The new year has arrived, in both the Western Calendar, and once the clock rings in midnight tonight, the Lunar Calendar! And we want to start the new year off with a bang… or maybe just some slapstick. It’s time for the #RPGMakerSkit Competition.

Here’s what that means: Make a 10-20 second humorous cutscene skit! Tweet out your entry for a chance to win the coveted Best in Class prize determined by our staff OR possibly win the Lucky Draw!

Cutscenes are a wonderful test of our sense of timing, visual mapping abilities, eventing skills, and our talents as writers! And with our theme of comedy, it will definitely test your sense of humor!
