BEN_RANDOM'S PROFILE

I'm Ben_Random. I've been around since 2008 but I didn't really get active here since Super RMN Bros. 2. That, an unfinished game, and a couple of contests sums up what I've done with game making on this site. I find that my main purpose here is writing. I have a few tutorials out there, as well as some reviews on Mario fan games such as RMN Bros. or Mario V.S. the Moon Base.

Now with the internet the way it is these days, you can probably use just this information to stalk me.

Super Puzzle World Review

author=calunio
This review is extremely lacking in content, and that's possible the worst and most unnecessarily offensive review title ever.

You have all these colored subtitles, but you don't actually say anything about the game that is not obvious to people who already know Mario games.


I'll change the title and add some more description.
I'm new to this review thing, so all feedback is greatly appreciated. I want my reviews to be as helpful as possible. And sorry for the rude title Desmo.

What can you do with squares? (VX RTP Mapping Contest)

However, if you add events, then taking screenshot of the full map would be impossible, considering you would have to take the screenshot while test-playing the game. Right?
True, but you could always "stitch" the screenshots together using an image editing program.
EDIT: Or you could just change the size of the maps to the default 17x13 and allow events.


So, I've taken Scourge's point in mind, but I also feel that 17x30 is somewhat small. So I have changed the rules for people who can't afford photo-shop, haven't discovered gimp, or just don't want to "stitch" their screenshots.
The rules have been changed so that you can make a 17x13 or 20x16 map.

It works as a title for your game, or for one of the characters in it. Whichever you wanted in the first place.


I see you logic max. This is amazing!

Super RMN Bros. Review

"to short, to long, to hard, or to easy."
Proof that RMN needs a review editor.
Sorry for the crappy job on this review. I'll try to be more descriptive on my next one.

-The map must not have any events
Does this include doors or the events used to make a waterfall?

I read this post and changed my mind about the no events rule.
Feel free to use events, but you can only use the RTP ones.

Edit:

Well, THIS IS NOT MY CONTEST SUBMISSION! I spent 5 minutes on this, I just want to know if I could make something like this:

It's a Hobo's cave...


Something like it. Try to make it more of a livable cave. For all I know, it could be just a random cave. Make sure we know someone lives or has lived there.

What type of map are you making?

People often accurately complain about the RPGVX Run Time Package Chipset.
I wonder what we could do with it if we all tried our hardest.



Theme
The theme of this contest is to make an inn, shop, pub, or house of some sort. This does not necessarily mean the map must be an indoor map. Be creative, maybe you can have a hobo's homestead outside!

Description
This contest will run similarly to the 2k3 Mapping Contest. Make a map within the rules, submit it, and win!

Rules
-The map must be created in RPG Maker VX.
-The map must be 20x16 or 17x13 tiles.
-One submission per person.
-You may only use the A-E tileset that come's with the RPGVX Run Time Package.
NOTE: This means the DEFAULT RTP, not the Samuri package.
-You may use parallax backgrounds, but only the defaults.

Super RMN Bros. Review

I wish I could review Super RMN Bros. 2, but I can't because I'm a developer.

Reviewing SMBX Games

I've recently been reviewing SMBX games. I have so far reviewed Mario Vs. the Moon Base, Super RMN Bros., Super Desmo Bros., and Super Puzzle World.

Want me to review your SMBX game? (or any SMBX game for that matter)
If you do, post here and I'll take a look. No promises though. I can't guarantee that I will review it.

My que is empty, considering the only game in it is not yet released.
