I'm going to need income sooner than later this year so I've added a smaller game project to my planned queue as a first of two prequels to my dream big world RPG.
-
I live in the next potential global epicenter of COVID-19 outbreaks. If they don't apply temporary universal income and rent freezes soon, it's going to get super ugly.
I've found myself easily bored with low variety equipment selections in small indie RPGs that I've played. I think that the more variety there is, the better. Extra points for items that come with special stories or require fun quests to obtain.
Did some device testing today. My Veikk drawing tablet works with my painting program. This could go a long way towards customizing or adjusting art for my game.
People staying home more because of pandemic fears so soon to FF7 remake's release. Imagine how empty the streets will be after. Yuk yuk.
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!

I don't like linear gear progression in games. I'd like to see more gear be useful from start to finish. This is also true for skills. I also like finding overpowered gear, and don't enjoy games that are too balanced.
The more I look at the QPlugins... The more I am amazed at what they can do. Which I'm not going to lie is pretty awkward, because I already consider them far and away the best plugins MV has to offer.
