A month of writer's block has finally ended!
-
So far, this has been one of the worst weeks of my life. My anxiety spiked really bad because of the election and I haven't had a good night's sleep for a week straight. I'm also extremely sensitive to bad sleep.
Does anyone else ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of work they have to do? I have a million things I need to rework for my main project Battle Castle (writing, characters, combat, etc), but then I remember I need to look at and possibly re-write my other two projects, one of which already has multiple hours of gameplay, and it's just too much sometimes.
Lots of cool changes for Battle Castle in the works! Not just reworked dialogue, but gameplay, combat, and possibly lore changes to make things weightier.
Getting feedback on your games can be painful, but it is TOTALLY WORTH IT. People will catch things you missed, or have totally different viewpoints that you never would have thought of, or was too blinded to see.
Here's a nice little poem I wrote to include in one of my game projects:
From the fallen husk to the merry froth,
From the golden stalks to the oaken mug,
Does ale warm the heart like a woolen cloth,
And welcomes the long night in with a hug.
Nothing like starting a One Map Challenge game at 1 in the morning, with the subject matter of psychological alien horror.
Note to self: Don't use a square building to make a hotel, nothing will ever be an even number, and it will look janky as hell.
Yet again, I feel like I'm one of the few who likes a thing a lot of other people don't like. I guess I'm just weird like that... Or my expectations are zero.
Going from Ace to MZ... Wow. There's a lot to unpack here!
There was a large beetle flying around in my brother's room just now. When it got caught, there were tiny bugs crawling all over it, like parasites or mites or something. Maybe it was one of those zombie bugs and it was being mind controlled...
I got a new rpg idea yesterday, titled "The Hero We Summoned to Save Us is a War Criminal from our Past?!"
My brain: Hey, I have an idea how to make the transition to the main story quest in The Wastes more natural!
Me: Good!
My brain: You need to remake the hotel you start out in, it's not realistic enough.
Me: Ok... This was unexpected, but I can do it.
My brain: Now make each hotel floor 5 times as large to match the main part. Oh, you also need to make a bunch of new npcs to fill in the space on these maps.
Me: Crap.
My package that's been in transit for 128 days now is moving again!
The horrors of gold and drop balancing are not to be trifled with lightly...
One of the hazards of the microwave: cooking something for six minutes when it should be 60 seconds, and come back to see smoke pouring out of it, and the plastic is now fused to the blackened food.
What I would give to actually get some feedback on my game...
Well, looks like I head back to work tomorrow. This multi-month long break has given me time to make a ton of progress on all three of my games, including the release of a demo.
The demo for Battle Castle: Shadow From the Past is now officially released!
RMVXA - [Demo] Battle Castle: Shadow From the Past [Story-Focused Dark Fantasy]
Content Warning: Contains use of alcohol, mild language, mild suggestive themes. The demo covers the first fourth to third of the story. This is a dialogue-heavy game, so don't expect to skip past everything and understand what is going on. Story: Battle Kingdom has gone through two immensely...forums.rpgmakerweb.com
Playtesting for Battle Castle is done, demo time for me was roughly 6 hours and 20 minutes. I'm going to pass it on to a few friends first, and after getting some feedback will be posting an official topic. -

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
