2018's Dirge of Doningoth (by SideWinder) had a very cool Seasonal Dungeon, entirely made in RTP.

Here's a save file that jumps you straight to the Seasonal Dungeon in Dirge of Doningoth.
(Just enter the cave and talk to the Elf girl) - But yeah, it's definitely worth checking out, if you're interested in how to create a captivating
game, even if you're still using RTP.

Definitely take a look!

Of course, we like it! You know, you can only see the same thing so many times before you get bored of it. That's all that's going on.

I mean, I've seen a LOT of RTP in my day, and I still never get over a well-mapped piece of RTP ass...ets. ;p

It's when I open a project and see a screen full of green RTP grass with Town1.ogg playing at 100% that I wonder what evil I did in my life to deserve this, but it'd be the same as if I opened a project with a sea of green CT grass and 100% Pokemon theme, so...

I'll never not love rtp games. Even if bad, if they have heart, they'll probably be good for me. Long games are a bit hard to complete though. Visuals are one thing, but the RTP soundtrack of some engines are... I've heard them too many times.

From time to time. Not a 25 hours long epic, tho

w-welp

Is this a personal attack on kentona?

In my experience, yeah. If you're using it well, it should get some attention. RTP is pretty nostalgic for a lot of folks.

Though obviously it depends on the game. I wouldn't really recommend making a horror game with stock VX Ace assets (unless you were trying to do something ironic, like Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared, or The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing).

Ooooh, a haunted RTP project game that is actively messing with its maker would be such a cool idea XDXD

Yes.

Any game (RTP or not) needs decent mapping, story, gameplay and must shine in one of these fields. Humor or novelty can also be the shining element of a game.
