So who's up for this

I was thinking about this sites closure and decided that the most important thing about RMN for me was how it consistently got me up off my ass to actually make and release games. Whether for Action 52 or Shinan's contest or the various seasonal gamemaking contests I pretty consistently had a blast in trying to put together and release something under a deadline while also seeing what the other cool_dudes taking part would come up with. I think even beyond forumchats and recieving crits etc this kind of activity was what attracted me most to the site and was actually what made me join in the first place! And I thought it would be a fitting farewell kinda to use the forums closure as yet another excuse to hunker down and be productive.

So yeah if anyone is interested the aim is to release a full game before the forum implodes. This gives you a month!! to get something out. so you have until april 2.

If anyone's interested in judging what gets released etc then we can make an actual contest out of this sucker. It's not an official contest or whatever. You can use any engine or materials etc so 'go ape' as they say.

Themes are optional but in case you need one I would suggest: RAD DOGS

remember: "forums are temporary... finished games are forever" - dark_nietzsche_666


The Site Isn't Closing Down
...however the the sentiment of completing games is a good one. Working against a deadline with other chaps in a "last gasp" game drive whilst sharing crits and encouragement is something worth doing, I believe.

So I am making an official event out of this sucker.

Rules
* Complete a game by April 2nd 16th
* Use a gameprofile download as your entry
* It doesn't have to be a new game - you can take one of your existing projects and finish it off

Theme
* RAD DOGS
* Theme is optional

Minutiae
* We don't have judges or a contest or anything, but if you want to be a judge let me know and I can add you!
* Participants who submit a completed game will get a nifty Rad Dog achievement (makerscore!!)

Good news everyone! I have finished compiling everything required for Kyer's limit breaks, now I just need to set them up in the editor :D

...which brings us to a total of 8/28 limit breaks completed.

Crap, gonna have to drop out. Freakin software update screwed most of my settings and I've been going back line by line trying to fix it, a lot of the scripts were overwritten, and on top of that i got that cursed TAKs test coming up and a lot of school work to do..

Although the demo should be out next month regardless :p

I have decided to make a different game for this event, and it will be done in time! I haven't even started it yet. It will have 100% custom content!

Welp. I definitely have not gotten as far as I'd hoped. The main problem being a lack of battle system. Guess I'm out of this one.

Given the recent events, I may have to postpone the due date for this. I will know more about what's going on with the server migration tomorrow. (I don't want this event to end, have a bunch of new games, and then the site go down for a week as we migrate! that would suck.)

i'll keep you guys posted .

Exams in less than a month. Safe to say I won't be working on Character anymore till summer, no matter what the deadline is. :( Oh well.

I small extension would benefit me as well. :P

My new game I started on Wednesday is progressing well, but some extra time would be welcome.

Can everyone who has so far released a game for this event provide a link to their gameprofile? Just so I can keep track of it all.

I have not yet decided whether or not to extend the deadline. I will let you know later this morning.
