    I'm so happy about a certain game that was announced yesterday. I'm propably the happiest person on earth right now. Only problem, I'm way to exited. I mean it's the remake or remaster of the sequel to my favourite game of all time. Could someone please lend me their time machine, so I can travel to unknown date in year 2024?

    I sprained my left wrist, so cannot fix problems found in my plugins in the meantime. Typing with just one hand is tedious and error prone. Trying to type with both is painful. Only good side is I'm right handed.

    Today I've dreamed that I got a german off topic response with a very long question in one of my posts.

    I just never thought I'd ever dream about the forum at all. Dreams are just wierd.
    I forgot what the question was about.

    Now I was tempted to type one out, but I am scared of the mods warning me for using the wrong language ;D

    Yesterday I tried to play RM with Joy Con Controllers which up until recently I didn't even know was possible. I was really confused, that XBOX to which the standard mapping in RM seems to refer to, has swapped the positions of the 'A' and 'B' aswell as the 'X' and 'Y' buttons.
    I really wonder why Microsoft did this. Now 'B' was the 'OK' button, while 'A' was the 'Cancel' button using the Nintendo Controller.

    To be fair to Microsoft, I find it much more logical that the buttons would go in alphabetical order from left to right. I'd bet that's a holdover from the Nintendo systems getting ported from Japan.

    That really makes sense. Also to be fair, I was just surprised because except of Sega Megadrive I've only owned Nintendo Console so far and played PC with Mouse and/or Keyboard.

    Finished switching to a new PC. Now I could potentially start working at projects or plugins again if I feel the motivation to do so.

    A different view on Motivation.

    Edit: Congrats to the new PC.

    Oh wow I was already always backing up my project, because I've read it in the forum so many times, but now I had to learn the hard way that this was not enough. I should back up everything I create not just my project. Installation kit for 1.5 has overwritten my hair gradients for the generator and I couldn't exactly recreate them, but got similar looking ones now.

    Not only this, you should have a backup of a backup. I once deleted my current project folder thinking it was a backup and it wasn't. Luckily, I was able to restore that other backup, or I would have lost a significant amount of work.

    YES! Backups of the backups, always. I learned this the hard way during my latest Skyrim mod build. I accidentally overwrote an important file, went to my backups folder and found that I had overwritten the same file there as well. I don't know how, but I did. So I started making 2nd and sometimes 3rd backup folders since then.

    Wow I just never stop learning new things about the default engine. I didn't know that a battle is aborted when the timer runs out and this without a plugin. Propably because I've never used the timer before.

    Oh man I wasn't using my graphic card all those years. My screen was only plugged in a plug that would use the CPU's internal GPU. Bought new HDMI cable and plugged it into the graphic card itself. Things where still not running smoothe. Also had to unplug the previous screen plug, cause computer decided to still use CPU instead of graphic card. I am like the biggest hardware noob on earth.

    Thinking about buying Blue Reflection on Steam. With the 2nd game coming out on Switch I've got interested, but knowing Koei Tecmos recent treatment to the Atelier Series it is not unlikely that this game will get a definitive edition someday and then I will be mad at myself for buying it now. Also I'm not really a PC gamer, not having a controller and don't know how well it can be played with keyboard.

    I don't know why, but I still have big problems with 'than' and 'then'. I always want to write 'Sweet tastes better then sour' instead of 'Sweet tastes better than sour'. I'm unsure if this is only in regards to comparison or if I would actually completely switch there meaning and write 'Okay than let's go to the cinema' instead of 'Okay then let's go to the cinema'.

    Oh man, then I have problems with 'there' and 'their' I guess! That is sad as 'there' described a position and 'their' is a possessive pronoun. I guess this happens often if I write too fast without thinking too much.

    I used to be really snobby about grammar, but eventually I came to realise that what's important is making your meaning clear, rather than using exactly the right words. That said, if you want to fix the issue, one way that might help you remember the difference is with one of the most common preference comparisons: "I'd rather x than y" remember the second letters are the same: rather, than.

    I don't know if making little 'sayings' help you or not, but you could always try to remember it as 'than' has an 'a' because its is comparing two things against one another; 'then' has an 'e' because it refers to when some event will take place. :esad:

    I was pretty much inactive for last couple of month, occasionally logging in and looking if there is a message for me. I was already thinking about saying good bye, but this would be sad. I really have a lot of fun here and don't want to miss it. I just can't think about anything interesting to talk about. Maybe I'll talk a little bit about myself here in the future.

    I do a lot of lurking, too. What inspired you to make games?

    mayb you can look into some plugins to make that doesn't exist yet, try and experiment,
    or tr to create a game on your own and see how that goes, maybe you find something
    intresting to add to the community?

    but we are sad if you leave, specially the support of your plugins :)
    mabe create a master demo with your plugins and how to use them effectively or once
    way to use them nice to bring some idea's to others?

    @Sausage_Boi I really didn't have any inspiration, I just wanted to try it out and MV happened to be on sale right at this moment.

    In two days it's one year since I've restarted my project and what is left to do is the last chapter I designed before restarting. To be honest I didn't work all time on it. I also sometimes did month long breaks.

    I was playing last night. I wouldn't say awful. Just dated and ported to a totally different controller. It took me a while to get used to it. I still keep accidentally pulling up the map when I mean to ground pound.

    Just one day into the trial period of MZ and I already decided to definetely stay with MV. Just to much work went into my project. I should start working on it again.

    You could always come back to it when you finish the game you are working on it. I plan to do that just so the library of plugins can grow and they can apply any bug fixes.

    Is there an issue that you have? I have thousands of hours in MV and in my opinion MZ is very obviously a better program. There are so many little things that are better that I can't justify not using it. Not too mention that plugins will be pouring out soon with Yanfly working in an official capacity. Im sooo stoked for MZ.

    @1Mustadio1 My MV project isn't finished, but if you ask for issues: I don't like much of the RTP outside of the new character generator parts. The new resolution changing option doesn't affect placement of enemies in battle. I've changed it to 1080p and the wolves where flying in the air in the upper left corner (Frontview Mode). I might still get MZ someday when it is 75% off.

    Today I've cleaned my desk, that looked like a Gigantamax-Garbodor. Now it only looks like a Trubbish anymore.

    Just remember, that Trubbish could evolve at any time.

    Not if I put an Everstone on it and make sure it doesn't fight opponents, that can potentially knew moves, which can trade, steal, knock off or simply destroy items.

Forgive my rudimentary video editing skills, thought I'd start sharing progress on my status posts as well. Here's the second character of my roster, Mǽlhafoc, the Ælven ranger.

And if you missed the first one many moons ago, here's Vilhelm, the tarnished knight.

Knocked through three more rough draft sprites. (A frog beast thing, a skeleton, and vampire bat) down to seven sprites and a thing more appropriately done as tiles.
