Rules

You can start your game at anytime of the week, but you must make it in 1 hour!

You can think about your game in advance, or start directly and trust your instincts.

You must create this game in a new project, from scratch.

If you don't want to use the included assets, you can download & import other assets before launching your timer.

If you want to create personal resources for this game (eg draw your own tileset), you'll have to make them during the hour!

Tips

Avoid random encounters. You don't need to artificially lengthen the duration of your game. Random unbalanced fights can be painful.

Use a timer to easily manage your breaks. There's nothing like a snack to get you back on track.

Don't be afraid to rush your game. This isn't about releasing a professional game. Some pieces are missing, some bugs aren't fixed? Upload it anyway! That's what we want to see, creativity in its raw state, produced in sweat and tears. Pure art!

If you're using RPG Maker MV, take advantage of the web exporter to make your game more convenient to try.

Ideas

Take advantage of this challenge to work on a completely different type of setting/mood and stimulate your creativity in a new way! Take a look at the assets on itch.io and OpenGameArt to get inspired.

If you want to, record your screen while you perform the challenge, so that everyone can admire your tenacity. You could even stream it!
