    Thinking about features and plugins I used that were available for MV but aren't for MZ is giving me anxiety like when Skyrim released the Special Edition.

    Notice how with every version of RM, the old scripts/plugins get rendered obsolete & a new library has to be either ported or made from scratch? Enterbrain's & Kadokawa's notorious 2 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back policy.

    Rm2k3 had randomizing dungeons each time you entered them, gone & never brought back. VX Ace had a map max size of 500x500, now NERFED to 256x256, because mobile devices have less processing power than PCs. Let that sink in...

    Kadokawa? Degica? Enterbrain? I don't know what to believe anymore... but whoever you are you are awesome.

    Degica is the world-wide publisher. Enterbrain developed VX Ace. Spike Chunsoft (Honestly what even is that name?) developed MV, as far as I'm aware. Kadokawa (KDKW) is the parent compant to both Enterbrain and Spike.


    Degica is a separate company that helps publish products world wide, doing things like community management and translation, I believe. Ultimately, Degica can recommend things that the community wants, but KDKDW gets the final say for development, and promotions held by Degica.

    Nice explanation.  Degica isn't just working with KDKW though, they have other clients too.  I think they mostly translate and distribute games.

    I know each online community has a bit of a "niche" when it comes to what each does... where is the best place to post a story idea or even a demo with the basic story fleshed out to get feedback and possible ideas on how to "tie it together"?

    Do you make all your interior maps for a town on one map? If so, how much space do you leave around so you can't see the other rooms?

    Honestly, I don't, but I should. Like I need to bloat the maps.


    I'll probably go overboard and put at least 20 tiles.

    ace at standard resolution 8 tiles distance will never allow the player to see the rooms on either side.

    I use 20 tiles. Overboard, but this way if I learn one interior needs an extra 2 - 3 tiles I'm still safe.

    ALRIGHT, I tried to hold out but you got me, Degica. Just preordered MV. Now all I need is Yanfly's ATB system and I'll be a happy happy man.

    I hope soon! I love that battle system. I turn off all the wait and its so much fun that way

    So after wasting a week not being able to come up with an idea I liked, I was hit with inspiration yesterday. Now the rush is on! But I have so much other stuff to do :(

    If you buy the Humble Bundle and have RPGM already, what happens?

    Got it! Thanks! Now I see, I can choose which ones to download and which to make a "gift" coupon. After IGMC I want to run my own contest with RPGM Deluxe as a prize

    Ahahaha was about to make a thread asking if the Arum Universe was still in progress... I find that it doesn't come up in search because it has its own board! :)

    My boyfriend hardly mows our lawn. :( He usually ends up paying one of our friends to do it for him.

    I keep thinking about how nice it would be to go back to having an apartment. I hate mowing lawns.

    I live in a townhouse area where our landlord hires someone to mow our backyards. I am eternally grateful to have beautiful grass that I don't have to mow.

    So I bought GW2 while it was on sale... trying to get into Tarnished Coast server but its FULL... I guess this is the GW 2 equivalent of the hours I spent rerolling stats in other MMOs

    Anyone play Civ5? Montezuma declared war on me and hes not even on the same continent... do I just... ignore him?

    If you're on a map with a lot of water, sometimes it pays to have naval superiority... especially if you blockade ports of other cities or just generally destroy every ship you run across. Computers love to waste resources on huge naval fleets, even when they're unnecessary.

    Thanks! I'm researching Astronomy which will then give me Navigation. Poor Russia is going to die because Montezuma has 5 Captapults assaulting her poor city. And when I talk to her she says "Best of luck with your current conflict"

    My Camatasia Studio trial ended :( Anyone know of a similar free (or at least not $200) program for taking and editing lets play videos?

    Thank you everyone this gave me some options. ...I WILL Let's Play again!! ^_^ I tried the Lolilo before but there (again) was a limitation of not being able to edit without paying, and all the video and audio recorded in the same channel. I like to edit it before uploading to YouTube to remove some of the boring parts or if I screw up the point I'm trying to make (as I'm just doing reviews on my channel right now). I agree with Shaz, and I know I don't have the right...

    ...to say how much dev time went into their program but for $299 a pop, it seems they are price gouging people

    Wow... I just tried Dishonored for the first time and I didn't like it at all.

    It takes a bit of getting used to. Once you get into the first major area that lets you kind of "free roam" around it, it gets more interesting. Though, the stealth mechanic is a bit.... broken. If you want a good stealth game, pick up Deus Ex Human Revolution instead. Dishonored is mostly good for magic and experimentation.

    New game idea just hit me like a ton of bricks. Great... another project for me to probably not finish...

    When you get stucko n ONE project, and you get ideas for another, write them down. Don't leave behind a project like it's an old toy. If you get stuck, get up, stretch. Take a light walk. Get the blood pumpin'. :)

    Starcrescendo, the best advice I can offer, if you are going for multiple projects at one time, would be to KEEP THEM SMALL. I have finished off 3 games now, all of them about 3o mins of gameplay each, NONE of them an RPG. I am working on a 4th, 5th, and 6th game right now (whilst learning Ruby...)
    starcrescendo

    Thanks for the advice! It gets really frustrating sometimes. I've redone my intro multiple times because I keep wanting to tie everything together sometimes and its hard and it feels like a big old black hole... The multiple project thing seems to work well for the most part, because I've never gotten stuck on all 3 projects at one time. I definitely need to take your advice and work a lot SMALLER.
    starcrescendo
    God I'm so STUPID! Last time, I recorded a video with the Mic turned off. This time, I forgot that I had unplugged it to clean! I will now be doing a Mic test for ALL of my videos -_-

    Don't feel too bad, I taught an online class once with the mic not plugged in. Took me a while to figure out why they said I sounded so distant (as the pc mic was picking me up instead)

We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed and we've been, quite possibly, bamboozled.

Finally figured out the source of my problems - WindowBase's contentsWidth() doesn't actually return the width of its contents :kaoswt2:

New sprite in action! A-1-2 looks kinda goofy might need to upscale some of the tiles and decorations. And maybe change eliza's creepy laugh to more of a neutral mouth
