Happy Holidays! (12 hours of Christmas event)

[amerk]

When I was about 12 or 13 years old, I remember the NES game called Crystalis. Me and my brother played that game religiously, but we never seemed to have enough time to get very far between school and other activities. I remember one day it snowed pretty heavily, and school was cancelled. We woke up early in the morning (5 or 6 am, I think) and played it non-stop throughout the whole day, using our copies of Nintendo Power to get through some of the harder-to-guess areas, and we ended up beating the game that weekend. Not only was it one of the best action rpg games of the NES, but it was quite a bonding moment for me and my brother, and we were both ecstatic over finishing the game. It was also the first game we played to portray people dying, and that in itself was sort of an iconic moment for us. Now it's quite common to see death and profanity in a game, but back then... not so much.

There is so much talent here, it's really hard to pinpoint the top three. However, if I had to choose, it would be a toss up between DS+ Pack, the Zombie Survival Graphic Pack, and Tyler Warren's RPG Battlers. Some amazing talent went into producing these packs.

I would like to take a moment to thank everybody on this site (both staff and members alike). Without this site and the support of Degica, RPG Maker would probably still be stuck in the ways of one-off community sites and hobbyist appeal. This site has forced some of the other communities to also step up their game in friendly competition, and that has made RPG Maker products stand out much more in a versatile crowd. We'd still be limited to download copies, Steam would likely not be on anybody's minds, and we wouldn't have the store we have now where quality-made resources could be purchased. While I'm only a hobbyist myself, RM is like a puzzle for me, where each new purchase completes my collection and allows me to delve further into the world of game making. And who knows? Maybe one day I can step out of the realm of being a hobbyist, and become something more. At the very least, it allows me to play tons of free games I would have never imagined possible.

So again, thanks to everybody for making both the product and this site a success.

Congrats Kumori and Josh!! =)


1) Honestly my favorite memories of the holidays is my daughter. Just last night we went to a little local light show. They had a forest full of lights (different sections were sponsered by various local companies) and it was dazzling. My daughter will be 3 at the end of next month and this is the first year she knews who santa is. There were santa's everywhere and people dressed up as teddy bears, cows, raindeer, etc. She got her first photo with Santa (of course me and her dad had to get in the shot too because she's not very big on strangers). They also had this little train running through the grounds and everyone would stop and wave at the train as it went by and she really loved this. So we found the train and waited in line to ride it and that was the best sight. It went by this HUGE candy cane dragon and through a cave that changed colors and had elves mining in it. I turned around to see her in her father's arms with one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen. =)


I don't expect to win this year (as I was one of the winners last year) and that is also one of my favorite memories because.. I had never won anything before!!


2) RPG Maker VX (not ace), Samurai Pack, Celianna's Farm tiles (if this is an option)


3) A special thanks to all the staff members who devote countless hours out of their life to help make the forums a better place for all of us (I know it's not always easy). Thanks to all the talented folks who make resources for the artistically challeged like myself, the scripts who I've learned lots from and the musicians who bring the games to life =) Thank you to the Members+ who help to make these events possible. Thanks to GrandmaDeb who makes the best lists of... everything And many other members that make this forum a great community.

1) What's your favorite winter holiday memory?

A) My favorite winter holiday memory would have to be back quite a few years ago when my cousin and I were both only about 10 or 12 years old. My cousin is the type of person to just do whatever he wants to do regardless of how it might make others feel. We also had the type of family where the aunts and uncles didn't care about us kids so they just gave clothes to us because they didn't know anything else about our likes or dislikes. So this one year my cousin, brother and I are going through our presents, sitting there patiently while our parents divvy out the presents to who they belong to, and my uncle James(my cousins dad) says to my cousin, "Hey here son, this one is from your Uncle Doug and Aunt Becky.", and slides the box over to him. Well we all knew what was in the box and so did he, so without even opening it he just picks the box up and tosses it into the trash pile. It was so rude and disrespectful but being a child it was hilarious at the same time.

Then later that night we all went out to dinner at a restaurant I can't remember the name of anymore, I think it was CoCos. While we were all sitting at our table waiting for our food to come, my cousin and I happen to notice a big fat guy walk in with a big white bushy beard, a red t-shirt with jeans and my cousins sarcastically getting all exciting going, "Oh my god oh my god it's Santa!" and before my uncle could even tell my cousin to not even think about it, he runs over there and sits on his lap and starts telling him what he wants for next years Christmas.

Once that is all said and done and we eat our food and get ready to leave, my cousin orders a doggy bag, faking like he wants to take his food home. So the waitress brought him a decently sized brown paper bag, and my cousin immediately started making eye holes in it. After he fixed the bag up, he grabbed the janitors mop that was sitting in the bucket a couple booths away, put the bag on his head and started riding the mop around the restaurant and in the parking lot saying, "I ho Silver, AWAAAAAAAAY!". My uncle was thoroughly embarrassed by his antics, but my grandfather and I thought it was hilarious.

2) Your wishlist - 3 products you would love to win

A) Remastered RMXP OST

     Inspirational Vol. 1

     Inspirational Vol. 2

So basically all music packs. I have most of the graphic ones out right now.

3) A thank-you to our staff, resource contributors and/or Member+ folks (who have generously shared their monthly exclusive resource release with everyone).

Thanks to those of you who contribute graphics into the monthly resource releases so that no-talent people like myself can have fresh new goodies to play with. Thank you to Indrah, the master of RTP mapping who constantly shows us how it's done. Thank you to Archeia for being so active in the community when compared to the other people of her same title. And lastly, thank you TouchFuzzy, for no other reason than simply because your name is Touch Fuzzy.

Oh and thank you to Celianna, who keeps the forums a clean, respectable place to visit. Thanks also to Lunarea for always hosting these type of events! Events on forums are rare, and make it feel more like a community than just a collection of people posting things.

My favorite holiday memory would have to be just a couple of years ago, when I found out that a distant friend of mine and his son were not doing so well financially and were battling a cold winter...   ...it just so happened I was doing well at the time.  I loaded my van with presents (including new blankets), food, and enough firewood to get them for a couple of months and showed up by surprise Christmas morning..  They were so happy and it made me feel so good.  It reminded me of what the holidays are all about.

Much love to rpgmakerweb for hosting such wonderful products and offering immense support to designers everywhere.

My wishlist:

1.)  I.G. Maker. - All of my energy so far is going into Ace, but this I.G. maker has me most curious.

2.) RPG Maker XP Soundtrack Remastered.

3.) High Fantasy Main Party Pack 2

There really is no way to thank you all enough for everything, the resources, the support, the awesome website and the community it has helped to create.  You are most loved, everyone here at rpgmakerweb.com (and affiliate sites like Steam and rmn)...   Special Thank You to:

And all others who make this experience possible.  It has been a legacy of mine to create an RPG since I was a child.  Not only will this now become a reality...  but once it is finished, I plan on showing it off here first.

Thank you also site adminstrators, and member +s.  Much love also to Enterbrain, and Degica.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL  !!!!!!

I'm counting everyone in each draw, so you haven't missed a chance if you've posted early.

Please avoid following the topic. It will end up e-mailing you every time someone posts -- which could end up being hundreds of e-mails, not to mention an overload on our system. You don't need to be notified of new posts, as most of them will be just entries. Winners are announced in the second post in the thread once every hour.

 

[Vexed]

Congratulations to all the winners so far!

And a huge thanks and well done to all the contributors, artists, musicians, mods, admin and members who make this site a fantastic place to be. I've loved being a part of the Member + resource team for the last few months and I always look forward to the fantastic creations from other members of the team. It's been a pleasure and I hope to be a part of it for a long time to come! Happy holidays everyone! =]

And a special thanks to Lunarea who seems to work non-stop creating, organizing, wrangling and generally bending over backwards to bring awesome resources to Members+ every month! You're awesome and I hope one day to learn the secret of how you do it all.

As a quick side-note, I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but I'm having an issue trying to download the attached files in the first post. I keep being told I don't have permission. D=

Question 2: Can I upload gifts to mediafire for people having problems downloading from site? (VexedEnigma 1st encountered, others may), or, you can yourself if you want upload it, or I upload it and you put it on first post.

My best holiday memory would have to be when I was 6 or 7 (I don't remember which, my childhood days are foggy at best). My mother was sick and was in the hospital, and our grandmother was watching us. We weren't the best kids in the world (I have two brothers), but I think we were all worried about our mother. That Christmas we got a Nintendo 64. To say we were happy was an understatement. We were still worried about our mother, but for a bit, we were enjoying ourselves.

As for things I want, I managed to buy up everything that I truly wanted, but I would like a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace for a friend of mine. I suppose I would like also the Inspirational music packs, vols 1 and 2.

I don't know how much it means coming from me, but thanks to everyone who made this software possible, and everyone who has made content for this game. I'm sure it's a labor of love, and I'm loving that you do it. You guys rock!

 

[Siilentmelody]

1.) FAvorite memory would have to be the first time I saw snow. I balled it up and threw it at my Mom. Snow is rare in Louisiana only like 0.01% drop chance XD.

2.) RPG Maker VX ACE Full version!

3.) I would like to THANK ALL OF THE STAFF, because on the ACE forums they helped me a lot! Also to the developers for making a tool like this for my simple mind! And I can't forget community members who have helped me immensely in many aspects of the maker!
