[XP and VX]!! The Five Map Game Contest

[Kiriashi 117]

~The Five Map Game Contest~

by Kiriashi~

 

POSTPONED

Until people PM me their unencrypted projects, this contest will stay opened. People have told me that they just don't have enough time right now.

If I were to end it right now, Leon would win by forfeit, and what is the fun in that?

 

Meanwhile, send me in your progress whenever you can!

 

Contest

Okay, we haven't had a contest in a long time. I'm not including the "Name That..." games because those.. were games. I'm hosting this new contest, and we're going to have a lot of fun! And, the winner gets a special prize, so make sure you enter, there is nothing to lose!

 

How it works:

 

We are all going to make a small RPG Maker game. Yeah you heard that right, RPG Maker. You can use either RMVX or RMXP. Neither one will earn you more points, so choose what you're better with.

 

This game can have only five maps in it. There is no minimum size limit, but the max size is 30x30.

 

Judging will be done by us all, so that means I can join! We will all vote in a poll I'll make at the end of the contest, and you can't vote for yourself.

 

Your game can use any tile-sets or auto-tiles, and I will be posting some for you to use.

 

If you have more questions on the rules, just ask.

 

To sign up, just say you are entering in a new reply to this topic! So easy.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT

 

Make sure you send in your project by March 31st! Please send me the game you made via PM hosted on the site www.2shared.com or www.mediafire.com (preferably 2shared), I will post a zip here at the end of the contest for everyone to judge at the end.

Also, please choose XP if you are uploading an XP game VX if you are uploading a VX game.

 

MAKE SURE YOU PLAY EVERY PROJECT POSTED HERE. You have to play them in order to vote. You can vote even if you didn't enter the project.

 

The prize, is either 30 SP points, or 2 window skins and 2 tile-set splices. I will make splices, and Polraudio will be making the window skins.

If Polraudio wins than I will make him to tile-set splices, and he wins 15 SP. If I win then he will make me two window-skins and I win 15 SP.

 

SP can be spent on services that people have in their profile info under their avatar, example: I make map splices and maps. Leon makes scripts, Polraudio does window-skins.

 

You can use a different message system script and a different battle system script if you want, or/and make 100 lines of your own script. May I suggest cocoa's UMS script? Make some awesome text with it!

OKAY!

 

Here are some resources for you to use!

 

Path Autotile

 

Water Autotile

 

You get extra points for using big tile-sets, 'cause that means you have to set up the priorities, bush flags, directions and pass-abilities. If you don't set those up, people probably won't vote for your game.

Tilesets:

My Island Tileset

erk's Really Nice tileset

 

YOU HAVE TO PUT THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR SIG IF YOU JOIN!

[OverlordMao 0]

I'll join! I'm getting good with making VX maps. Mind if I use a Tileset E?

Also, anything specific I can/can't do for it?

Like...

No pitfalls (Who uses those), No Random Battles, No Random Sprite Movement, etc...

[Kiriashi 117]

Well I forgot to post something on scripts and the prize.. so I'll post that, but no, the rules are all there.

 

Tip, you have a better chance at winning my vote if there aren't a lot of battles, or if the battles have funny text in them. Cut-scenes are always nice too!

 

Want your name in a color? I'll give you.... pink! xD

[Polraudio 122]

We will all vote in a poll I'll make at the end of the contest

So were voting inside me but with 1 more "L"? Just Kidding.

 

Cant wait to win this contest. My 5 map game will be awesome.

 

Question: What about scripts. How many, What types? yes, no?

[OverlordMao 0]

I think I'll go with... Dark Red, the one right under Black.

[monkeydlu 0]

I'm signing up.

 

you can also put Sithlord999 down as well, I'll get him in this, lol.

 

also, if you want, I can donate a prize, um, a set of 5 icons? Not much, I'd do that for free anyways, but it's something to put if you want, lol

[Kiriashi 117]

xD Okay, but make sure you talk about the contest in here from now on.

 

What kinda games are you guys doing? Care to share? Maybe not?

 

EDIT: Look at the bottom of my first post to read what was here in a easier way. (I didn't know code tags disabled the other tags, SO HELPFUL!)

[monkeydlu 0]

why is it mandatory to pdut that in my sig? lol

 

anyways, so it also should be a game?

 

Meh, well, if you don't mind a collaboration, cuz I'm 90% sure Seth won't be bothered enough to actually make a game, you care if we work together? He make the maps and I'll just put together the game?

 

I might just make a little sie story for my own game, if not that I'll think of something.

 

edit-

 

btw, whats a tileset splice? Is that just like putting tilesets together?

Go for it! As long as you guys share the prize if you win.

 

Let's see, that would be either (you can both choose your own prize) a windowskin and a tileset splice for both of you, or 15 SP for each of you.

 

What is seth user name here? If he doesn't come here, he can still take the first prize. Or you can spen his SP for him. lol

 

And you have to put that in your sig if you join the contest, so more people will join when they see your posts.

 

If you don't have room, save the link of your other sig stuff in a notepad file and out it back on when the contest is over.

[Nisage 31]

I'll join, but a few questions must be answered first before I officially do. We can have anything in the 5 maps right? I know less battles the better, but any 5 maps correct (the tilesets, any tilesets right?) Does the game have to be encrypted or not? And scripts, how many, or any at all like Polraudio's Personal Save Files (that is a good script to use). If we're unable to upload the project here, can we upload onto 2shared.com? for prizes, is it a "we get to choose who makes the prize for us"? (like say OverlordMao wins and he wants a windowskin) or is it a "Prize pack" (it's filled with a few custom creations for the winner)? I think the first one sounds better. And finally, but certainly not least........... Can my name be orange when you put it for the "Current Contenders"? :P I'm guessing that anything else goes, like we can use any amount of variables, events, switches, etc............ right? Also I modified my sig so now if you click the picture, it'll send you to here.

[Kiriashi 117]

First of all, can you post the code of the linked image? I always wanted to know how you make an image a link. How do you? xD.

 

Okay, the game can be encrypted if you want, but for the sake of the site, please don't.

 

Yes, only five maps. 25x15 to 30x30 each.

 

Polraudio's script is indeed very nice, but what I said is all that goes. :(

 

There is no more problems with the downloads manager, but yes, 2shared mediafire and filefront (don't really like) are okay if there is a problem with the downloads manager.

 

The prize system is as follows: If you win, you have a choice; choice A is 2 windowskins by polraudio, and two tileset splices by me. For Monkeydlu and Seth, yeah I said that before.

 

Every thing else goes!

[Kiriashi 117]

UPDATE

 

Please send me a PM on your progress in percent form (like 57%). I am making bars that I will put in the first post that will let people know where this event is coming when we are hard at work.

 

Thanks!

[Kiriashi 117]

Alright, I changed the code that you should out in your sig. Nisage so kindly remade it for me. Please put the new code in your sig. It is at the bottom of the first post in a code box (well it will be in a few minutes after this post is made.)

[Leon 55]

Looks as though i was volunteered into this.

[Kiriashi 117]

Hehe, yes you were.

[Kiriashi 117]

How are you guys coming with your games? I wanna make the progress bars.. I wonder if I can get Jesse to join... :P

[Nisage 31]

whichever one works better for you. I'm still trying to think of what kind(s) or map(s) to use for it.

[Kiriashi 117]

I'm doing pretty well, still need to do a few more things.

 

Dude, don't rush it.

You have more than a week to go! Please don't post your game until 3 days before the judge day. Or on the judge day. xD

 

Set my progress to 0%.

Will do, for you and me ;)

-2.7%??

[monkeydlu 0]

lol, you can probably expect mine on the hour before deadline ends, if not later.

[Nisage 31]

I'm somewhere around 4 or 5% done.

[Kiriashi 117]

Aight cool! Leon mentioned to me that there should be less rules so people can be more creative.

 

 

So, if you guys want you can only follow the rules of five maps and the size requirement, go ahead.

[OverlordMao 0]

Kiriashi, I'm sorry, but I can't work on the map any longer. :unsure: I'm being swamped with work I need need to get done, and since I have no idea when thats going to get done, can you take me out of the contest for now? I'll post a message here when and if I'll be able to continue being in it.

[Kiriashi 117]

Gee that sucks. I will put a note by your name.

 

Try to continue it when you can! There is still time! I will delay the contest if need be okay?

[Nisage 31]

I think you might have to delay it a bit, I'm still at 9% and still going nowhere.

[Kiriashi 117]

Hehe, that is still good.
