3 | | -<br /> |
4 | | -This Fest is for games where asking the player to do <i>all</i> of the combat is too much, so you |
5 | | -let the player sit back and watch the fights happen -- automatically! And, as the RPG in the name |
6 | | -implies, your characters improve via EXP/levels, equipment or other kinds of growth/buffs. <br /> |
7 | | -<br /> |
8 | | -This event runs November 16 @ 10:00am PST to November 23 @ 10:00am PST and will include eligible |
9 | | -titles with sections for discounted titles, unreleased titles in Coming Soon mode, games with demos, |
10 | | -and more.<br /> |

42 | | - <strong>November 16</strong> - The trailer announcing the event launches on this day. At |
43 | | - this point, you're welcome to share your participation in the event. Assets for this purpose |
44 | | - will be available in the <a href="#asset">Asset Kit</a> below.<br /> |
45 | | - </li> |
46 | | - <li> |
47 | | - <strong>November 16 @ 10:00am PST</strong> - The event starts. This is the deadline for |

51 | | -<h2 class="bb_section"><a name="eligibility"></a>Eligibility</h2> |
52 | | -Eligible games' primary gameplay loop will involve automatic combat with your characters or your |
53 | | -units.<br /> |
54 | | -<br /> |
55 | | -For this Fest, we're defining Auto Battlers as any game where combat occurs automatically, with your |
56 | | -character or your units following a pre-defined sequence or un-modifiable AI to fight other enemies. |
57 | | -Your freedom as a player comes from how you build your units, how you arrange their inventory, which |
58 | | -units you acquire, and other actions like that. Once a fight starts, the player can generally remove |
59 | | -their hands from the keyboard, and the fight will finish on its own. These games are generally |
60 | | -turn-based or phase-based.<br /> |
61 | | -<br /> |
62 | | -Your character/units must be able to die or take damage, so Tower Defense titles will generally not |
63 | | -be allowed. Eligible games feature gameplay where units are generally on an even playing ground, so |
64 | | -horde games (1 vs. many) are likely to not be eligible. <br /> |
65 | | -<br /> |
66 | | -RTS games are generally not eligible, as you have to 'trigger' battles and you can typically |
67 | | -run-away mid-way through. City builders are also generally not eligible. Deckbuilders <u>can</u> be |
68 | | -eligible but again: combat must be automatic, so the deck must 'play itself'.<br /> |
69 | | -<br /> |
70 | | -And of course - Auto-Chess titles are eligible!<br /> |
71 | | -<br /> |
