I'm taking this in a BOLD NEW DIRECTION.
Welcome to Map Design Fun #8: Befuddle Quest, a collaborative puzzle/maze game community project. Using a specific product, RPG Maker 2003, we will each make a single map puzzle using RTP and I will link them together in a quest. Why RM2k3? Because it's accessible to the majority of people and because it's pretty easy to link maps together using it. That, and I'm running the show and that's what I use (because I'm old).
TIMELINE ::..
Starts: When you officially sign up.
Submission Deadline: April 19th, 2009 @ Midnight
RULES ::..
- You must use RM2k3
- You must only make one map
- No battles or anything that involves the Database
- No instant Game Overs (restart the puzzle instead)
- No Teleport events - use Recall to Memorized Position
- Encouraged to use RTP
- The hero is Zack, the first default hero in RM2k3
STORY ::..
Our poor friend Zack has been captured by the evil Baron von Niddly and locked away in his menacing tower for daring to fall in love with the Baron's beautiful daughter Broomhilda. Poor Zack!
Now Zack must escape the nefarious Baron's befuddling tower and make his way to his love and impressing the Baron with his puzzle solving skills!
SUBMISSION ::..
Before the deadline on April 19th, 2009 @ Midnight, zip or rar up your project, upload it somewhere and send me a link to the file (either in a PM or here in this thread).
Please include with your submission:
- The RM2k3 project
- The coordinates of the ENTRANCE and EXIT points on the map
- A brief description of the puzzle
- A detailed walkthrough (in tags or in a PM)
- Puzzle difficulty
- Any special notes or issues you think I need to know to link the map into the game
NOTES ::..
This game will be about the puzzles, but feel free to take the story in bold new directions!
Also, feel free to use any variables or switches you like - I will reset them to 0/OFF between each puzzle.

Thanks for participating everyone! We had a pretty good turnout as far as Map Design Fun's go.
Maybe after people play this, more people will be interested in doing a second Befuddle Quest...

I'd definately participate in it, but I've got a question: do you you want the file? Or do you just want a picture and event processes?

all righty, I'm designing a floor that's 100x100. It includes minotaurs who if they see you you die.
Edit:Are we allowed to use variables and switches?

Zack is a loser. Alex 4 lyfe
I might have something (aka a converted map from DG)
I refuse to call him Zack. He is and forever will be Sir Kristoph the Wrongful
I will boggle your mind with questions!
So this the prelude to the other map contest.. Also not much for rtp myself though I love what you and Liberty, Craze, etc have done with it.
author=Blitzen link=topic=3489.msg69938#msg69938 date=1239182790Finished or kicked out? nvm. Welcome aboard!
Sure. I am done school forever. Bring on the RPGMaker. :p
author=Tau link=topic=3489.msg69931#msg69931 date=1239171150I guess so. This has been on my backburner for over a year.

EDIT:
We also need a cool looking TITLE SCREEN and SIGS. Any volunteers?

Sorry, I really lack imagination when it comes to puzzles.
So do I; I'm just going to try and make an interesting maze with a cheap gimmic that hopefully won't overstay its welcome

I'm a total newbie here, but I'd like to get in on this. I have done some RPGmaker2k3 coding/building before, and lurked on here some.
Also, a thought: story might flow better if we all refrained from having Zack from saying any auto-dialogue(i.e., only dialogue options and 'implied speech' a la Breath of Fire). As much as I hate the 'silent hero' thing, it'll be a lot more coherent if his talking style/personality/etc doesn't change for every puzzle.
