I used to enjoy using RPG Maker.... It feels more stressful than enjoyable of late. Time for a long break....
The trick is to treat it like a fun hobby to do when you feel like it, and not a job. Unless it's your job then *cracks a whip* back to work! xD
I miss Windows 7! Each update of Windows 10 seems to crash my PC (which is almost new). May be time to downgrade and see how that goes!
Poryg here is about to demonstrate that the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and missing. Isn't that so nice? *picks up poryg and throws him*
I need a sprite maker that will work for free or cheap! Please inbox me for details why/how/etc. Thanks...
The only cheap sprite makers are those who learn simply because they are too cheap to hire actual artists to do it. That and the occasional free workshop meant to build up a portfolio, but you'll only get 1-2 sprites tops out of those when they pop up. The internet is awesome though, even a moron (like me) can figure out how to do things.
Sorry guys, I meant this more as a joke than anything else. I am WELL aware that this is NOT the proper way to recruit people for work, and that I would not find anyone anyway. I'm sorry for the confusion, I should have been clear that this was more of a joke. I do apologize for not being more transparent in my posts. I will try to be more so in the future. Thanks again and sorry for the confusion!
Unfortunately we get loads of people who do worse than this and aren't joking, so there was no way to tell.
Wondering if I should have a "World Map" like traditional games or make my game just a series of "areas" that connect together? Hard decision!
I think there was a post under general discussion about this a while ago, maybe look it up to see what was said on it?
I have a "trash project". Actually, I have a file with about 5 of them, but one that really was quite a bit of work. I still open it once in a Blue Moon... ...it's kind of creepy to visit a world that "didn't make it" LOL.
thank you for the recolors i'm new to rpg makerMV and the fact that there was only one specified monster color but you can change the hues in battle was driving me mad.
My VX Ace game is finished! Just test playing it to get all the bugs out. Doing it myself because one test player had a baby, the other has pneumonia. I may have to ask for help. Also, LOVING the new MV update. The "Dark Theme" is the best thing ever! (Happy Dance!)
My game is SO close to being done! Just a few ending scenes to finish!! To anyone else, it may be crap, but you know what? It's MY crap and I am proud of it! LOL. Almost a year of work near completion! What am I gonna do now.....
Well, the standard ones are: [*]"Bring me X from Y!" (Fetch quests) "Help, I lost X." [*]"I need X to make Y" [*]"Bring me X and I'll trade you Y." [*]"Help get me to X." (Escort quests) "The roads to X are dangerous, I need a guard." [*]"I'm lost, I need help getting back home to X." [*]"Kill X amount of Y" (Kill quests) "X are breeding too fast, go kill Y of them." [*]"Help, this area is dangerous. Make it less dangerous by killing X amount of Y."
Honestly, @mjshi, I have done ALL of those. LOL. But great suggestions! If you think of anything else, please let me know. I am open to most anything. I have a slight flu so I am sluggish. LOL. But thanks.
Just made out like a bandit on the RPGMaker Web store. LOL. Can't WAIT to try out Luna Engine (yeah, I'm a bit behind the times) and the Retro Halloween tiles are SO under priced that even without the sale going on, they are more than worth it! Bought other stuff too, and it's great, but those are my current favs.
I am about to give up. While the RPG Maker programs are wonderful, I really don't think they are built for the kind of games I have in mind. I just feel so discouraged right now..!
@KillerGin of course I'm just salty since I have a lot of stuff I need to port over MV and a lot of stuff that still isn't there and is making me headdesk. But I'm glad you're enjoying RM don't get me wrong, haha.
@Archeia Oh yeah! You know yanfly? cool... in person? Anyways I was going to join patreon so that I can support Yanfly and Aekashics since I do use a lot of their scripts/work. Hmmm..... now that I think about it... let me check..... lol I checked to see if I was using one of your scripts because your name looks very familiar.
So after hours and hours of trying to figure out why my game was only getting 5-7 fps, I figured out that I had a map missing. Where it went, how it got there and why, I can only guess. But after making a new map I am back up to normal fps. Literally took me 2 days to figure out. So now I am gonna have a beer and take a long nap!
not really no, was something like: $gameSystem._hud_minimap_mapName !== 'false' then I did a "gambiarra" and fixed it haha
@Hudell It did. I'm not sure how it worked but once I replaced the map everything was fine. It was a sub map of the "world map" and every time I went to the world map it kept trying to update the event that went to the lost map, but the map was of course gone. IDK.
Forgot to mention, it was RPG Maker VX Ace. I'm not sure if that makes any difference but there ya go. LOL.
My goal for the New Year: to complete a project in every RPG Maker engine I own. A daunting task, I know, but one I look forward to tackling!
One of these nights I will get more than 2 hours of sleep. I wish it would be tonight... But that's not likely!
