Ah, the winter season is coming upon us. It's the time of year filled with good spirit, singing carolers, and lawsuits over saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays". But you know what? Screw legal restrictions, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! And as a little Christmas gift for this RPG Maker community, I'm going to give you a wonderful present this year: the greatest RPG Maker resource ever. Unfortunately, I don't actually have any resources at all to give you, let alone the greatest one ever. But that's where you come in!

We're going to hold a new little contest this Christmas season called The Twelve Days of Resources. For two weeks straight, we're going to have everyone and anyone work like Santa's elves to create some new RPG Maker resources before December 18th (one week before Christmas). Everyone of every skill level is invited to participate, no sign-ups or anything required, and you're allowed to submit up to a maximum of 25 resources for the contest. Once time's up, Santa's secret helpers will gather up and organize the submissions for TWELVE CONSECUTIVE DAYS of voting for your favorite resources. On the twelfth day, we'll gather up all the first and second place winners from the previous days and have them face off one last time to determine the greatest RPG Maker resource!




OFFICIAL RULES:

DEADLINE: Sunday December 18th, 2011


To submit a piece, simply bump this thread with your submission attached to your post, along with the piece's name, the creator's name if you're posting for a friend, and any additional info you wish to include in the post itself. If you have any questions, feel free to ask right here too. :3




Total Submitted: 64

Current Participants:


I hope to see a lot of people join in to show off their talent, and wish everyone an early Merry Christmas!

For this competition, I've started a new project called Decembiance. As you can guess, the goal/inspiration is electronic ambient music. Though I suck at simplicity, so quality not assured. But I hope you like it, and find it useful!

Title: Re: The "Twelve Days of Resources" Contest
Post by: yuyu! on December 05, 2011, 06:18:58 AM
I have two questions, if that's alright. :)

First, I'd like to know if I've made enough changes to the below faceset to count towards this.
Second, since I like to provide half-body images with the facesets, would that count as 2 or 1 contributes from me? Either way, I'm okay with it. 12 is a good limit for me haha.

Anyways, editing rips is the easiest method for me. My scanner is acting up, so I can't draw anything... Should this work, I'll try my best to make more for this contest. It may be difficult, because I have finals next week. But I'm not overly worried about them (easy college classes this time around). So, I thought I'd see if I could give this a little try. :)

Another simple script, this time for VX:

Requires Modern Algebra's lovely Item Instances Base (http://rmrk.net/index.php?topic=43441.0) script, and his Random Stat Variance for Items (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,43442.0.html) is highly recommended.

Your scripts are amazing, Cozzie! :) I think you're gonna win this thing.

I give the resources a Male Knight this time ~

I've been busy for the past few days, so I haven't submitted anything :-(

Anyways, I've returned with a Priestess Faceset, to add to my contributes.

25 is the max, I can add, right? Since I do a half-body image with the facesets, I'll probably only make 12 or less of these. This should be my 4th one. :P

A part of "Project Ace", some (well, a lot of) things from RMVX Ace.
Today, I'm releasing two tilesets from VXAce and sets I've modified for VX.

Credit for TileA5 and TileB needed.

Post by: Zylos on December 14, 2011, 09:25:37 PM
I'll accept them for now, but I'm not sure if RMRK Advance will accept some of them or when we start sorting pieces, since I don't really see much that's been changed for some while others have what looks like a white background layer. I don't really know much about Ace just yet though, so I'll just add them to the pot for now.
Title: Re: The "Twelve Days of Resources" Contest

Can I submit again? If so, I extracted some charsets from VXAce and faces to go with them. I also have windowskins and everything. Fully working!

Again I ask though, how much of that has been modified? I'm waiting for the official release before trying Ace, so I don't have anything myself to compare it to and check.

What's this? HOLY SHIT!

PAC 1.7 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0RUROXKN). From both myself and yuyubabe. Damn. Right.
Title: Re: The "Twelve Days of Resources" Contest
Post by: Zylos on December 18, 2011, 03:43:28 AM
My own quick contribution. Simple edits mostly but decent considering that I'm not a spriter.

First is a darker version of Cyrus, given slight armor colorations and a more angry look. Second one is the green haired fighter who has a mask on in his battler image. I never really understood why they would put a mask on him there, but this is his sprite equivalent instead of being maskless.

That Pacbabe combo is delicious. Try it sometime guys, you'll see all of Pac's sexy scripts. :V

I wish I could contribute more, but sadly I've been busy. Still, was nice to have a hand in this haha ~

Probably becuase the resources arent in the public domain? I think VXace has soem sort of block on exporting resources

Default RMXP RTP can be useful too in the right situations, but it's not permissible either because it's not new content. You just pulled the RTP from Ace out and stuck it up here as your own submission when it's not even remotely yours. =/

I'm not trying to sound like an asshole or anything, but this IS a contest of skill here, and plastering up raws isn't really showing any real skill. So far, the Santa's Helpers I've talked to about it have voted to omit your submissions entirely due to not being edited. Which, if any, of your submissions HAVE you modified in some way?

THE FIRST DAY OF VOTING HAS BEGUN! (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,44688.0.html)


How we are working it is that we're going to have 11 days of elimination style voting. You will get lots of votes each and every day. Resources that get more votes will be included in the next day's poll, while those with less will be left out until the final poll when you are allowed one final vote. So be sure to check every day and vote for your favorites!

Some of the resources that were submitted were disqualified due to either being made before the start of the contest or being deemed by Santa's helpers as not modified enough from the original version to be allowed. Additionally, the iconsets were bunched together as single submissions rather than the total number of icons. This is the breakdown of everything submitted:


2 icon sets (18 total icons)
8 song tracks
6 scripts
12 full sized character graphics
8 facesets (64 total faces)
4 spritesets (7 total sprites)
2 battlers

42 total resources
Title: Re: The "Twelve Days of Resources" Contest
Post by: Zylos on January 07, 2012, 03:47:28 AM
And that's it, ladies and gentlemen!

The final poll is up! (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,44828.0.html)


At the beginning of the contest, we asked participants to hit us with whatever resources they could come up with, and we managed to collect a whopping total of 42 acceptable submissions. The first eleven days in the contest were elimination rounds to see how long these resources would last when competing against each other. Honestly, some that I expected to go far ended rather early, while some I never expected to last long made it nearly to the end. Now that we're at the end, four of the contestants are walking away with special awards:

HaloOfTheSun - Best Music for his song track "Frozen".
Modern Algebra - Best Scripting for his script "ATS: Special Message Codes".
IAMFORTE - Best Pixel Art for his "Yuyubabe Charset" sprite.
Nessiah - Best Portrait Art for her "Elicia Cut-In 1" picture.


The ultimate winning resource turned out to be Halo's song "Frozen"!
An extra congratulations to him and all of our other finalists!


For the last poll, we're bringing back all of the eliminated resources again for one more uber poll and giving everyone one last vote. So, be sure to go check it out and give one last shout out for your favorite of the bunch! Thanks to everyone who participated in the Twelve Days of Resources contest, and have a safe new year until next Christmas!
