Yes. I accidentally typed in the wrong spot. Doh!

Not erotic, right? o_o

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.

[Karo Rushe]

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.

[Legacy]

Can you switch me to judge on the main page? I'm still listed as a person making an easy mode mystery game.

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

I kept you there because you didn't sound sure.
You've now been switched over. :)

[Gaming Princess Luna]

Not erotic, right? o_o

No just romance, nothing more.
I watched through all the participants and nobody picked, so I will try to make one.
Even I'm somewhat sure it's a try. (\s/)

Right on! Thank you for clarifying that!

Going with your earlier "I hope I don't get last place" statement, I would just like to remind you and everyone that entering these contests is always worth a try. At the very least, you learn a lot from this experience.

If I asked first if I'm allowed for erotic and it said no, then I accept that.

That's right, even I do terrible, I would still learn some stuff from the contest. (\s/)

*EDIT*
One little question, am I allowed to do YouTube videos or Livestream the project I'm working on? /)

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.

Collectively we have a bunch of steam keys for various stuff, but I wasn't sure what was still valid or not. I'll start a dialogue with some of the rmrk advanced people.

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/)

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

Sorry. We appeared to have had a mixup at reception.
I'm going to have to speak to somebody about this.
Your call is very important to us, please stay on the line.

Thank you for holding.
I spoke to the head forum foreman, everything should be cleared up.
Thank you for calling RMRK customer service.

If it helps or you need more, I have a bunch of Steam keys for things as well that I'm happy to contribute towards prizes.

Might sound a bit weird coming from someone involved in the contest, I guess, but just trying to help out

[Sophist]

So I guess week one has started

[Sophist]

so good luck everybody

[Sophist]

 

[exhydra]

Starting!

What could this be ...

[Little Psycho]

I somehow almost finished mine already... Took me only a few days!! Got to polish and bug-check everything
(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

[Sophist]

Uh, the first official start date for anyone is supposed to be today .-.

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

It's ok. They were approved.

Any way I'd like to enter but it would always at least give me 2 days less to finish

If I were to enter I wish I could start 11th and end 17th of June!!!

I'll allow it.
