Back in July Ben_Random was reading through the RMN forums and something caught his eye. It was the RM2k3 Mapping contest. This was a simple contest where you had to use the select chipset to make a map in 2k3. While looking at this, Ben_Random thought, "People often complain about the RMVX RTP chipset, I wonder what we could do with it if we all tried our hardest."
Thus, the "What can you do with Squares" contest was born. This contest went well (almost 23 participants!), but then ShortStar said, "Would if we compiled these things into a game?" After many messages, ShortStar and Ben_Random decided that they would make two more contests, one for dungeons, and one for towns. These contests are currently in action, and once they are done, select maps will go into a game being compiled by Ben_Random and ShortStar. The purpose of this game is not the gameplay, the purpose is the maps...
Soon, there will be a list of all the maps in the game here. For now, here are links to each of the contests:
ORIGINAL
DUNGEON EDITION
TOWN EDITION

CloseOk! Okie, dokie! Me shall resubmit later! Hmm, what else needs furnature, its just that you can't really do much with the small space and the original RTP. Oh, do you like the names? The book I'm currently reading is called heart of Rhun, a fanfiction on the Lord of the RIngs, well, I need to get back to editing. ^_^

author=Marrend"A long time ago, Marrend founded this marvelous city"That's assuming I do anything with the town version of the mapping contest and it gets into the game. But I do get your general drift.
Side note: I like how my notices for this game are basically only ShortStar and Ben_Random. Nobody else wants to make comments?
Pretty much. The fist contest was pretty big but I don't think these next two are getting much buzz.

Proper credit will be given. I can even make signs with your names saying Marrend made this or that :-)
Since I will putting the game world together, I thought I can have an NPC in every town saying: "A long time ago, Marrend founded this marvelous city". Or if they participated in the old contest I could name the inn/shop after the user who created it. If they made a dungeon I could have an NPC say: "Legend tells that only one other person has gone into that cave. He was a brave adventurer name ShortStar."

Its a contest. Win the contest and you'll get more marketshare :-)
If you're looking for more marketscore, write tutorials, review games :-) You can probably do both just as quickly.
B-but... markerscore is life!
More serious: I don't care about gaining markerscore from this project. If any of my stuffs get used at all, I just want the proper credit given.

Well you better care, because I've decided that makerscore is going to be the currency in this game!
I'm laughing at this comment.

Eh I don't even know what it is. Don't really care either. Some people do it to do it.

So you're going to add people who submit as developers right? So we get our makerscore?
Umm... Well...
You only would be making a couple maps, plus ShortStar and I would be designing the real game play. Anyway, you still get achievements for participating in the game. If anything, I think artist would be a good position.
Summing it up:
If a couple more people say that they want in on the whole "developer" thing, ShortStar and I will talk about it.

Sigh, I want to go back to School, the holidays are boring... But now I have a contest to compete in! I hate dungeons, so I am doing a town!
