I found out about this RPG Maker event and loved the concept. It reminded me of the Swap-a-thon we held, but more tightly structured, which might encourage more finished works. I thought it might be fun to try applying it to other game development tools. First up, Knytt Stories!

Basically: a bunch of people start Knytt Stories levels and work on them for a week. Then they get swapped around, and everyone finishes everyone else's levels over another week. Rough plan is as follows:

Week 1 - 2016/3/26-2016/4/2
Participants work on levels. They get half-completed, then uploaded to this event in the comments. The deadline for finished uploads will have to be strict for the next part to work, I'll try and set up a countdown timer or something.

Week 2 - 2016/4/3-2016/4/10
Levels are randomly allocated to participants. Is this something Klikbot could handle? They get finished off, and submitted to this event as games.

Tips

  1. All skill levels are welcome! Seeing little relaxation zones transition into sprawling wallswim-ridden glitchscapes will probably be part of the fun (but matching tone is just as appreciated).
  2. Try to use less than 12 characters for the author field when creating your level, as there should be room for two and Knytt Stories only displays the first 25 characters.
  3. In week 2, add your author credit by putting " & [yourname]" after the existing author. You'll need to edit the folder name and the Author field in World.ini, and you could put more detailed credits in Info.png if you want.

Get your feedback in now so I can change things if necessary, and tomorrow I'll probably post about this proposal on Nifflas' Support Forums.
