    Aqua_Dog was kinda growing on me though...But, eh, what can ya do? *shrug*

    I haven't been keeping up with besides screenshots, if you don't mind me asking: What's the premise of your latest game?

    Helping lost dogs get out of some woods. And barking at animals.

    Ah, that's different from most ideas i've seen around these parts. A refreshing change, if I must say! I think i'll check it out when it show's up!
    hopefully 242 MB isn't too bad a size. Though I'm sure it can be brought lower.
    I don't know if its better to credit myself with this name or the one I use for art stuff. The end is so confusing. But I learned a lot.

    You can send Archie a PM if you want to change name though. I used different names as well, three in fact, but this was the one I used the most.

    That's good to know - I might do it. Though it might be kind of complicated given that I do a lot of fanart, and I worry there might be copyright issues (even though its a free game) if I share my game with my friends there.

    Is TheoAllen what you like to be credited as though?
    TheoAllen
    TheoAllen
    Yes as for credit, with T and A being capital. Although since this name is quite common, sometimes I use either of the other two name if this name already registered in a site.
    Need to figure out how to credit the RPG Maker people for doing the tile art, and the animation art - and then I just need to touch up art!!
    Lots of skills that seem to be unused for the challenge game. I'm getting close to the deadline, so clean up might be risky.
    God, I am clueless how I'm supposed to make "the credits" - but at least I learned "again" that cutting uneeded content can be a good thing.

    Worse case just keep it simple, put a catchy song on and just slowly go through it. I suppose if you wanted more you could turn it into its own sort of mini-game or interactivity, show some bg pictures or something. Just don't let it keep you from getting the game done.

    How to make it simple:
    > add new menu in title screen
    > Write them all there
    Managed to whip up a simple enemy level script. Scary how easy things that seemed impossible turned out to be in the end.

    Welcome to the world of programming.

    God, how much could have got done sooner if I just started digging through the base code - since every answer is in there, or just asking how the code works. So many wasted moments...

    only 10 days till my deadline - my stomach has been in knots, even though it shouldn't be since this is supposed to be a fun challenge.
    It just dawned on me, that since I'm using the default tiles - I should have been using the color palette of them for my battlers/icons - ug
    Pen has a habit of drawing before touching the tablet. Requiring restart to fix. I need to draw lots on my day off, it sucks when it does it

    It's a wacom tablet - lately it's been acting like its clicking and dragging just above the surface. Makes drawing with it tedious, and has a tendency to delete tools in the worst cases or just moving them around.

    What I do when my wacom doe that is go to Services, look for wacom services/ Wacom professional, and restart it. It normally takes a few minutes to reboot the tablet back but it fixes the issue about 9/10 times

    I had tried that before - but while looking it up today, I was reading about pen problems, so I think its more of the pen's issue then the tablet. I think its getting stuck in "click mode" from being pressed too hard.
    I ended up making some useful self scripts today - but I really, really, just want to finish - but I keep learning - too much info going in!

    later you realized you awfully design your self script while making a game, you want to rewrite it but it's already integrated in your game, and u hate both urself and ur game.

    p.s: it happened to me.
    sleepy_sealion
    sleepy_sealion
    Yeah, I could have stopped at the log "weak/resist" displays because that was needed - all the state effect testing I could have skipped, because victor had that covered - and my state animation system turned out to have some major kinks later on.

    Or you write a script that you think works only to learn after you release a demo that your script had a critical bug that causes actors to permanently lose stats if they were KO'd which caused players to have actors with 2 ATK and MAT at the end of your demo.

    PS: That happened to me.
    with global variables comes global responsibility. (I hope they don't count towards the 10 variable rule though!)

    Yeah, I get what you mean - I think the game can survive without player "achievements" - though hopefully all the stuff using the game variable terrain/region checks + common event is ok, because I'd be in trouble then.

    Well, there's only one way to find out :D
    TheoAllen
    TheoAllen
    can I read a variable named $responsibility as "global responsibility"?
    I'm unsure if I'm going to have time to animations for all the attacks - but I can't just mishmash custom + default animations can I.
    TheoAllen
    TheoAllen
    Default animation isn't bad. It just overused that I begain to hate it lol.

    You can mishmash them, but need to do it cleverly.
    Ugh, just a few more battlers to draw - but I'm kind of drained lately, and my jobs been getting tough. But so clooooose...come on armmmms
    getting close to the end, hoping things don't get to stressful so I can meet the month goal. I feel like I missed the point of the map chal.

Is it okay to post links to your game when its completed in the profile posts here? I'm wondering because I've never done it out of concern it may come off as gauche, or may be against some rule or something, but I've seen others do it.
