A Rainbow of Posi2vity

Hi, Happy Pride Month! I have a question.

If I use the basic rainbow palette (top left in those six choices) does that mean whenever I make use of one of the seven colors when making assets I have to use exactly that hue/saturation?

Can we have, for example, seven maps each using just (mostly) shades of red, then orange, yellow, and so on? So basically we're still keeping the rainbow palette in mind, just on a larger scale. I plan to do the same for the characters too if it's allowed.

Rules = 5 playable maps in the game.

Rules = Any engine.

Someone = Makes a text based game with no images whatsoever.


This was almost me but I decided to just not submit. I couldn't make assets and gammak at the same time, sadly.

Congrats to everyone who finished and happy birthday to RMN!

Hello, recently I stream this game on y*utube and found a lot of issues:
1. Worker wage is too much, and it keeps getting increased each season
2. I don't have time and money to increase my skill level and tavern level (building maintenance, advertisement, etc)
3. I only managed to play until summer (second season) and after Austin join, my reputation decreasing instead of increasing for unknown reason. I fixed broken stuff and serve each customer correctly but everything I did decrease my rep.
4. The goal for each season is too high imo.

Thank you and sorry for my bad English.


Hi! Thanks for playing the game! I have a few tips that might help you with your issues.

A lot of times, it is better to take a big risk and get upgrades like Furnishing or Advertisement as soon as possible. The Fireplace and better menu items also affect income quite a lot, which may help you get enough money to quickly buy the upgrades. I recommend getting one of the upgrades by Week 3 of Spring.

In some seasons like Summer, the negative reputation you get will be a lot higher. This means you will always lose reputation unless you have bought the Repairs upgrade or have a high level in Maintenance. I recommend getting characters to level 4 or 5 in at least one main skill as fast as you can.

In general, the key to winning the game is timing when you need to train or upgrade to get the maximum profit during the Business Phase. Most things that increase income (like upgrades, menu items, skill levels) multiply the income greatly and you get a lot more even if the cost to do so might be higher. In fact, the reason why we made the wage and goal gradually increase is because, if done correctly, players can gain way too much money too quickly. Spring and Summer are the most difficult segments of the game and if you manage to get past them you'd probably be reaching the seasonal goal long before the season is over.

I'm really sorry if the game has been difficult to complete. It was hard for us to balance it just right and in the end we made it the way that it is rather than have it be too easy.

Design monsters for our turn based RPG

I think you're probably fine, I was just worried because I don't wanna get banned.

To be honest I usually do commissions for illustrations, not game development, so I'd love to discuss more privately with you and ask questions about the game! I don't mind using direct messages here if it's convenient for you, but I have some other platforms too like Twitter for faster messaging.

Design monsters for our turn based RPG

Are you talking about designing monsters for use during battle? That sounds interesting! I've done battle portraits and busts but I'm not very good with character sprites and pixel art. Here are some examples which may be similar to what you need, from some games I've made art for.

By the way, I'm pretty sure RMN doesn't allow sexual content. I'm assuming you're developing the game off-site?

I shall be streaming the games that we did get tomorrow.

Sad that we only got two but that just means people have more chances to pull something off on the 'finishing seasons' event next year.


It's probably going to be a short stream but I look forward to it! I played Caterpillar, it's great but super short. MFSMSFOMG is about one hour.

Good job, pianotm, CrazyBabi and Marmalade. I won't let you guys go into battle by yourselves next year ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ


Let's hope for more submissions. There's no way we'll just have two again... right?

It's just RNG, trust me.
