THE LATEST

Statborne
Face your stats in this dangerous new world, where danger, death and madness lurk around every corner. Nothing too exceptional to report on stats this month, but we are over 100 commercial game profiles.
Izu Paradiso (in development)
Another area in the works to feature in our Kickstarter campaign vid.
Obviously I want to showcase as much of the full-game's colour, variety and vibrancy as possible, so including Izu Paradiso in it was a no brainer.

I have to say that it's my favourite of all the parallax-mapping assets I've created so far.
Craze is Mischievious
The results are in for the Mischief List Maker poll, and the winner is Craze with his 'All Aboard the SS Drama' playlist! Congratulations Craze, and thank you to all the participants.
Mischief Managed
This was a Playlist creation event. Contestants were to make a good, creative play list of at least 4 games and post a link to that list in this topic. I have checked them out, select the top 10 (in my opinion) and put them in a poll.

We will now vote for the best one, and the winner will get a gifted copy of Mischief (worth $25) a cool art program, courtesy of RMN!
Battledome Completed!
The RESULTS are in! We've finally woke up that lazy bum in the voting booth to tally the votes. Here they are!
Incitement - A Look at How Game Play Really Does Matter

When it comes to a good SciFi RPG, it would seem that RPG Maker games have always been in the minority. Even amongst more popular titles such as Lost Land Ruin, Alter A.I.L.A. and Iron Gaia, this is a genre that gets drowned out by mainly fantasy and survival horror games. And then along came Celianna’s Futuristic Tileset and Matseb’s growing use of these resources, and we’re slowly starting to see an upward trend of these kind of games.

Because I'm seriously tired of seeing the costume ideas blog post, I'm writing something new! Check that out! I'm calling this the INFO BLURBS and might try to make one each month sometime, just to say what's new with the game and were I currently stand. So...
1. Estimated Completion Date
2. "Squall, what are you doing here?" "... whatever."
3. The Chocographer Device
4. Abilities!
Release Something'd
Release Something! Day XIII Feedback Thread is live and ready for...well, feedback! The submissions and their links are all listed in the first post for your quick perusal. Happy commenting!
Mischief List Maker
This is a Playlist creation event. Make a good, creative play list of at least 4 games and post a link to that list in this topic. I will check them out, select the top 8 or 10 or so (in my opinion) and put them in a poll. We will then vote for the best one, and the winner will get a gifted copy of Mischief (worth $25) a cool art program, courtesy of RMN.
SLIP INTO RUBY PART 4: MAKING A SCENE CONTINUED
Hello class! Today we're going to finish our bestiary projects.

A series of articles about Ruby and breaking down the scripts to help those new to the subject to slip on in and start their own scripting adventure.
The Great RMN Migration
RMN is moving!

We recently purchased a new server which actually turned out to be a bit more powerful than our current server (with a faster network connection) for less money!

On Saturday, March 21st at about 9:00 AM CDT I will freeze the current site and put up a splash page alerting visitors to the move. This will ensure that I have the latest copy of all game downloads, images, locker files, etc. as well as the latest copy of the site's database.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Tipping Stats

The next round of statistics are up (finally - I think this is the latest they've ever been). We are over 3 million downloads! Also, I don't have to quit RMN forever because someone else reached 10,000 posts before I reached 30,000.
Battledome Semi-finals
Round 4 of the Battledome voting is underway. The semi-finalists slug it out over the chaotic ocean world Archia and over the industrial world Titan. Study the battleplans of the remaining four and cast your vote now!
Behind every cynic is a frustrated idealist
I've been following this project pretty much since its debut on RMN, partly because I like the developers' other work, partly because I like detective fiction, and in part because this duo's projects have a tendency to make me think about them a lot more often than other projects.
State of the Game ~ Musings About the Future

So. Kiddos.

I started working on and almost finishing that stat redux right before the Game Jam, when I was invited into a team and decided "why not, it's just two weeks." It soon was three weeks during which I worked on our project, finished my share and nothing got released. Welp.
Second Saturday Scores
I am going to try something new here at RMN this month (and every month going forward in 2015). I am going to track your Makerscore every second Saturday of the month and calculate how much you gained. And then I am going to rank you, post the Top 30, give achievements to the Top 5 finishers and give a prize from my Steam inventory to the Top Makerscore Earner the past month.
SLIP INTO RUBY PART 3: MAKING A SCENE CONTINUED
Also known as "Holy crap! Trihan actually finished the next bit?"

Hello class! I'm back! I know I promised this just a liiiiiittle bit earlier, but better late than never right?

...right?

Well anyway, when last I left you we had gotten to the point in making our bestiary where it looked like this....
Battledome Round 3 begins
The third round of voting is taking place now for Battledome 5. Read up on the remaining robots and their strategies, and cast your vote! There are some cool (and terrible) illustrations, too - you gotta check it out.
50 Stats of Grey
So today I learned that there are three 'Shades of Grey' books. Three. Like, a whole series of them. Not bad for a Twilight fanfic, I guess. Oh, and the monthly stats are up.
Not Quite Perfect but Fun Nonetheless
I'm quite fond of Megaman games. They're enjoyable little romps with great gameplay, stage design, and boast fantastic music. Megaman fangames, on the other hand, are a territory I haven't really traveled, my experience limited to the first two Day in the Limelight games. Megaman: Revenge of the Fallen is therefore one of the first fangames I've picked up, and the first where you play as Megaman, eager to see how it stacked up.

Let's get into it.
