[EVENT] CHAIN GAME - RMN STYLE!

The RMN Chain Game
Where Real Men Chain Together

Gamepage is HERE.

So this EVENT will be a pretty lengthy endeavor. Basically, we will be EXPECTING to take months on this.
Together, we will build a game, each of us taking turns to add a new segment. The project folder including the entire RMN Chain Game will be passed from one person to the next.

We can openly discuss what we are working on with each other, so that we all have ample time to vaguely plan our segments. However, it might be best to -not- jump the gun and work on your project maps before your turn, because you will likely not know what you're following!

At any rate, enough talk. Here is how it's going down:

Each person will make a Chapter in the overall game.
-This can last from 30 minutes of gameplay to an hour. There's no firm rule on play length, but it shouldn't be too long really. Don't out-do yourself, and make sure it's easily playable.

Each Chapter will have an Artifact to find
-The underlying goal of the game is to gather the Artifacts so you can stop the Evil Dude At The End Cave (Edatec!)
-The Artifacts will be assigned to you, along with your project, and the rest of the Chapter is entirely up to you.

Each turn will take up to 2 weeks
-You will have 2 weeks to plan, map, build, event, and most importantly TEST, your Chapter.
-Make sure you TEST TEST TEST your Chapter, and do not (please and thank you) meddle in any one else's Chapters.
-Each Chapter will be in a drop-down map menu (you probably know how RPGMaker map lists work by now)

The Chain Game will be made in RPG Maker 2003
-This is by popular vote in the other topic. Everyone knows how RM2k3 works, and if not, it is by far one of the easiest to pick up and create with.

Database is opensource.
-Everyone can add to the Database...
-NO ONE CAN DELETE FROM THE DATABASE.
-Keep in mind the database might affect the other Chapters, so you cannot take anything out or change what is already there.
-You can use items from other Chapters if they suit your Chapter... but probably best to leave switches and variables ALONE.

Graphics will be Akropolis
-You may want to fiddle with these chipsets prior to your Chapter turn, just to familiarize yourself with them.
(Just a suggestion)

Music is opensource
-You may add music
-You may NOT delete music
-Please use small file sizes or Midi tracks, that way our game won't inflate to a whale of undownloadable proportions.

Characters are opensource
-Everyone may add ONE character to the main cast per Chapter. With this character you may fiddle with the battle events / enemy groups...
-Do NOT fiddle with previous chapter monsters/battle events... Just add more to be used in your Chapter. This is a little tricky, and we can discuss this as it comes into play.

Switches / Variables are add only
-Like noted above, you can only add new switches or variables. Don't try to re-use other ones...

(more slots to be added as people claim them)
*NOTE! Each slot has 2 weeks exactly to finish the game. It will not be passed on until AFTER 2 weeks is up... then the next person will get it. So only request a timeslot that works for your life. If you are in school, don't claim a slot that happens during exams or tests! Do yourself that favour. :)

Due to the increased number of helpers, this needed to be added!

Nice, Arcan! That'll be great for something in the game, I'm sure. We'll put it to use! :D

gamingw.net has done this several times over the years.

I'll give you 4 guesses where I got the idea.
