What is the Fall SMRPG Community Contest about?

The Fall SMRPG Community Contest is a fan-made contest for the SMRPG Hacking Community. In this contest, hackers will create a hack following the theme of the contest, Halloween.

I don'tthink many people post in this section but I could get cderp4 to help out a bit.

Yeah, it's kind of a way to spread the word so SMRPG hackers can do something together. I've been helpful and not-so-helpful in this field, this is just one attempt to help out the community of hackers interested in this game. Whether we get anyone to participate or not is not really the mission, but rather to bring people together, to hack the game or anything else.

Who is cderp4? I would love any help that comes our way!

Happy Halloween, everybody!

Thank you! My wish for the holiday season is definitely to see some people come by, or even ROM hackers. Even if it is to test the waters of Lazy Shell and SMRPG hacking. Anyway that's my wish!

A collaboration? That sounds... complicated. It may be a good time for me to start brushing up some ideas for holiday hacks, and perhaps I could do one or two different hacks to get the season cheer out, or at least pretend to? Seriously the record of hacks is minimal but the potential is always there for there to be greater hacks, it just needs time and direction.

You said "my forum's community", which forum community are you also apart of?
