Official Contest! A New Beginning!

[Despain]

Does side-story/quests count as the ''4 hour long goal''? I Mean my game is going to get ALOT of side-quests/stories to keep it up while on the main quest Wink

Side-quests are fine.

Can I post my complete/almost complete game in the ''Projects in development'' thread? It is just so people can have fun playing it + reporting bugs or stuff

Read the entire topic. I've answered this. (you can post a topic for basic feedback but you cannot release a public demo)

Do we needs to include the project file with our entry?

For the judges you do. If you want the game to be encrypted for the general public you can submit an alternate version that will be the one we list in the topic for member judging.

Aww... no way I'll win then. I tend to make my code notoriously messy to get what I want, as long as it works. Oh well :P

The restriction on music is also kind of a bother, but I guess there's nothing to do about that.

 

[regi]

Wait, there's a restriction on music? Didn't you say that all resources (graphics and audio [EDIT] and scripts?) can be used with proper credit (as long as they're not copyright)?

 

[Malachi]

Okay, so we have to somehow fit the theme of a new beginning into the game's story?

 

[Despain]

The restriction on music is also kind of a bother, but I guess there's nothing to do about that.

When did I say anything about restricting music?

 

[Ynlraey]

I'll...try.........................
but wow.

edit: Put me in, thank goodness I didn't uninstall my rmxp after seeing VX. Just a question, ANY KIND of games right? As long as it's unique, 4 hrs long, complete, and made in RMXP.

 

[Brosek]

Sounds fun.. I need something to do with all of this free time of waiting for my team to get their stuff together.

It also needs to be themed around "A New Beginning".

Speaking of which, does this mean the title has to be "A New Beginning", or can it be anything related to the game?

 

[Ynlraey]

Hmm, that new beginning part confused me a bit O.o;
Good thing Pokemaniac cleared that bit ^^;

 

[Sles]

The new beginning theme will be sort of hard to incorporate into the idea I had, but I'll give it a shot.

Copyright game music. Can't use those.

 

[Munkk]

I'm in. :D Can we use any custom graphics? (Self made)

 

[Bocom]

I am in. This will also be my first _real_ project, however, I will work hard to make it good.

 

[astroomar]

Yes, Despain answered that question, you are allowed to use self made graphics. If you use other none-copyrighted graphics, then you will need to give credit to him/her/the site in your game, so that means you are allowed to use self-made graphics and (none-copyrighted) graphics which other people has made.

 

[Yaoumei]

Sounds interesting. Anaryu and I will join.

 

[Munkk]

So, for an example, could I use white ties charasets ? Or would I have to edit them first? (Of course credit would be given either way)

 

[Mr.Mo]

white ties and Knight Blade are both sample games by Enterbrain, so I don't see why you can't use them.

 

[Malachi]

@Yaoumei
OH GOD NO! WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE!

 

[Dagger]

Wow I'm so in for this sounds like it could be fun ^^. And it finishes on my birthday ^_^

Holy! We can't use these D:
I thought as long as you give them credit *sweatdrop*
