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.

RMN4EVER!

These improvements look great. Now I'm really looking forward to labor day!

What can you do with squares? (Dungeon Edition)

author=Lennon
I'm joining this at the last second, if that's possible. I'll go do up some maps.

EDIT: Er, I might join, actually. Not totally sure if I want to or not.


I wouldn't if I were you. This contest is pretty much a flop.

RM2k3 Accidental Day/Night system

author=Paxni
Okay, so I've been making a game in RM2k3, and it's been going well as far as actually making it, but when I test it, there is a day and night system that I did not make.

What's worse is that day only lasts a minute or so, while night seems to go on forever. Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on?


Is this the only project that the problem occurs in? You may have accidentally installed a version of 2k3 that had a bad day/night script in it. Try finding a different download for 2k3.

What can you do with Squares?

... we should discuss more when there are entries.
errm, excuse me, SHortstar, currently how many entries are there?


Sorry Ichimaru, but the contests were canceled. Two entries just isn't enough. :(

Most loved most hated RM games

Thumbs down to the RMN Bros series. (I have no self esteem)

What can you do with squares? (Dungeon Edition)

With this series, I think there's the idea of "Didn't we just do this?" that is working against you. Indeed, the original event was barely getting it's voting in when this propped up. Also, there's this odd tendency by the userbase in general of wanting some kind of "cooldown" period between events/contests/whatever.

But this is merely my opinion.
that and there is a big event going on right now with a similar deadline.

And there are 2 near-identical events running in parallel.

Just a little bit of developer fatigue here!


True. I think one VX RTP mapping contest was enough (if not more), and asking for three was just to much to expect.

Cancelled... for now

author=Ocean
No one really cares, because of the RTP. Honestly, it's much easier to do a 20x15 screen of something than 3 floors of dungeons. The RTP looks bad either way. We had some really interesting map events/contests in Gaming World back in the day. Some restricted it by tilesets, but we actually had good tiles to work from, and nearly were always relatively small. Not always screenshot size, but not big like this, especially since you are running 2 parallel ones. I think one of the good ones back then was a town map contest, but it was up to them to pick the tileset. We got some nice maps from it from people who wanted to show their tiles and mapping skills. That and they could edit or place tiles as they liked so they can really let their creativity loose. The RMVX RTP is really blocky and unless they want to make a game from it already, then no one is really going to care much to do that much work with a bad RTP.


I agree.
