"What Have You Gotten Done Today?" wept at my stunning lack of activity. can't finish a game when you work like I do, ladies and gentlemen.

Happy Days Are Here Again! The FBI reopened their investigation into Hillary Clinton because her CLOSEST AIDE had classified materials on her HOME COMPUTER! Huma Abedeen's (Hillary Clinton's closest aide) husband is being investigated for sending sexually explicit messages to a 15 year old girl with full knowledge that she is in High School. The DA who investigated the pervert discovered a trove of Hillary/Classified emails! Obama also cancelled 12 scheduled campaign appearances after this came to light! How much longer will you tolerate the criminal behaviour? Hillary Clinton's emails, leaked by WikiLeaks, state unequivocally that Saudi Arabia FUNDS ISIS along with Qatar! She was also recored on tape talking about how holding elections for Palestinians was a bad idea, and they should have arranged the voting so they could engineer a winner (Rig the election). This is getting HUGE! Maybe, finally, we can get a trial for the accused and let the chips fall where they may. It's not fair that she should be allowed to avoid prison time, when people who have done far less got much more severe punishments.

70% want a month long contest... Are you going to make it happen? I would set it up myself, but I want to be a contestant.

Back in my day, nobody was born. I and my lady friend were the first 2 entities to come into existence. back when you all were just a twinkle in the galaxy's cosmic eye.

I didn't procrastinate, I just bit off more than I could chew. *face palm* I would be VERY interested in a month long contest. The 1 week thing was just too short for me. I almost had a nervous breakdown before I said "F it! It's being pushed out in it's current form! (I lost my internet connection and had to upload a day early while I was at the library.) I feel embarrassed by my submission.

I hereby humbly submit this design: I just don't know what size it is supposed to be. LMK. (Actually going to make some minor edits in the next day. Add an owl and shorten a branch.)

Hey Jackus, could you add a note about controller support with my DL link? I really want people to know they can enjoy it with a controller... Congrats everyone, I played some interesting games this morning, and if the files aren't too big, I'll be playing more. Good luck! Also, Jackus, I never did see if you put the scoring criteria up. I have been keenly interested in the 60 points for some time now.

I am going to spend the next hour trying out your games.... They better be worth it! I'm just teasing. It's not like I just spent an hour passively in front of a television screen. Edit: Sorry, I don't mean to make exceptions, but I have 1/7 of a 56k modem (8 KB/S Down! Woot!) so the 200+ MB files are NOT going to be enjoyed by me tonight... sorry. @Jackus: Hey, you never did lay out your criteria for scoring. You mention in the OP a couple of times that you will soon, but I haven't seen them yet.

My Masterpiece Play as a lost dove exploring a spooky and mysterious island just north of some Sub-Antarctic islands on behalf of some quirky penguins. Features: You can fly! Controller support! Around 10 minutes of game! 2 Endings! Silly non-traditional RM Game! Custom Faces! 1 Big Parallax Map! (Among other, less exciting maps...) I didn't do everything I wanted to do, but I feel like it came out really good. (PS The credits ARE included, Jackus...) Also, please be aware that if you have an Xbox 360 controller or other such USB gamepad, it should be supported by my game. I know for a fact that the Xbox 360 controller works for me.

Will I be dinged on points or lose points if I forget/don't have time to include a credit screen in the first upload of my game? I have a very poor internet connection (I can't upload from home) so I need to go to the library to upload and with me crunching for time, I don't know if I will be able to put credit list in my first upload, but I could certainly put one with my post.

Progress reports! Yeah! Actors: 98% Classes: N/A Skills: N/A Weapons:N/A Armors: N/A Items: N/A Enemies: N/A Troops: N/A Animations: 10% Tilesets: 100% Common Events: 100% Mapping (I'm not the only one using maps, am I? ): 33% (1 complete, and between 50-80% complete for the rest. Ah yeah! Going strong! It doesn't have to be an RPG does it???

Heh...I thought I had read something about "The game should be at least 5 mins in length" Thanks for the info! I'm out!

I had 2 questions, but one escaped and I am down to 1... I am making a game with at least 2 endings: does 2 playthroughs add up toward the 5 minute mark, or should it be a 5 minute game for each run? Does this make sense? Like, if one playthrough for a bad ending takes 3 1/2 mins, and the other playthrough takes about 3 1/2 mins, would these 2 collectively, at 7 minutes, count towards the goal, or should I make both options an equal 5+ mins? I really wish I could remember the other question... maybe it will come back to me.

Come on, Sunday! I haven't been working with my RPG Maker for the last few days since I don't wanna feel burnout before I start...

I use MediaFire, but I'm a contrarian... At least nobody suggested Microsoft's BS. @Jackus I told you I'd be the guy asking for niche clarifications, and I am back with another one: Last December I had somebody make a script for me for another game, and I have come across a situation in ANOTHER non-IIAW project that needs the exact function I want written into this script to use it for IIAW5. Is this a violation of the rules? I.E. I ask another user to add functionality to a script that this person has already authored, for both my IIAW game and my non-IIAW game. Does this make sense?

Welcome, Ship-Jumpers! Glad to see you made it over for IIAW5. This is getting pretty huge, Jackus. Do you think it'll reach 2x as many as the last previous record? I think it could....

Hurray! I have the most rudimentary of web connections again! The problem is, the internet tends to be a huge distraction for me. Where as before, I would write down what I needed and use my limited time online to find it, I now dabble and dink around wherever and waste time on myriad websites across the internet. Oh well, I also have direct access to information when I need it, like tutorials for GIMP that I can't seem to get to work for me, no matter how simple. Boy, I love GIMP. :| Having internet again, means I have almost completed most of my website. I still have a few placeholders for things (the old "coming soon" or "under construction" bit.) but I will replace those in an update in the near future. I always bite off more than I can chew, and currently I am chewing the bug hunt in my first ever started project, I am working on another project which I hope to have a demo for by December, I am making a trailer for said game which I hope to have done in a few days, and I am honestly debating whether or not to jump into IIAW5. I shouldn't... but I might. I like making contest games, especially short ones. We'll see what the topic is, and then I'll decide. HURRY UP, JACKUS! We have been waiting all day! Heh. I just found out today that using software to edit your finished games to have YOUR ICON is within acceptable use for the EULA! Woot! That was very pleasant news, along with a very talented scripter helping me basically add a function to give the player a number of lives! Anyways, work goes steadily. I get more and more done, but the urge to dump it all and play video games is very strong. I've been enjoying Party Hard a lot more than I had initially thought I would from the trailer. Somehow it ended up in my Steam library (probably a bundle I had bought) and I figured I'd give it a go. It's been pretty fun. \ How about you guys? Getting any work done? Trailers cut and websites launched? Games polished? Steam games that are just begging you to play them over working? Yeah, I know. I know. Anyways, thats all for this week. Hopefully I can post something again this time next week. and hopefully I will have a game, a website and a trailer to advertise shamelessly. See you all back here next time!

Thanks, Knighterius! The slack takes hold of me and tells me Steam games are more fun and less like work. Then I agree and go play games. I really need to stop that. However, now, my new excuse for the next few days is I don't want to get burned out before IIAW V! Speaking of, are you joining the contest? Have you finished a demo for Twin Souls??? (Are you still working on it?)
