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:
