Ugh ... what to do, what to do. I am going to enter, but I am not sure exactly what genre yet.

I...am incredibly nervous to be honest. This will be my first contest. Also, since this genre is before my time, I'm a bit nervous. I'm determined, however, to do a great job and show something I can be proud of.

With all of that said:
1. Text Adventure (Easy of course lol)
2. June 20th start date

Sorry, but after talking about it for a bit we've decided that we can not allow erotic games into the GIAW.
Don't let that discourage you, if you still want to make a non-erotic game you're free to join. :)

Honestly, I'm doing a lot of playtesting of my big project game right now, so I think I might just drop and judge instead. Lot of working coming up for some people visiting me soon anyways.

Yay GIAW!

As usual though, I'm a bit confused about being able to use resources you've already created but not creating them specifically for the challenge. Example: if I've created a day/night script or event for another game, can I copy and paste that to my GIAW?

Either way, I'm in! Puzzle Game for me (but still an RPG/Adventure too).

Anyone fancy doing this in a wee team (if we're allowed to?)
Would quite like to get into this again, but have been really working art more than anything lately since college has just finished, would want to focus on that, but happy to help out in all other regards too...except scripting o_o

Don't know if I have time to get a decent one done myself though, can definitely have a think about it if no one else wants to~

I'm interested in Team Wee if you'd like to take over battles. I wasn't planning on having battles at all since I know I wouldn't have time to program them on top of other cool gameplay. Or if you'd just like to add spriting, portrait, or title screen flair. I'm using RM2K (totally outdated but still AWESOME!), so I don't know if that works for you. PM me if you want to brainstorm any of these!

It exports to all os's through a program reader

If this disqualifies me

Hi everyone,
got informed about the contest by a buddy over at the RPG Maker forums, decided to come along seeing how far away IGMC is.
Anyway, I'm free and I'd love to participate, been too long since I actually finished a game.

Just had one question, just because I choose horror doesn't mean it has to be Amnesia / Outlast horror, where you run away and hide right? I'm more into horror where you can actually fight back, so I'd be more interested in an RPG Horror game. I'm guessing that's permitted given the flexibility, but it never hurts to ask, ''better safe than sorry.'' ;)

Anyway, here's my entry...

Normal Mode - 2. ~~Horror~~ Sorry, Mystery sounds more fitting with just a little bit of horror thrown into the mix.
(Monday) Start June 15th 12:00 AM - Finish June 21th 11:59 PM
Time Zone: Central European Summer time, +2 hours.

Looking forward to it. :)

Aye, sounds good. Don't need to do battles if you don't want; you sound like you already have an idea/plan set out, I'm not here to mess with that, I wanna do some art right now! Can look into the eventing and that if you want as well, has been a while since I've used RM2K but I'm sure it'll come back to me :)

I can't start this weekend, as I've got my college exhibition tomorrow and plans over the weekend. Can probably start any time after that though, as I'm totally free next week. Also, if you're game for it, I've got a friend who might be wanting to help out in an effort to learn the software and some game development fun :)

PM me or something, let me know your thoughts/plans? I haven't checked page1 yet, have you already signed up for a genre? x

Just a quick heads-up, I changed my topic to ''Mystery'' as I feel like it fits my idea a bit better.

I'm not sure if I can scare people all that well, but being mysterious on the other hand...
I guess a little bit of horror goes perfectly well with mystery.

One Bluntsword GIAW entry, to go.

Welcome aboard Mr. Swag. Could I get your offset?

Quote from: flapbat on June 11, 2015, 07:07:48 PM
I'm gonna have to shift my start date to the 20th. I forgot I have a major test on the 18th.

Uhhhh, I'm not good at these. Central time zone please.

Ok. You're date has been moved. :)

Well, I mean, as a judge, and therefore being one that judges games, and since I was never asked anyways, I'll just pop my I requested response in here... I really don't care the content of a game. A game is a game. As a judge I accept whatever comes my way. That's part of judging fames; I'm not going to tell someone that they can't be creative however they want to be... That being said, idlf people want to make games that they want someone to look at, but can't enter here for "reasons" send them over to me anyways and ill give feedback, of course, the regulated entries take priority so it may take a little longer on said feedback, and a I doubt my rant will suddenly allow ALL games to be allowed...

Yeah, thats all, carry on with the signups...

I believe it is more that since all the judges must play every game, it wouldn't be fair to force them to play a game about extreme taboo subjects or whatever erotica you can think of. I think the only way we would allow an erotic game is if all of the judges were in agreement that it was ok, and even then it's still kinda sketchy.

Uhhh... These "reasons" for not allowing that content are expressed for a very good reason. The idea of forcing people to play weird shit because it's their "sworn duty as a judge" is ridiculous -- and I find it insulting to insinuate that it's part of the "judging games" process and people should just put up with hard core material.

I also don't think telling someone to not make an erotic game stunts creativity; I like to think it promotes decency. Saying that a work of "creativity" shouldn't be limited in this situation is akin to painting an erotic picture, selecting 5 random (volunteering) strangers of varying ages and values, and shoving it in their faces. MLP PORN!! LO!! You just got prank !! THNX 4 VOLUNTEERING!!

Just to be clear, I don't care if people want to make erotic, violent, weird games and post them on the forums. Just don't force people to experience the full force of your fetishes because they swore an oath to endure any game as an honorable GIAW judge.

Erotic games are simply there to target that one audience, and simply are meant for that "One thing" we all know what it's for and what type of audience it's meant for and would bite the bait. Also, The judges wouldn't be the only ones affected, the creator would also be affected, as it would be frowned upon and since it'll make people feel uncomfortable as you can see, you should realize that it would get a low score and criticism that could affect the creator's mood and even motivation on future projects. Both parties would be affected.

Also; you don't need to have an erotic scene of a women getting raped graphically to tell the story when you could have her shown been tied and beaten up with tattered cloths, leaving the 'details but letting know it happened without been graphic about it works even better and without having to make one sit down uncomfortably playing it. Adding the details simply is there to "Sell-out" to people who has that kind of 'fetish'. But that's my opinion about it.

Hi, I was just wondering, are there any prizes? Haven't noticed anything about that in the main post. The section is still empty, 1st time participant. ^^'

If not, then I have a bunch of Steam game keys (overlapping bundles, games that I already game, games that I'm not interested in and came with the bundle...) that I'm more than happy to chip in with. :) Could be a nice addon I guess.

They're not particularly expensive or anything, but I guess it's something! And nah, I'm not really into selling them (some are quite valuable, 20 euros and more), I'd rather do something nice with them. :D

I looked at the first post of this GIAW and seen that it's the wrong genre that is entered there. O.o
Actually text adventure is fine too, unless normal exploring is okay in that kinda games too.
There will be no fights, so text adventure is good too and it gives me a bit more freedom in designing the game. :) (\s/)

I somehow almost finished mine already... Took me only a few days!! Got to polish and bug-check everything :D
(Note to anyone not knowing, I started 11th and will send in my entry in 2 days!)

Didn't use anything but RTP and maybe, I did use some stuff that isn't mine...

I used Enterbrain sprites and RTP (and made one sprite myself)
I used lyrics/song titles from Disney, Mötörhead, Led Zeppelin, Weather Girls, Fallout3 Intro song.
I also used two songs in the game: Jack Savoretti - Soldier's Eyes and Mötörhead - Ace of Spades
I also used a game-title and idea from Hu Wen Zeng and Umoni Studio (Piano Tiles -Don't tap the white tile)

This is no game I want to make any money from!! So don't hate me on this :D

Planned on doing this earlier but had ridiculous hours at work. Can I combine two hard modes or will I have to stick with one genre? (i.e. A dungeon crawler dating sim or a stealthy puzzle game.)

EDIT
I'm just going to post my project now and just not do any dating sim aspects if I can't when I start.

Genre: Puzzle (Puzzle / Dating Sim if possible)
Start: 6/19
Timezone: CST

Title: Re: Game in a Week XIV: THE GENRE GRINDER'S REVENGE
Post by: Acolyte on June 18, 2015, 06:03:35 AM

I think everyone should just stick to picking one genre. You can put whatever you want in and won't be penalized for it, but it will be judged by the category you select. For example, you can enter in the puzzle category and have dating sim elements, but you'll ultimately be judged by how well the game adheres to the puzzle aspect.

Basically if you want to make a puzzle game with some dating sim stuff, go for the puzzle genre. If you want to do a dating sim with some puzzles thrown in, go with the dating sim genre.

I wish I'd had any ideas for this; forcing yourself to have a deadline actually results in some pretty decent stuff if you take it seriously. Or at least stuff that you can polish up and have a nice little game.

Hi, had a sudden and slightly sad moment of realization, it's the first time I've submitted to one of these... and I have no idea where you submit it to, how and where do you submit the actual game?

Send Acolyte a PM with a link to a download of your game.

They're usually submitted directly to the judges, or whoever's running the event, so Acolyte in this game it may be. They'll then all be released publicly after all the submission dates have ended and all the judges have given their scores for the whole competition.

Someone will let you know where you can send them specifically though :)

I won't kick the bucket on my project just yet, but I should probably give you all a heads up that I might have to drop by the end of this. ;( I started Friday and have pretty much done nothing but put a few scripts in it and type up a weak planner (I guess an hour's worth of work at best). It's gonna be so weird being a GIAW drop-out. I'm never a GIAW drop-out. We'll see what the week has to offer. ;9

*dies*

GAH that was... bad xD My game is so unfinished, it's horrible. That's what you get for being sick for 2 days and working 2 more. Oh well.

On brighter news, this is my first game! Even if it's not entirely done xD It's been such a great learning experience as well! Yay ^.^ I'm looking forward to the results, and to hear more about the other games.

(A small warning to the judges: The game is most likely broken. It's missing some features, which I didn't have time to correct into a "not active" version, I think. And I didn't have time to test it through, so chances are that balancing are entirely off. Chaos! Yay!)

Title: Re: Game in a Week XIV: THE GENRE GRINDER'S REVENGE
Post by: lonefoxlaughing on June 27, 2015, 03:58:26 AM

Aaaaand submitted!

This was my first time really working with actual scripting "under the hood" of VX Ace; I managed to write (with much debugging) a script on my own that modifies SAS IV, and I'm quite proud of that- having a functional demo feels pretty good even if it's more bare bones than I planned. I did end up spending a lot more time banging my head on the keyboard than I had planned to figure out how several classes interacted to get everything working, but it was valuable experience.

After spending a week on this project, I feel like I learned a lot that I didn't know about RGSS3 before. :3

So, as a judge I got all of the games that were sent to me downloaded. However, because of the way it was organized, I don't know if I have all of the games, and of the ones I do have, I don't know which ones belong to which contestants or what some of their titles. A lot of them were just named GIAW, so I'm having a hard time judging these at the moment.

Read: Aco is amazing.

I totally decided I forgot how dates worked and started on Sunday July 21st instead of Saturday. Anyhow, I just turned in my game: God, Save The Queen.

I even pulled back on what I wanted to get done and STILL came nowhere near finishing.

Oh well, for the crazy week it's been, I enjoyed getting back into RPG Maker. Makes me want to revive an old project or two...

I'm sure that, even if the games didn't have much, they would still be enjoyable. Besides, then you can always finish them later on and get all the missing glory then! Always submit. ^.^

Most definitely. I've done four GIAW's now and have only once submitted a full game. It's a part of the fun to see how much you can accomplish and what you can do.

If there's still confusion about who authored what, I titled mine "Skyless" (on the title screen, anyway- filename should be "web-giawxiv").

This is the first RPG Maker project I've ever submitted anywhere, so I'm pretty psyched to have put together what I did, even if it's only a tiny little demo. :3

I love your description of RM games :)

However, isn't the decision to release the games to the public up to the game creator? I'd rather not release mine since I used the GIAW to test some gameplay concepts that I want to use in a different game. Can anyone clarify this for me?

If you're only missing the scores of one game and there are two separate categories of games, couldn't you post up whichever category does have all their scores? It may only be half of the overall scores, but it gives us one category winner and something to celebrate while we nag the absent judge to play the missing game already.

Woah! o: I don't really feel I deserve the first place win because I had like ... literally nothing but a little atmosphere. But okie! o:

EDIT: I'm curious as to how many of the judges were 'named' by the game.

I really haven't had time to add on anything since entering due to IGMC, but I did fix a few minor issues with something probably not too many people will come across. Ah well.

Scores updated due to a mathematical error on one of the judges parts. disregard other peoples averages. aquire bacon.

Mainly Luna was actually markedly improved over last time for scoring and due to a math error along the way the final average total did not add up. the error appears to have been solely in calculation of that score but I am double checking all of the math for verification purposes.

Last place?
I'm guessing you all expect me to get mad, to start yelling.
But I'm not.

I just want to say, good job everybody.
The people who got first place deserved it, because they worked hard on their games.

should be 100% there were a couple of minor rounding errors that did not affect positioning.

Oh! OH! :D I'm surprised I actually scored so high, considering how incomplete the game was. Now... it's off to the ongoing projects page with it, so it can get finished. If any of the judges feel like commenting on its flaws, I'd absolutely love it, so I can improve.

Congrats to all the winners! I'm sure you all did awesome. I'm hoping to see some of your projects soon. ^.^

Thank you to all the judges for taking time to judge everyone fairly!

And most of all, thanks to Acolyte for hosting! The contest really helped me jumpstart my game making. It's a great initiative, and you did great. ^.^

It did for me. As a fan of Remember.exe and someone who never gets afraid of horror games, this was a very pleasant surprise, despite a lack of gameplay.

Huh. My score is more disappointing than I hoped, yet I placed higher than I expected given I'm not fond of dungeon crawlers. Well, at least I can finish up the post-contest game and get that uploaded now.

Congratulations to everyone!

Post by: Gaming Princess Luna on July 18, 2015, 06:12:52 PM

Actually positive surprised about the score. :D
4. | Ni Sekai | Gamer Luna | Romance | 4.58

Because I know the hugest issue was about not using the topic at all. :/
It was more a horror game then a romance one. :(
I missed on getting to the romance part, because it was way later in story...
But the mistake was mine again, wanted to do more, then I could. :D

Endmemoria? I like the twist ending, but I think it's possible you lost points if people didn't get it. I was a bit iffy on the game until I got to that point.

What would be a nice gesture, is to give the reviews of the judges too. ;)
That way people know what they did good and what bad.
And to improve would be a lot easier. :D

I got a really detail review by Legacy, which I had to agree with. :)
My hugest issue this year was, that I picked romance and it turned out as a horror game, because I didn't get far enough to the story to actually add the romance. :D (\s/)
