  • A preview of the second of five hidden arcade machines you can find in The Brothers, an upcoming JRPG from System Masters. They are fully playable, each with multiple levels, tracked hi-scores and related challenges / achievements / trophies!

    I like your Commodore 64 user picture and background. I like old computers, old consoles, etc, even really old ones I literally wasn't around for because I hadn't been born quite yet. My Dad had an Amiga and a Commodore 64 back when he was in high school. I like old tech, even if I wasn't around for it, and even if it's primitive by today's standards.

    Heck, I even have an Amiga emulator on my computer, just because I like to play the old Amiga games, although again, still hadn't been conceived yet when they came out. But I don't care. It's old tech; it's cool.

    Hey; remember these?

    Major milestone! Just uploaded my first test build of The Brothers to my testing team. Game is about 20% complete.
    So, today I learned that "Don't Run" in the Battle Event tool, does NOT mean you can't escape. 1211 hours in.

    It's a super common misconception! Despite the facts that the grammar would be wrong, it doesn't say that on the mouse over tip, it doesn't say that in the help file, the term "run" is not used for escaping battle anyplace else in the engine...we just get it in our heads.
    100% eventing, except for the leaves and fireflies which come from MOG Weather EX.

    Farming with @Galv !

    At last! General Radahn is dead! And the horse he seemingly wrangled from Albert the Fifth Musketeer.

    I was so disappointed when I beat Radahn. He left the planet, became a meteor and fell into the ocean...man has gravity magic and can survive in the vacuum of space but get him wet and he just melts apparently, instant death, no more jousting.

    I felt like I was robbed somewhat of the satisfaction of victory. Myself, the plethora of NPCs and a summon had been going at it half a dozen times, each time getting to about a quarter health. Then the last time, I bring in one extra random human summon and he just trounced Radahn.

    Just one of those things, but we'd reached a point where we knew the tells and patterns, and I thought "one extra PC won't go amiss". It just tipped the scales in our favour big time. Disappointed in myself.
    Current content of my game...
    I'm safe and at home. I was assaulted in a bar by a woman. Punched, scratched, hit in the face holding a mobile phone like a brick. Nobody lifted a finger. I guarantee if it had been me assaulting her, I would be in a cell right now. Had to hide out on the city hall steps with no money, coat, keys and only 5% battery.

    The curse of being popular among the ladies :p
    But seriously, holding techniques have always been my way in these situations. People have a harder time ganging up on you if you act defensively. Ofc...Drunks don't always need a justification ^^

    Thank you for the responses. End of the drama, just wanted to explain my previous comment. Thank you :)

    Glad you made it out!
    I probably won't make it home tonight.

    Jeez, are you saying this because you just won't make it home or are you in actual trouble?

    Trouble. I'm not home, but I'm safe. Please don't worry. I shouldn't have posted that; I hate drama. I don't have friends, so I have no one to talk to, but this isn't the right place. Very sorry for the needless drama everyone.
    Does anyone else feel their existence has to be validated by visiting here at least twice per day, and seeing the little notification icon indicating something you've done has been witnessed somewhere, at some time, by someone?
    EDITED IMAGE BASED ON FEEDBACK!

    Someone was pretty mean about one of my interiors today, calling it "generic" and "low quality".

    I honestly though I'd done a really good job, especially with the clutter detail and the lighting.

    I haven't been completely happy with them to be honest! I may make that final change :cool:

    I think you would be better putting this in the Game & Map Screenshots thread, then you could get proper detailed comments and feedback. There are several things in that image which could be improved, but there's no room in a profile post to do that and it's not really what posts here are for.

    I appreciate that @Kes , but as I've had so much feedback already I don't want to double down on things which have already been said. Please feel free to PM me your critique - this is just one of my indoor maps from dozens and dozens, soon to be hundreds, and as a solo Dev I only have so much time! :)
    Finishing up my Trophy Lodge, based on the fantastic on site tutorial.

    Achievements (progress based) and Challenges (cumulative based), tracking many separate things.

    Lodge with three rooms: Left and right, 48 trophy stands in each for the 96 Achievements.

    Central room, 127 stands for the Challenges. So that's 223 switches. Then I have about 30 variables to give rewards for completing "groups" of trophies :)

Hey Y’all! Here’s Day #8! Another round of applause for @hiddenone my hero yesterday. Kind of still flipping between too hot and too cold, but friends, we’re hydrated.
My boss asked I bring my laptop to work so he could see my game. I show my coworkers, show them some database stuff, and then my boss asks "so can I fight this final boss you've talked about a lot?" :kaojoy:
Finally started working on my first game, let's see where this gets me :)
Gonna repost this since it's currently tied 1-1! We've seen Strength with our adventurers and Charisma with our merchants, so which DnD stat would you like to see in the next NPC for my advent calendar: Constitution or Wisdom?

And a bonus game: if you can guess what type of character each stat will represent, I’ll make your suggested sprite for Christmas! First person to get it wins, so make your guess!
Steam is going to be forcing me to update my desktop OS for Mac. It's a good thing that my laptop is Windows otherwise some of my work and a lot of game save files for 32-bit games would become unusable for a while.
