  • Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.

    Another demo of the dynamic cloud cover system, this time complete with the original soundtrack composition (which sounds even goofier at this 2x playback speed). Much left to tweak but I like it so far.
    It seems MOG Weather only has a "clear" function to instantly erase a given weather effect. Probably works well if weather only changes at map transfer, etc, but looks very abrupt if weather effects are continuously changing. So my next challenge: script a "fade" function to gradually fade the sprites and wait to "clear" the current weather until the opacity of all its sprites hits zero... or something like that! XD
    Scripted a multi-variable weather system that randomizes wind speed, cloudiness, rain, fogginess, etc, while attempting to realistically account for interactions between them (e.g. wind speed affects fogginess, cloudiness affects rain, etc), the current weather pattern, and the player's biome e.g. swamp, beach, etc. Now I "just" have to tie visuals and sounds to the variables so stuff actually happens...

    What engine? Will you be releasing it for others to use?

    MV. I wasn't thinking about a public release when I wrote it, but it probably could be if I added plugin parameters for the variables. Main thing is it's only a randomization algorithm so far, and the full weather experience will have dependencies on other plugins for visuals (e.g. MOG's Weather EX, Pixi Filter Controller, etc). I'll have to see what I have when I'm really done whether it's worth a public release.
    Finished that egg-sitting mini-game I mentioned here a couple weeks back. Now to fix the weather system so it doesn't rain indoors while you're playing it. >.> A simple fix in itself; leave it to me to take it as an excuse to completely revamp the time/weather/lighting system from scratch.

    Not enough rewriting. Don't forget to also rewrite your entire dialogue system while you're at it xD
    First, the failed hard drive. Then, the leaking garbage disposal. What a week! Now that I've fixed all that, finally, back to my game. Doing some foley work to make baby dino sounds today.
    Working on an "egg-hatching" minigame that plays kind of like whack-a-mole except you're sitting on eggs to warm them up as they get cold. Proud of myself since ~80% of it is handled by JS scripting. Just need to polish it up a bit more. Hoping this becomes the first part of my game I'm ready to make public, perhaps even as a playable demo.
    Now that Halloween's over, our very own backyard raptors went to town on the raptor pumpkin! WIth a sneak peak at "Sable's Theme (Remix)" from my game's soundtrack.

    (Not sure if I'm sharing this video right, hold onto your butts...)

    I still can't tell if I successfully shared it. It says "Loading tweet..." and doesn't show anything for me but I don't know if that's due to privacy settings, my horrible DS-Hell connection, or what. Do videos from Twitter share here...? Oh well.

    Thanks!
    Gotta vent a minute: "Move routes" have been unintuitive and clunky since the 90's and I absolutely cannot believe there is no built-in functionality to direct an event to an x, y coordinate. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    I don't have MZ either but I haven't seen improvements to move routes touted anywhere. And yeah, the TED talk reference is definitely ironic, more in reference to the fact that I'm saying something that no one cares what I'm saying, similar to a TED talk. XD

    I think it would be great to tell an NPC to pathfind to specific coordinates, but I think the reason it was done this way was because Move Route is a lot of things, one of which is actually changing the location of an event. That just happens to be the primary usage of it. If anything, I'd want both.

    Unfortunately, part of why it's this way is so that common events can use the same commands and interface as map events
    Now RPG Maker has brought him here. He will never be rid of his need for it. He hates and loves the RPG Maker, just as he hates and loves himself. Featherbrain's life is a sad story. Yes, Featherbrain, he was called. Before the RPG Maker found him. Before it drove him mad.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
