    Wait, we have profile banners now?!
    We have profile banners now! :D
    D-does anyone know the size for them? 'Cause no matter what size image I upload, it doesn't look good haha; obviously my image sizes are too big.

    I had to play with the sizes a bit too! I was excited to see the addition!

    Finally returning to one of my least favorite parts of game deving - mapping.
    Me, adding new map: Okay, so this map will be the - wait...Map 501?! O.O E-excuse me?!
    So, yup...breaking into the 500's for map count. Some are placeholders for now, since I haven't gotten around to actually mapping them yet. But soon. Very soon...oof, I'm scared.

    keep it up and it will go up even more :D but some even have much more, even though,
    my side game gets over 960 maps in total (devided by the game and turning around the
    mazes) and that has 4 diffent games to go in too :) and each map is different!

    mapping is time consuming, specially for some things that need edits to be inplented :p

    So I look forward that you hit the 999 maps (or over!)

    That awkward moment when you can't tell if your game's bosses are too easy, or if you're too good at your own game >.>
    Now I find myself wanting to buff my boss battles so I have a challenge for myself...but I do believe that's going to be too much for players haha!

    Mood today: "they're not bugs - they're unintended features!"
    I so wanted to update my game for New Years Eve, alas health issues are interrupting. A final how-do-you-do from 2020. At least there's always next year ;)

    Finding it crazy hard to stay motivated and get things done - I really miss my job :( Another month to go, at the least.
    I have to get something done to feel semi-productive. So, I will get the next major update of my game out by New Years. If not, someone's gonna have to come yell at me, okay? Cool.

    There are times when you just really need to rest.
    I'm sure when you've rested enough, the motivation starts to come back
    and new idea emerges. :D

    Anyone still track Santa? He's over Greenland right now, heading to Canada.
    I..Erm... I have nephews. That's why I'm tracking Santa...Totally not for me or anything...

    Hey, hey you. Get ready for the best joke ever made.
    What do you call a banana that you throw?
    ...
    A banana-rang!
    Eh??? Get it?? Not a boomerang, but a banana-rang!
    Okay, I'll go lock myself in my basement again. That's my social quota for the week. But if you think that joke will somehow make its way into my game, you're gosh-dang right!

    Ah, yes, I have finally found a game with my desired difficulty level - Ark Survival Evolved. My first experience was spawning in, walking ten steps, and getting mauled to death by a lvl 15 raptor dino. Perfection.
    Plus it was 80% off on Steam, so I could actually afford it :3

    I hear very good things about Stalker: Call of Pripyat with the Misery mod from my brother. I've only played it for a bit, and the itemization is insane. Also, you should check out Roguelike games. Wazhack, Sword of the Stars The Pit, Wasted, Tales of Maj'eyal, Dungeons of Dredmor, all are great fun and very difficult. Only in a roguelike can you put on an enchanted necklace and it starts choking you.

    Just texted my kid to tell him I'd made tranq arrows in Ark and the spellchecker helpfully corrected it to the more politically correct "trans arrows" lol. Anyhow tamed a carborenmys and made a saddle. AND I just made a shotgun so maybe I can handle raptors finally.....

    I don't believe it - the to-do list for my game is actually...getting...smaller?
    Am I getting work done, managing my time better, or neglecting real life responsibilities? :p

    "Bah, I don't need a plugin for this boss's main combat mechanic! I'll make it myself with states and troops events and my great Javascript knowledge and coding abilities!"
    *5 minutes and an infinite loop later* It...needs some tweaking....

    But infinite loops are fun! The worst that can happen is a crash due to memory leak! Right? XD

    Having to break an infinite loop could be a fun idea for a boss if done on purpose and done well.

    That moment when you find a wormhole in your game o_O Enter a door in one town and find yourself in a shop in another town! Exit the shop, and find yourself in that other town!
    Um, I think I need to review the transfer event there :3

    How I label my code: Meticulous, coherent comments clearly describing the code and its function.
    How I name my game files: 'R-RS_K--A_M'. What is it? I have no idea. It's a character sprite page, but where are they? What are they? I'll never know.

    Depending on the difficulty of your game. If I make the cave crawler game, yeah it is like play an RPG. But writing stuff and coding, testing stuff is working process for me lol. You are intelligent which I can see from you make the game still hunting at the mining unground holes.

    *Adds new plugin to game* *Tests new plugin on old save file* *panics when it doesn't work, spending 45 minutes combing through code and praying it isn't a compatibility issue*
    So. I done good. I forgot the beginner rules of plugin use. >.>

    Phew, just took my chemistry exam today! Ready to play some games and maybe get some more project work in!
    If anyone's got a game they want feedback on...let me know. Too many choices; I can't decide! I give good feedback :3 And ya know, if you wanna try my game in exchange... ;)

    @Cythera, is a difficult chemistry exam? What do you learn? I am ok with the chemistry subject.

    Thanks; I'm hoping I passed too! Felt really confident with the exam.
    And no, Kupo, it's not very hard - least, I didn't find the course difficult. It involved organic chemistry, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, and equilibriums (solids, solutions, and acids & bases).
    I get the results for the exam later this week. I'll see how 'difficult' the course is once my final mark is in haha!

    @Cythera, ok, you are finishing the class with the final exam lol. I hope you get good great. I still have to finish your game. It is really good lol. Let mix the baking powder with vinegar party lol.

I'm moving on from RMXP finally. I've been stuck in a difficult decision between XP and MZ, and I've given up and moved on to MZ. Overall I'm really liking it, I wish tilesets were easier to setup like XP, but it's actually not that bad!

I've been using a modified version of a script called Multiple Messages. It makes my text boxes look like a Mario & Luigi game! There is something about it that bothers me a little bit, but I shouldn't worry about that now.

Side note, Mist's walking animation is almost perfectly in sync with Loose Yourself by Eminem.
