The last eventing duel was so much fun! We are going to do this again! When? Well, right now!!!
The last event was rather simple, yet we got many different entrees. And I loved it! Lets see what happens when I make the challenge a little harder...
Here are the rules:
- No plugins!
- No script calls*
- Must be made in RPG maker MV or MZ
- Must only contain RTP (character generator allowed, but no edits)
The Challenge
Make an in-game time system. Make it yourself, do not just copy it over from a tutorial.
The time system has to include the following:
- Keep track of in-game time.
- Keep track of in-game morning, afternoon, evening and night time.
- Optional: Keep track of in-game date and seasons
Also include sample events that:
- serves breakfast from 6am till 8am, lunch from noon till 2pm and dinner drom 6pm till 8pm
- let the player skip time up to 24 hours per skip, either trough sleeping or otherwise
- represent monsters that only spawn between 8pm and 6am (night time)
- represent NPC's that only spawn between 8am and 6 pm (day time)
Finally include at least 2 maps, of which one is inside and the other is outside:
- The inside map will only slightly or not at all be affected by daylight
- The outside map has 4 states of lightning:
→ 1. Night time, 8pm till 6am
→ 2. Sunrise, 6am till 8am
→ 3. Daytime, 8am till 6pm
→ 4. Sunset, 6pm till 8pm
Optional extra:
Include a weather seasonal system:
- Random rain storms in Autumn,
- Random snow in winter,
- Fairies & Flowers in spring,
- Only sunny days in summer.
The challenge is free to interpretations, specially the optional parts. Make the system your own.
The rules are NOT free to interpretations and need to be followed.
How to compete
Make a small demo with your project, containing all above
Share your raw project in a zip-file with a public download link
You can use services like dropbox, google drive etc to share your project
Remove all unused assets to keep the file size as small as possible
You have to share your raw project, so do not deploy.
Everyone should be able to see how you did it the challenge.
IMPORTANT: When you apply your demo, you must be okay with others learning from your demo.
This means your system will be used by other developers.
Applying can be done till the last day of March. Then we vote for the best eventer.
What to win?
Winners will be pinned on top of the wall of fame!
Nothing else is to be gained from this.
Good luck!!!

With no editing and no 3rd party graphics, we all have the same tools to work with. This is an eventing challenge, not an art challenge. I do not want artists to gain votes for their arts, while the votes should go to the best events.
The script command is banned:
But using javascript in formula's by using "Control Variable" and "Conditional Branch" is allowed, only to calculate.
Those are the only exception on the "no script calls" rule.
