Awesome Bro

Location: Liverpool, England
Happy 5 years!

Doesn't seem like yesterday that this place started up. Can't wait to see some entires come through! I'd get involved, but time isn't on my side at the minute and $150 can be made doing something I'm actually good at, much quicker.

I want to be young again! :sad:

$150 US in two months time?!

Why, if I put it together with some loose change, that will be enough to buy myself a whole new Snickers Bar! :haha:




Count me in. I think.




Can we use the words "Recreation Room" instead of Rec Room? :)

Also, define "originality and innovation" - the last bit is a lot easier than the first bit. What are we talking here? Would I be marked down if my hero was rescuing a Princess from the dragon in the tower.... The... uh... Underground tower?

It's like with ripped graphics - you need to credit where you got it from or who made it. Obviously we don't expect you to create the entire soundtrack to your game by yourself, so commercial music is expected. (however, the more original music, the better! :wink: )

Also, good point noise. I've added it to the FAQ.

Does this include music from professional bands?

Anyway, $150 USD, me likey, and now I have an official reason to put my regular project in the back burner! yay, no more making graphics, after graphics, after graphics...

I have noticed the absence of writing/storyline in criteria. Does that mean we're free to do a Tetris-thing if we like with no story at all :biggrin: ? But it seems most people will do standard RMXP game tho. Are they any rewards if they have a kickass writing/story?

A game can be fun with no story. Go nuts.

don't stress yourself over the semantics. if it's neat or fun or interesting then that's the most important part.

Might be an obvious question, but - Does it *have* to be an RPG?

nevermind, I need to learn to read posts better :X

Man, I took a look around the contest forum, and I wanna say I'm impressed by the quality of everyone's ideas! For whatever reason, this stuff is really a cut above most of what you see in the RM community. Keep up the good work, guys!

So does Wreck Room. :grin: :kiss:

Does that count? What about Rectum Room... :thumb:


If so, this could be very fun.

I'll be a judge! I'll give my game a 35 and everyone-else's a 0. :thumb:


Are there any qualifications required for being a judge?

Prerequisites maybe?

There's no specific requirements, per se. That being said, it's helpful if you're an active member, and have made some constructive posts in the game development boards. :)

If we can see that you're committed and will do a thorough job of judging the games, then feel free to PM me about judging!

Are we allowed and make a game/help somebody make a game?

How long before the deadline do you have to apply to be a judge?

I'm pretty sure that you aren't allowed to be a judge and competitor. You'd just vote for your game. That was what my joke was making fun of....


Dadevster, "it's helpful if you're an active member" were you referring to me in specific?
'Cause if so:

1. I'm not planning on being a judge.

2. :ouch: I'm active...

Uh...I was referring to anybody interested in being a judge. Not just you. :|

Velocir_X wrote:

If you mean making a game and helping somebody else make one at the same time, then I would have to say no, simply because it could potentially cause problems with the prize money if somebody happened to win. Plus, if you're making a whole game yourself, surely that's enough work for ya!

Velocir_X wrote:

There's no actual deadline, although at least a week or two before would be preferable so that we can get the judges all sorted out and ready by the time the contest ends.

This might not be so obvious to some. But you have to be 18+ to have a paypal account. It's something that crossed my mind when I was doing the Collaboration Competition, I was offering a giftcard to amazon.com which you'd have to be 18 to order anything anyways or have your parents do it for you.

we're also offering to send a money order but this might be better.

I am no longer special. :cry:

And I couldn't really tell that, Ven. Your story didn't show that it was focused on music. o-o
