Transparancy doesn't count as a color. And I added the rule of no greyscale because its too easy to make graphics look impressive with it. It wouldn't really challenge you as much either, and odds are everyone would use it if they could.

So, basically, you want a game that looks like Magnus.


Wrong. Look at the old NES rpgs. Each walkabout in Dragon Warrior 4 had 3 colors, and they look way better than Magnus.

We get 5, and they get 4. Difference is that they can use different colors for each sprite/tile, instead of just 5 chosen.

That's true, but as long as your graphics resemble something like what they're supposed to be then they will be better than Magnus.

I think this should be changed. It's not fair that I have to buy attack graphics AND attacks.

Hmm... This is true.

5 Attacks (Graphics)................................................ 100 Points for 3

But I won't budge on monsters. They are different than attacks.

Due to many people being absent because of Christmas vacation among other things, we have decided to extend the deadline to next Friday (the 9th). You can submit it anytime before 11:59pm Friday. Because I'm too lazy to pick a stupid time zone, we'll be nice and as long as we see it by the time we wake up Saturday it'll be qualified (just limit yourself to midnight your time or something)

To submit, just put it on the game list and mention it's for the first Do More With Less contest. I reccommend you include what you bought/sold in the game's readme for sanity's sake.

Entrys will be judged by myself, sew, and one or two others who aren't entering the contest.

Am I, like, totally wrong about this, or is there totally no limit on NPCs?

No, there isn't, because NPCs are too important. Also, my game already uses like 25 so please don't change it...
