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~
Rules
Achievements?
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?

CloseMan, everyone already completed their games. I'm so slow...

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

I haven't uploaded a download either yet. Now that I know we have the weekend as well I'm going to be optimizing on Saturday. And who knows, I might even throw in an optional dungeon or something.

Yeah, I plan on making the most of this extension. In fact, I'm probably going to exile myself from RMN until I get this thing done.
Cutscenes are finished, but I'm thinking I need to stagger out some information for the sake of pacing, so I'll need to *gulp* make more maps. Also, I need to add the actual gameplay.

I barely got any work done because of school. If only the event was a week longer, to make up for the second half not having march break. At least I'll try to get my game's cutscenes done, but I don't know if I will have time for gameplay.
Wrap it up. You've got the weekend to finish it (check the end date time), but that's all. If you can't do it by then, pass it on to someone else (or just cut out the scenes that aren't necessary.)

I'm getting anti climbing paint when trying to view the letter from hell game page. Who is the second dev on that one?
I think it's still set to private.
Reminder to submit downloads to the event page when they've been uploaded!

Okay. I'm convinced either supersonicsoda or someoneoneman has my first half. I just need one more clue and my mind will finally be at peace.

Yeah, I have a problem. I can't leave a puzzle unsolved.

Sorry about that, Craze.
Luckily it hardly ever happens that I get this obsessed over a dumb little bit of info. Several things need to all occur for it to happen. I need to:
A: Be invested in knowing the answer
B: Spend quite a bit of time trying to find the answer
C: Fail
D: Make slight progress several times, but ultimately still have the answer be just out of reach.
Most of the time A doesn't even happen.

Aw, I really looked forward to see the other half of my game, but it's hidden. I still have no idea of who my successor is, but my guess goes GRS for some reason.

Posted up mine/Pizzas. Unfortunately while Pizza did an amazing job of the mapping, I couldn't really add on to it much without breaking the style. Hopefully the bits of story I did add are enough :P
IT WAS ME (who got Letter From Hell)
Where'd you see it though? I did submit it as hidden just so that I wouldn't have to worry about it one hour from the deadline when I finally finished it all up and just had to submit the download. I've still got a bit to do but thankfully Saturday's all free for me to hammer out what's left.
