RPG Maker Birthday Contests
 ​
 ​
Hi, everybody. The blog has been a bit quiet, but it was all the calm before the storm! This will be the first year that we celebrate RPG Maker Day, on February 15th, and to celebrate our 24th Birthday we will be having loads of events, giveaways, and free stuff!

 ​
And to kick it all off we are going to be hosting an awesome game making contest: Encounters of the Boss Kind! This game making contest will be a bit different though in that you will be making the shortest games possible: Just one boss fight. Click here for more information!
 

 ​
This is an event focused on the creation of a game within a week, in celebration of RPG Maker's Birthday~ 
 
The idea of the competition is to create a compressed story with at least one boss battle. Short games are in season and as such aiming for under an hour is the key. Dare you unlock the door to the hidden treasures? 

 
GET READY FOR AN RM VENTURE!

I'm excited about the boss one.

The "Make an RPG in a week" scares the crap out of me.  I'm unsure if I'll follow that one... although seeing all the RPG Maker 95/2k names brings me back to days of early high school. <3

We'll be releasing some really awesome stuff, so don't miss out!  I've seen some of the stuff that's already going to be put out by some of our art contributors and it's all so delicious! *-*

And when I say to Ralph that I'm a God he doesn't want to believe me! I exist from before the creation of RM itself!

Seriously, It's nice to know that I'm actually 2 years older than the first tool...I feel omniscient in some way. XD

I have a pretty awesome idea for the boss fight, but Real Life is taking on me right now...

Gosh I always say I want to do a contest, but I never. :( I always ask my game-making BF if he'll join, but he declined when I told him the restrictions. :(

Who are you and how have we never met?

I kinda want to do the RPG in a week, since I think that could be killer fun, but there's no way I can compete with scripters. I doubt I'll even place in the Boss Battle Contest, but I'm going to do it just because it will be fun and good practice for balancing a fight.

The first "rule" is No Scripts.  Give it a try.

What do you mean? XD Also, I love your avatar! That was the last anime I watched, and loved, in a long time! :)

This is how I feel. I'll never compete either, but I want to do something fun and practice fighting stuff. :p

From the page (of the RPG in a week contest)

Can we use scripts?Yes. Have at them~
If there's someone who has a strong desire for another writer, I'd be willing to help, but that's about all I'm good at.

I mean I think you're cool and thanks. Homura is my spirit animal (even if I'm more Sayaka IRL). Click my signature.

I plan to submit this boss fight, which I fear is going to rely more on gimmicks then real stats, to the contest. I don't think I'll come close to the top, but it'll be fun and I'll feel like a real part of the community.

I'm probably Madoka, lols. I think I want to finish something finally. Would be cool! Why don't you PM me, so we can talk more? ^^

As one of the judges (if you're talking the RMN one) scripts can help, but that's only part of the game. We also will be judging based on graphics and story. ^.^

...I may do it, after all. Focus on making the best story out there. Well, I suppose it can't hurt to try.

I'm making my boss submission nostalgically classic in dedication of a good old NES classic.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
