NAM's VX Challenge

[Nightwolf]

I have a fair amount of mapping done. Who knows? I might actually be able to finish this

The judging guidelines look pretty good. To reduce bias, it might be a good idea to distribute the games anonymously, just in case. Though, I'm sure all of the judges are trustworthy so that's not necessary.

Trustworthy

Funny you should use that word.
*wipes sweat*

[modern algebra]

that's fine, 'call script' is perfectly legal.

That makes things easy tyvm^^

That's so awesome... So, the only scripting that is disallowed is scripting in the editor. Fantastic.

Trustworthy

lol

[Irock]

[Kokowam]

[Revo]

Bleh, I'm dropping out. I got 2 papers due soon so I won't be able to finish in time. College foils me yet again.

[Wolfram77]

Dropping out... too much schoolwork

[MrMoo]

You should have started the contest mid March, around the 20th or something. Most people will have march break then. Well, as you can probably tell a lot of people aren't going to finish and dropping out.
Chances are I won't either, however I'm not going to drop out. I'll hand in enough content for judging and release a complete version after if I have to.

[HowlingWinds]

I'm out as well. Nothing creative is coming to mind and I have only like 2mins worth of gameplay. Though this did give me my drive back to work on my own game.

[Kebin]

I actually have a full blown story for this lol.

I won't be dropping out because I'm not a pussy. And I have to work a lot next week.

you're one that I expected to stick it out.

[Nightwolf]

Thats a lot of drop outs and "I may not be able to"s
It actually makes the competition easier and less competitve but..


less fun too ;-;

Game Info
Type: Social Sim/Dungeon Crawler
Length: Easily 1 hour. Enough for judgment I'd guess.
Credits: Just me, MrMoo.

Characters
Protagonist
You're a small female who is quite and only talks when spoken to mostly. She doesn't remember anything before the day she awakes from a dream explaining her current purpose. Her job is to solve a mystery going on at her school in seven nights or less, or else it'll be too late.

Carolyn
A sort of tsundere character, she has her hot and cold moments. She talks a lot (usually as your mouthpiece because you're silent) and has a strong interest in boys and relationships. She suddenly becomes interested in the mysterious deaths at her school, to the point where she forms an investigative team composed of you, her, and three other guys.

James
A shy and solitary boy, James keeps mostly to himself. If there was ever a need to talk, he would usually only answer with 3 words or less. As time goes on, he grows out of this habit due to his new found friends.

Keil
Brother of Carolyn, he is considered a nerdy geek by most people due to his study habits. However, in person he is definitely a more social type of person. Despite being teased by his sister constantly, Keil loves his sister more than his parents because of their life in boarding schools.

Ramses
A huge, thuggish looking guy who seems like all he cares about is sports. Ramses is usually called an idiot by other people, but soon after becoming friends with the rest of the team, he reveals his much more normal side.

So this game is incomplete. Despite being called seven nights, think of it as three nights. Too much time trying to compact so much content into a 15 day project didn't help. But I'll complete it if people like it, or add it into my current project as a side quest.
Anyways, if this project needs to be out in a separate thread, feel free to split it.

Moo, please don't post links to your game in this topic.
I said to PM me.

I removed the links.  Thank you for submitting.

edit: as to why, I would rather the games not be released until their judging is complete, so taht the community doesn't pressure teh judges by posting about the games.  I hope you understand.

All other contestants please abide by this rule.  Posting about your game is fine, but do not post links in public just yet.

edit; try to have the judging done within 5 days or so, to keep things rolling.

[Irock]

Judged 7 Nights.

[Nessiah]

Won't make it sorry!
Just too busy with school ;_;

[Ocean]

Ah, 2 days left. I know I'll have something out, but too bad I can't go and have the complete game, but I never planned to even get as far as I am now. So yeah, not quitting, you'll have something from me unless something really unexpected comes up. I just wonder how I'll do compared to the others.

[tSwitch]

Won't make it sorry!

[modern algebra]

Oh, dear. It's so close. I will see if I can find the time to finish it.

[tSwitch]
