Merry Ghostmas!! Tai_MT.

That's how I've felt the last few weeks. Many a night I've just vegged to a baseball game while I fall asleep on the couch.

Sounds like a loose definition of 'literally' to me ;p When you have that kind of spiritual depletion at work, make good use of your few hours away from it, whether it's something traditionally fulfilling, or just really fun.

Well, I guess they don't call me a conversation killer for nothing

Is DQXI unbalanced because it has a respec?

If it's a singleplayer RPG, then yes. I thought I made that clear like 4 times by now. If a dev includes Respec in a singleplayer RPG it's because they are attempting to balance the game, but they know they did a terrible job of it... so they expect the player to do the job of balancing for them with a Respec.

I know exactly how this is. If all you have energy for is clearing the floors and surfaces, go for it. People live in spaces, and that shows. I'm sure inspection people expect a lived in place. Do your best and get some sleep! Good luck!

Save your time and slip the Inspector a $20 bill... I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Hope your night of labor & chores goes relatively easily, Tai. Good luck.

Well, aside from having mopping, vacuuming, and dishes left to do, I think it went alright. Though, I'm pretty sure the inspectors will disagree. I want to stay home now, I'm so freakin' tired, ha ha.

Never heard of it. But, I love it for all video games. Even 3D rendered games.

this plugin makes it so that when you press print screen and game, instead of actually taking a screenshot of your monitor, and actually screenshots the entire map that you're on in game. XD

That's pretty cool. I need that for every game I own.

Sounds like you're doing your duty. It might not win you any friends, but you're not paid to be mates with everyone.

They made me Supervisor after years of being "Team Leader" and getting results, ha ha. Created the job just for me, because I was already doing it. But, it is frustrating to have to remind people, "Uh... we have a job to do. You're holding up MY JOB because you won't do YOUR JOB. Gab and goof off later!"

I make a good Supervisor primarily because I read people well and don't take nonsense from people. I bend plenty, but there are points when I stop bending and playtime is over, and you need to do your job, or I will ream you in front of God and Everybody to do it, not caring how it makes me look. And it will usually make you look stupid if I have to do it.

Yeah, you sort of manage everything in the game, you don't really get to be "idle" that much. You have to reach certain reputation levels, certain levels of "total money earned", then you have to collect resources, discover recipes, do Requests for people (recipes and requests come in the form of riddles you must solve).

Then, on top of that, there are thresholds of items you need to sell for stat upgrades. Like say you sell 30 "Potion", you can hit the threshold and gain a "Soldier's HP +5" upgrade. It encourages you to craft and sell everything, including raw materials, to make the job easier and more efficient.

When the soldiers hit enemies in combat, the enemies drop resources in random places on the battlefield and you have to run around during combat to pick the items up. And if you get hit during combat, you get "knocked out" and have to be taken home. Enemies drop regular and rare resources... there are bosses with big loot chests at the end... No time to be idle as you even have to pick up the money in your shop.

Ha-Ha! Spending eternity listening to a baby screaming on a plane. xD I really like the world\setting they've created.

Later on, they admit that there was a created place called "The Middle", where exactly 1 person in the universe resides because she managed a net total of 0. She did terrible things and one really great thing at the end of her life to balance it out. She lives in a place of endless mediocrity. It's filled with her favorite beer... but it's always warm. Things like that.

Eternal mediocrity. Ha-Ha! Your favourite show is on the tele, but it's a rerun. And only she exists in that place? So, mediocre and boring.

Wai...wut

You watched the movie? Did you see the 5 episodes before it? The movie is the conclusion.

Nope, all Xbox had was the movie.

I use 2-tile high for an average height room, but more for taller rooms. I try to make my buildings the same size on the outside as they are inside. I also look at buildings in reality. The average house isn't very big at all when you think about it. I guess it's easier for modern games, because a lot of modern buildings are fairly boxy and practical in design.

It just looks really weird to have rows of houses all the same dimensions... Especially if they're not in like a modern city setting. The roof tiles even look strange slapped against them. I dunno… only part of the RMMV RTP I hate. Outside Buildings and Boxy Auto-tiles.

You just gotta git gud. It is the "Dark Souls," of mapping.

That's not that much of an extra work tho, copy, paste, and then you duplicate each frame. Unless you have 300 frames long animations, that's not too bad, is it?
In my engine I solved all animated thingies via PIXI.extras.AnimatedSprite anyway, because it allowed me much more customization.

However, you need to do extra work before you can do that as well Due to the fact that there are certain things in default MV code that block PIXI.extras.AnimatedSprite.
The only thing I regret is that I didn't backup my engine, so I'll have to create a new one once again... And I'm so lazy to do so

I managed to make an individual anim fps in Ace, should be doable in MV to. Go make a request?

Uh, 'women are more dangerous' *ftfy

A woman in love might be more dangerous to a specific person or two, but men are the ones who will start a war for love of a woman if put in the right circumstances. Love does indeed make donkies of a lot of us.

@Philosophus Vagus : I wonder if someone has made an RPG on that idea. Two nations, but one goes to war due to lust for a woman in the other nation.

it very much does
My game project is currently taking the shape of a hexagon

I hope the Hexagon has powerful sides!

ehh, there is actually a total of 98 hexagons atm, they cant *all* have powerful sides now can they?
