Ms Littlefish · 2023-11-24T23:00:30+0900

Let's spice up the holiday season! Your challenge, should you accept, it is to make a short Christmas-themed game in any Maker engine sold in the Komodo store. The game is meant to be short, so don't overdo it with the plugins and the systems! The point of the contest is to finish something short, fun, and ~sweet~ just in time for Christmas. NOTE: This event is graciously hosted by Wind Ryder dev, @TESTOSTERONE and is being overseen by myself (Ms Littlefish) and a few of the other RMW moderators (@hiddenone and @bgillisp ).

We tried to translate this and got, "I eat orange pencils.” Maybe we need to go back to Goblin 101?

I'm joining this! I love game jams and I'm so glad to have caught this post early on. If my game does well, I might even make it into a longer game after this is over.

@TRIDIUM Remember young squire, options are King. But…I’m going to hazard a guess that we all have a mouse. XD

Alright, there's just a mechanic that kinda requires it. Yo can play the rest with a keyboard. And yes, there are rebindable keys, because I've been assimilated by the Nolan Borg.

It's a ready-to-go plugin that comes with your the RPG Maker engine purchase. You just COPY AND PASTE IT INTO YOUR GAME PLUGINS FOLDER!

Mouse is allowed, however mine is without cable. In case of emergency, he also prays to Cheesus.

I have decided.
In order to honor Ms. Littlefish's pfp holiday law, I will now create one more pixelart sprite for every holiday.
It's an easy and fun way to make more sprites for my game.

I know this is off-topic, but I just wanted to share what I'll be doing for a while.

You mean I can't use the newest and best maker engine, RM Unite?

Wow I wasn't sure I'd be able to come up with a cool game idea that would fit in all the given criteria but after a lot of brainstorming, I finally have an idea!
Let's GOOOOO!
