    NAM's VX Challenge


    Alright Kiddos, this is a very simple challenge, obviously to be done with RMVX.

    Rules

    • You may only use the RTP Resources: That means no custom scripts, sprites, or tiles.  Eventing is fine.  CUSTOM TITLE SCREENS ARE FINE.  If it wasn't installed with the RTP, it's out of bounds.

    • You -are- allowed to use this script, as it fixes the mistake enterbrain made with variables.

    • You ARE allowed to move RTP resources into different folders (such as a face set to the pictures folder) as long as you do not modify it.

    • You have 15 days from the time you sign up, to finish your game.

    • You must submit a non-encrypted version of your game to the judges, but may submit an encrypted version for the public.

    • Limit 1 member per team

    • To submit your game, PM a link to me, and I will distribute it to the judges.  After the voting ends you are free to post a project thread of your own



    Judging

    • Each judge is to play each game to completion, or to the point where they feel that they can adequately grade the game

    • They are then to grade the game in the following categories (grade from 0 to 10):
      -- Mapping Skill (how well they were able to use the default tileset)
      -- Concept Originality (how fresh and new the game's story and/or mechanics were)
      -- Execution (how well the game was delivered and how smoothly it played)
      -- Fun Factor (was it fun?)

    • The scores from all judges will be averaged to determine the game's final score

    • If desired, the judge can write a review (of any desired length) to help explain their assessment.

    • Judges are not to conspire with each other, or talk to each other about a game or games until the judging has been completed



    Simple enough right?  15 days, RTP only.  No gathering special resources or anything, just trying to make a killer game with what you have available right from the get-go.  With the exception of a custom title screen, should you choose to use one.
    It can be any sort of game, as long as no scripting goes into it other than the default scripts.

    STOP ASKING IF I WILL BEND THE RTP-ONLY RULE, I WILL NOT, THIS IS AN RTP ONLY CHALLENGE, BENDING THAT RULE DEFEATS THE PURPOSE.

    I made it VX because not many people know it really well yet, that and there's less out there, so there's less temptation to break the rules.

    Just a quick question though.  Can we use the special resources included with XP?

    Rule 2: ShowHide
    Quote from: Rule No.2Keep your signatures at reasonable size. The pictures in your signature may altogether be no more than 200kB and take up an area of 1600px2. That means 2 pictures of 400x200 are fine, one picture of 800x200 is fine and so on. Also your pictures height must not exceed 200 pixels, width can be as big as you want as long as your pictures match the other criteria. Every signature not matching this criteria is a subject of the moderator team to remove and leave this rule as message in your signature.

    You mean the XP RTP in a VX game?

    naw, I mean RMVX came with extra pictures and such (suitable for character dialogue) and other resources that aren't installed, I usually drag-drop them into the RTP

    You can use what came installed with the RTP
    the only custom resource you can use is the Title.
