Castle Paradox

[Ysoft_Entertainment]

When: July 1, 2007
Duration: 1 month
Due date: July 31, 2007, midnight. One-day grace period will be given to compensate for the different time zones.

Introduction
Due to the shortage on these types of games on OHR, I propose a contest to the community. Make a dating simulation game using OHRPGCE. Example of this is Shadowiii’s OHR Date. If you haven’t played his game, please do so to get the idea of what the dating simulation is all about.

You have until July to plan the game, however you can only start making the game on or after July 1.

Rules
1. Teams are OK; however, the one to get the prize will be the team leader. It is up to him/her to decide on how to split the prize.

2. Music and graphics ripping is OK as long as you manage to incorporate them into your game well. If you do rip, give the source in the credits page.

3. I will only accept finished games; if you only do the demo, don’t bother submitting it because I will not count it as an entry.

4. Your game must have a proper introduction and ending, if you don’t have at least this, 3 points will be deducted from your score.

5. If your game contains adult elements, nudity, sex, strong language, etc. Please note it somewhere before the game starts, giving the player an option to quit playing.

6. Previously submitted games are not allowed to enter.

Voting
Voting will be done by the community. Entrants will be allowed to vote for their entry.

Voting will be based on these categories.
1. Graphics: 1-5
2. Music: 1-5
3. Story: 1-5
4. Characters: 1-5

Bonuses
RPG elements: 3
The bonus will be added by me.

Prize
Prize will be $20 Paypal. If you don’t have Paypal, I can get you something from Amazon.com for up to the $20, provided they dropship the item.

I'm a bit confused by what "RPG elements" could refer to. I don't think I've played a single dating sim that didn't have stats you could raise, etc. What does this mean?

Killing monsters to get stat boost or money, exploration to find items, and/or the girl. Fighting the boss to save the girl.

Basically RPG game where you get the girl at the end instead of fighting a super final boss.

A lame example would be one of the harvest moon games(ye harvest moon isn't really an rpg but you do get to woo some girls. Thats basically what I want in an rpg, and what I mean by rpg elements)

That is why I said it was a lame example of it.

rpg elements is just bonus, you may or may not incorporate into your game. If you can come up with alternative methods of raising your stats, besides the obvious ones found in dating sims(working, working out, etc...) then you will get the bonus of 3 points added to your score. I just called it rpg elements cause I wasn't sure of what to name it.

Actually, I think I'll enter this contest, if only because I was referenced at the beginning. Plus, OHR-Date needs a sequal/spinoff. And I'll be back in cali by then.

Actually the real reason is I want 20 bucks. Which is probably the only reason ANYBODY will enter, anyway.

Just to be sure that everyone is clear on the prize. I will pay with paypal or other method that the winner may think off. I will not write checks nor will I send the bill in an envelope. With that in mind, go make your game.
