Kes

Maybe we should add this to the rules of Game Mechanics Design.

Question: does it still need the approval to post like it used to be?

@TheoAllen Game Ideas and Prototypes is no longer a moderated section, so you can post direct. There is a suggested template to help people.
@slimmmeiske2 yeah, good point.

Probably would be better if you PM kes instead of posting on his/her profile...

Ah! Drat you're right... Sorry I'm new here haha
Apologies. I will do that.

"Liarbox"

You can change it name to a illusion box or a big mouth chest.

Thanks so much guys. I made the update more as a moan than anything else. I didn't expect all these ideas to come flooding in. Nice to see creativity in action.

fallenlorelei... that is okay to do but remember, if the harddrive fails your backups are worthless. Its best to have backups on a different drive or source. I usually back up my projects to google drive <_<

You should backup, the backup of your backup. I remember the horror story of about a month ago where the dude lost 3 years worth of game, because he did not back up the project.

Yeah, ideally you'd backup in several places. On external hard drive (this is quicker if your project is big and internet connection isn't as fast), and also on the net somewhere in case you lose the external HD, but it can take a while to upload a ~500 MB project. I backup once every handful of days on external HD, and about once a month on the internet somewhere.

Doesn't it mean to climb up or down something quickly using your legs and arms? Makes me think of someone sorta hugging a tree. xD I imagine it's a fairly uncommon word outside our isles, @Kes.

@The Stranger I guess you're right. Trying to convey that with a synonym doesn't seem possible. I'll have him say something else.

I love using these sorts of things in games, though. Regional dialects and what not can really help breathe life into your characters. While playing Ni No Kuni 2, I was introduced to a whole town of people who used a Midlands dialect. It put a bloody huge grin on my face, what with being from that neck of the woods an' all. Man, I do love me some regional dialects in games\stories. xD

Murphy's law... it strikes when you least expect it, so better to be prepared.

I've been thinking about doing so lately. Considering all the events I've placed in, that is a good idea.

DONE! Happy New Year Kes! May it be as benevolent toward you as your status PSAs ^^

Each thread has their own videos, that's what that forum is for. You don't see the contest, you see people playing a game. Have a look at a couple of them. Some IGMC reviews will have videos e.g. Indrah, others will be written.

Thank you for the explanation. I am easily confuse and get lost here, sorry to brother you and take time out from your game making.

@Kupotepo Don't worry about it, it's much better to ask for an explanation than to stay confused.

Got you doing overtime trying to keep everything organised, Kes? xD

Nightmare - this is the sort of reason why I have so little time to work on my own project.

@Kes, lol that would be terrible for contest if you would not complete your game.

Good thanks, you?

I am doing well thank. I did not close the thread. I think is Kes.

But they always include the links! That’s the most important part.

To start a private message go to your inbox (or you can float your cursor over it on computer) and choose Start a new conversation. Then you can add a subject title and choose participants by typing in user names (you can do multiple participants by separating names with a comma). There are also settings you can adjust for the conversation as well. Its sort of like sending an email to someone.

@Kupotepo If you want to try it out, try sending me a test message.

Bumping - which comes from Bring Up My Post - is posting something which causes the thread to become active again and moves it up the list of topics. You can do this if there have been no posts by anyone for 72 hours.

Thank you.

The best way to get a thread closed is to use the Report button on your opening post and ask for it to be closed. That way you won't have to wait until I come back on site to see this, as Mods might not see a post or an Update, but will see a Report.

Always sage advice.

Remember to test your backup system as well

Thanks for this reminder! It's been a couple of months but I'm going to back up my project NOW.

You can start a new thread. And if solution based on old thread doesn't work, you can link the old thread to your new thread and ask about it.

@Poryg Find me that rule!
To be fair, I have made other Updates, though not recently, it is true.

Whoops, after checking with the rules it looks like I've mixed in some rules from a different community

Oh dear I was talking about that yesterday XD I am reallly late ^^

First, two questions about this. One, how many textures? Two, will the person making them be paid?

If there are just a few textures, and it will be free, put it in Resource Requests. If there are a lot of textures, and it will be free, use Project Recruitment. If the artist will be paid, post in Classifieds, regardless of the number of textures.

Classifieds will not be visible until you have reached 30 posts.

I am not a moderator, so I could be wrong about what I said above, but I am basing this off of what moderators have said in the past.

And P.S., good luck getting those textures done.

If you have an issue with a script, you should first post in that script's topic. If you don't get a reply there you can make a new topic in RGSS3 Script Support.

Agreed. I back up projects on Fridays, and I do a image backup of my HDD on Sundays. Sometimes, and not just for RM projects, I make a copy of what I'm working on just because!

I had a backup go bad once too. Now I keep multiple backup dvds, and rotate between them.

Yeah, multiple backups are a good idea. Because a backup external drive could get corrupted or lost or who knows what else. If you're not limited on internet bandwidth, storing some backups online somewhere like in dropbox or google drive is a good idea. At least once a month or something. And if you can't backup everything, at least backup the Data folder of the project.
