page 5 minutes before the deadline

Hell, a year later later I found a bug in the backup of my submission for the 1.44 Floppy Disc Event. Can we have an extension into winter 2023?

EDIT: Neglect this, it turns out I didn't back up the version I used for the final submission. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This legit caused me to have a confidence breakdown last night.
We're only halfway through and people are already turning in stuff?
I guess I should probably hurry so I can at least submit the page for it...

Ikr same but since I don't know whether I'll finish on time or not I'll probably submit the gamepage around the end.
I completed my game! I hope everyone has fun playing it!

When I showcase it on my profile, it shows an outdated screenshot. Can someone fix this for me or tell me how to, if it's not too much trouble?

I believe that when you edit your photos, you can select whether or not you want to use the picture as your main screenshot. I apologize in advance if this isnt what you're talking about

Yeah, I think the "showcase" image(s)...



...are supposed to be based off what's set to the "main" image. However, it also seems true that attempting to change the "main" image doesn't also change the showcase image.

At least, the image does not change right away? It could be that the image doesn't update until midnight, like Makerscore does? However, I'm not 100% sure of that. The example above includes a game that has a star-rated review, and that review has existed since December of last year.

I... did? The showcase image remained the same.
Oh, showcase is picked if you don't have a logo. It's what shows up in the game list on your own page or in game search areas. To replace it, give another the showcase tick and untick the current one if it's still picked.

Main page is one of the four slots on the gamepage itself. If you have more than four I think it picks either the last or first ones chosen. (it'd be neat if it randomised between them, but alas)

Hope that makes sense?
I didn't know this existed.






Don't press any key. You need to download it first.

IT. IS. DONE!
Man it feels good to be productive. The game is a little rough looking, but it is fully playable ^^ All in all, I'm pretty happy how it turned out.
Damn, everyone's releasing and getting ready for release and I feel like I'm barely off the ground. I don't even have enough screenshots to be able to submit a game page ;_;
