  • Phew, redoing maps is so much fun. I'm making the base in Gimp, decorating it in the editor (because I'm using Ace tiles in MV). Finally things are starting to look good!
    My second childrens book is finally uploaded and approved and available to buy! I am so happy!
    Disaster has struck! My file for A Witches Heart has failed me. I will need to start the whole game from scratch! I am devestated!

    So sorry to hear about this. Often times it is easy to view a situation like this as a bad one. I lost a lot of progress on my new game, which was sad because I was very happy with how it turned out. In hindsight, I was able to rework and streamline a lot of systems, and I learned a very hard lesson about making backups.

    Turn this devastation into a platform for creation. Were here for help and moral support!

    The worst thing was I had four backups, two on different files on my harddrive, one on one drive and the one on my computer, and all four of them were ruined. I have no idea what happened. devestated. But I suppose it means I can restart and remake using my own graphics properly.

    I'm sorry to hear that you weren't about recover your game data. Since you have to restart development maybe you could think of ways you games could be streamlined or add a new feature or two if want(so long as it fits within your vision of the game).
    You would think being off work and in semi-lockdown I'd have a chance to work on my games... but apparently not

    I'm spending more time trying to calm my mother down about online shopping, and trying to make it not so obvious I'm not 'working working' to my poor husband who is working from home. Maybe I might get to game make for an hour later?
    I need to stop inviting people for dinner. I have such a headache from being up so late last night (I don't drink, my husband does and I bet he won't have a headache), and I have to start cooking so the ham is finished in time for dinner. Why do I do this to myself.

    Sure seems like it. Lol. But he also gets to sleep in because I’m not as mean as he is. Lol.

    probably a stupid question, but where would I ask about coverting music from XP to MV? I do actually have a long question to ask and have no idea where to post it.

    Nevermind! Please ignore! I think I've figured something out!
    Thanks!

    Idk what you've found, but you could try to look up at youtube. Ppl remixed XP and VX BGM into a usable format for MV. Idk if they allow you to use them though.
    I have come up with a great game idea. But I have too many other ideas I'm working on. *sob*

    The mechanics of it would be great fun, and its a complete departure from the story based games I usually work on. This one is pure gameplay, story seems to be working out very minimally... and I really don't have time to devote to it, and it's killing me that I can't stop thinking about it!

    Write it down and get it out of your system that way. Then you can return to your main project.
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    I may do just that. It will not get out of my head. And who knows, maybe the mechanics I’m thinking of might help my main projects
    it's funny, I keep expecting to find that someone has commented on something that I haven't even posted yet! lol.

    You getting refresh fever? The only prescription is more F5. Cowbell works, too.

    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    lol. refresh fever. Love that. It's for art I've done myself for the intro of my game, I havent even properly implemented it yet but I still expect everyone here to have seen it and commented on it. lol. Amuses me greatly at my own ridiculousness.

    You're just visualizing success lol, it's a good thing. A better thing would be to post the art ;b
    Ok, having spent now nearly 7 hours straight on converting my Ace game to MV, I'm starting to regret it.
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Not really, just so time consuming to make sure just one map is properly converted over, art, conversations. But the game will be better for having a larger screen, and MV has all the plugins I had specially made, so MV it will be!
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Don't even know what I'm saying anymore. lol.
    moving a game from ace to MV is really hard! Even with Shaz's awesome plugin!
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    but I'm having fun anyway. lol. This way all my games will be on the one engine. All I need now is for Celianna to make more awesome Ancient Dungeon Tilesets and I can make all my games using them. I love them all so much!
    I'm half forming an idea for a visual novel, and half considering what game I want to make in the IGMC next year (if there is one!)

    They don't have to have choices or romance, but it pretty common to have some sort of options.

    like any good medium it's all about what you want to present. But a VN that lacks choice is just a manga, so you may lose some audience.
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Paladin-Cleric of Awesome
    Cool, that makes sense. Just that so many VN's seem to be all romancy and multiple endings and stuff. I've had an idea based off a book I'm working on, there can be choices and stuff. I'll have to see how this works for me. lol.
    Trying to figuere out how to write a murder mystery story game idea.

    Is it a private investigator, unlikely crime solver, or a professional state worker? Once you have the protagonist and their style it's easy to construct, just work backwards. You'll be in full control of the story if you make sure to follow the events from the solving of the crime back to control the release of information.

    It’s actually a dead detective working through her psychic little brother to solve her own and another young woman’s murder.

The thing that stinks about parallax mapping is the time investment it takes to make one map, but it does help sell the art style of my game so... In for a penny, I guess.
chapter one of the demo is almost done i just need my protag's va to get me his lines
Who else is excited for RPG Maker Unite? I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Every time...I forget about this stupid pun every time, and every time I see it, I both love and hate my sense of 'humour'. If you can call it that.
