LIBERTY'S PROFILE

I enjoy playing and creating games (mostly RPGs) and have a love of story and characterisation above graphics. I've been into RM* since '96 and have used all makers - started on the PSX makers, found and used a patched version of the SNES RM, then moved to RM95. When I found RM2K I finally decided to join some forums and I've been a part of the community ever since.

RMNLYMPICS 2 Share Topic

Oh, hey. Remember this? Yes, you do.

Please use this topic to get some closure on the event, to show off the amazing work you guys all did and to give each other a good old slap on the back for a great job.



Explanation
I run a lot of events around the site and yes, I make a few mistakes or take some time to get to things. I freely admit that I am human and can fuck up from time to time.

RMNlympics event was my baby and I was proud of it. The first time it ran we didn't think it would get any traction. Some people were wondering if it would work and were scepticle about it. I pushed forward and it worked. It got a lot of people joining in and it was a lot of fun.

The second iteration of the event didn't work out so well. Not only did some people not follow the rules properly, causing more work for me, but we didn't get near enough people joining in, sending in and taking part in the event. This is the kind of event where more is better.

One of the issues, I think, was that there was a longer time period given for the second event. The first took place over a weekend. The second, people pushed for a longer time. I didn't think it would work. I didn't want it to be longer, but I acceeded to people saying it would be better and it turned out, well, it wasn't better.

The teams ended up being very unbalanced, with some people not putting in anything and others putting in a lot. Add to that that my life was kinda hectic and I was going through a bout of depression around the time so I kept trying to force myself to spend any time I had free to do this thing that had become less of a fun event and more of a stressful requirement.

People hadn't sorted their entries. Had put things all into one game project so that I needed to pull the different pieces apart to make up the entries and by the time someone suggested "just get them to do it" it was far too late.

I'm stubborn. I'll keep on and on at something until it burns me out. I don't let things go and sometimes it makes me good at stuff I do. Sometimes it makes me bad at it. In this case I wasn't willing to let go of the event, and kept pushing myself up against a wall where I wasn't getting anywhere and people kept throwing reminders at me about it. It seemed at some points that the moment I could relax and not stress over it, someone would pull it back up and shove it in my face.

So I cancelled the event. I realised I wasn't going to get anywhere with it, a year had passed already and I was just burned out. I told people they could put their stuff on the site, that it was over, that I was sorry.

And people still bring it up. I know it's a memey, jokey way but it hits into my heart because I did fail, and it was my event and it feels horrible every time someone jokingly says "lol RMNlympics when?" because it puts me back in that period of not being able to deal with the stress and everything that was going on at the time.


So... this is my apology for not being able to get it done and hopefully with you guys sharing the amazing things you made for the event, there will finally be closure - for the community and for me.

Sorry for failing.

Thank you for being the amazing community you are.

Merry Christmas RMN!




Have a great day, all! <3

Firstly, blame Discord for this. Secondly, blame kentona for this too. ;p

Track 1: Santa Baby by Liberty

Santa baby, slip a game under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, some makerscore for your baby too, ohh ooh

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the pages that I haven't dissed
Next year I could be also good
If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want a frontpage spot and that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey one thing I really do need, the deed
To rpgmaker.net
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, and fill my mailbox with media and reveiws
I need those five stars
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With misao nominations aplenty
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a feature
I don't mean on the side
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight

Santa Baby

[GUESSING GAME] Secret Santa Sign-ups 2018




It's that time of year again, folks! Time to get your share on~

What is this?
Why, it's Secret Santa, of course!

OH MY GOD! WHAT IS SECRET SANTA?!
It's a simple thing, really. Throw your name in the hat and get one in return. You are that person's Secret Santa and must keep the name secret from anyone! Then, before the due date below, you get them a present. On Christmas Eve, you will receive a gift from your own Secret Santa and happy fun times are had by all~

What counts as a present?
We usually like to keep it site-centric so stuff like reviews/media for games, short games that cater to that person's tastes, something for their game (resources/scripts/etc), something you think they'd like... that kind of thing. If you have a hard time coming up with ideas, you can ask me as an intermediary to ask them what they'd like.

If you have another idea for a gift, PM me and I'll let you know if it's fine.

So, how do you get in on this action?
Easy! Just give a holler in a comment below before the cut-off date. Simple, eh?

Rules are as follows:
- First rule of Secret Santa club. Don't talk about Secret Santa club.
- Second rule of Secret Santa club. See rule #1.
- Sign up below by leaving a comment that lets me know you're joining in.
- The cut-off date for joining is the 9th of December.
- You will have until the 22nd of December to send me via PM the gift for your Secret Santa.
- I will be posting who had whom in this thread on the 26th so don't go spilling the beans before then!
- If you suddenly need to drop out, PM me ASAP and I'll do some rearrangements. It would be preferable that you don't drop out, though.
- While it is not a requirement to have a game in order to join, it makes things a lot easier on your Secret Santa if you do. In the case that you do not have a game, put some thought into what kinds of things you like so that when asked I can give your Secret Santa a list that they can play off.
- Please make sure your gift is of a decent quality. Put some thought and/or effort into the gift.
- Please do not include illegal or pirated items in your gift. Especially pirated games. I didn't think it needed to be said, but apparently it does.


How to submit
- For video submissions, use a free-hosting video site. There's plenty out there.
- Send me the link via PM before the due date.
- For reviews and artsy stuffs, send me the text/image/etc via PM before the due date.
- Do not add your reviews, arts or videos to the site until I say so in this topic.

[Event] RMN Mascot

It's come to my attention that everything is being gijinka'd - from Earth, to washing detergent, to Internet Explorer. So why not RMN?

Gijinka - an anthromorphic representation of a thing, usually taking the form of a cute or badass character design that represents said thing in various ways. Usually using colours, shapes and designs already inherent in the design of the thing. It's Japanese, of course, because of course it is.

So, let's have some fun!

Everyone who takes part in designing a gijinka/mascot of the site using the official colours and various design pieces to represent what RMN would look like if anthromorphised will get a badge. Then we hold a poll to see which design is the most cutest/awesomest/neatoburritoest and the winner of the poll will get another badge on top of the participation badge!

You don't need to be a great artist to take part, and pixels, sketches, paintings, drawings, etc are all welcome!

To join in post your version of RMN in this thread! Remember to keep it rule-appropriate!

Also, a handy little cheat sheet of the main site colours and some design aspects.



FAQ
Dimensions of images?
800x800 should be more than big enough for when you submit to the page, but any sized canvas is fine for drawing on. Just make sure to shrink it down to at least 800x800 when submitting a visual image to the page. You can, of course, throw links to larger images for the use of promotional purposes, just make sure one of those images is 800x800 in size. >.<)b

Examples?
Here's some links to other site gijinka to give you an idea of what is meant by the term. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5

Date end?
10th October. That gives about 3 weeks to play with. Can't rush art and all that jazz~

Styles?
The image can be any style. All that matters is that it reflects and embodies the site. Like, you can look at it and go "Yes, that looks like RMN would as a character!"

[Poll] Spoopy Skeletons and Wicked Witches

Every year we run a month-long game making event for Halloween. This year is no different, however this time we're giving you guys a choice in what event we end up running. So vote on what you'd most like to see ran for this Halloween!

Fractured Fairy Tales
Retell old fairy tales and add a horror twist. Whether it be Hansel and Gretel being demons who vandalise a poor old lady's house or Little Red Riding Hoodlum stalking an innocent wolf through a city-scape forest, taking something and messing with the pieces to make something new is definitely a tried and true way of creating interesting works.

Dark Indulgence
Make a game with a dark theme. Your choice what you make as long as it is thematically dark in nature.

Meat Puzzle Madness
Collaboratively create a puzzle game with horror twist. An escape-based puzzle event where you make horror themed puzzles (a la Saw) which get stitched together at the end of the game to make a cohesive whole. You'd get 3 weeks to work on the game and 1 week for it to be put together, hopefully in time for Halloween.

They Walk Among Us
There's a lot of things that go bump in the night - real horrors that others have witnessed. True stories to make your skin crawl. Taking inspiration from actual true stories, make a horror game!

Blacktober
Red, White and Black. Three colours that work quite well together, creating a stark contrast to each other. Create a game using a palette of only monochrome colours and reds.

Little Nightmares
Gather together bad dreams that members have had in the past. Then everyone picks one of the dreams from the list made and uses it as inspiration to create a spooky game.

Revive the Dead, Beaten Horse
Bringing dead games back to unlife. Pick a game you stopped working on at some point and try to finish it over the course of the month. Zombify them gams!

RMN dreams of RMN

Ever dream about the site or people there-on? Share your dreams of RMN with RMN!


I'll start:
I had a dream where I was at a wedding. I didn't know the two people getting married at all, nor anyone at the wedding. Then LockeZ turned up and demanded we play DnD. He pulled out piles of dice and told me I had to pick one. I just grabbed one and rolled it and got a natural 1. Then I woke up.

>.<;

Another one I had included a bunch of people from RMN just turning up at my house at random and asking to stay for a while. That was all good and fine. I was showing them around a hill in the area but they kept getting lost so I kept having to run around and grab them and drag them back to the car we were in and shove them in. Think 20 clowns in a car. A few times I had to chase some of them when they slipped and started rolling down the hill in the middle of the road. >.<;

I can't remember everyone who was in the dream but I do remember there being Kloe, kentona, LockeZ, Craze, NeverSilent, Unity, Red Nova and maybe Ozzy? It was weird - a lot of the time my mind was just lumping everyone together as 'people from RMN' instead of specific names. Really weird dream.


But yeah. Ever dreamt a little dream of your fellow RMNites? Share~

Tabletop RPG Stories

Some of us play Pathfinder, DnD and the other iterations of 'roll dice, do shit' games. Let's share stories!

ITCH.IO SCANDAL :: CHECK YOUR NAMES AND GAMES!

So a concerned member PM'd me earlier today to warn of some games that might have been stolen from the site. I looked into it and found something very concerning.


Images, names and details of games from RMN have been added to itch.io, either under the original developers' name or another members' name. These profiles have downloads added that have malware in the form of bitcoin miners and other viruses.

This means that someone is using our site and the content there-on, as well as the names of our members, to spread virus-laden projects.

Leafo, the owner of itch.io, is looking into the issue, but he's currently helpless to figure out which are real and which are fake. Thus, we are asking for your help to deal with this.


What can you do?

Search on itch.io for your username and game names.

Any hits that you didn't put up yourself (or give permission to put up to others), report. Put something along the lines of "This was stolen from RMN and is my game and may possibly have malware."



Leafo and his crew will be on the look-out for any reports about these stolen games.


Help us protect you, and each other! If you notice someone else's game/s or name/s on there without appropriate details, post either here or to them via PM so that we can check this out. Quite a few people have already reported stolen content (including myself), so keep an eye out!
