    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    As I said above, I have already deferred to the mods on the matter. I'm not trying to silence anyone or anything like that, it's just that Planned Parenthood is an organization that people get deeply political about which is why I filed the report on the matter for advisement. Also, as I added...

    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    @pawsplay, I think that's a subject that can get deeply political which is something that we try to avoid here. While still relevant, I don't think it's something that should be brought up in relation to the forum rules (although the mods or anyone else can correct me otherwise as I have filed a...

    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    Quick update on the Unity situation. They're moving the new fee structure to the next LTS and making all kinds of other changes as well. https://blog.unity.com/news/open-letter-on-runtime-fee

    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    What I mean is that this has strayed too far from the original intentions which is something that we try to avoid, in other words there's a general thing about derailing a conversation that my request to end things and move on was based around (since it's more acceptable to start a separate...

    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    Which in a situation like this basically means they have to do something themselves, which in this case was to royally f*** over their own user base with tactics more commonly associated with scam artists. I told my family that being risk-averse meant that I couldn't work with Unity under these...

    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    Okay, so maybe that's more like conjecture. But I also don't see any other way that they would be able to enforce this kind of billing practice, unless of course the code is already in there for them to do so as @TheAM-Dol suggests may be the case.

    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    Yeah, not to mention the privacy and ethical issues with adding what is essentially malware to an otherwise legitimate product to enforce such a r*****ed (or should I say ridiculous) line of business, potentially even violating developer agreements with Apple, Nintendo etc. to degrees far worse...

    So, uh, what's this RPG Maker Unite thing?

    I was literally just about to bring that up. I can see this **** being rolled back (or at least the Unity Tax part) unless 1: Steam, Itch etc. raise or require a sales cut to cover this added cost, or 2: Unity pulls an Epic and opens up its own game store to compensate for a runtimes ban. Either...

    2023 Goals and Progress Thread

    Well, I guess this thing's not dead yet - I decided that I'm going to focus on game jam projects for a while instead of completely giving up on game development. Also, in a rather morbid twist of fate I managed to end up with an orphaned data store on my notebook system that I may salvage...

    2023 Goals and Progress Thread

    Sad news to report. It is with a heavy heart that I am sunsetting the development of Advent Heroes and ceasing the operations of Zero Break Game Design, effective immediately. As a consequence of this, all materials related to the game have been destroyed and are no longer available for me to...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    Even so, there was no other way out of this matter. And seeing that this conversation is starting to devolve into a useless debate on what constitutes a realistic expectation, legal requirement or whatever the hell we're talking about at this point, I'm going to shut down this subject and...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    About that, @Ms Littlefish. it turned out that the domain name was due to expire within a matter of hours after I was shut down for lack of any further payments, so as a matter of practice everything related to the website and its business associations that I wasn't moving (or able to move) into...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    Very true, but at the same time the game is technically canceled, and it is standard practice to destroy unreleased products to prevent leakage of confidential materials. So if you look at it that way, it still applies. That being said, the idea that I had is still mine and I can revisit it (or...

    Ready to Rumble: A Plugin for Controller Vibration

    A quick note regarding the legal status of the plugin. Owing to the fact that I am ceasing business operations, I do not feel that it is appropriate to continue to charge for the plugin going forward. Therefore, I am remitting the plugin to the RPG Maker community as a final show of the support...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    It's a matter of the fact that this has gone on for over three years and they would've expected something by now. I mean, they kind of have a point (nobody wants to see a project get stuck in development hell) but I still think they short sold themselves regardless. Nonetheless, because of...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    Seeing that I was targeting Xbox in addition to Steam, and both have developer agreements that are subject to NDA, I legally didn't have much of a choice. Also, the game itself was planned to be tested under NDA and so I would literally be breaking my own contract if I kept all of the files that...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    Thanks for the kind words. I also have a controller rumble plugin that's still listed for sale under the shuttered branding that I'm not going to retire since it does serve a useful purpose, but I will be phasing out all mention of my label so I will of course be moving that off of itch in the...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    Either way, everything other than the demo was labeled as being under NDA so technically it had to be done. It's basically all gone into the ether, and there's no getting it back. I did save one memento, however. I have a boss that I made that's in the style of the yellow devil which I decided...

    One month to prove myself before my development work is shut down by my family, how should I approach this?

    Unfortunately it's associated with all the stuff that I just closed and since I cancelled it completely and the game is labeled as being under NDA then basically I can't keep it even for myself.

My One Map Challenge is nearing completion. I am in the multiple run testing phase atm. This is the map. Beware the minotaurs in the maze area. The female ones are more aggressive. Can you prove to the land of Winchell that a dragon and a human can love each other?
I am looking for some way to insert a video into the titlescreen
before the player presses Start Game.

I have not found a thread about it. It might be different for VX Ace compared to MV.

But from what I have seen I would change the ruby 1.9 code.
Has Shaz or someone else done this before?

Ideal end goal:
Application starts -> Video (once) -> Main Menu -> 3 min wait -> Video -> Main Menu -> 3 min wait -> ...
I will probably need this again:

So I put it here. Feels easy to access now.
