I don't really like doing this, but it has to be done. The RPG Maker Pavilion will start fully supporting RPG Maker XP on Friday, February 29th. We will start accepting resources, demos, and games for it. When VX is released, we will support that too.
Why the change? Enterbrain obviously has no intention of releasing another console RPG Maker any time soon, so we either branch out a bit, or the site dies.
Note that this is, and always will be a console RPG Maker focused site. We're not going to add anything from the PC RPG Makers to our logo. We're not going to try and compete with the countless PC RPG Maker sites out there. We're just adding a new option for our users here.
Now, about RPG Maker XP submissions:
For games and demos, the size limit is 15MB. If it's larger than that, it's likely not going on the site. There may be exceptions if you're a longtime member here, or are staff. Why would that factor in? Because I don't feel like hosting some random person's 40MB epic if he's never coming back here after submitting it, or hosting a crap 20MB pokemon/final fantasy crossover with a single repeating dashboard confessional MP3 as the soundtrack. Yes, for the first time ever, the pavilion will be implementing a quality control check on games submitted (not demos though). It doesnt have to be great. it doesnt have to be really good. it just has to be decent. if it's crap, it's not going up. even crap for the sake of comedy will not be allowed. no smitpok-influenced works, essentially.
If you submit a demo, and in 6 months there has not been an updated demo or full game submitted, it's getting deleted.
Why so picky? because of the file size. these games are a lot bigger than any console RPG Maker game, and while storage isnt a problem, bandwidth very well could be.
Game submissions will still be posted in the submissions forum, but the option to attach the file to your post will be absent. Instead, temporarily host the file on a service like yousendit.com, we'll grab it, we'll upload it here, and the rest will be handled as normal. One important thing to note, we will be checking every submission to see which version of the software it was made with. Games made with the pirated versions will be denied, and your account will immediately be banned. No warning will be given, no chance to explain yourself. I know how to check for the pirated software, and it's not up for debate if I find out you're using it.
As for resources, you can submit anything that YOU MADE that can be imported into the software, aside from music. If we find out you submitted something that you did not make, your account will be permanently banned. We don't tolerate theft here.
If there are any questions, please ask them here.
