Kes

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.

I got mine on both the PC and a thumb drive.

Even if you don't have any external drives, you can always back up to multiple free cloud services. While the reliability of these may be questionable, there is no denying that it is better than no backups at all. One good way of doing it is to zip your project and email it to yourself in gmail. Gmail is reliable and gives a lot of free space.

Thanks, reminders like these, (and getting machine) are what made me back mine up. Meow.

No need to apologize! We don't fault our members for posting in the wrong place

Always safe to assume any bug is with your game and not the program If I had a dollar every time someone said "bug with the program" and it was something they'd done wrong ... I'd be able to stay here chatting longer rather than go to work!

@Nightshade That's okay.

@starlight dream run windows 95 for maximum coolness!

@FleshToDust I would if I could.

Careful when online MS don't try to drill its products to you.

Now I'm going to be torn between working on my game and playing yours! What do you reckon is going to be the playtime for someone who's really lousy with RPGs?

when do you plan to release on steam? (Not that I want to get it from there - I dislike the platform - just curious how long you'll avoid it)

@Shaz Playtime - hmm, that is so player dependent. Not less than 12, and if you are really bad, say 46? But hopefully I've designed it so that you always have at least some idea of what to do next, which reduces wasted time. As for Steam - that's not decided yet. I'll avoid it for a while so as to maximise sales without Steam taking their cut from the income. A year maybe?

@The Stranger Thanks. I am much happier with this artist than the previous one. It's more my preferred style.

Hope all the forum sees it; it seems great.

@Marquise* Thank you.

I hadn't heard of that one before.
Just been and looked at the prices. Faints.

I think a few years ago, I got a demo of camtasia, I used it because it was the best one available to record an old classic game I played called Ultima Online. Most other screen capture stuff (at the time) just sucked. I haven't visited the camtasia suite page in a long time. Demo is fully featured I believe. And lasts like 30 days maybe?

@Sauteed_Onion I'll bear that in mind for the future.
Thanks.
