Make A Fun Chapter ~~ V ~~ With the success of 15 entries for 1H Blitz, I’ve decided to take up this contest for now as well. I hope to alternate between the two every few months. History We can learn from what has worked well and build on this to create an awesome, positive contest. General Deadlines: January & July : MAFC April & October : 1H Blitz (Yes, 1H Blitz is awaiting further videos & a final poll, but MAFC takes longer to prepare! Deadlines may vary to avoid conflicts with FEE3.) Guidelines: Rule of Thirties Playable in 30 minutes or less I have a short attention span I may be slower than you! As the creator, you should be able to beat it in 20 minutes. 30 or fewer enemies I need 1 minute to kill each enemy This includes reinforcements! Max 30 lines of consecutive dialogue Split up dialogue with map cutscenes Highlighted 30 lines. Map size smaller than 30x30 No Vanilla fe7 / fe8 map exceeds 31 in a dimension. I generally prefer smaller maps. If it’s 30x30 I might still complain as I play it. Finally, Make it fun If you give me troll gameplay, I will probably just stop playing early. If you ignore these guidelines, I may not play your submission. Original Content? Nope! You can use a chapter from your hack. HOWEVER, it must make sense on its own. I won’t be reading up on your project, so we will have no context of your hack. If too many entries don’t seem to make sense as standalone chapters, I may stop accepting these. It should be a fairly chapter, or remade for this contest No chapters that I’ve previously made a video on (eg. “Preview a Hack”) No chapters that were previously submitted for a contest, please Is this Engine okay? I do prefer fe8, but I want to be inclusive. FE6, FE7, or FE8 (but really you should use FE8 - no reskins!) Lex Talionis SRPG Studio Other - probably (but ask me first) (If you aren’t using FEGBA as a base, please share instructions on how to load up your game.) Suggestions Clickbait, pls! We want these to be seen Include a gimmick to your gameplay and help me surpass 19 subs plz. Document your chapter! Share your experience of creating your entry Post screenshots/gifs of your chapter Describe the plot / gameplay Post the .UPS here I’m not inclined to play submissions that I know nothing about. Resources to use FE Map Creator (it can generate maps for you) Ultimate Graphics Repo Music (repo) Credits If you use someone’s to use asset, you must write their name in your credits. Rewards We can vote on our favourites People might like your post I hope to play and upload them to youtube Categories Most-liked reply Top-voted as favourite Fastest any% (and probably crappiest hack) The real reward was the friends chapter you made along the way. In summary: You make a short chapter, and I play it. Deadline: January 15th, 2021.

A contest focused on narrative delivery and integration, as opposed to the other similar contests, which focus only on level design. it's a play on my name. A common problem I've noticed in our community is the tendency to simply overlook or in the worst cases stomp on would-be developers who pour their effort into writing up big walls for their game, trying to sell its concept on some ambitious plan that's likely beyond their ability. Sure, maybe it is out of their league, but this also encompasses people who really may in truth be good writers, maybe in truth could make their game, if they had support and exposure, neither of which our community is exactly willing to provide. And it just doesn't help that it's all-around extremely hard to sell a game on story. The goal of this contest is not to have groundbreaking gameplay or a gorgeous set of assets, it's to deliver a cohesive, enticing narrative over the course of three chapters. Yes, three. A beginning, middle, and end. It simply makes more sense that way, and allows people to practice actual proper Fire Emblem design, too. FE isn't played in a vacuum, after all, your decisions have consequences. Single-chapter games take away from this factor. The absolute goal of this contest is just to give people a chance to make a name for themselves doing something closer to their forte, and it is my hope that it will serve as, as Circles puts it, an "incubation chamber" for fledgeling games that have otherwise struggled to get off the ground. Contestants will be judged primarily on narrative delivery, with auxiliary components such as graphics and gameplay regarded as a clearly-noted bonus. The use of "narrative" over "story" here is important: Narrative is the more inclusive term, it refers to things like lore, the world, and any part of the general idea of "story" that is told not through words. Games have a crucial leaning on overall narrative over just storytelling, because so much of the game will speak without saying anything at all. Thus, narrative integration with gameplay is judged most critically among a submission's components. Please read the rules carefully and feel free to ask for clarification if something is not clear. I will gladly answer any questions. Best of luck to all involved! Stay confident and know that renown is not out of your reach! Remember, the deadline is December 12th! You have 3 months, one for each chapter. Make them count! A Discord Server is available for all interested to communicate, discuss ideas, and/or seek help. ...also please, SF, please for the love of god do something about your posting thing. I had to rewrite this thing three times because it kept getting entirely deleted when I tried to undo, and there is no redo. please don't ever make me have to do that again. ;;

This is a contest where the basic idea is that you can write up a story using any character from the three GBA Fire Emblem games. The winner of this contest will then get their story made into a romhack by me. RULES Characters can only be from the three vanilla GBA games. > Binding Blade, Blazing Sword, Sacred Stones You can crossover any or all of these games if you want to. You are allowed to work alone or in groups at a max of three people. You have to write a whole story. This means dialogue and all that, not just the general plot. Once you have written your story, you can send it to me by SF's pming. Any optional events not included in the story (IE. Village visits, Supports) can be handled by me and the winner(s) once they have been decided. You have a full week to submit your story: Saturday, December 6th. --- 1st Place: Their whole story will be made into a romhack. 2nd Place: Two short scenes of their choosing will be made into a romhack. 3rd Place: One short scene of their choosing will be made into a romhack.
