Description
What is this?
This is a game making event where we partner up in order to create two games per partner!
TWO games?! Are you mad?!
I don't think so? Oh, wait, that was a rhetorical question, right?
Anyway, it's a pretty simple premise. You start a game and work on it for one week. At the end of that week all the games are pooled and then distributed semi-randomly to each other. Then everyone finishes the games they are given over the next week.
Basically, a big swaparoo~

Started in the Middle with You - 30MS - Received at the end of the event for those who started a game and had it completed.
Ended in the Middle with You - 30MS - Received at the end of the event for those who finished a game.
Meshing the Middle with You - 20MS - Given to the game that feels like a concerted effort to create a whole piece.
Mashed in the Middle with You - 20MS - Given to the game that is a mess of mashing together the elements.
Beyond the Middle, it's True - 50MS - Given to the overall best game of the lot, as judged by our panel of select cherry-pickers.

Rules
- Sign up below. Make sure that you're dedicated for the whole two weeks/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.
- 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 2 weeks. You can go over this amount, but remember that the longer the game, the less chance there is to finish it.
- 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?

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

CloseFor me, the correct size is anywhere between 110% and 125% zoom. The signs are still visible otherwise, but pretty badly aligned with the HUD.

Just to be certain, when we start making our games, can we start at 12:00 AM in our own time zones or do we follow GMT or something?
I finally got a good idea down. Well... "good." I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to it after.
Oh, so it was those weird white things in the sides!
I... thought that was a glitch or something.
Here's how I'm seeing it:

"First halves of games must be in by midnight of the 6th, your time. The Date End reflects this and will be changed when the second halves are handed out."
I assume this applies to the start time as well. So midnight, own time.
I worded that wrong. Shit.
Basically, as long as you've got your timezone entered into the site settings (go check your settings page and offset by your hours), then the time under Details is when you start.
So basically 2:30 hours.
Sorry about that. Updated to be more clear/correct.

So My Timezone Has me starting @7:00, To Put that in perspective, it's about 5:30 My time right now, So only 1 and a half hours my time before I can begin work on my Stupid piece of shit that will probably be totally unenjoyable anyway since I've never released anything I've ever done in VX Ace due to the severe lack of quality. Let's just hope the second half is good so some enjoyment can come out of it... Game.

Soon, soon! :DDDDDD
I just updated my correct time zone and realized it started in an hour and a half.
I'm pretty stoked! Got my notebook at the ready.

I have two ideas and I can't decide which to do.
One is serious. One is the opposite.
Do the one you think you'll have most fun with :D

Why not do both?

I mean, this event is perfect having two ideas and doing both.
Until literally one hour ago, I still had absolutely no idea what kind of game I was going to make for this event. Then, while I was brute forcing my way through the final boss of a game I was playing for the review event, I suddenly came up with something. Yay!
The big question is: Will I be able to actually even write that review, now that this event is starting and will probably eat all my time.?
