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?

No I have not because... Money issues. 2k is 25$ on steam which is a little expensive. I regret not buying it here when it was on special, but even though I really like the combat system on 2k (I actually really do, with all the messages, I think it has a certain charm), it didn't seem worth it since it's pretty much otherwise the same as 2k3 which I own legally.
Most of the time too, I won't even use the combat system so I don't feel it's worth it.
Imagine the frustration of buying a RM engine and having it not work on Windows 10, it has happened to me with a bunch of games on Steam already.
It's on sale all the time for 2 and 3 dollars. Just keep an eye on it. I have absolutely no problem with the version on Steam.

The official website has had some killer sales at times. I picked up my XP for 5$ during one sale, and 2K3 for $2.50 during another. During yet another sale, I picked up $200+ worth of DLC for just $25. (I otherwise would never drop this kind of money on DLC. I like my add-ons, but not to the tune of triple digits...) It's definitely worth waiting for a sale~!
They had a sale where it was $4 just the other week. I posted here about it so people could grab them up. It might still be on. Maybe check? rpgmakerweb.com
EDIT: It's not. Just keep an eye out. If you subscribe to the page in Steam then you'll get notices when they go up for sale.

The official news letter often gives out some decent discount codes too. That's how I got that huge discount on the DLCs.

Which did you use for your game, Gredge?
Whoops! Should have mentioned it. MV.

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

Oh, right. I've said I have VXAce and XP. But I have XP on a computer I only have access to during weekends, so I'd also rather not get an XP project.
I used VXAce for the first half.
Rine, Pizza and Someoneman, please report to the principals office.
Strike that. Unless Pizza or Rine changed in their initial posts, I only need to know what engine Someoneman is using and then it's go-go-go!
author=LibertyJust waiting on 3 more and we'll be good to go.Strike that. Unless Pizza or Rine changed in their initial posts, I only need to know what engine Someoneman is using and then it's go-go-go!
Rine, Pizza and Someoneman, please report to the principals office.
Looking at the file, seems to be RPG Maker 2003 official.
I am so excited to see who gets what game :DDDDDDD

Isn't that simply a matter of downloading his zip and looking what engine it is?

Wow, I must be brain-fried because I didn't even think to do that. XD Thanks!
I'll get started on the randomisation process then! Prepare your keisters!

Liberty. You have 15 entries. How do you plan on making that straight swapsies?
It's not, though, is it? Doing it round-robin will fix that. Just because one person is making the second half of another person's game, that doesn't mean that the other person is making the second half of the first person's game.
EDIT: Not to mention, I count 20 entrees.
