Is there no Minimum Time Limit on this? Just wondering because someone could just make a 5 minute game and submit it, which of course would probably score really low, unless it's really epic...

Very interesting.

Do you have a rubric or something that you are expecting the judges to follow, or are they free balling it!? :V:

The judges have a very simple job
they don't have to judge art, or music, or scripting use.  Just how fun the game is and how well the RTP was used.  Custom event systems are a plus.

No prize? D:


I can't really offer a prize, then try to win it myself.

Also: updated the rules to clarify a few things and add one single script exception.  Namely, the one that fixes the Game_Interpreter so that variables work properly.  This was a fault on enterbrain's part, and contestants shouldn't have to suffer for it.

I agree. You should allow those kind of scripts.

yep, that one patch for Game_Interpreter is fine.
enhancing default scripts is -not- fine, but I've looked over this one and it addresses terrible flaws in the Interpreter, so it's good.

I am still confused as to my question.

I'm asking because included in the "Extras" folder included with RMVX are not only the larger face sets, but also more paralax backgrounds, down sprites, and other stuff that can help with the quality.

That...and I am kinda liking this cave paralax ^_^

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.

confused?
the answer is no.
They aren't installed with the RTP by default, therefore no.

keywords, 'not in the RTP'
this, being an RTP ONLY challenge, means RTP ONLY.

Fuck man, this is a tough and fairly strict contest.  I'd do a remake of an FF game, but that just feels stupid (especially since I've been working on IV).

I'm trying to think of something good, but eventing in RMVX without scripts can be a pain in the ass...

Well, I hope I have a game ready.

if you don't like it, then drop out.
read the nice red line on the first post for more info.

Well, this is rather unfortunate.
I just got slammed with nice paper to write for english class, and won't be able to work on my game :/

I will step out of the competition and revise my role.

Instead of being a contestant, I will offer a prize.  You have the choice between either a simple script for XP or VX (complexity of the script subject to my interpretation and analysis), or one free art commission.

's a bummer, but school comes first :/
