The Exquisite Corpse Challenge

author=pianotm
I'm going to vote RPG Maker 2003/2000 for the reason that, number (1), I'm not going to spend 70 bucks on a new engine when I'm already familiar with one and that money can be better spent on my insurance, (2) many potential participants are going to feel the same way, (3), RM2k(3) is cheaper, or easier to get off of warez for free, (4) I don't have Steam, don't trust it (having actually had to clean it out of my computer already due to malignant coding), and therefore am not getting VX on sale any time soon, and (5) just as with reason one, there will be people who agree with four.

As a compromise, I'd be willing to pay the 20 for RMXP.


Sounds good to me and don't worry about spending 20 bucks on XP.

The Exquisite Corpse Challenge

RPG Maker VX tends to be the maker that I've played most of my games on. Granted these have mostly been horror games because I'm a horror buff. As for someone being in charge, I could take up that mantle. I'm kind of doing that already. Also if the game/s are on RPG Maker VX I can play test them and put them under a critical eye. I do the same for stories and books that people write.

Don't want to be rude, it sounds like a cool idea, but I don't see anything to give motivation to the game developers, I mean, the challenge is: drop whatever you wish and see what happen, maybe someone will be willing to do a game out of it, maybe not. It should probably be better if you give a real goal, and it would be really nice if you could give the example and provide resources rather than just keep an eye.


I've always considered the finished product as its own reward. If an award would encourage people to participate, maybe, those that are in charge will turn it into a contest or something. As for examples, here's some links.

Was Steve Jobs known for his scripting abilities?
I thought he was the guy who intercepted a last second pass that led the Seattle Seahawks to the Superbowl. He was that guy with the dreadlocks, right?

And welcome new person with a username that I cannot pronounce! I like putting words into people’s games too.

- Post lots and contribute the best you can here! :)

I plan on it and thanks for welcoming me to the site.

The Exquisite Corpse Challenge

I chose the creative corner for this thread because this challenge is meant to expand everyone’s creativity. The exquisite corpse is a technique of art and writing that has even made its way into film. I have yet to play a game based around this technique. Below are various different ways the technique can be applied.
Drawing Technique
This version works by taking a piece of paper and folding it so that everyone can draw different parts. When my family plays the drawing game, we split up the head, torso and arms, legs and feet. Each person draws their assigned part and then we unfold our monstrosity. Needless to say we have come up with some weird looking creations.
Writing Technique
Each person writes a different scene without showing what their writing to everyone else. We usually use a first person perspective without giving the character involved a name. After everyone is done writing, the scenes are then spliced together, in order to make a story.
RPG Technique
Take the above techniques and apply them to music, sprites, monsters, backgrounds, puzzles, mini-games, etc. Also people might want to write out scenes, letters or what not to add to a sort of story. All of these resources are thrown together to make a game.
The Challenge
Make a game using the resources provided by others who used the exquisite corpse technique to the make said resources. I’m curious as to what all the creative people on this site can come up with. Now start posting your resources, I want to see what game makers can bring together out of this weirdness. I will be on this thread periodically to keep it from dying. I’m also hoping that this thread stays up for about two weeks before I start requesting game designers.

Hello everyone,

I'm not exactly great at the whole making a game thing. In fact, I wouldn't know my way around computer script even if I was possessed by Steve Jobs. I do, on the other hand, write and I’m looking for people to put my words into games.
