  • My "M.C. Escher" nightmare takes shape. :LZSexcite:

    Yes, mere RM rules no longer apply to me. I have escaped the Tile Map Matrix into the particle world beyond. :kaopride:

    @Hyouryuu-Na Excellent, that's one of my game's major inspirations. :LZSexcite:

    That's great then! I still haven't watched that series of hers ^^; Will watch when all this sh*t is over.

    The imagery is a lot fun, very symbolic and twisted. There's also a first game called "American McGee's Alice" that literally starts out with her in an insane asylum bed clutching a white rabbit doll. It's a dark stormy night, she stares blankly at the celing with wrists covered in bloody bandages, remembering her family all burning in a fire. Then white rabbit doll suddenly turns to her saying, "Save us Alice!"
    Haha... Oh wow, I tossed UltraMode7 in (guilty pleasure) and the nightmare that came about was a sight to behold.


    Here's the normal version for comparison...


    Not going to lie... the first one has me thinking of some ideas for the future. :LZSwink:
    Doing a bit of a remake on a map. Should be pretty cool whenever it's done. :LZSexcite:
    Seems just as quickly as they locked my FB account, they also unlocked it. No reason why... Just another one in a long line of doing so. I'm glad I only use it for Magic the Gathering stuff. Imagine if it was a real social network that was usable for something else. That would be awkward. :popcorn: Still I owe them thanks for highlighting that I need to be rid of them. Thanks FB! :LZSexcite:

    Facebook is that thing that has a messenger that family members use. That's all it is for me. X3 They've stopped asking me if I saw that thing they posted on facebook because the answer is always "nope."

    I was literally getting paid money to use it. I can't really be bothered to read what people post on there, I don't care one bit. Thankfully I discovered I could just unfollow everybody on it, so none of their posts show up... Then I can't even accidentally see one. :LZSexcite:

    A bit of a "sparkle" update to the lower portion of the world map. :LZSexcite:

    It's so silly overpowered as far as plugins go. You simply make an image with white where you want the player to able to go and any other color where you don't want them to go. I usually just take a pic of the map, and erase where I want the player to go, then save it as a second image. Other than that you just need to put one comment in a map pointing to that image to set it up.

    Yea I'll need to check that out sometime... If I ever need to make an actual normal map :D

    That's fair, it is scientifically proven that no actual games are made here. Let nobody tell you different. :LZSwink:

    Facebook is so weird, they keep locking down my personal account. Now they want to review it.... All I literally do on it is Magic card related stuff such as thumbs up some people's Magic related comments, and use messenger to converse with friends about Magic cards. I don't even post public comments, or profile posts. What a garbage company, time to finally ditch it. :LZSskeptic:

    Mind boggling really. I guess they must think I've been spamming for 10 years or something. They're pretty awkward on Instagram too (big surprise since they're also owned by FB). They actually called me a bot for following too many people and liking too many things. I guess FB is only happy if you hate everything. :LZSwink:

    They have succeeded, I detest Instragram as well, though I weirdly get a lot of likes on it for my game stuff. So against my better judgement I've have been slowly adding to it. I will refrain from liking stuff though, else they'll probably just ban the account. I just can't believe there's a worse platform than Twitter. :kaoswt:

    Account blocked!

    They are just afraid you try to take over the world with the power of ancient egyptian monsters sealed on a kids card game, its understandable. Of course it isn't, what in the world?
    So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

    Versus the normal look...

    Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:

    I forgot to post the animated version of the previous map I was working on. I'm still arguing with myself on if I like the stark blue ground better than the undergrowth ground used on the waterfall map. Hmm...

    I think the most important question would be: Why did you use RPG Maker anyway?

    January 1999, I saw MV listed on a site. I'd always scoffed at it before, but out of boredom I downloaded the demo and just started messing with it. At the time, I had next to no concept of even what a variable was. MV is how I taught myself how to program. Sure if I knew now what I knew then and was starting I wouldn't use RM. But as I knew nothing, it's ease of use is why I'm here now.

    At this point, I've already set it up so I can produce maps like you see there in about 3-4 hours... And I'm not exactly slaving away, I watch YouTube and stuff.. Add to that all the other stuff I've figured out, and there's not really a reason to leave. I kind of have everything I need here for now. Plus I really want to finish this game, and starting on some other software would only set me back a lot of time.


    So I figured out how to put words and pictures in the screen transition. It even wipes away from both the top and bottom. The possibilities are endless! :LZSexcite: I'm going to devise secret messages now for them because I'm a terrible wonderful person like that. :kaopride:


    WIP for a new map. :LZSexcite:

    Further along, and look space has decided it's dark now... Got to love the randomly generated backgrounds. :LZSwink:

    I had the greatest shower idea... You start out super powerful and instead level in reverse losing power as the levels continue. If you want to avoid the reduction, you collect the power ups to simply maintain status quo. Either way levels get harder. That should help convey the feeling of hopelessness this chapter wants. :LZSexcite:

    Today represents my one year anniversary of throwing out the tile map. :LZSexcite: One year ago my game looked like...


    And now for those that don't know, it looks like..


    What a year, what a year indeed. RIP Tile Map, nobody misses you. :LZSwink:

    So a day like today you ditched squares and shadows for the greater power of circles and sparkles, the day you became a true villain and sacrificed the squared-shapes!

    It occurs to me... I could make the player ride it. I mean I've got the right poses available... But there's exactly no gameplay reason to do that. Still by cycling two particles at the same time, I wouldn't even need to make the animation frames... Hmm... PIXI particles really are just straight cheating in the animation world. :LZSexcite:

    I did a bit of a remake on one of the maps, also I made a particle for jumping into the portal, and one for traveling through the portal. I'll probably add more sparkles later to embellish it. :LZSwink:
    Realizing my earlier maps are an abomination against all things, I'm doing a bit of a remake. Tell me if you can see the difference. :LZSwink:



    And the horrific before pics...

    Both are super creative but I like the second one better, easier on the eyes too!

    EDIT: Sorry, that's supposed to be a compliment. The second one is less bright. I'm impressed by both but your remake is pretty sweet. :LZScool:

    Interesting, that might be the first time I've ever heard bright pink and purple being easier on the eyes. :LZSwink:
    @Doinathing That's some high praise. I'm probably not making something on the level of Cuphead, but hey.... I appreciate it just the same. :LZSexcite: Also @Hyouryuu-Na is right, this is MV.

    Wow.... My last map GIF got 47 likes, 16 retweet and 2,105 views on Twitter in 24 hours. My game thread here's only got 3k views in 6-7 months. I guess building my Twitter was insanely worth it. :LZSexcite:

    Joking aside, everybody who doesn't have a social media presence for their game should start right now. Seriously it takes a very long time to build and if you wait till the last moment your game will go unnoticed. Also if you make a Twitter/YouTube/Instagram I will swap you follows/subs. Just have to let me know. :LZSwink:

    Thanks! And you definitely should. Having popularity really pays off, and the best part is once you have it... You have it for every game that comes after, so it's that much more likely your game does well. :LZSwink:


    Slaving away at more maps. :LZSwink:

    ..and create a collision map for QM-Collision Map, which is basically whiting out any portion of the map you want to be traversable. Follow the instructions in the plugin to set it as the collider for the map. All the particles are event based ones set to below the map. And Mog Weather EX takes care of the floating petals, and shooting stars in the background. That's the short explanation. :LZSwink:

    Ooh! If you wanted to make a video on it I could edit the video! I’m a video editor with 5 years of experience, I’d edit it for free.

    I might just take you up on that at some point. Though right now I'm racing to get the prototype done for this game, so I'm trying to avoid any kind of extra projects. :kaoswt:

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
