The "Twelve Days of Resources" Contest

[Zylos]

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:

• Submissions will be allowed up until 11:59:59 PM on December 17th in your respective timezone. You've got until then to build and post your resources, so you'd better hurry~
• You are allowed to create any type of resource you wish, as long as it is usable in some version of RPG Maker. Examples include but are not limited to: sprites, icon, tilesets, battler graphics, facesets, animations, backgrounds/parallaxes, music, sound effects, even scripts. Just as long as it is a usable resource, meaning that half-done sprites or photographs of your prom will be tossed out.
• If you decide create a script, please save it in a readable .txt format for downloading convenience.
• You may submit up to 25 resources of any type and at any time, meaning that you could post two sprites today and four icons tomorrow if you wanted to. You may not submit more than 25 at most though. It'd look kinda silly anyway if there was a voting poll with nothing but your name on it.
• It must be a new resource rather than something already made. Something that was finished even before the start of the contest will obviously be disqualified.
• Editing existing resources is technically allowed, but it must be enough of a change to be accepted as a new piece and it must comply with any conditions set by the original creator (such as providing credit, non-commercial, and so forth). Santa's secret helpers will be reviewing each piece to determine whether it's original enough to be allowed or if it should be disqualified.
• You may post resources for other people instead of yourself, if you have their permission and they don't have an RMRK account of their own. The resource must still be a new one though rather than something old from their gallery.
• For our ease in separating the resources, please submit each resource as an individual file as opposed to one lump sum of an image. Facesets or tilesets are an obvious exception as they're meant to be bundled.

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

[IAMFORTE]

[cozziekuns]

[modern algebra]

Yes.

[Gracie]

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS MEIN CAPTEIN GAVE TO ME

3 Pretty Gift Boxes!



They match perfectly with the RTP items!

[Zylos]

Just to clarify, they don't have to be Christmas themed, although it's still awesome if you do.

Mein Captein is the first, who will be next?

[haloOfTheSun]

You know what? I think I'll do a piece of music for this.

[IAMFORTE]

I will submit, 15 guns a shooting!

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!

I guess everything I make for O can be entered. I don't expect to win with Halo and Malson in the mix, but it's all for fun and helping the community.

[cozziekuns]

I will submit a little gift in the form of a VX Script I translated for Ace:



Plans to submit a script each day. Doubt it'll work out though.

[pacdiggity]

I'll be musicing and scripting throughout ;o
I'm out of school next week, so I'll have plenty of time to upstage youse all.

[yuyu!]

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.

Personally I don't have a problem with it.

[yuyu!]

Personally I don't have a problem with it.

Alright, thank you. I'll try my best.

EDIT:

Made a Female Knight. Gonna attach her to this post because I don't want to double post. Nyah.

[Zylos]

Just to confirm, both attachments are submissions from you, right? XD

[yuyu!]

Just to confirm, both attachments are submissions from you, right? XD

Yessir! If you want, I can make them all into one post with spoilers tags. That may give me a feeling of organization. xD I'm starting to feel like it will get confusing...

[Zylos]

Nah, we'll handle it after the deadline. Just wanted to double check with you.

[cozziekuns]

Another simple script, this time for VX:



Requires Modern Algebra's lovely Item Instances Base script, and his Random Stat Variance for Items is highly recommended.

[yuyu!]

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

As for me, I've got my 3rd submission (I'm going to try to do at least one a day - if that's alright).

I give the resources a Male Knight this time ~

[Zylos]

Only a little more than a week to go now!

[IAMFORTE]

Wait what, i ahve so many thigns to do before i can breathe and submit resources : O

*EDIT* wait i finish on teh 15th, 3 days to bust my but contribooting!

[yuyu!]

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.
