Which portraits exactly? I have a lot of DLCs for the character generator. Mainly the Heroine Character Packs for the outfits and accessories. Some were modded outside of MV in GIMP too.

@Switz - Yes I am still working on the barracks and adding more pilots into the map. I was trying to get that air of "betterness" that pilots tend to have over "army grunts" by making them seem pretigious in their nicknames and casual attitude in their offtime. Not sure about the sewers thing, this base is in Greenland.

Thanks, I was mostly referring to Sylvia so I'm assuming it has parts from the Heroine pack. It looks really nice!

"Dreadmill" lol i like it.

Food processing plant, Hydroelectic Power Station, or a Freighter frozen in the ice

Ship. Because why not?

Ship it!

@IguanaGuy Yup! In my mind trains+RPG=suplex ever since I first played that scene. I know I'm not the only one.

@Tw0Face - Yes the background is a parallax so I could always alter the clarity of it to give it a more speedy look. I may try that.

@IguanaGuy Zoom Blur is a great effect for this, just have it blur in the opposite direction of the the scrolling.

Ah yes - shooting spiders is good. I approve.

@BadLittleSeed - Maybe you would like this as well!

This? This what? Where? Not more spiders I hope... *looks around*

sorry I meant to put this comment on the video above this one for you to see. But it looks like you found it anyway!

Interesting. Like the animations.

If you are talking about the lighting effects, it is the Terrax Lighting plugin plus some careful use of light on/off switching.

Meant the doors, they looked elaborated.

I like the look, and the fading into houses instead of a map change is just swell!

@RetroExcellent - Thanks. Its a mix of custom tile stuff plus creative eventing. I hope to make a how to vid someday soon as I fell this makes a nice change to town setups.

This is my latest work in my game progress. Sorry I have not created a page in the games in dev section yet.

@Kes - Can you give me more info about game threads? I would be glad to post this where I can get more feedback and exposure. I was only aware of the game + map screenshots one. I don't like using the game mechanics one b/c mine is game specific. (My project)

As you seem to have gone beyond the Ideas and Prototypes stage, then post in 'Games in Development'. https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?forums/games-in-development.20/
Be sure to read the Rules and Guidelines before drafting your post, and maybe have a look at other threads there to get ideas about presentation.

Thanks again @Kes , I copy/pasted the template from the forum page and am working on a submission for it.

That's quite a creative way of using it.

The Gab Window is pretty awesome.

It'd be kind of fun to play a game where you don't directly influence things, but cause a good ending by indirectly helping the "hero". This is kind of what the game Ghost Trick is like, but I'm thinking about something more indirect. It would be more puzzle than RPG I think.

Hahaha. I actually have a scene in one of my games that has a similar premise to this idea. Basically the party is going through a dungeon that was looted in a previous game; one party member, who was in that previous game, wonders why all the chests have their loot back despite remembering having looted them all.

Don't know if anyone has ever played Boss Monster Card Game but the premise is similar. You lure adventures to your dungeon by offering the loot they like to go after. Hey I would really like to see this in a game even if the hero just bumps into this guy atoning for his past thefts.

Love the mission map IguanaGuy

Oooh! How do you have your allies "come out of" The lead actor like that? I've been trying to figure that out for ages!

@Mystic_Enigma - I'll send you a message later showing you how I did that. Sorry I'm short on time ATM.

Well done.

@Poryg and @Kwerty thanks for your feedback. Although the demo wasn't showcasing that attack skill, I do need to work on the realism of that as well.

The theme of the “battle arena” is something I always enjoyed in RPG games and the run up to the first fight is great

@Kwerty - Funny thing is that I used a mutant squid when the arena is on the middle of a desert wasteland. It was just the first oversize enemy I had already setup and I copy/pasted it onto this map. In actuality, the arena will have enemies from the forbidden zone and hunter/human combatants too.

I used the First Seed Grassland Tiles and blended different layers together to smooth out the tile look on the Forbidden Zone map. Then I added different map pieces from various tile set pages to get that strange land look. The Town in the corner was made at larger size and scaled down to look smaller on the map.

Maybe post in Game and Map Screenshot thread?
