    I'm busy tearing stuff out of Terrax Lighting until I get to the heart of the actual script... Truly of all the plugins I've seen, this has to be the most difficult one to edit (it's not object oriented). But I started with 3,221 lines (had the Ultra Mode 7 edit) and now I'm down to 2,240... It still does everything I was using it for. :LZSexcite:

    Oh wow! That's fantastic! Saw on the thread that it runs faster for you, so congratulations on that!

    Yeah I actually edited it again earlier today, was running tests and thinking the tests were successful.. Then I realized I was actually editing the wrong copy of it... And when I tested today's edits they broken. :kaoswt: So well at least the version I posted works well.

    Two weeks ago, upgrade graphics to PIXI particles... Game no longer has trouble with 5 enemies on the screen.
    One week ago... Upgrade to PIXI 4.8.9... Game adds back in Terrax Lighting.
    Today Upgrade to PIXI 5.3... Game now does 60FPS in 1920x1080 (was 1280x720 before)...
    I'm not even sure I want that resolution... But I can't pass up more power. :LZSexcite:

    Now I kind of want to investigate PIXI lights as a replacement for Terrax Lighting. Hmm....

    4K PVGames graphics and glitter FTW

    I prefer their more technical name of "sparkles" versus glitter. :LZSskeptic: Glitter's that awful crap that's basically sand if sand identified as shiny. Never comes out of anything, and if you spill it you'll be finding it in every nook and cranny for weeks. :kaolivid:

    It would look good in 4k though... :LZSexcite:

    I really just enjoy the threads about Lord Em Zed, and his continuing oppression of the spandex wearing Em Zee rangers. * wipes a tear away * It's beautiful! As a villain I can get behind all forms of oppression, except that which is against flying winged slimes who deliver cupcakes.... I mean I'm not a monster after all! :kaoback:
    ImaginaryVillain
    Well now that my intern has left, hopefully she wasn't too useless. Honestly you step out for one cultist meeting to summon Lord Em Zed to deal with some spandex wearing teenagers, and she's already changing all of my avatars. :LZSskeptic: I guess we know who's volunteering for our sacrifice next week. :mrsatan:

    I'd like to take this moment to talk about summoning and cults. Just because you summon doesn't mean you're in a cult, and not all cults summon. And people who sacrifice without chanting are wasting a person.
    ImaginaryVillain
    ImaginaryVillain
    That's what I'm saying, too many unfair stereotypes about innocent cults. I mean sometimes we just want to gather together to barbecue in a backyard, and not at the human sacrifice pits. People can be so unfair! :kaolivid:

    And I don't know about sacrifices without chanting being a waste, how else are we supposed to deal with Karens who want to see the manager? :kaoback:

    Oh whatever man, you do this every week. "Oh, this time we're really gonna sacrifice someone." Ten to one you're gonna end up at Wendy's grabbing a Baconator. Let's do something real, man

    At first I was like... Geez, I should probably get a better microphone so I can do YouTube stuff. Then I tried my headset and discovered it actually sounds pretty good (with the right filter setup)... But I haven't really listened to my own recorded voice much... So I was quickly doing voice impressions and cracking up. No RM work was done this night. :kaoswt:

    Have you given yourself a dark lord voice morph? :p I have a program called Morph Vox Pro that has a lot of fun voice changers, one of which is a dark lord.

    I can actually do a deep dark voice. I considered that... Then again I also don't want to scare people away from my RM stuff, at least not videos on how to do stuff. But if I play the narrator for my game or if I decide to read horror stories or something... I'm set. :LZSwink:

    I'm kind of debating on how much to include in my tools plugin. It's basically has the formulas I use for event vs event/array proximity, player vs event/array proximity, how my events track the player, how they locate objects, a data scoop for on player direction and a data scoop for any spot you want. Somehow I don't think the normies would use most of that. :kaoswt:

    Maybe I should just give them my event interaction formulas and call it a day. I did at the very least promise some people that. :kaoswt:

    Honestly I didn't really write it for other people to use. I mean they can, it is after all just lots of formulas. I could just package the 4 formulas I have for if events are too close or too far, and the ones if events are too close or too far from the player. Those 4 formulas basically handle all the interactions in my game anyway. It's what people have been asking for.

    As I remake my entire game in particles... (because solid graphics are for silly people)... I can't help but hear the intro to the "Particle Man" song. :kaoswt:
    ImaginaryVillain
    Decided to take a break from working on the other area to rework this one. I've done two major randomizer restructures since I even looked at it. :kaoback:




    Lots of reworking ahead, definitely not satisfied with how it looks right now. :LZSskeptic:

    Not yet, but it's on the road to it. :LZSwink: I really only planned two biomes that were all nice... One just happen to be at the beginning so I've been working it more than others. The other 4... well... We're going down the rabbit hole. :LZSexcite: Depending on how long it takes there might be more.. But I need those 6 biomes to specifically tell the story I have planned.

    Realizing my old water was ugly and the embodiment of all that is failure in this world... I have devised a much better method of animating it. :LZSwink:

    I did not realize tonight would be the night that I would completely redefine how I do things. No longer will I need Mog Character Motion, Mog Character Particles or Mog Weather EX.... This new method also uses overwhelming less RAM and CPU. :LZSexcite:

    The best thing about that comment is the person on Instagram who just said last night, "This game style is very beautiful". One thing is for certain, my graphics are very polarizing. :LZSexcite: But yeah I like this new look way better as well. :LZSwink:

    Before protests/riots... California was slowly removing the lockdown.
    After protests/riots... Californians are now "required" to wear cloth masks (as of yesterday) for the first time since the pandemic began.

    RIP dreams of the outside world. :kaocry:
    On the bright side, it seems people want to give me infinite time to work on my game. :LZSexcite:

    So I keep a lot of backups.... And I mean way, way back. Most of them I keep to remember how far I've come. Something I think everybody should try. So for those interested in a walk down memory lane...

    Ah okay that makes sense. One of the things I do is I setup a count, and ever 60 frames it goes up by 1. Then I run a check to see what number it's at, and if the player is within range of a spot. If they are, I put the enemy just off the screen so they player sees them doing their behavior. And if the player is too far away I remove the enemy. But the count is running so the enemy "moves" even off screen. :LZSwink:

    Yeah I have a "narrator" event, it's watching the player's location and providing "entertainment" for the player at all times. Also there is nothing saying the event can' t keep more than one count. Or spawn based on other conditions. :LZSwink:

    Well I am working on an early combat stress test video. It should be up either tonight or tomorrow. So you'll get more "SPORKLES". :LZSwink: I decided to break it and the world creation mechanic videos up. It turns out the areas don't start like that, you actually free the pieces so they can spawn in the world. And I'm working on letting the player imprison stuff so it is removed from the world as well. :LZSexcite:
