I've been getting some questions about what is acceptable and what is not for the jam.

What is important is to have fun and be imaginative. Don't stress too much about your game being too much of an RPG and being disqualified from the jam - as long as you have made an honest effort to stay away from making an anime fanfic of Final Fantasy your game WILL NOT be disqualified. 

You could make a game about starfish for example that had a LOT of RPG elements in it and it would be fine because the game is about starfish and it is different and you made an effort to get out of the cookie cutter RPG template by doing this.

As for suggestions- I pulled this up from a reddit forum. People have been making these in RPG Maker.

I've made a gambling simulator, first-person survival horror, and platformer with events alone myself; it's all possible, it just requires quite a bit of creativity.

I tried making an Ace Attorney-like in rpg maker 2k3 for a 30 day game jam. I think the art turned out alright.

Arent simple top down horror games made in RPG Maker alot? Yeah they usually dont have combat, but instead use the ease of eventing to make an interesting game.

I made a pacman clone almost a year ago for fun. It was nothing too complicated but I was surprised at how quickly it came together.

Social Simulation, I think. Same genre as Animal Crossing.

Above are just some ideas I pulled from the internet - there are many more. The bottom line is please don't stress about the game you are making and just be imaginative and enjoy yourself.

If you have any doubts please reach out. Thanks for reading!
