X Week Project
Endurance Game Design Contest
Round 1 Status: Idle
ExplanationSimmilar to RMRK's Game in a Week contests, this project will allot X ammount of weeks for each designer to create a game. Each contest will have specific requirements, such as using a specific database, list of characters, set of scripts, etc.
For a contest to be Active, there must be atleast 3 people participating. Projects are NOT limitted to solo work, you may join in groups.
Games will be scored based on:
-Storyline Quality
-Utilization of Graphics
-Replay value
-Overall quality in regards to systems (more scripts =/= better game, it's how the scripts are used)
Rules will be given for each contest, so keep posted.
ROUND 1: 2 Weeks to WorkThe first round project will allow 2 weeks for members to work on a project. The game must feature a COMPLETE storyline, a minimum of 25 maps, and have a cast of atleast 2 heros and 3 villians. The game must use the DEFAULT database for RPG maker, but people may make changes to character names, sprites, and what class they are using. This first contest will not feature a resource limitation, and custom scripts are encouraged.

-10 Maps Minimum
-2 Heroes Minimum
-3 Villians Minimum
-10 Custom enemies MAXIMUM

25 Maps during the school year, that seems a bit too much to me. I also think the default database may put off some people who would join, I've considered joining some of Arrow's game of the week contests, but with a sideproject based on one of my game's characters; I'd want to keep their skills and whatnot, and I wouldn't want to worry about the storyline.
Other than that, this sounds fun; hope it turns out well :)
Each round will have different requirements. Round 2 will require the use of Tons of Addons and Round 3 will require an all female cast (no males, good or evil, or even NPCs).
I have tons of ideas for each round.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Falcon. Between my sports and bass guitar and hw and school, it's a lot to do. I can barely work on Destiny's Corpse, let a lone a contest. Maybe some other time.
Rule revision, it's down to 10 maps and no one is obliged to join, this is strictly for fun.
Does 15% of my game in 30 days count? :V
So... we can't make new skills or enemies?
For the first contest, this is just to test how people do with the limitations. Don't worry, Round 2 will feature near-full creative control. You can change the animations for skills, appearances of characters and enemies, etc. But for simplicity's sake, everything else should remain the same.
lol, Blizzy, that's insane, but I don't think it'd be fair to have Chaos Project in the running for the first round, maybe we'll have a Project Faceoff some time later where we can show off our main projects.
I know, hence the :V smiley.
