March 15th__________________________________________________________________________________________Topic: Reality-on-the-NormThis month's guidelines were set by Hobo, Peder, Atavismus, Jonas
Hey! It's the
15th anniversary of Reality-on-the-Norm this month! Y'all know what that means? It's time for a Reality-on-the-Norm Monthly Adventure Game Studio competition or
RotNMAGS (not to be confused with rotten mags)!
Since the whole RoN universe can be a bit overwhelming for non-RoNers and new community members, the competition is not limited to RoN projects only and
all other games are also very welcome as long as they are somehow related or include a reference to the RON universe (for example an in-game character is making a RoN game, there's a RoN poster on the wall etc.)
Rules summary:- Make a RoN game or a game that has a RoN reference in it
- You can (but don't have to) use all the available
RoN resources- Join the anniversary celebration and dress for the occasion (optional)
So what is Reality On The Norm, anyway?The RON game series formed when some members of the AGS community decided to do a group project - although RON can best be described as a concept, rather than as a project in itself. It involves the creation of a central environment - in our case, the Reality-on-the-Norm town. Each member of the team creates his or her own game as a chapter to be added to all the previously achieved ones, thus creating a collective and diverse "book" of several independent yet coherent chapters.
If you're going for a Ron game and
don't know where to start:
- Read
this F.A.Q. about RoN universe
- Get familiar with some of
characters- Visit the AGS forums
Reality-on-the-Norm subsection for extra information and advice
- Play some of the
RoN games for inspiration
Two very
important RoN policies: don't kill off other people's characters and don't reveal the bum's true identity.
Have a great month of RoN and MAGS everyone!
Ending: February 29th - Hooray for leap years! Extra day of dev
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________What is MAGS?
Started in 2001, MAGS is a competition for amateur adventure game makers. The idea is to create a game in under a month, following the rules set by the previous winner. It aims to help you work to a deadline, improve your skills, and provide a kick-start into making adventure games. Regardless of skill, MAGS is for everyone. Voting is based on "favorite" games, and not the most artistic, or the best coded. If you have bad art skills, use it as a chance to do some graphic work. If you're sub-standard at coding, use it as a chance to give scripting a go. Ultimately, people will vote for the most enjoyable entry.
Rules
• You may work in a team to produce an entry.
• You are not allowed to use any material created before the competition. Your game must be completely new! An exception is music and sound; you can use any audio that is freely available to the public.
• Any modules and templates featured in this board are also allowed.
Entering MAGS is simple. First, conceptualise your game following the month's criteria (see top). Second, create your game fueled only by coffee. Finally, post your game in this thread, including:
✓ A working download link
✓ The title of your game
✓ A suitable in-game screenshot
At the end of the month, voting will begin, usually lasting for fifteen days. The winner chooses the next month's theme, and their name and game is immortalised in the MAGS Archive. For more information, please visit the Official MAGS website.
