Hello everyone! So uh… Yeah, I’m hosting a new contest that isn’t Ragefest. How 'bout that?
This is an SRPG Studio exclusive contest where the objective is to “not make Fire Emblem”. It’s up to you to decide what that means!
The contest is being hosted on Game Jam and has 5 contestants at the time of writing. Unlike Ragefest, difficulty is not being emphasized, and there is a limit of 1 chapter per contestant. There’s also a 1 hour limit for practicality reasons. If submissions take up less time, I don’t have to edit or record as much, which makes committing to these contests far less difficult.
Originally, I was gonna require contestants to put a set of presentation improvement plugins in their games. I’m prolly gonna just have them as recommendations instead though, cause requiring the plugins might imply I want them to make their games a specific way, or limit their creativity somehow.
Even if I end up requiring them, they wouldnt change gameplay much however, so… yeah. Basically, just don’t worry about it.
Oh! Thanks Von. I actually forgot about this thread. It would make sense for me to post the new videos here.
The content for this series is all going to be scripted rather than done in a Let’s Play format. I’ve been meaning to reinvent my content for a while. SRPG Studio and its community mean a lot to me, so it’d given me the motivation I needed to take the next step.
Today, we look over a submission that… literally just makes Fire Emblem. BUT WITH A TWIST! You can’t do normal attacks except as a counter attack on enemy phase. Instead, you can only use combat arts. How well is this concept executed? Let’s find out:
, but it’s cool to see how someone else approached Pokemon as a tactics game.
