[Open]Map Design--Real Prize

[Noob Saibot 38]

RMXP Community,

 

After some thought I have decided on a Contest that the winners (2 of them) will be rewarded a free legal license of RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX. I had to make sure I picked something challenging, but also that any one who owns RPG Maker XP, VX, or Game Maker could participate in. This contest is a form of Mapping Skills and Creative Skills. If you enter (simply reply to this topic and say which Software you are trying to win) you will be required to make a map in the shape/form of some type of creature using the default tile sets of the software (recoloring is okay). An example of this would be like a Pikachu Island (in the shape and minor details).

 

Below is my example (a Horned Slime Island; A Slime I created for this example based off Drake Slime from Dragon Quest series):

 

This is simply an example; with more time I'm sure I could make it damn good.

Rules

 

1) Must be made with Tile Sets in any game making software that supports Tile Sets.

2) You must provide a working demo of said map.

3) To Enter simply reply to this topic by saying what Software you are trying to win.

4) If you already own one or both of the software offered please do not enter.

5) Partners are okay, but it should be someone who is not entering the contest or requesting the same software.

6) Limit two entries per person.

 

Enter Start: 17 AUG 2011

Enter End: 31 AUG 2011

*The length of time people have to join/sign up for contest.

I think this is a very interestign and fresh contest :D Also all-in-all it's a well presented competition, although I have one question:

 

This - "If you already own one or both of the software offered please do not enter" We have to have at least 1 to make the creature out of either rmxp or rmvx tiles, and Game Maker doesn't come with default tiles

Actually no, you do not need RPG Maker XP, RPG Maker VX, or even Game Maker to participate in the contest. You simply need any game making software that supports Tile Set construction (see full list of game making software here; not all are tile based and some are free or paid). Now if you own RMXP then obviously you can only try and go for the RPG Maker VX license. Now as for Game Maker, yes it does have default resources they are just downloaded separately.

Ahh I understand now, thanks :)

I have a question for this...I have RPG Maker XP, but I haven't been using it because I don't want to release anything that's made with an illegal copy...if I enter this with my illegal copy, would I be able to enter for the legal copy?

[Kiriashi 117]

May I enter to win it for someone else?

[Noob Saibot 38]

@ShinyToyGuns --- I do not see an issue here. I mean if people wanted to they could even use RPG Maker 2003/95 the only real rule is it must be a game making software that supports tile set maps/rooms.

 

@Kiriashi --- This depends on if the person is a member with at least 10 posts and they plan on helping you (if possible); or is it just someone you know?

 

@Everyone --- I updated the HERE link in POST #3 (of this topic) so it should work now.

[Kiriashi 117]

It's someone I know. She's not a member here.

 

 

EDIT: ANd she would not be helping me.

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

Do they have to be the default tile sets, or can we use custom ones? Either way, I'll be entering to make my version of RPG Maker XP legal.

Default, but you can recolor them if you wish. For example if you where going to make an Island in the shape of Pikachu and you wanted it to me more of the color theme of it you can recolor the tile set to resemble the color.

 

Also the island should be walkable (i.e. player can walk on it or sail (boat; RMXP has a script for this).

[Joko 1]

i may possible want to enter this. If i do i'd want a xp so i could have the legal copy xD...

I have a few plans for this *evil grin*

 

edit* pretty much i'l enter but i might not go through with it :( i'm kind of busy at the moment but i'l still try to get something in.

[Kiriashi 117]

I don't think you are allowed to post submissions in public.. not a very good idea...

This has been noted in the first post near the submission dates.

You should know better then that by now to trust people on any forum to read, because that requires effort.

RMXPU Community,

 

There are now 2 licenses for RPG Maker VX up for grabs. Only one person can win a single license. This means there can now be three winners.

I sent my entry for a legal version of RMXP to you via PM.

[Kevin.ds 28]

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

I received a private message on October 9th saying:

 

ShinyToyGuns,

 

You are the winner of the Map Design contest as you are the only person to submit an entry. Because of this I will give you the License for both RMXP and RMVX.

asking me to send an email to him so he could send the codes. I did this, but never received the codes. Haven't seen him since.

[Kevin.ds 28]

ah okey :P gz then :D , he'll probably come back sooner or later ..(they all do :drool:)

[Noob Saibot 38]

RMXPU Community,

 

Yes this contest was over OCT 1st and only one person actually submitted anything. So by default that person won.
