RPG Maker 2000 Value! Is now out in English!
What. Holy crap. And here I bought the Japanese version less than a year ago because I thought it would never come out here.
I haven't seen 2000 in years. You guys are really pushing that old school angle. I love it! Great present. I'll have to buy it and 2003 when I get a chance.

So... IGMC 2015
author=Ratty524author=kentonaI was thinking the exact same thing. xD
"look my game has stat growth. twist implemented."
Ditto here. I imagine the judges this year will be hearing that a lot. Poor bastards.
On the plus side though, that twist falls in line well with my favorite idea I came up with when thinking of a project for this year's IGMC. Of course...it's also the most labor intensive idea I had...
So...I'm going to be busy this month! I hope there's enough time to fully implement everything. We'll see. Best of luck to all the developers out there!
Supreme Court strikes down bans on gay marriage in US
About fucking time! Gay people have every right to be as miserable as the rest of us. (I kid, I kid)
Now we all just have to endure all the "slippery slope" arguments from haters for the next few...years.
I'm surprised this happened really. Figured America was a few more years away from such a ruling. Congratulations to all the same-sex couples out there!

How is there not an E3 topic yet? Welp here you go.
FF7 remake. It's a thing.
Silence
Oh cool. That's the Old School Modern RPG pack graphics. Always thought that pack got a bad rap. Interested to see what can be done with them.
RMN Birthday 2015
So I downloaded your game with the harmony.dll file and gave it a shot iddalai. I can't really call myself a fan I'm afraid. But I commend you for making a game that's different like this.
For the most part if you're going to make a game that's more about a message than standard gameplay there are certainly things to do to make it more obvious to help ease players into that transition. Especially for games that aren't "fun" by conventional standards.
Personally, I feel like there were a lot of things you could have done differently.
-If the player is supposed to avoid interactions with "Anonymous" then you could either allow the player to escape or give them a move pattern more complex/predictable/etc than "Move towards player".
-To better communicate the HP & MP loss after leveling you could include a message after battle that says something like "The argument takes its toll on you. HP down." Easy enough to implement since the battles are evented.
-Of course, if the game is not meant to be an RPG then you probably shouldn't include battles and leveling up at all. Gives the wrong impression. Especially since leveling up is bad.

Let RMN Eat Cake
+ The theme and the Street Fighter-esque smack-talk was perfect for me.
+ I've got to say you've captured the more oblivious side to my personality very well with my character. :P
- Not a fan of the machine gun text sounds.
- I was playing on medium, but it was kind of easy overall. I quickly realized that each cake has a set amount of times they can be chewed on, and with minimal practice I was able to score up to 3 combo chains in a match with ease.
+ Overall, it's okay for what it is.
Thanks for the feedback Ratty. I could definitely revisit the idea at a later date to implement more stuff. Different cakes that take different amounts of chomps for instance to keep people on their feet. More characters. Level 3 specials unique to each character. 2 player mode would really help since playing the computer in regular fighting games can be such a drag sometimes. Lots of stuff I could do. But overall not bad for such a short amount of time.

Figured I'd just post this updated link for Let RMN Eat Cake:

All right! Feedback time:
I think I got all the games? Could be wrong.
8hourgam
Short little comedy RPG. A lot of in-jokes in this one. Which makes sense considering the contest and its theme. But it was hard to relate to. No worries though! I liked the unique moves for LockeZ and Craze.
ZiggyOMFGWTFBBQ
Short game with 3 puzzle rooms. That second puzzle was totally misleading good sir. I thought I had to put boulders on the three dials but it turns out crates work too. Should have known as much after how easy the first one was.
Gunfight
Draw-to-shoot game like those old-school ones. These style of graphics get so much hate it's weird. But I don't mind them really. Not too bad. Seems you ran out of time to implement more than 1 gun fight. Shame there but given the time limit understandable. If expanded on this would be pretty cool.
Fight for Dominance
Puzzle/RPG game. Reminded me of Lost Vikings with the character switching. The standard RPG maker battles didn't really do it for me though. I felt they broke up the action. Personally, I think you'd been better off focusing on switching gameplay elements.
RMN Birthday Quiz
Trivia game. I mentioned earlier I got a 18/40 on this. Not bad considering I'm not on this site a lot. It was a fun concept and a good entry. Nice way to celebrate RMN's birthday.
SLICES
Artsy game? Didn't really get it Pizza. Sorry man! Couldn't tell if you were going for funny or artsy. Good aesthetics though!
Curiosity Killed the Cash
Pac-manny collect-a-thon explorer game? Some of those rooms were kind of tough so props for that. Fun time.
Give Ratty Ideas
Visual novel I guess? You pick the genre, theme and a couple other things for a game Ratty wil make. Then it gives a funny little outro telling you how your game was received. Cool idea. I like the faceset used. I should have used that for your character in my game.
Being Yellow Magic
Cutscene game. Never saw the movie this idea was based off of but I liked this. I had forgotten you could actually put movies in an RPG maker game! Liked the concept and its execution were great.
Let's Play Gam Mak
A game about a let's play of games? We're through the looking glass here people. Would have liked all the games to have been like Gauntlet. Where you play and then get janked unexpectedly. Not bad though.
Yunos Realm
Didn't work for me I'm afraid. Sorry.
CVDAtHH
RPG gauntlet-running game. (Like running through a gauntlet. Not like Gauntlet.) I liked this. Very sizable amount of content for 8 hours. All the equipment made for some interesting battles. The minion at the beginning were my favorite.
Lyra
Visual novel/adventure game? Good twist. Hard to tell if there were bugs or if it was intentional considering Lyra's situation. Though this seems like it was made before the contest? Hard to say.
Okiku Star Interviewer
Talking game. You talk to people the developer interviewed it seems. I think I beat it? Just a few people to converse with and that's it. Could be wrong though.
NessyRhymeRMNBirthday
Comedy RPG game. Buggy as hell (escaping crashes the game?) but that battle system is strangely satisfying. I would play the crap out of an RPG with this battle system bug-free. The custom sprites and backgrounds were really good too. Spambots were hilarious.
Castle of Emedress
Standard short RPG. Spikes were glitched? Always had to touch them first before I could run through. First floor is weird since you need to kill all enemies before you can progress anyway. Escaping from battles makes things a cinch. Overall game could be expanded upon to make a worthwhile RPG though.
The RMN Treasure Hunt
Short little RPG. I really liked this! It fit the theme well and was genuinely a sweet game. Made me "aaahhhh" audibly. Well done.
Johnny Falcon Pro Skater 2
2-d skateboarder. Only one playable character but the game seems alright. Couldn't figure out what to do after making to the right side of the screen though. Wall kicking is legit.
Project Birthday
Comedy game. Sliding puzzles were odd. Arrows themselves would have been so much more conveninent. Make it to kentona and warn him of a threat he takes care of himself. Sounds about right. Also, holy file size Batman!
gamemakegame
Couldn't get this to work on my browser. Is it a google chrome thing?
8 Hour Contest
Unknown genre. I played up until the ship was gone and then got an error. Missing audio file "I aim to misbehave". The "punching" dialogue was either intentionally or unintentionally hilarious. Seemed straightforward enough.
CStar Release
A fun and different little puzzle game. I got stuck halfway through though when I pushed a crate the wrong way. Didn't look like there was a reset button sadly. Liked the look and feel of the game though.
RMN Birthday 2015
I just cannot get these RPG2k3 games to work right. Sorry!
RMN Workout
Exercise video. It took me awhile to actually understand what was going on. But yeah, it has chimes and stuff for when you're supposed to do the exercises/poses the lil' character is making. But I wasn't really a fan I'm afraid.
Oceans Dream
RMN dating sim. This was hilarious. Staying awake at work and getting money to win the girl. A lot of fun.
RMNBDAY no RTP
Comedy game. Fun little intro to RMN features and members. Ends when you get enough makerscore and walk to the right. Good for what it is. Enjoyed the sprites and backgrounds.
CazQuest
Short comedy RPG. Save sheep. Kill coworkers and managers. Avoid lava. Heh. Not bad actually. Got a chuckle or two. Props.
Makerscore Slicker
Time-wasting clicking game. Not bad for...what an hour? An on-screen display of current makerscore would have been preferred. Maybe a sound when a new member appears. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect.
