RPG Maker Birthday Bash!

[Chester]

Will there be like... Who has the best game or anything like that? :3

 

[Deceius]

Let's get this started! I'm stoked to join this game making... um, er... drive!

 

[Cadh20000]

I'll do some brainstorming I guess and see what I can come up with. Might be a good chance to make use of the new species I dreamed up the other day.
Unfortunately the built-in character generator, Game Character Hub, and my own art skills aren't really up to the task of making characters of the Lachrimosa and Mura species so character art and sprites will be...difficult.

No. Anyone that finishes is a winner! Of course, we encourage you to try your best, but we won't be judging to see who has the best project.

Woo hoooo!  POPCORN!  Happy BDay, RM!  I'd say a birthday cake is in order!  I'll make one and show it off when the contest is all over on the 14th

I'll see if I can throw a free resource out there too (if that's allowed?)


(Or maybe I'll make a pie... who knows?)

But what if I want to be judged?


Judge me! Judge me harshly! Do your worst!


(I submitted my project to the forum)

 

[Zabu]

Hey everybody  !


I've one question, and i think you can help me here!


Can i use a part of a song in my project (like it's not commercial i think it's possible) ?


Thanks to you matters!


(The projet is the game for the contest!)

I am not going to lie, this is very dissapointing. You said quality over quantity, but what does it matter if I win regardless if I spend 50 hours to make the game as opossed to 1 hour?

Sure, go for it.

Even if your project is free, if the song is copyrighted, you have to go by their terms.For most songs, this means you can't use it without the artist's permission (which often costs quite a bit of money). If you're not sure, it's safer to go with a song you know you have permission for (such as a BGM theme composed by someone on the forums, or one of the DLC packs).

The point of this challenge wasn't to see who does best under pressure or who's capable of producing the best game ever in a month. That's what IGMC is for - and it has appropriately large prizes. Birthday Bash is more of a personal challenge for people to practice development, to finish a game and to get their name out there a little. It's about finding the value in the process, not the finish line. If that sounds boring or lame to you and you'd rather just make a crap game to get a free something, I can't stop you. But you're wasting an opportunity in doing so.

Thank you, i will do my best so!

Sure.

 

[Zabu]

I did the thread for my game!


It's hardest to make a thread than a game!

 

[Alkorri]

Happy Birthday! I will only be back overseas on March 1, but I'll try and see if I can scrounge up a decent game in ten days  

 

[Gothic Lolita]

Agreed, had more trouble posting a thread, then working on my game.
For some strange reason, it cut's of my Title name and the diary I written.  (\s/)
 

 

[Sixth]

So, do I have to make a topic in that special forum section if I want to enter this win-win event, or can I just share my game on the last day for surprise effect?


Although I am still not sure if I will enter or not. Only time will tell. 

 

[Lunarea]

Entries need to be posted in a topic in the event section, yes.


It's up to you whether you want to post now or wait until the last day.

 

[Saneterre]

Even if the games are not rated, will you still test them all ?


I understand the win win thing, and not giving big prizes for a winner, but If you do test them, why not shed some light on those you found the most interesting ?

Happy Birthday RPGM! I've been meaning to create a proper RPGM game this year and the birthday bash seems like the perfect way to start!

Same thoughts of me.

And actually a limitation for a hour of gameplay makes it easier to create a rpg.
Huge projects are nice, but most time there is allmost no progress to none.
That's why I lost interrest for a long time in rpg maker... 

But actually I made some progress now and I wish best luck for everyone else. (\s/)
