NaNoRenO was inspired and modeled after the idea of NaNoWrimo (write a 50,000 word novel in 1 month) and NaNoMangO (make a 30 page comic in 1 month). NaNoRenO challenges developers to create and finish their own Ren'ai game within a designated month's time from concept to final product. NaNoRenO+ takes things a step differently from NaNoRenO in that a Support Period is observed where participants will have 2 weeks of getting one thing they are nervous about in their game out of their system. Participants must choose ONE of the following aspects of the game to work on during that time-frame:
To have everyone begin the NaNoRenO event in the same frame-of-mind, the Support Period is from January 31st - February 14th. After the Long Wait; about two weeks of nail-biting-self-imposed-anxiety-moments; NaNoRenO+ participants may then resume on March 1st. |

Q&A
Q: Okay, I'd like to join but where do I sign up? Or do I tell someone? ...? A: Just announce your participation at the Lemmasoft forum. Since it is not at least three months before March, just create a new thread in the Game-Makers Corner. If you would rather wait, the official NaNoRenO 2006 thread will be created in December. You can also just drop Rio a line. Please make sure you specify that it is NaNoRenO+ you would like to join. Q: So basically, NaNoRenO and NaNoRenO+ has the same rules except NaNoRenO+ has that Support Period, right? Q: NaNoRenO+ still sounds too hard. Is there an alternative? |
