  • I broke over 100 maps in my current project and didn't even realize it. It doesn't feel like I have mapped 100 areas. XD
    (Sigh) Hubby and I are gamers. Hubby has been questioning why we even bother with Christmas or bdays for our boys (5&4yrs) when they play video games all the time. I'm starting to wonder too when they ignore their toys... :( I feel raising kids is so different when I was growing up. Maybe that's just me?

    Thank you everyone for taking the time to comment. I do already limit their time gaming but I do love the suggestions of board games and drawing games. My middle son has drawn novellas of Kirby's adventures before, which is just adorable. I just can't get my eldest to take interest in art. Just today I asked if he wanted to draw Hollow Knight and he was all, 'Hmm..no.' XD

    @Finnuval people sleep at different times, and even sleep different hours... what are you going to try to do, defy biology? But, by all means, if you want to annoy them...

    @ATT_Turan well, yeah, ideally it's show, not tell... I certainly would try that if I took care of any, but since I don't... I'm certainly not saying people shouldn't eat sweets...

    @Nereid you're missing the point I think but whatever. Not gonna discuss raising children with you. Also not gonna let my kid stay up indefinitely cause of biology and have them crash at school. Be that annoying or not.
    How well did I do for my first official Advent this year? Did anyone have a particular favorite or is there something anyone wants to see me expand on in the future?
    For anyone curious why I haven't been updating my resources thread, it's because I reached the max limit for the site to host images. I wasn't aware that was a thing and have been debating for over a week now on whether I should break the thread into three separate ones: Transformers inspired, Hine Sprite inspired and the RTP inspired.

    Could you upload it to an external site like Google Drive?

    @ATT_Turan - I missed that. I will have to look into it.

    @Avery- Aha! That explains a bit. I did see that people hosted outside the site but didn't know how to do that myself.

    @HexMozart88 -I suppose I could? I recently figured out how to host from my private Discord account for pictures for my Transformer Fanfiction on AO3. Maybe I can do the same here? I will have to try it out.
    Our elder family dog died suddenly last night. I realized almost too late the warning signs: stopped eating for two days (I thought she didn't like the food). When her back legs gave out the situation hit me. It's bittersweet. She had health problems her whole life so I am glad she isn't suffering anymore.

    I am sorry to hear that, Lunacero. It is always hard. I have had some great dogs in the past that I wish could live forever. It was my young boy's first time experiencing it. Two of them are too young to really understand, but my eldest was there when it happened. He's been asking me a lot of hard questions about souls and life and death all day.

    Sometimes, I just hate how existence works...
    While looking into ancient lighthouses, I discovered ancient Greeks invented automatic doors using a pulley system of fire, gases and water!
    I can hardly believe it is the third day of Christmas and I have yet to put up decorations! Spending my morning cooking breakfast and getting them up.
    Things that drive me crazy: creating a walking sprite, hating the animation movement, then realizing a pixel design exists I could have used as reference beforehand and not lost time. Ugh.

    I recently spent a bunch of time on a sprite edit...only to remember I only needed to middle "face down" image.

    That was bad enough, creating your own before realizing it could have been easier sounds like more lost time. :(
    Guardinthena

    Ouf. I feel you. Whether the edit is a small project or large it always stings when you realize it could have been easier. I try to take it as a lesson learned and try to prepare better for next time. Not much else I can do, right?

    Very true!
    Been doing a bit of research and found out there are approx. 14 dragon types. I thought the Lindwurm from northern countries was interesting. And Quilin from Eastern mythology. Anybody have a favorite?
    • Wow

    Yeah, the cockatrice isn't commonly considered a type of dragon either. They're usually considered to be the product of a rooster egg that got incubated by a snake. But they've been used in enough fictional universes over the years that I'm sure that somebody somewhere has portrayed them as dragons.

    That is the dragon type with No wings, no front arms and only a pair of back legs. It was named...T-Rex.

    Whelp. I just burned my fingertips on playdough and gave myself blisters. Didn't realize that was possible but apparently that is a thing when making homemade playdough.
    Pffft! So, my sense of humor runs dark sometimes. Set up: I am making a frogman/bullywug sprite. Would it be funny if loot off the monster were...frog legs?
    I'm looking at images of bullywugs and I realized something.... Gollum from the old animated The Hobbit movie looks a bit like them.
    Somehwat confused. Just realized this but was Yanfly's Itch page changed so we can no longer purchase indivdual plugins?

    Yes, but that change has been in place for a long time now.

    Last time I looked was two years ago so Im not surprised!
    Ooooh no! (face palm) I just realized I can still make enemy sprites move even after using Yanfly's EventChasePlayer plugin. I have no idea why I had it in my head that they couldn't. I feel so silly. Guess I was focused on other aspects of the game--like map building.
    Woot! Finished the first asset for the Advent Calendar this year!

    That sounds like me! XD Hubby has to remind me all the time that I overthink and to scale back. As for modern stuff, yeah! Everytime we drive someplace and I see the power line towers and think that would be interesting to do. And the wind towers--then remember you already did the wind tower! XD

    It just feels like modern stuff is generally much less used than fantasy things. When I played Titan Quest I was so tempted to make ancient greek or egypt resources, but then again I would have to make enough so people can make a proper map with them or they might be useless... the struggle^^'

    I have actually considered making ancient greek and Egyptian decor myself. I think Pandamaru stsrted that before she left the community too, right? And I know there arr already quite a few eyptian pieces, unless I am mistsken and those are Ace pieces reused for MV? What did you have in mind for those sets?
    Something that is wild to me is that I have my 5 and 4yr olds test playing my game, and based on their advice I add to the maps. And everytime it is the best thing in the world. Nintendo was on to something. XD Totally ignore their input on the difficulty of monster fights though XD

I was wondering why Skyler's hair looked weird on their new sprite. Well I forgot adding their iconic hairband
Anyone up to give Holder, TRIDIUM, GenericFantasyDev and Black Mage the fight of their lives?
Go ahead.
"The internet made everyone way too comfortable with disrespecting each other and not getting punched in the face."
I woke up a touch early and was going to draw by the fireplace until it’s a more appropriate noise-making time, but I left my stylus AND my glasses (WHAT?!) upstairs and it’s just too cold to get out of the blanket now.
Made some simple samples with the Time Reversal Mechanic. It would be interesting to make a bigger puzzle where you could dynamically choose which elements are affected by the time reverse. But if there's much more than move routes and waits, it's starts to get too annoying for my brain :D Like even that exploding bomb was such a bother.
