    My biggest dilemma regarding RPG Maker MZ: if I buy it, would it be better to transfer my old project (and accept that I have to start some things from the scratch) or start a new project (and risk abandoning the previous one)?

    I've restarted my current main project several times (proven by how I found a folder for it in my RMXP files), so it's probably best that I don't do that again, yeah.

    I reckon I'm mostly torn because I'm curious about MZ and buying an engine without anything to test it on feels like a waste. Maybe I'll just try to use the hype to work on my MV project and/or consider MZ pre-purchase for a few more days.

    @TheoAllen, depend on people's personality, if I buy the MZ, I will spend all of the time there. And the rest of the projects will collect the dust. I guess depending on your self-control and maturity like you. [My brain says I want it and I want to see the new engine.]

    @Kupotepo I like to explore the environment first before I start to make a real project on it. So I'll see about MZ. I explored MV first before I decided to take it seriously. But alas, I didn't like it so I went back to Ace. If after I explore MZ and I like it, then that would be a different matter.

    Trying to slowly crawl back from my hiatus. Now if I could only decide whether to ignore or try to fix all those plot holes in my game.

    That feeling when you find the perfect tune for your title screen but its chiptune sound doesn't suit the game. >.>'

    I know that I should be able to make my own version of the tune, but I'm not sure whether or not that would be against the EULA. I suppose I'll have to look into that - or see if I can find something similar but in a different style.

    Where does all the time go? It's been months since I've worked on my game, and even summer doesn't look promising due to work and RL issues.

    @fiddlesticks: Unfortunately my project is kind of personal in a way (or at least at the moment I have a relatively strong vision of what I'd want it to be like), so I doubt there's much other people could do for me. Thanks for the kind offer, though.

    I would be proud of my recent composing spree if all of my creations weren't 30-second clips in C minor.

    Hey, C minor is a good key ;)

    Nothing wrong with C minor. I hate playing flats on violin/viola, though, but 3 isn't too bad.

    Half of my music ends up in Gmaj/Em or Dmaj/Bm. Sharps are my best friend. I've written in those keys so often that I sort of "think" in them. I'll write in them but change the key at the end for variety's sake.

    It is a good key, aye, but I find it somewhat amusing and a tiny bit embarrassing that I seem to default to it nowadays. D major at least used to be another subconscious favourite of mine.

    I decided to take a look at my first RPG Maker projects after buying RM2k from the Steam winter sale. Some things haven't changed a lot in 15 years: my game are still a bit too "epic" for my own good... and I still make terrible jokes and puns.

    Time for me to disappear from the Internet for a couple of days and get all sentimental, like I am now when listening to this song. Heavy metal Merry Christmas everyone!

    Lately I've been struggling to get up before noon and (probably as a consequence) going to bed before 3 AM. It's annoying, especially because sun sets early and I miss most of daylight.

    Well sometimes you get screwed up and need a day to reset; where you sort of stay up a long time so you are tired at a normal time. Sometimes to if you have consistent sleep troubles it might be a sign of insomnia and it can also be both a cause and symptom of anxiety and depression.


    I've had to start taking sleep medication to relax and get consistent sleep at night.

    I've sometimes wondered whether I could be suffering from seasonal affective disorder (i.e. "winter depression"), but since I only exhibit some of the symptoms, it's probably not the case. Trying to reset my sleep schedule could be a good idea, though.

    That hilarious feeling when you start watching a new anime and notice that one of the main characters looks a lot like one of the main characters in your game.

    For me, sometimes the opposite happens. I watch an anime and my main characters look disturbing like those characters and I don't even try to do that.

    I'm pretty sure I've taken inspiration from things I've watched and played even subconsciously, too, heh. I guess it's relatively easy to have a character look like someone else from an anime or a JRPG due to certain tropes and such being popular; what amused me most in my case is that I thought that e.g. the hairstyle I chose for my character would be somewhat original and it's the biggest similarity between him and the other character.


    At least I have a good reason to watch Bungou Stray Dogs now. :p

I work late on the game so I sleep in then I wake up late so I have to work hard to make up for sleeping in meaning I work late again and sleep in again... what a nasty cycle.

I just had my first real fire. Dad made burgers for lunch and the grill caught fire. He tried to get water but I told him you should never put water on a grease fire. So I got him the fire extinguisher under the sink and we managed to put it out. I can still smell a little of the smoke coming from the patio, but at least it's clearing. It sure was scary though.

Could not for the life of me figure out how to implement the dual/triple techs in Touch the Stars in a player-friendly way. Was describing all the problems to my wife and just rubber-ducked a solution that should work brilliantly.

I think I'm going to make each equippable item in my fantasy RPG grant a skill while its worn (in addition to the character's learned skills). Equipped gear that might be weaker in stats can still be useful in certain situations if the skill they grant exploits a weakness or resists a strength in the monsters being fought. This could potentially open up lots of build strategies to play with for fun.
