    I got a new PC... Nothing wrong with my lil laptop at all! Still works great, and I'll be using it for school. But, the specs for gaming were falling off fast. So I was selfish and bought myself a beast of a PC ^-^

    @Willibab Ignore the out of date driver thing. That website always claims a driver is out of date, even though GeForce Experience says I have the newest drivers:

    This guy bragging about being able to afford a gaming rig right now... j/k XD
    It's a pre-built? Hope it's worth the price tag. :p
    Cythera
    Cythera
    Not bragging; just sharing some very exciting news :p
    And yes, prebuilt rig. For one, parts where I am are stupid expensive and near impossible to get a hold of - no stock. Second, eh, don't have time to build a rig myself lol

    For all my complaining about the horrors of mapping, it has been shielding me from the true terror : playtesting and bug hunting :yswt2:

    @ScorchedGround Tween saved me so much time and trouble back in the older versions of RPG Maker. Shame the animation editor was totally removed in MZ, though.

    When I get burnt out, I hop into the database, so skills aren't the problem for me haha! Or I make really bad puns...
    Animations for said skills though - eek. The batch button is super useful.
    Still. I'd take making animations over bug hunting to be honest ._.

    I like bug hunting much more than the chores of mapping.
    Actually, I hate everything that does not use my brain to solve something.

    I've finally done it. 1,400 hours in the engine. A 30 hour demo. And I've FINALLY customized my game's save/load menu scene!
    ...It's not at all what I was supposed to be doing ._. And now I have a burning desire to animate said save/load scene.

    A 30-hour demo? How long is the full game??? @.@
    Cythera
    Cythera
    Um, well, it's not done yet, so hard to say... Probably around 35 hours? Not too much left in the main plotline.
    I never planned how long the game would be; it's just whatever the story needs to be told properly :3

    You should probably both respect the dedication AND wonder how my soul is still intact. In fairness, if I didn't spend so much time writing scripts and plugins and answering questions for other people I'd have way more time to work on my own projects. :p
    Cythera

    Then again...I often wonder how ANY of our souls are intact. Who willingly chooses a hobby that consists of math, repeated testing of the same bloody thing again and again, cursing when a simple comma breaks hundreds of lines of code...
    Well. I meant to turn that into a joke, but it stayed real ._.
    ShadowDragon
    ShadowDragon
    a comma or missing } can breaks alot, but I dont curse if something dont work,
    I mostly stay calm, alot curse a lot and than it's working again, but staying calm
    and have patience, it will work as well in a short while.

    or leave, clear your head, and continue to see what is wrong :) (best approach)

    I am finally done making the 'superbosses' in my game!
    I'm happy because oh my gosh they were a lot of work, but I'm also sad because I love database work... And also because I loved making stupid powerful bosses ._.

    Ah yes, how could I forget the boss where the best strategy is to kill off the rest of your team in previous battles and run a one man army!
    Also, yes, Finn. I will do your database for you. But I then claim rights over combat mechanics :p

    So if a game's antagonist is the aunt to one of the main party members, would that make them the auntagonist?

    snacks like that which is dutch word :) is something I can make, but those snacks
    are something I dont do everyday :) because alot of time to make them.
    so no @Finnuval I dont make snacks.

    everything is fine, but no snacks, faster by a "snackbar" =)
    Finnuval

    @ShadowDragon Yeah they ar very typical Dutch and pretty hard to make yourself xD So snacks are off the table,,,hmm, lemme think of something else then :p

    snacks are easy to make, but time consuming, I make whatever Cythera likes
    or want to eat, except snacks ^^

    I can make sauces (champignons sauce, tomato sauce, cheesesauce, ragou etc (selfmade).
    Cythera
    Gotta admit, when I look at how much I have left to finish on my game, I feel pretty sad...
    Then I step back, see all I've completed so far...and realize I still have to finish up a bunch of other stuff too:yswt2:

    I have some news that I want to share - I've been accepted to university ^-^
    I received some offers just over a month ago, but I wanted to make my choice and get things in place before sharing the news.
    I'm super excited, and I'm very happy with my choice of program and school.

    My mind is now broken. I just spent over an hour on this stupid issue.
    Trying to get a skill to show text depending on enemy ID to show passives.
    Well. I tried to call one passive 'Spirit's Way'. See a problem? No? Neither did I until now!
    The apostrophe in "Spirit's" ended the text eval... no wonder I kept getting unexpected input errors...I think I'm gonna cry.

    Context: chicken samosas do not taste like chicken. I thought it was veggie samosas.

    I once bought some microwavable Indian snacks (samosas, bhajis, etc), and all of them lacked flavour. They were genuinely tasteless. lol.
    Cythera
    Cythera
    Yeah, that's typically a no-go :(
    I lived in a town a few years ago that has this amazing Indian restaurant! Whenever I'm in town to visit my sis, we order (a rather absurd quantity of) food from them!

    So, MV crashed on me...even though I know I saved, I lost 3 hours of progress. That's an entire boss, complete with animations, action sequences, AI, drops, the works...
    That's just, super depressing and I don't have it in me right now to redo the stuff I made for that boss :(

    True, it won't take me as long to do it the second time around :/
    But I really liked that boss...he had cool skills to decimate players with...
    On second thought, maybe he was too strong. But he is optional so I'm okay with that :D

    Instead of actually working on my game, I worked on an Excel sheet of all the data in my game! # of skills, weapons, enemies, etc.
    ...I realize I have spent a LOT of time in the database ._. My favorite number? # of Unique Armours: 2093

    I think it's time to stop adding random traits and augments to my game :yswt:

    I'd like to find one person who doesn't mock my phone! >.< My friends mock it, my boss mocks it, my coworkers politely but still mock it, my family mocks it! Why?! My phone is perfectly fine! Yes, it's coming up on 8 years old, but it does its job just fine. Hmph! ._.

    That is a beautiful comeback and I am so going to use that haha!

    And my poor phone is mocked because it's so old. It's an S4 mini, and I love it. It works, it's durable, and it isn't built to be obsolete in 6 months so customers buy the convenient new one that just came out :p

    for me,i don't care if my phone is old. i have redmi a3 since 2016 & still usable until now (only my problem is the battery,it bulging & replaced with the new one)

    Hawaii doesn't have daylight savings time, either. When every day/night is basically 12 hours, what's there to save?

    Many years ago, I was told by someone on the mainland that it was started so cows' milking time changes (circadian rhythm effect) would cause them less stress.

    In any case, my cat doesn't seem to sleep more or less during the day after a time change.

    Where I live, we have to wait for New York to agree with us before we can get rid of daylight savings :ysad:

Pretty much stopped posting in the progress thread cuz it feels like talking to the void, lol, so I've just been posting on IG instead. But someone finally liked my post there, lol. Dunno if I'll continue tho. Probably not xD

My game's progressing quite well. Just kinda stuck on mapping right now. Decided to go the side, slightly top down view route. I'm drawing everything from scratch for a personal touch uwu

I was wondering if you've heard anything about the patch that allows you to show text anywhere on the screen utilizing pictures being upgraded to work with the official 2k3 release? Your work with 2k3 is awesome dude, keep it alive. I'm 33 and am still playing with 2k3 largely thanks to your work with the game engine. I appreciate the official patch updates you post. Please continue posting
