In before anyone asks on The Book of Shadows. It's done. I just won't release it until after the Steam Summer sale. And got one legal thing to take care of before I can sell it and can't do that until July.

Congrats on finishing Book of Shadows! That's a big accomplishment for a long time coming.

Congrats on getting it up to the threshold. It's when you've thrown it out into the world to make it's own way that the parental nerves kick in.

Here's a mock battle testing it out. Note everything in the video is a placeholder, you'll see VXACE and MV facesets side by side for that reason, and nothing is balanced yet:

Also you'll see the victory aftermath lines don't match, that's because I copy/pasted them from The Book of Shadows for a placeholder for now too.

Quite nice! That's reminiscent of the MV's kicking intro style, which I like.

I suspected it would hurt indie developers. But I guess that means we'd have to release our game shortly after June or December in order to maximize our exposure without a sale, right? (about the sale being optional, I remember RPGMakerMV not going deeply discounted for six months or so, so I'm guessing it's either manually or you have to contact Valve)

@Marsigne : Right. That's what I hope to do. So by that reasoning August or February is probably the right time to release on Steam, as too soon after the sale everyone is broke too.

And at the very least, you can get your Kagura Games bundle for cheap.

Pretty sure I already achieved this hm

It sure sounds like a fun challenge to use as few words as possible and still have a decent story.

Plenty of Gameboy RPGs are like this.

Hand in there! For me it's only 2 days (although it's getting pretty rough).

@mathmaster74 : I understand that. If I based a game on my HS it would involve my HS crush transferring to another school, then once I moved on and found someone else she disappeared without a trace.

Would make for a depressing game I know.

You know what, if I ever make a school setting, it's probably similar to Japan as we adopted the same/similar system, except maybe the school building structure (tall building for classes, a large schoolyard right in front of the entrance, etc)

Maybe the art is all anime so they set it in japan.

Especially hard with story-heavy games.

Oh, yes, as you need to find scenes that also work out of context as you don't have the time to establish the context anymore.

Yup. With gameplay-oriented games, the trailer that has the gameplay parts more or less speaks for itself.

Botafogo supporter here. I know what this feels like.

They should raise the price and give a game as the bonus.

@SolonWise - Hope it improves.

Appears someone made a meme on this too:

Well good that a nap fixed it but be more careful next time I guess

Claritin is very good if you have a seasonal allergy.

At least it was on your speakers... I had that happen to me with my headphones...

Hope you get better soon!

Achoo! dayum, now I need to clean the screen..

What stinks is this is the day I got my night class, which goes to 10 pm. I'm so medicated this will be an interesting class. Let's just hope I don't tell them 2 - 0 is 0.

LOL <3

But...now it gets to learn reading, writing, and start basic maths!

I'll be able to buy a load of stuff on my wishlist when I get paid. I love GoG. Love being able to keep all my installers on an external hard drive. It's nice not needing to download an entire game again, after uninstalling it, when I want to replay a game in the future.

^^ Same here in Australia. They are quite strict about it. (Never head of anyone going to court over it, but still).

And "fair warning" implies that you have done something wrong. Proper "fair use" wouldn't land you in court in the first place.

@TheSorcerer, I agree with. The court wants to see the company informs the copyright violator first to show a good faith of a lawsuit, not just a surprise lawsuit. Rarely happen, but I am just explain the likelihood of wining the trail. I do not know why did I doing this.

Yeah, I agree with getting given a fair warning. Often we might misinterpet something and think we are doing the right thing.

Either side doesn't really want to spend time and money in the court. The 'other side' just wants to point out "hey dude, you can't really do that, it's ours".

@TheSorcerer : I think that is what we call watching the storm where I'm from.

He's called the Weather Wizard, thank you very much

But my friends know me as The Sorcerer. I make magic happen and everyone's lives more fun

And this music is probably going to be stuck in my head for a while as long as some of those later battles took:

Congratulations! But honestly, student loans are incredibly expensive. I'm lucky to be from Canada (Quebec) were college only costs a fraction of the cost from US universities.

If you pay this back then you can consider it a huge achievement. Well done mate!!!

Mine will we paid in 17 months more, just some time more!

What do you mean by engines?

He means RPGMaker Ace and MV and Visual Novel Maker and...

It is perfectly fine to critique something without being able to do it better yourself.

And then?

Gotta say i do enjoy playing through my library of old, incomplete projects from time to time.

I wonder if musicians do a similar thing when they want to chill out to some music?

Kids are like hemmoroids. They keep you from relaxing and are a real pain, but they do grow on you.
