If you were given 24 hours to make a game, what would you make?


Inspired by a terrible terrible game released on the NES called Action 52, this (unofficial) event is all about making a bunch of individual small games under a time restriction and combine them into one super catalog of games. Action 52 certainly feels like a bunch of games people made in 24 hours and slapped together, so why not see what we can do?

The goal: Spend ~24 hours on developing and testing a game! Any maker, any genre, anything you want as long as you make it quickly! This is about trying something new or different. Try making a short game, minigames, puzzles, a segment of a game, try a different engine (Check out RMN's engines page for a few ideas), try out scripts, or if you're Chaos, make an uber boss fight!
(It is also a near-perfect method of making a terrible game but that is besides the point! Right?)

-- The Rules --
- Must run on Windows. None of these wacky mythical Mac or Linux games mentioned in the darkest corners of the Internet
- You can only spend ~24 hours on a game. This is strictly code of honor but we will know if you spend too long on your game! (it will probably have more polish than the rest)
- Game must be submitted on Monday February 22nd. On Tuesday (the 23rd) I'll collect all the games, put 'em in the front loader, and make a gamepage. You must include your game title, description, platform, how to run your game (if you use something other than RPG Maker), and a screenshot or I'll do it for you and I don't appreciate having to do extra work for that kind of stuff! Time spent would be handy too out of curiosity's sake but it isn't essential.
- Try to keep your file size down. This is a 24-hour game development event and everybody doesn't need another copy of the Kingdom Hearts OST (or whatever new snazzy game you kids are playing). Huge games will be arbitrarily cut down.
- The 24 hours is implementation and testing, which means you can sit on the john or in the shower thinking of what you want or brainstorming ideas. However when you open *insert your favorite engine here, like RPG Maker* and start making maps and filling up the database then that counts towards the 24-hour limit.

I will try to.

This game page hurts my eyes badly.

Here is what I was working on for this event, by the way:

BELATEDLY
I love how this page is a demonic incarnation of the 90s web design.
There totally needs to be a misao for best gameprofile design.

Hahaha, for anyone who doesn't know how horrible this game is, the above is a link to an AVGN review of the original 52 game.
*blink blink*



Awesome... I'm gonna have a seizure... I haven't had one of those since I played Romancing SaGa Minstrel's Song on PS2...!

I'm sold. ME DOWNLOADY!!!
It seems a lot of people are taking their hands at something Action 52-related. Another website is remaking all 52 games calling it Action 52 OWNZ.

Not many of them are finished, but they are pretty good. Streemerz is oodles of fun :3
Still, I'll need to try this one out too.
Updated the CSS to the best of my abilities for the new RMN update.

Unfortunately, the new html does not accommodate for removal of those ugly white border in the comment area, as far as I can tell.
LEECH
