I picked up For The King in a Humble Bundle sale, and one mechanic that stuck out to me was a physical change to the world map when finishing a side quest. That got me thinking about special map-effect rewards for certain side quests in my game.

I just picked up Olivia's Aggro Management plugin - this combined with Yanfly's Row Formation plugin should produce some interesting tactical options for my planned RPG combat.
I've been busy working on other projects this month so I haven't been able to do much towards finishing the prep work for my RPG, but I did brainstorm some interesting ideas for the game.
I just successfully tested changing music by region, and changing it between continents on the world map after getting on/off the airship. I had to override the default audio transitions with eventing to make it change smoothly but it worked.
I've reconsidered having a subclass system for my first two games since there will already be plenty of variation in playable actors and usable items in the games. The third game will need it because of the basis for the story but I want the actors in the first two to be more focused in their roles.
I tried out an old RPG called Septerra Core today. It has given me some interesting ideas to explore in regards to interaction with NPCs.
I just experimented with turning fullscreen on and off while in-game after learning that it's built into the engine and can be toggled using either scripts or just pressing F4.
Successfully tested a recruiting board plugin by Irina. A major mechanic for my game is now secure.
I performed a test of changing an event's sprite based on who is in slot X of the party. Conditional branches have made it successful. This helps for cutscenes that bring out the whole party correctly onto scene even when members are changeable.
The "Mother 4 fan game" trailer is out, and it's been rebranded to Oddity. The look for the battle interface gives me chills and giggles. I really want to play it.
I used a video editor to edit an audio file because my audio editor sucks. The new victory ME that I made from a BGM track is rockin' though.
I just successfully conducted a cutscene test in which several events move and speak sequentially. I can do cutscenes now!
Combining the effects of plugins from four different plugin authors in a single sequence is going to be the scariest part of my battle skill testing.
Planning out my second game a bit with my first game because they will be in the same world. My development time might be much shorter for the second game as a result. I'm hoping to finish them both next year.
RPG MAKER FORUMS: THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Fortunately, the influence of the Mask on the forums' color is just a placeholder. Meanwhile, I've further refined the selfy mechanic for my game to include posing. Woot.
I hate it when unfinished games are sold on commercial platforms. My game will have a complete story and full array of mechanics on launch.
Next month I'll probably have enough tested, written, and organized that I'll feel ready to build my game. Feels like calm before the storm.
One of the benefits of learning how to edit images is that bust/sprite art can be broken apart and recombined in many different ways.
I just tested pausing the screen with an item (then cancel) to facilitate screenshots where there are moving parts/NPCs. A small bit of fun.

1st of March 2014 I joined and it has been a great experience for 6 whole years. The only thing I can say is a huge thank you to ALL members of this forum.
Just finished making a character selector at the beginning of the game that allows the player to pick gender and skin tone. I couldn't be more pleased.
