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.

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.

Wait how does this team thing work? I signed up but like... I dunno how this'll work.

Teaming is basically just working with someone else. If you have a group or team you're working with, at the top-right of the page, next to Details, you'll see a Team button. Just add the names of the people you're working with (their usernames on the site, obviously) and it'll show up under your team name.

Keep in mind that the game itself has 8 hours tied to it. This means that if you have a team of three, you have 8 hours between you, not 8 hours each, to get the game done. You can divvy that however you want.

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


Sure. Not a problem~


Back to bed for me. @.@ diiizzzyyyy

Okay, but do I choose ask people if they wanna join or are they able to do it willingly?

By the way YM is your group name an allusion to "Being John Malkovich"? If so, that's fantastic.
Not just the group name. Even the game itself.

If your character drops to her knees, you lost.

The indicator needs to be in the orange or the red. If it hasn't reached the two needles at top, you drew too soon.

If you don't hit the shift key at all, you lose.

You just ask around those that seem interesting to partner up with. People you talked to before at best or just those who are searching themselves.

I was making a joke about the fact that after you won the game and went to drop off the "baggage" at the jail, it goes to the game over screen.
