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~

As always, there's badges to consider~
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?

CloseWe nned a Monty Python reference in that peasant event~
I would definitely consider doing another event like this some time. Not this year, but maybe the next.

Its going to be a photo finish for me. I'm not submitting mine until the deadline and even then it might not be completely done.
But I will at least have something. Which is 100% more than I usually submit to events.

I would love to see a long term generational event, where everyone signs up, one person gets picked to start, and then you trade the game to the next, the next, etc. Doubtful it would be possible since its hard enough to get people to make something in a week, but it would be really cool to see what you ended up with after 5-6 people did their sections (besides for the most part a hot mess).
@Rine: There were Chain Game Events back in the day, but they never went anywhere special. Shit was impossible to organize.

Yeah, I figured, pie in the sky and all that. Always wanted to get a generational game going with Dwarf Fortress too, but adults and schedules :P

Go to your settings. Input the time zone you live in (for me, that's +10, for example) then check the date/time on the page and it will tell you, in your time, when the first part of the event ends.
The dates will change when the second part starts. It's basically just set to midnight GMT Sunday.
Really? I thought there were at least another 24 hours. The end date is Monday morning for me. Quick count, there's another... 36 hours to go.
I'm pulling out of the event. My laptop crashed and simply refuses to boot. I'm still trying to figure out what happened exactly. It's either an abnormally strong virus, or an attack, I don't know. Either way, I won't be able to participate. All my files are in there, and I have no way to get to them.
Really sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

Well, I'm basically done with my half. I've just got clean up to do. I've deliberately left the story unfinished and I hope my successor does something interesting with it. Also, he or she is welcome to make alterations to my half as they see fit.
Submitted mine! I may have spent too much time working on it (been putting hours into it every day this week XD;; ) But I've got about 25 minutes of playtime and I feel alright about it.
Taking a cue from what people were talking about with people each choosing half the title, I've named my half "Bloody" with the expectation that the other dev fills in the rest of the title.
Can't wait to see what someone makes with it ^_^
