Storyteller-Hero

It's a lot of tedious effort but I feel that it'll work out in the final product. (Level 1 minotaur is just a place holder for testing heheh)

Which games?

IV for example had the namingway village on the moon. VI had a bunch of optional dungeons in the second act. VII had the city of Wutai.

Now I can smoothly transition between world map x skill grid, and interior map x skill grid while maintaining the change from normal walking sprite to mini-worldmap sprite and vice versa.

One of us. One of us.

my first drawing tablet was a cheapo $50 monoprice tablet, and it lasted me quite a while. hopefully you get the same luck!

This is also my first tablet. $42.56 after tax for the one I've ordered. When I first started shopping around, I felt disheartened by the prices I was seeing, then I saw one that had a ton of reviews and while not as fancy as some other brands, seemed good enough for what I need. I'll find out later this week I guess.

The smaller sprite kind of makes the tiles on the world map feel bigger. I think that I might keep this scale for my game.

Chrono Trigger had incredible art. Thats what I remember.
And also crazy stair effects that is probably not possible in rpg maker.

I never lose... because I do cyber Mondays instead hehehe

If they were Klingons, they wouldn't fight in a burning house- which is exactly what these shoppers do, haha.

Laser tag with Klingons actually sounds fun, though (unless they are using actual phasers, set to 'Kill'). I'd go to that, unlike Black Friday.

P.S. - @The Stranger totally won this topic.

My game is going to have the option of hiring party members, so the more options the better, even if it's just recolors of the same class.

@Storyteller-Hero, it is really popular mechanic to mobile game to have hiring option of new members.

So a selfie? Sounds like you need to find a plugin, or code one if you can.

I was thinking of just triggering a temporary actor graphic change with a conditional branch. Like, press [shift] to pose, and press again to return to normal.

...worthwhile.

Yeah... I was expecting that too. Let's hope to have another one next year! ^^

Well some people have been talking about holding a contest on discord, but it would not afflliated with the company so we can't post it here.

As it is, someone did hold a make an RPG in 24 hours contest last weekend. Default assets only, no scripts or plug-ins allowed.

Or you can go to itch.io and just join a jam. Who says it has to be IGMC? I've seen the everything but the game jam for instance!

Not really. Transforming a vehicle's appearance is all it's good for. It doesn't let you change the behavior of a particular vehicle. If you want more vehicles & more customization, you're going to need a vehicle plugin for that.

It actually is if you use events to move things around, at least if replacing a vehicle with a new one during the game. If it's possible to leave behind the idle graphic when activating a "new" vehicle, it might be possible to event multiple vehicles that actually use the same vehicle, just not the same graphic.

You sound like a true gamedev: too many ideas.

Just 3?

Pacing myself since I'm used to writing large projects for work.

As such, I'm thankful for RPG Maker MV making this route more accessible by being the first RPG Maker that can be used on a Mac.

Before I got back to RPG Maker I drew and wrote comics. It helped me structure a story, write characters and most importantly helped me keep my drawing skills sharp.

Yeah, knowing how to structure a scene and write a story can be very useful when developing games nowadays. You can do so much more games, though. I also think more abstract storytelling works really well in games.

On the plugin setting that is.

That said, music change test for changing Battle BGM in special encounters has been successfully run, and Battle BGM has been chosen for my first game. More items checked off my test project bucket list and a step closer to my official debut as a videogame director/writer.
