RTP-Only Challenge!

[IAMFORTE]

What about cobbling together rtp tilesets from the same maker? To make a larger tileset, does it still count as an imported resource?

That's fine. Nothing wrong with that, because the tilesets are already a part of the maker's RTP. :p As long as the tilesets aren't edited, I have no problem with anyone tacking some of their maker's RTP ones together.

EDIT: I just realized, when we give our game to the person judging it, it'll only be like 10mb.

Good. B(

If we get enough people to complete their games, we may figure out some form of reviewing/judging/whatever. But right now, this is more for teh funz. Not really a contest.

[Sophist]

I don't think i've ever put this much work into an rm game before.

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

I don't think i've ever put this little work into an rm game before.

[Yeyinde]

Why not?  Put me in too!

[Lige]

I'll join as well.

[yuyu!]

[yuyu!]

Yo stoopid brother...
He don't even want to understand.

Sign me up please

One question though: For those who's going to use RMXP, there is only
one title screen to use in the RTP. Are we allowed to graphics from
the Ace-RTP to make one? And I guess we are allowed to add text to the
title screen?

You know what? Why not. :p It's really unfair for VX and XP that they don't have that wide variety of title screens. So, if using VX or XP, yes, you can use some of the VXAce title screens.

As for any other resources (for the other makers)...I'm not sure, yet. But title screens are fair.

And I guess we are allowed to add text to the
title screen?

I admit that I've been frustrated with the VXAce option to "include title text", because the text is white and is only easy to read on a few title backgrounds.

Still, I'm not so sure on this one. I wanted to keep things as close to the RTP as possible. Any other opinions on this? =o

[bluntsword]

want.

so.

bad.

want.

[yuyu!]

join usssssssssssssssssss

[bluntsword]

I may have to join.

It's futile to resist.

[yuyu!]

(:

I can sign you up and you can always withdraw if you're not up to it. Though it's not timed or anything, so it don't matter. xD

[yuyu!]

Also, just so we're clear: parallax mapping is also off-limits.

Even if you're using the RTP, it's still technically importing. The point is to use what the maker gives you, so everyone is challenged to make the best game that they can with what the maker gives you.

How about eventing?

[Gaming Princess Luna]

I got one simple question, is it allowed to recolor original RTP graphics? (\s/)
There is an other good question too, is it allowed to show pictures in game?
Because it's an option in every single RPG Maker.

[Sophist]

My game is actually coming along nicely. I'll actually finish one, for once.

[Gaming Princess Luna]

Well, if recoloring isn't allowed, which I don't know, so this will be my two heroines.

For all you people asking "Does this count?" for your resource questions, I have a simple question to ask in turn. Does your game have to include something, ANYTHING, in the graphics/audio folders that has to be downloaded from you?

If you said yes, then that's not RTP-only. That's editing, customization, whatever you want to call it. We're going by exactly what's given to you from the start, where another person can copy only the data folder (script data not included) and be able to play your game perfectly. This means no pictures, no re-colors (unless it's in-game tinting, which is actually just eventing rather than editing resources), no extra scripts, no nothin'. That's the RTP challenge, to use only the RTP defaults.

Thanks, that answers my question, by the way I downloaded nothing, I'm using this time the RPG Maker XP. The tinting is bad in it because it changes the skin color too. That's why I asked about if paint is allowed to recolor, but I understand it's not and it's fine. I really can do some stuff with what is given.

[Ryosis]

I have nothing better to do, so count me in. Hopefully work won't get in the way again.

[yuyu!]

How about eventing?

You can event to your heart's content. In fact, that's one of the magical qualities of this challenge. So many people don't realize how far eventing can go. Many times, you don't even need scripts, if you have enough eventing skillz. That's the beauty of the maker.

My game is actually coming along nicely. I'll actually finish one, for once.

(: Good to hear! I've always admired your writing skills. B) Should be an interesting game.

I'll add you to the list.

[Dr. Mc]

nothing is to be imported, because then its not RTP-only. You can go nuts with what is in the game though.

[cozziekuns]

So can we use RTP Graphics from a different maker? Say I was using VX Ace and I wanted to use some XP Graphics.

Also, I'm in.
