Speaking of match 3 games, the one I like and I'm still playing occasionally is Gems of War. Probably the most innovative match 3 games I've ever tried so far.

@Wavelength that's probably why I haven't been able to do one successfully. In all of the game engines I've attempted, I get stuck trying to figure out how to detect matches. The rest of it seems easy enough, I just never get past that part.
@Poryg that's very true. A lot of them seem to do the exact same thing. Perhaps, after my game is done, that'll be a side project.

Detecting matches is easy, here is how. You only need to detect the middle match, i.e the second from 3 matches. The check goes like "is there another me on vertical/horizontal line?", if yes, mark for delete. To detect 4 matches, it's simply checking if any of the grid had been marked twice for delete.

idk, drawing feet had always been a fun thing to me. but lately i've been drawing hands better than feet, and that feels... bizarre.

Boots/Shoes perspective is still easier than hands most of the time though.

True.

Battle is finally coming along. Hopefully, it'll get better as I release more builds.

There is. You just press the comment button below your initial post and write your reply. Also, good luck with your game.

O, Okay I think I see it now and thanks <3

Would love to see a tutorial or two matey.

Just mix them all up. Call it your RPG Cocktail Palooza. It'll be your ultimate video game.

Like a game dev casserole. Not bad at all.

With my characters and what usually happens to them I usually receive that in a dream. I know one thing that is going to happen in a later game for the Detective Raven Series because I had a dream of it.

It's likely due to the fact that I'm trying to combine tower defense mechanics with RPG stats so it takes a while to figure out what the most efficient layout would be. But hey, at least GUI is fun for me.

That was me with my main project. I did not want to risk file corruption, so I made so many different copies, each with a different name.

Yes! it's the sensible thing to do when you've had it happen where you lose the file, or overwrite the wrong one. Long as you track what you work on it shouldn't be too hard to find. Keeping a log word file in that folder!

Me too man.. me too.

It's funny you say that, 'cause I'm listening to an RPG tavern music playlist right now.

Having to make a harmonic variation in a peaceful music can look deceivingly easy, but it'll get easier the more you work on it.

@HexMozart88 Maybe I read your mind!? Sounds like you got the right idea though to get back on track (Some music related puns there for you!)

..........get that ball! MEOW!

Nice! Now let's see where it ends up....

Nice!

LOL, ironically, only one character gets properly beheaded in the entire game (though there may be others in some of the wars that take place).

XD Then yes, you gotta add more decapitations, or the new title won't work.
Sprites without heads = easier to make too!

Now I wanna make a game with a bunch of headless sprites in them...

Not that my game is slow, it just needs a decent amount of time to delete all of the effects and transition the parallax overlays so that it doesn't look choppy. But, it's taking some time to refresh itself, so I'll probably do a "now loading" popup like MV's for when it takes a couple of seconds.

Awesome, time to get cranking away!

What's up?

You got this! Push throughhhg

@Sauteed_Onion one script giving the same error no matter where I put it, and one not opening at all. But I don't know enough about JavaScript to know how to fix it.
@Drenz thanks. It just frustrates me when I'm moving on to something new that I should be good at and finding I'm back at square one.

You're under the anime influence.

Yeah, I probably still am, LOL.

Nothing necessarily wrong with that haha

You can PM me if you need a play tester^^

@starlight dream thanks. Once I release the next build of the demo, I'll send one your way.

Great

Actually, that's a completely standard thing in programming.

a well written plugin should be extremely easy to break by commenting out a single line, because each line of code in a well written program actually does something! And as soon as your plugin is expecting one thing to happen that doesnt... well, thats that...

@Poryg and @?????? Yeah. It was one of Moghunter's. I was trying to get rid of the elaborate animations and just make the commands highlight normally. Looks like I had deleted the wrong line. XD

@Tai_MT I started with an illegal copy of 2000 back in the day too, although it was VX that had just come out when I went to search for a modern version to buy. I only have the version on the gameboy because it was a neat little oddity that I picked up at a use game store a while back.

At one point, I wanted to own the versions for PlayStation, but I never owned a PlayStation, so I could never buy 'em.

If your computer hasn't crashed yet, you're fine.

(I've got six on this LP along with a few heavy games. Hasn't plugged up yet.)
