    It's weird to play Nexomon and hear so many sound effects from RPG Maker. What are these sounds, freeware?

    I don't mind grinding too much nor that the world levels with you. I hear that it is quite humurous which I also look forward to.
    A nice story is always something that can win me over. The one thing I fear most, is that the gameplay might be too boring - or rather - a 1:1 copy from pokemon with no new mechanics.

    Um... I don't know. Combat feels sort of dull, though it does "last longer" in most cases. Level ups grant far less power than they do in Pokemon (each level, so far, has only granted me 1 Attack and 1 Defense for basically all my mons). It does seem to rely heavily on "super effective" as well as "critical hits". States are slightly more powerful, but more difficult to inflict too.

    On the up-side, however, the "catch mechanics" are a lot better and more well-thought out. There are items which give you "passive buffs" to capturing specific elements of mons, you can feed mons (with each mon having 3 food they like and all others they hate), and specific type capturing devices to increase odds. Not just "weaken and throw" now. Lots of factors involved.

    I sometimes wonder how many people have thought "I won the argument!" when I walk away and feel pretty good about themselves.

I hear all of you are clear if someone get emotional during so call debate, we should stop and ask Are you still leaning? If that person doesn't leaning anything, it is clear time to go the bed or get your followers to help you attack that person's credibility or moral character.

    Wow, lots of RPG Maker MV stuff on sale on Steam for 50%-75% off. Steam, why you not tell me?!
    kako05
    STEAM RPG maker mv is bugged. It'll ruin your project database and make your project unusable resulting in project crashing a lot, database loading 5x-10x longer. My guess its something to do with how steam saves data. It's possible to recreate by following a few steps, copy a project and open it. Both copy and original are busted. Not a problem with Degica version. Avoid steam release.

    Thoughts on Random Encounters

    It is several dozen posts I've made on the subject. Many of the core tenants haven't changed over the years, but I've refined some of them. It might be worth looking at each individual post I've made in the topics as well as reading Wavelengths replies to me to see how the discussions went.

    I am looking forward to the day that all "loot boxes" are classified as "gambling" and developers can no longer put them in their games if they want to make money.

    We should make sure to consider trading cards, gacha capsules, and of course randomized assortments of flavors in candy packages to be gambling as well!

    Because we all know that just like the loot you get from loot boxes, some of it is valuable (red flavor, green flavor) and some of it isn't (purple flavor).
    Tai_MT

    That honestly wouldn't bother me at all. The UK itself is taking steps to get Loot Boxes labeled and regulated as "gambling" now though. Which is FANTASTIC. The only reason Loot Boxes ever existed to begin with is because some people discovered that they found a way to legalize gambling for children.

    I dont think gambling is the right word for it when it comes to ingame loot boxes, but I still agree that its problematic.

    @Kupotepo It's used fairly frequently in the video game industry as well, which is where I see it most often. "X game is great because look at how many sales it has!". "X game is great because look at how many positive reviews it has!". If you are appealing to popularity as an argument, you've already lost.

    @Tai_MT, that is true in the marketing. I see the new AAA games released. I see people like it and buy it, despite how much I do not like that genre. That is true the game industries are to show positive aspects of their games.

    I basically automated construction of Logistic and Construction Robots and then assigned them a complete overhaul of my entire factory as well as set up new supply lines... and then just had to wait for several rocket launches. Came back to 3 supply lines run dry... and about 5000 of each bot roaming around. :D Good times.

    A lot of the game is tearing your factory down over and over again and reworking it as you get improved tech and supply lines change. You also eventually gain enough basic knowledge that it's easy to figure out why things aren't moving or why they are full, and you know how to fix those issues. I look at it as beneficial when all my belts are 100% full at all times.

    That's not even getting into the nonsensical control scheme, and hundreds of nested menus, as well as the constant "hold a button down to do anything" gameplay and the entire game feels like controlling PS1 era Survival Horror characters. Who designs a game where you need to hold A to move faster than "snail's crawl" and you have to rapidly and repeatedly tap it to run?

    So this is literally your first ever rockstar game I take it? Welcome to the party, people have been asking those questions for decades, but the tap a/x to sprint button, that never changes. Rockstar is probably responsible for more broken controllers than any other company. What is sad is that RDR2 legitimately has the second most responsive, tight control scheme their roster has to offer.
    Tai_MT
    Tai_MT
    Actually, I played GTA4 and GTA5, which had pretty tight controls. At least, for the most part. But, those games got you like immediately into the action and were less "hand holdy". At least I could walk and turn and move relatively quickly. RDR2 really does feel like controlling Jill from Resident Evil 1 on Playstation 1. Like I'm using old tank controls and the responsiveness is near non-existent.

    Some games harshly punish players for spamming attack. In Persona 5 you get the occasional enemy that reflects all physical damage, which will cause your party to wipe itself out. Funny thing is I did find an attack in that game that is safe to spam all I want lol.

    @Kupotepo Whenever someone starts a sentence with 'But still" during an argument they are basically saying 'I know your point is valid and I can not counter it in any way however I am going to disregard it anyway cause it doesn;t match with my feelings about it'

    It is so sad to people debate for a feeling of being right instead of understanding the different aspects or viewpoints on the same topic. Ancient Greece philosophers would laugh or cry that some people in modern times understand the word "persuasion" as being force or shame to accept the idea that a person does not see the logic.

I have officially released JABS 2.00.

Do people think there would be value in releasing the non-JABS plugins as separate posts/threads here on this forum?

Additionally, I just would like to drum up excitement/anticipation/hype that I plan on spinning up the following:
- A custom crafting system that grants is modeled after the star ocean franchise.
- A custom menu system to go along with JABS on-the-map.

If a developer focuses too much on describing the game mechanics in the official trailer for their RPG, I'm going to wonder whether their writing is so bad that it doesn't deserve center stage for their game. This seems to be a pitfall for the marketing on a lot of games.

Only 2 projects ongoing, but not quite started yet: World of Persona (you know how it would go by the name) and GAN.
First one would be kinda of a Persona game, (but international not only Japanese!!!), and the other one is just for Spain (at first) (because it needs to be done for each country after all, it's an all-branches educational game)
As far as i can finish World of Persona, it means GAN is viable.
