I understand about the custom content thing, but no RM2k3 ?

Oh well, but damn, I think Enterbrain should declare Rm2k3 as abandon-ware already.


No rm2k(3)?

Don't really have the time to learn how to make an RPG of all things on another engine, and I don't feel like shelling out money for RMXP/VX just yet... so sadly I guess I'm out

Apart from being your own content, nope.


... but content that officially ships with the editor, i.e. the RTP?
You can use other graphics and music but most of it should still be your own, unless you have a good reason (laziness isn't a good reason). And you will have to make your own inquiries as to whether you're breaching copyright.

Well, it seems like a mainly-RTP project wouldn't be in the spirit of this contest then.
Wow, the prizes just got a big boost! Also, that kind of looks like boogers.
...time to make a game.
That is all, lol XD
Sign me up in the competition! I would love to enter in something like this! But I have a few questions. Will there be anything specific you will be looking for, such as art quality or strong storyline or fun Design, ect. Will it matter if one game has higher quality of art because of a strong engine and the other low quality art because of a weak engine?

Thank you!

Oh yes, and another question! Does it have to be a beginning to end story or can it stop at a end of chapter bases?

Thank you again!

You need to sign up at 64digits to enter. Nothing nefarious, it's just that the logistics of keeping up with all the entries would be impossible otherwise.

Games will be judged on an "overall" basis. In other words, the most entertaining game wins.

What kind of story structure your game follows is up to you.

By the way, RPG maker are sponsoring us now. See the competition page for details.

Extremely tempting: anyone thinking about entering this and looking for a partner?

By the way, does the game have to be fully custom or are public domain resources fine?
It doesn't have to be 100% custom, but something like 60% custom. Most of it has to be your own work.

I know that's a silly rule, but it's what happens when you try to please everyone. Future competitions will be fully custom.
I might have a go at this then. I've been wanting to make a 90% fully custom game for some time. (I didn't know how I was going to make decent sound effects).

Ah probably not for me then. That's a huge shame!
First prize is now $400 + a bunch of other stuff. Sponsored by RPG maker, Yoyo Games and Game Jolt.

One week to enter. Do it. Now.
Hey, if some of the game for the contest has already been developed before May 1st, is that alright?

Like the story concept, or a few maps, or some music, or some graphics, or something?
For content made before the competition, the same rules apply as content not made by you. The majority of the content has to be made by you AFTER the competition starts. That stills leaves a bit of head-space to use existing content.
