KIYASU'S PROFILE

I live in Taiwan. So, my life has been almost the same as if the pandemic never existed. There is no "lockdown" for me, and I still don't really know what it is, actually.

Maybe for other Taiwanese it is different, and maybe some places like schools were temporarily shut down last year in March that I'm not aware of, but for me who works from home and tend to easily trust life and do my own thing, I don't keep up with the news, including any to do with the pandemic. My main source of knowing about the pandemic is, for example, if I visit a store and they ask to wear mask suddenly, I hear things in the background radio of a store while shopping, or if someone e-mails me talking about their situation in their countries.

Last year in either November or December, someone e-mailed me asking me whether I live in Taiwan because they just heard on the news that it is the safest country in the world right now in regards to the COVID-19 thing, which I didn't know.

Taiwan did, however, start to require masks for most places since December 1st.

This year the Taipei International Book Exhibition (TiBE) was suddenly cancelled days before the event. I know because I was asked by the head of the Taiwan branch of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) to come attend and exchange business cards, and I signed up for the TiBe career-person passes, and in the end all of that is unused. As far as I know, the TiBE is a very big event, and it was literally cancelled days before... so my regional advisor cancelled her trip to Taipei suddenly and I was not able to meet her.

The mask situation is probably not as strict, at least in places like the FamilyMart convenience store I go to. Like they require it but it's not that serious. It seems more serious in places like Carrefour and government buildings. I'm speaking from my experience, and this might be different from other locals, especially as I "live my own way."

Thank you so much for clarifying and for letting my entry stay in the contest! So grateful and relieved!

Cheers,

Submissions that are in a "pending" state would not be accessible to the public until they get accepted. I'm not 100% sure if Liberty would count such submission for this event? I kinda hope she does!
Even if she doesn't count them, there's still 18 entries submitted, plus however many that are buried in the comments!

I would think she does because the time stamp of the Pending entries remain the same as the submitted date and not the approved date. So, as long as the entries and/or entry submission comments posted here has a time stamp before the deadline, then it should be all right. ^^

Does anyone know whether the Sharing is Caring Achievement applies to everyone who submitted an entry before the deadline? There are only ten people who are rewarded it, and I was wondering whether that is a mistake, especially because there are already eighteen entrants with "properly submitted" entries in the system. Liberty might have to manually give out the Sharing is Caring Achievement to everyone else, including the people who submitted only via the comments here, due to the bug in the submission system.

Best of luck to everyone who entered!

Kind regards,
Kiyasu

Here I will start by sharing some of my RPG Maker community-related works:

Hello, all,

Thank you for your replies!

...this is that you can link to these types of submissions, individually, in a single post. You may want to use the Save Post feature to get to said post quicker. Alternatively, you can create a text file with links to these types of submissions, upload it into your locker, and link to it here.

*Edit: So, for example, we could reference this post as aqautorrent's list-post, and this post as kiaysu's list-post. Does this make more sense?

Media for other game pages can be added to their game pages. Just go to the game page and click on Submit Media (in the same place as Submit Review). When it gets accepted, you can then access it!

All right, I was confused at first but after reading the various replies after mine, it seems to sound like it is OK to submit entries in this comment section? However, it doesn't feel right that on the Participants list above, there is no file next to the entrant's name! So, I would like to double-check with everyone, just in case...

Another thing I want to address is the case of if you are submitting a fan review (for example) of someone else's game that is not uploaded to this Web site. It looks like if the Locker for the text file is not working on the Submission page, then our only choice is to directly post a comment here with the links inside one post.

that can work as well. feel free to submit whichever you're comfortable with, of course, since review also count for the submission. good luck with it!

Thanks, aqua torrent!

Screensaver window plugin just pending page approval. Also have a demo game to show it in use in the normal game field.

Oh wow, that's an interesting submission. Not exactly sure what to say, but good luck with your files!

There is no publishing method for media objects, only games can be published. I have the same problem as the above. (Although it has been uploaded to the locker)

I appreciate the confirmation to what I also experienced. Thanks for mentioning your experience!

Kind regards,
Kiyasu
