A: Finishing times are 3 days after start, but submission times are local to each member, so it gives plenty of time for people to submit (and not be left out).

Q: Can I use/edit premade assets that I made?

A: If you have premade stuff you'd like to use/edit, that's fine, just don't edit them prior to the contest.

5 is the max, I might judge them all if I have to, lol. 2-3 is fine, just send me a PM if you wanna judge.

[Nyuuchan353 147]

Bump.

 

This is open to non-forum members as well, so spread the word if you can through skype, discord, or other means.

[Nyuuchan353 147]

Bump.

 

Hoping we don't have to cancel this a second time!

I was considering entering since Im off work during the weekend and was wanting to try a short christmas-y thing.

I'm in if some others care to jump in~

[Seriel 830]

Oh what the heck, its over the weekend so count me in. I'll make some Glory Quest-esque thing but with a bit more time, don't expect much

[Nyuuchan353 147]

That's five, I'm comfortable with that if no one else comes in by tomorrow at noon (CST).

[Nirwanda 323]

Hey contest started, peeps! I hope I don't end up last place like the other time. Though I'm not sure, as I'm going non traditional, like in the previous IBN so...who knows?

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

Oh snap, I didn't know it had started.

"hastily opens RPGM and sloppily throws a game together*

[Nyuuchan353 147]

Sorry I wasn't on to announce the start. I'll be judging the entries, so please make sure your links are valid, wherever you choose to upload them.

My games only half finished so once you get to the ruins area, there's nothing after the first "puzzle".

 

The game focuses on a character from my ToE series, Marina.

A child from the village wants to get her mother a special gift for Snowday (Christmas) but can't find anything in her secluded village. After reading about a mystical stone within the Sacred Ruins, Tali runs off to try and get this stone for her mother. Marina has to set out to bring her back, fending off the Fiends that have infested there home.

-----

The ending is missing, but basically;

Spoiler

Marina finds Tali in the ruins hiding from the fiends. Whilst they try to escape however, the Ice Spirit is awakened and they end up in a "final boss battle" moement. After they defeat the boss, Tali finds an empty altar and some shards of crystal lying around. Whatever was there, is gone now. (in my main game, this is the "water crystal" that had shattered and causes alot of problems in the main game xD). Arriving back at the village, Tali's mother hugs her in joy and scolds her for running off like that. Tali cries and apologises as the credits roll.

Ughh i misread and thought the contest ended on 18th 11:59 so i procrastinated

My idea wasn't all that good anyway....

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

Just submit what uve done so far 😋 i never got much done either haha.

 

I also thought last night was the deadline but u ha e until tonight to submit it.

[RavenBlueIndigo 121]

http://www.mediafire.com/file/aiso2s4eg767jt3/WinterRush+V01.exe I have done it! Made a lil, simple Oregon Trail inspired game. I wasn't able to balance it very well, however, so it's very hard to survive >_>(Which I want it to be, but maybe a lil too hard atm.) Also, there are some known bugs: Can't buy water, can turn at igloos, and I think something else that I forgot? May come to me. Anyway, enjoy~

 

EDIT: Feel free to report any bugs you come across.

Okay guys! Let's get the other two entries submitted! You have 24 hours from the time of this post to get your post submitted!

 

12:49AM Central Time! (GMT -6)

Oh poopie. I think I'm DQ'd actually Nyuu.

I used the "child generator" for MV, (faces, sprites, ect.) but I think that was actually a DLC from the Season Pass DLC...

Not sure if that's counted as using "DLC content".

 

Everything else is RTP edited though.

I'll let it slide, since it's technically self-created assets.

Submissions are closed! I will judge the entries submitted.

[Nyuuchan353 147]

Reviewing the games now, results will be posted on the 23rd, and prizes will be awarded Christmas Eve, before midnight, CST.

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

I completely forgot about prizes haha.

No worries Nyuu, hope everythings working well~ 

 

Was there anything wrong with my submission by chance? Last time I entered IiaW my dropbox messed up and broke the game, so just checking you got everything ok.

Everything is going well. Your entry is working fine, I'll let you know in your results if I found any bugs.

[Nyuuchan353 147]

RESULTS!

Notes: Overall, fine, though I did notice a bit an odd deal w/ the snow effects. They would continue from the town to the forest, then once you entered the house and then exit, it would vanish. Not sure if this was intentional or overlooked, but for someone who would play and not go back to town, they'd likely never notice.

 

Snowing indoors? Lol.

 

Score: 7.5/10

 

RavenBlueIndigo

 

Notes: Text was way too small. I run on a 1366x726 screen, and the default box window wasn't kind to your text and font. Could barely make out anything as the game played. Not sure where you get cash from, as I was offered stuff twice, and couldn't afford anything. Interesting concept though.

 

Score: 6/10

 

Please see me in Discord for your prizes.

Takeo gets 2 steam games from a pool of 6 games.

Raven gets 1 game from the remaining games.
