Why is there a no RTP rule?
Seconded.

You expect us to make a game in a month with completely custom graphics and audio? Absurd!
"No RTP" and "completely custom graphics" are two extremely different things.

Correct, but what I believe they are saying is that they don't want rips or don't want to create their own graphics or something, so basically, by "completely custom graphics", they are telling me that they don't want anything to do with other people's graphics, their own graphics, or other game's graphics while their time is limited. So yeah, the rule may have to be changed...

Why is there a no RTP rule?

Well, I was just thinking that because, well unless you're amish, that you wouldn't need those! Really, do you live in medieval times? I will get rid of that rule, and I need more people to sign up, so if I promise to get rid of the rule, would you join?

Wanted: writers, designers and artists to create RPG

Until more info. is sent out, so I can truly decide, I would like to be on this team please.

I'm thinking of making my own game.....

first off, show us the sprites.

Game Journal-Christmas Edition



This is a winter holiday contest, so be joyful! HO HO HO!

WHAT IS THIS?
GaJoChriEd is a game making contest where you make games based on your life, you can make it as interesting as you want, as exact, as exagerated, whatever you want that will make it fit your life in your eyes AND make the game interesting! This is meant to be fun, and I will make an example project, but, what I want is for you guys to make your own lives into a game. Each holiday from now on, I will make a new journal competition for each holiday, and you don't have to do just one holiday for each, like for this month, you don't have to just do Christmas, especially if you are spanish/not christian. I hope you have fun, and here are some rules and guidelines, and I will edit for each time to show who is in this competition, so "sign up" if you want, and if you have any questions, then ask! O.K.?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENERAL GUIDELINES
-You have more than a month to submit your entries
-Must be winter holiday themed
-You have no limits other than to be at least slightly realistic, besides, you don't want people to think you are insane or crazy, it's your journal/diary made into a game, if you make it where you are killing your friends when in real life it was just a mere argument, then where will you be?
-You can use any program or any resources for your game, but if you want yours to be more realistic, you may not want Super Mario Bros. X(especially since it doesn't work on my computer), and seeing how VX and XP games are the only XP and VX things that will work on my computer, be careful with those if you are using them

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROJECT RULES
-Must be done by the end of December, and if not, I will extend it to the end of Winter, and you can do more holidays then, otherwise, no!
-Must be a true game, and if your life is just sitting on your computer, eating potato chips all day, make THAT into a game, and if you have no life...then...what the hell are you doing here?
-You must make sure your game won't crash, or have any glitches that will ruin my game, sure the occasional harmless glitch is funny, but no...NO HARMFUL GLITCHES!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SUBMISSIONS
-Name your gamepage by the number I give you, and the name of the game, your game name can be anything you want, but unlike your gamepage, your project name should be your name/the competition name/game name
-send it to me in PM, after making a game page
-follow all rules and guidelines or your game will either barely make it to the top five, or be disqualified

FAQ
Q:Why is there a no RTP rule?

A:It was meant so no one tried to be "lazy" in the sense that they are not doing everything they can to make the game, though, in my example, I wasn't going to use custom graphics other than recolors and generated graphics...but another reason was that people, unless they are amish, then why do they have a computer, live in a modern day, technology is more advanced then before, so since the RTP was of medieval time, I tried to take out that rule to make more sense...
Q:What does the gameplay have to consist of?
A:If you want to know, it's got to be like a journal, but with an overhead view, to where you can play the character(you) in a RPG way, your next question though:
Q:Or is it just like a graphical novel telling a story?
A:Well, it would be more prefered, because it would be more like a journal, but like I said, it can be anything you want, but keep it at least slightly realistic so people who take this literally don't think you're insane.
Q:What about a game idea who's inspiration is based on a real-life event?
A:"GAME JOURNAL"...that was an easy answer.
Q:Does that count for anything, even though it might not even remotely holiday-themed?
A:You know, I was meaning for this to be a fun Christmas activity to do, and really, I was thinking of doing more for every month that contains a holiday that I would celebrate, and I could see the experiences that other people have with their holidays. But if you feel like it, I just may allow it...
Q:Supposing an affirmative answer, even if I could work with the RTP, would I be able to to complete what I'm thinking about in three weeks time? Hrmm...
A:Well, if you were to treat your game like an actual journal, edit it every day that something you think is interesting that goes on in your holiday, and with the extra amount of time I said that I would give if you weren't finished by the end of December, yeah, you should be able to finish, especially if I allowed RTP, and because of the 'complaints' I've been getting about no RTP, and yes, I know you aren't complaining, I just don't know any other word, I guess constructive criticism(?), I will aloow RTP.

Lost Dimension: 30 DaysI've been making unfinished 2 player games for ages, there are many projects that I threw away because they were incomplete and I couldn't be bothered to progress them
my best game I think was the one where the main character was an Eskimo, you had 30 days to play this game, its like the game has its own countdown, and everyday that passes you must complete a task, or something bad happens. Really awesome, I remember the crystal cave that I made, was one of my best maps at the time :)
Why did you quit it? Lost the file? Didn't have enough experience with the program? In fact, what program did you use for it?

Release Something 11

do not ever install FPS creator, for the love of god and all that is holy. I made that mistake once...once.
What happened?

Sideview: Turnbased or ATB?

I love ATB, because really, turn based, it's just you, select what your player does, then it goes onto playing, and sometimes it takes so much pp and takes so long, that it ends up being a button spamming time.
Sure those problems are in ATB too, but it looks way better, and it allows a strategy to form, where, instead of strategy based off of spells, attacks, and gaurding, ATB uses all that plus characters, EX.:

Turn-Based player:"Well, I have this fire spell, and we are up against an ice monster, I guess I'll use that and just attack normally with my ice mage!"
ATB player:"Well, my ice mage is going up first, and all the spells she has, plus anything she will do other than gaurding and row, will heal ice type beings...but I don't want her to gaurd because she has incredibly low defense, and has low hp, meaning evem while gaurding she'll die! Maybe I'll use her turn by pressing the row button and switching the characters out. then I can attack the monster with fire!"

Sure it doesn't give you enough time for strategy, but at least it will allow you to make a better strategy than a turn-based battle does with the turn-based restrictions!
