Indie in a Week 2!

[AtlasAtrium 5]

i might have to think about entering for real next time then

[Tarq 746]

Its up to you, ofc, but even if you do it quarterly instead of bi-monthly it'll reduce the pressure on yourself by a third (four comps a year instead of six). Otherwise, its a lotta time you're going to have to spend judging and could be costly if you want to keep providing prizes.

[Thejaxinator 106]

Well my Laptop is breaking i won't ever quit i will keep going intill the end if i don't get my game done then that's that

[philteredkhaos 131]

Awww... you guys... come on. Don't quit...  

 

Sorry to you all that things are catching you off guard. And get the heck outta here, RL, this is the Internetz! Hope you all have a happy holiday at least.

Question: Am I allowed to have personal friends playtest the game, or does that go against the "No teams" policy? Also, during this contest my VX Ace hours pushed over the 600 mark. Holy bananas.

Welp, here's my 'unofficial' contest submission Under the Tree created in like, what, three days? :U

I'll drop out, too~

Though I'll work on it sometime. Maybe next indie of the week I'll do better.

[Loriesquare 203]

I'm not sure if I'll make it in time... Again. XD

I writing everything by myself from scratch - from title, menus to gameplay and so far I have nearly all menus complete.

 

So... Besides unique (but possibly bad) menus/gameplay, I don't have anything to offer. =P

Heh, same here. Although in my case there's almost no gameplay...

 

Mine is safe, since it has nothing to Christmas, but just to Winter Holidays.

Mine is so safe it may as well be not about the theme anymore. XD

 

Progress screenshots time!

Menus are programmed, so I can start writing the gameplay. =3

 

-screenshots snip-

 

I love designing menus. =3

Whoa you're fast.

Yeah, that's already really fast compared to me... X_X

 

Aw balls, everyone is quitting. =<

I might quit too, if my whole game from the start isn't magically completed tomorrow. Which is likely.

So in that case I'll drop off at the last moment. And maybe become a judge. But it might be too late to become one.

 

Next time I'll focus on thinking up of really simple art styles. And story. Those take the most time. XD

(Should've went with black and white for the art style...)

---

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday to me.

The Today's birthdays seem to be broken again, however.

[+ Crescent 474]

Are we able to release demos and not completed games? I don't think I'll be able to complete the game in time for the contest but I can release a 1 hour demo if acceptable.

Indie In A Week 2 The Game Is Ready when i get back in a few hours i will link to the gamejolt

[philteredkhaos 131]

Gamejolt! I was just going to recommend you set up some Jams on there whenever you feel like sponsoring one.

 

Edit: Errr... not you, Jaxinator. I mix you and Jackus up sometimes haha

Well... so far I don't have any gameplay either - it is about to be programmed. =P

 

 

Whoa you're fast.

Well, I don't think it's much, because they're just some pictures with some scripting. At the moment the game is not even playable, just base menus and such.

The challenging part is about to begin. (programming elements and their hitboxes. . . We meet again.)

Nuuuu, you can't. The one, who will be late is me. To be honest I have no idea if I'll be in time or not. (Perhaps I shouldn't start working on my game 2-3 days after the start XD)

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday to me.

The Today's birthdays seem to be broken again, however.

*gasp* Happy birthday!!! =3 =3 =3

Yes. You can let someone else test and give feedback, it's not quite the same as a collab.

(Wow really?)

I might, but I have no honest idea what Gamejolt even is. I get that you upload games, but I dunno much else.

 

 

There was sommething important I wanted to say, but I can't remember :/

[philteredkhaos 131]

I am not sure how it works. I was looking into it to upload games, but I see they advertise a lot of "Host your own Jam" or some such. Here's a link.

Hoping I can get my eventing done for my game! Got most of my maps done, though I have space to make 1 more if I find the time. Fingers crossed it isn't too broken  upon release.

 

Does this contest end on the 8th at the same time it started on the 1st? as in, at 11 am local time on dec. 1 it started for me, does it end at the same time?

[Seriel 830]

Yep.

If in doubt check here -> http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/calendar/event/9-indie-in-a-week-2-game-making-period/

[Thejaxinator 106]

Wait there is 7 days a week why 8 in the contest?

[Seriel 830]

Wait there is 7 days a week why 8 in the contest?

1 + 7 = 8

 

Starts on the first,, add 7 days, you get the eighth.

[magic2345 252]

Oh, that went by really quickly, took me by surprise. Sadly, I'll have to bail out of the competition. :'[

 

I still can't wait to play the entries you guys made though.

 

See you guys on the third Indie in a Week!

[Rikifive 3,411]

(Got bored of typing that, so I've created a MEME XD)

 

Everyone is quitting...

Yeah, the time is really going fast. I'll better start working on mine or I'll meet the same fate.

[Seriel 830]

Right, I remmeber now.

 

Note for MV users:

MV games, can be hosted on a website, and played through a browser. While i'm not stopping you from doing that, please provide a downloadable zip or something else for the judges to play. There are many reasons for this, the main one being that the way I can tell whether you've updated after the deadline won't work.

You can host on a website, just make sure you include a downloadable version which will be judged.

 

To export to Windows:

 

From the File menu, select Deployment.

 

From there, select Windows. Change the output location if you want to.

 

Your game will now export..

 

Once that is done, go to the output folder (By default its C:\Users\NAME\Documents\Output)

Locate your game. Then Right Click it. Go Send To -> Compressed (Zipped) folder

 

You may compress as a rar or self extracting exe if you want. As long as it's a single file.

 

Please keep in mind that MV cannot encrypt resources. If this is a problem, i'm sorry. It's a limitation of MV sadly.

Thats It I Am Done This Is My Game
Check the credits for a no Reason Given Boss Battle

Edited December 6, 2015 by thejaxinator

[Rikifive 3,411]

Ahaha, I just made some silly graphics. XD

 

Oh this game will be definitely silly. ( Í¡áµ” ͜ʖ Í¡áµ” )

 

Either I'll finish that game in time and you'll be able to see all of this (and probably laugh), or I'll just hide that game in a cave. =3

Jaxinator before you shoot yourself in the foot with this one:

 

Game-breaking bug(s)

-Trying to enter the Market will cause you to become permanently stuck

-Autorun text loop after 'working on the game' a bunch of times

I was unable to open the game at all. At first it told me I was missing "VL Gothic", which I managed to fix, but after that it was missing the graphics for the title screen. I have the VX Ace RTP, so I found that weird.

I ran into the same issue actually, so I assumed it was a problem on my end and just slapped the rtp into the game folder. Weird. . .
