Description
This is the second time we've ran the Swap in the Middle with You event. It's a pretty simple premise. You start a game and work on it for two weeks. At the end of that fortnight all the games are pooled and then distributed semi-randomly to each other. Then everyone finishes the games they are given over the two weeks.

Creators are allowed to change the content of the first half of the game this time around, in order to make it fit the end half ideas. It's expected so don't be upset if you find your game has changed between sending it off and getting it back! I highly recommend making your first half a fun game that you don't mind morphing into something else, so as to stave off any protective instincts you may have towards the story and ideas.
If it helps people to disassociate themselves a bit from being clingy with their games think of the first half of the event as you making part of a game for someone else - it's not your game, it's theirs. You're just making it for them to mess with. The second half is where you get to make what your get yours.
Remember, we're doing this for fun, guys, and a big part of that is seeing how someone else takes your ideas and makes them into something else. Ideally we'll see games come from this with interesting changes and twists, so don't get attached to the first halves!
Rules
- Sign up below. Make sure that you're dedicated for the both parts of the event.
- Games must be new and made only for this event.
- You may use any RM engine. Sorry, while it is a neat idea in theory to use any engine, most people who sign up might not have experience in those engines, limiting the ability to finish the games. Please point out if you have the legal or non-legal versions of RPG Maker 2000 and 2003! It won't do anyone any good if I hand you a legal version to finish when you only have the non-legal version to work with, after all!
- If you only have access to a particular RM engine, please note that in the comment section so that I know to account for that when distributing the first half of the games.
- Also, make sure to include an RTP stand-alone version of the game (and include resources) when passing it over so that your partner is not looking for different files to make it work.
- When it comes time to submit, for the first half of the game upload the WIP to the event locker (accessed by Submit in the top corner).
- First halves of games must be in by the time shown under the Details section after you add your time offset in the settings of your account. The Date End reflects this and will be changed when the second halves are handed out.
- The second halves will be submitable by game page ONLY. Make a game page for your game whenever you like, just remember to update the information when the second creator comes into play.
- To keep time realistic, aim for each half to have a half-hour of play at the most. This will make an hour-long game, which is pretty decent for a month of work. You can go over this amount, but remember that the longer the game, the less chance there is to finish it.
- At least 10 minutes of game play time per half!
- In the spirit of the event, don't be a back-seat driver to the second creators. They can take the game where they like - that's half the fun of the event. In fact, let's just say that you keep your fingers out of the game pie after it gets handed over. Make it something of a surprise, eh?
- All games must abide by site rules - pared down to 'no hate speech, no highly sexual content, etc'. If you have questions about what is and is not appropriate, PM Liberty and ask.

Because some numpty (frogge) did a silly with the countdown timer I'm giving an extra two hours. If the game isn't in by that time, welp.
By count, this means 2 and a half hours from this moment, exact.

I'm so mad I couldn't get a half done. The last swap event was so much fun.
Good luck, everyone else!

Just a heads-up: you should get your second game some time later today after the end of this phase of the event. I'll send you the name of your 'partner' via PM, so keep an eye out for that.

I wanted to work on one but I ended up being invested on this octopath traveler plugin series with my friend Olivia. I'll try to get something done in 4 hours...maybe...
Nessy if not you have my official permission* to make an "alternate ending" to my half, unless the devs feel that would be disrespectful to the event/bad of course. did i say devs? i mean mods? staff? what do you call those people who run this site? WHAT ARE WORDS
if u do get something done in 4 hours mad props. then again, 3-hours were once a thing. i remember...the land of...IRC

dawg on my end you better believe there's gonna be a fuckin' wait. no disrespect to whoever's half I get but I'm gonna take myself a couplefew days to REST
*and by "have my official permission" i obviously mean im begging you to, partly cause i think it's right up your alley but mostly because notice me senpai /fangirl
There will be wait! Just.. it'll be somewhere within the next 12 or so hours. The end time of the second half will be a day longer to compensate the wait.
Oh boy... I managed to scrounge up enough gameplay to make it in.
To whoever gets my half, I didn't have the time to write an extensive readme file. There is one, but it isn't that explainatory.
Feel free to PM me for whatever doubts you may have.
Also, choosing GUARD makes you drink from your valuable water canteen, so whoever gets it, please fix that.

Yeah, I tried it out. AMAZING intro but the rest is a bit of a mess. I really hope whoever gets it really knows what they're doing with RPG Maker XD;
Also, could you please not name things so long names that it breaks the site formatting? It may also cause other people problems when trying to download it.
I forgot it does that to the formatting dfnkb jkajbvhjdvfgbnnhng va vfgbkdfm fjknb dfjbgv fgn i'd fix it but can't edit the files now
thanks!! ; o ;
There's not much to see in playmode after the intro sadly ; 3 ; there's a LOT of stuffies crammed in there, but it's mostly unused / unconnected
I was gonna do a lot more and document a lot more, but well, i'm me, and even though i overworked and sat on this game every day for two weeks i still somehow managed to do less than half what i wanted to do BUT THIS ISN'T THE IGMC I'M NOT STRESSED i'm not stressed I'M NOT STRESSED i am stressed but i'm here to aid if someone needs me a

Jojo, did you have fun? If the answer is yes, then sit back relax and just be cool. No need to worry about it anymore.

so yeah from what I'm reading is nobody's exactly THRILLED with the "completeness" of the half they turned in, but i did just want to apologize for the inevitable bugs i failed to iron out in mine. esp. any that crash the game! hopefully there won't be any but i have no fucking idea.
Wow, this is a solid participation in the end.
Sorry, I didn't make it. I decided to spend my free time on finishing Tsufanebra (finally), I still owe Ephiam that review and I want to have my slate clean.

Hmm, well I would have liked to finish 2 more maps and added more skills and recipes, but overall I'm pretty happy with what I made in under 2 weeks. (had like 2-3 days total where I couldn't get anything done due to cold/bad reactions)
o3o Now for peeps to get a good night sleep and do it all over again. Suffer for your art!
Edit: Oh and some more items and conversation changes for after certain events. And of course an even more comprehensive README file. 6 Pages is def not long enough.
