Project of the Month

And for December, the winner is HowlingWinds, for the project Wings of Eternia. Everyone congratulate HowlingWinds for his excellent work.

ANd for the first POTM of the new year, the winner is Nessiah, for Seraphim Project. Everyone congratulate Nessiah on an excellent project.

ANd sorry for the late update.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY go ness 

homepaged :x

Thanks Nouman!

OK, so I totally suck at this job. Nessiah chose February's winner about a month and a half ago, and it totally slipped my mind. So:


February - Legend of Vanadia, by Aten

Everyone congratulate Aten on an excellent project. I will probably leave it up a week into March to make up for the time I stole.

And for March, the Project of the Month is maxteam01's Monster World RPG.

I know, I know, I'm late all the time now. This is again, my fault only. I had intended to leave it to the 7th or so to make up for lost time to Aten, but I forgot about it even then. On a plus note, I will be making a new banner to replace the old one

Anyway, go congratulate maxteam01 for an excellent project

OK, also: New Banner created. As with the old one, it is a compilation of screens from a number of the PotMs; If any of the makers of the games do not wish a screen of theirs included in the banner, please just contact me and I will take it down.

To commemorate the 2 year anniversary of Project of the Month, I have put up a poll for Project of the Year! Please vote at: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,32524.0.html

Alright, new project of the month has just been chosen! FCM¹ has chosen:


April - Legend of Zelda: Necklace of Elements, by LinkMasTer

Finally! Everyone congratulate LinkMasTer for a fantastic looking game!

¹ FCM is another member of the Monster World RPG team. maxteam01 has been busy, and so he chose FCM as his proxy.

I edited the first post to fix my game's title in the list

also gratz, that project deserves it.

And the Project of the Month is:


May - Final Fantasy: The Phoenix Prophecies, by madriel222

Everyone congratulate madriel222 for an excellent game. I'm very happy that LinkMasTer picked this excellent project.

I was thinking about quitting this project, too.  Thanks LinkMasTer

Oh, please don't stop. It looks great! I only wish there were more 2k3 users on the forum to appreciate it

Another month is fast approaching, and this time we have a poll. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,33296.0.html

The excellent candidates are:

Fall of the Living: First Outbreak, by ChainsawMelody

Final Fantasy V-II: Sacred Chains, by Tezuka

Nora's Dragon Stories, by Japur

The Order of the Marten, by joy

World Crafters, by maia/tons of other people.


Best of luck to all of the candidates! Please visit the poll to vote for your favourites among these fine choices:

Just out of curiosity, who nominates the topics if the other person doesn't respond?

Sorry, I fixed the link to WorldCrafters

@Falcon - I do. Which is lame, because I can't nominate Deira because of conflict of interest

Didn't expect it to be nominated anyways.

In the future, let's have a topic where people can nominate games.

Shoot, those are all so good... I'm actually fine with any of them getting it.

Oh, and the World Crafters link takes me to Anima (Still a great project, but I'm pretty sure it's finished).

Is it being finished a bad thing? A POTM can be both projects in production and already completed projects.

That makes sense. And yeah, being finished is a bad thing. That means there's no more awesomeness to look forward to But all the awesomeness is there, so I guess it's fine.

Didn't expect it to be nominated anyways.

In the future, let's have a topic where people can nominate games.

If we did that, it'd be like two weeks before the project actually gets picked, there'd be a dozen projects to choose from, and the results would be like 4-4-4-3-3-3-2-2-1-1-0-0. I don't think RMRK has enough interest in the PotM to do user-nominated candidates. Besides, my ego likes picking the topics.

Though, there are actually some projects I wish I had put up this time around.

If we did do it, we'd need to set some rules, like any can be nominated, but they need to be seconded or something. There might be a way to do it fairly and where it would make sense. Feel free to suggest a method in the PotM topic. I'm happy enough to consider ways to do it as long as we can assure that bad games don't have the opportunity to win and the poll isn't gigantic.

And yeah, there's no rule against Finished Projects. Five previous PotMs were finished at the time of their selection. I was going to put up a couple this time around, but given the limited number of projects I could put up, I decided not to put up anybody who had previously won a PotM.

if the person who won POTM doesn't respond by the last week of the month, then the community can nominate 5 games.

the first 5 to be nominated and seconded are put on the poll for the next POTM.

This would also give people more time to scout out the projects, rather than hastily voting at the beginning of the month.

how's that sound?

I don't like the first five games thing. It wouldn't be hard for really shitty games to be the first five nominated. I thijnk there needs to be some quality control. The rest seems alright.

Have RMRK+ decide what games to vote on in the future.

That's a good idea. Maybe that's what we'll do then. I'm still hesitant about first five projects no questions asked though. Maybe we can have a system that if two or three people oppose the nomination of a candidate then it is removed. In any case, it doesn't happen all that often, so maybe I am over-evaluating the necessity for strict conditions.

And the winner is... The Order of the Marten, by joy

Everyone congratulate her on a great looking game!
