Description

RMN is having it's 8th birthday and as such we're having an event. Because God forbid we forget this year like we did the last two, right? Right!

And what's better than a short game making competition? Not much!

So grab your engine of choice and get ready to rumba!

What we doing?

We're makin' gam! In eight hours! Woo!

Basically, over this weekend we will be creating a short game based on the theme of self-insert/cameos within eight hours. That is, you have a total of eight hours over the course of the weekend, broken up however you like, to make a game in.

During the event we recommend that people make use of the RMN IRC chatroom in order to talk about what they're doing and give feedback, bounce ideas and just have fun.

This is a birthday event and as such it's social!

At the end of the weekend we show off the games we made and give feedback. The downloads will be compiled in to one game project which will also be released not long after - as such you won't need to create game pages for your games.


Yes, there's a theme. It's pretty simple, too!

Cameos/Self-inserts: The main cast of the game need to consist of either yourself, people you know in real life or people you know on the internet. This means you could create a true Craze vs LockeZ game if you desire, or throw yourself and a group of friends into a fantasy world of your creation.

Whatever you like, how ever silly you desire~ As long as it fits this theme it will count.


- Create a game within 8 hours over the course of the weekend of the 6th/7th of June.
- Game must abide by the site rules of game submissions (thus no pornography, hate speech and such).
- Game must fit the theme provided above.
- Upload to either your locker or a hosting site, then submit to the event page. (If you use a hosting site, put the link in the comments and make sure you use large text/bold in order for it to stand out.)
- The game may be made on any engine.
- Game should be complete and stand-alone, with all necessary files included.



There are three badges available.
- Gammak Cak (25 MS), which will be received if a game that fits the criteria is submitted.
- Feedback Balloon (15 MS), which will be received for giving feedback over the course of the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Gabby Gift (10 MS), for taking part in the chat sessions over the weekend.


If you have any questions or queries, ask here. We'll be operating on the honour system as there is no real way to determine if people are keeping time or not. Trust is the name of the game. Fun is the way we roll.

Can I use "copyrighted" music? The game is a parody and it wouldn't be the same without the original songs (or at least I can rip music from old games, right?)
Yes, yes. Anything goes.

Uh, just a note, btw: if you're gonna have people be in questionable situations (say, making-out or so forth) make sure they're okay with it. Some people might get a little odd about it. Just PM them and ask before-hand, okay?
naw just do it then ask for forgiveness after

Your kids are going to grow up to be amazing.
This is a pretty cool idea.
I have some school work this weekend (summer course) but I might just be able to squeeze 8 hours out for this contest. Not sure though, it would be cutting it close. I had a couple questions before I'd know for sure:

1. Is there a place we could get community member "charsets" to represent themselves for use in the game we make? Like...is that a thing?

2. How do people feel about the consumption of alcohol?
I'm here now. Everyone can calm down now.

What do you know? I had so much fun making mine, I did it one sitting. It is submitted and awaiting approval. Then I'll submit it here.
Gamepages aren't being used.

Instead, when complete, upload somewhere (locker/other host site) and either add the link in the comments with a large header so I can see it, or (if by locker) submit via the event page.


At the end of the event, I'll compile all downloads on to one game page which will host everyone's games of this event. No other game pages (I mean, really, you'd be lucky to end up with a 20 minute game, so it's not really worth it.) Think of how Action 52 was handled and you got the basic gist.

Trust Craze.

Anyway, finished mine! I only had time to include 7 characters. I would have added more if I had had the time! I might expand this in the future.

Happy Birthday, RMN! (Download here)

Complete games already...I'm not gonna win like this!!!

I've been working on my project for two hours now. Here's a screenshot of in-game action:

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

All of you can feel free to put me in whatever horrible situations your grotesque minds can imagine.

Thanks Lockers.

By the way YM is your group name an allusion to "Being John Malkovich"? If so, that's fantastic.

Also I like Kitsune's "What am I doing this".
Wait how does this team thing work? I signed up but like... I dunno how this'll work.

Yes, yes. Anything goes.

So is it ok if I have you beat up some evil people trying to overthrow RMN?
