Late-Game Boss Design - Some Food for Thought
I don't entirely agree, because when it comes to late-game bosses, you've had the whole game to shape the player's expectations of how your game works and how it differs from the "average" RPG Maker game (if there is such a thing). One game I have completed, and which has hard and extremely...- Aoi Ninami

Cliches you like and don't like?
Not entirely sure what you mean by "undefined" here or why it should be unrealistic. A character, even the main, can have parents who simply don't appear in the story. If the character is an adult and the story focuses on their work, especially if their work involves travel, it can be totally...- Aoi Ninami

Cliches you like and don't like?
Obligatory link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/TropesAreTools Getting back to the actual question: I actually like the idea of the protagonist with amnesia, if it's done well -- if they have appropriate emotional responses to the situation and feel believable, so that...- Aoi Ninami

Game & Map Screenshots 12
My problem with the map is that it doesn't feel like a town. You have a tall wall around it, which must have been expensive to build and maintain, and guards stationed at the entrance... and there are a total of eight buildings. It might feel more plausible if the space between the buildings is...- Aoi Ninami

I see quite a lot of points for improvement, but don't be discouraged, most of these are pretty quick fixes and you will soon get used to them! * Most importantly, your cliff height is inconsistent. Exiting the bottom house, if I go round by the path to the top house, I have to climb up 3...- Aoi Ninami

How do I use a damage formula for damage on the overworld?
I suspect that what you originally wrote for your formula is not what you intended. "2 - AGI + 1" would output 2 at AGI 1, 1 at AGI 2, 0 or negative if AGI is 3 or above. Even if you correct it by imposing a minimum of 1, the output can only ever be 1 or 2. Maybe write a short list in the...- Aoi Ninami

Useful Pacing Dialogue?
Game dialogue should be faster than dialogue in most other media, because it forces the player away from absorption in the gameplay. That's not to say you can't have dialogue that enhances the characterisation and worldbuilding, but it should as far as possible be combined with moving the story...- Aoi Ninami

If you respect the art of game development in any way, please, do not use AI Art.
I know this is a sideline from the main topic, but I couldn't let nonsense like this pass unchallenged. The plot of Romeo and Juliet is taken from a narrative poem by Arthur Brooke, which in turn borrows from earlier Italian sources; that much is true. But the writing of the play, the dialogue...- Aoi Ninami

Yes, mythology is public domain. Why are you asking this again when you already asked and got an answer?- Aoi Ninami

Is it allowed to use an altered name of something popular? (Ex. using "WhoCube" as reference to "YouTube")
Names and titles cannot be copyrighted; they are too short to count as creative works. So, not only is there no problem with making up "50 Maids of Trey", there would also be no problem if you wanted to mention the actual novel 50 Shades of Grey within a creative work. (At least, there would be...- Aoi Ninami

Just how "big" are games? (Still can't get my head around the map issue)
So here's the thing. There are no correct ways. You can choose whatever is best for your project and your game and story ideas. If you want your game to include both a desert and a cold mountain, there are many ways you can do it: * Instantaneous travel through portals, either between distant...- Aoi Ninami

Avy's MZ Stuff
The night-time title screen from Day 8, as already mentioned. And now the elemental orbs are in too!
