  1. RMMV How to make the highlighted room dark and make it visible only when the player enters it?

    Hi! I want to make these two rooms connected so the player can see both at once, but the one on the left I wanted to make it dark, like the lights are off, and it would turn on only when the player steps into it. Are there any ways to do that?

    OPINIONS NEEDED! I spent some time today doing javascript-y, plugins-y stuff and now have it so that enemies that logically should breathe now breathe. Their rate of breathing is parameterised to show how much health they have remaining. Is this good design or does it betray the whole "You...

    Less Is More: Both Big Numbers and Gods are Evil

    Hi all, Obviously, that sort of blanket statement is never going to be 100% true. This bit of writing is an attempt to spread a bit of a design philosophy I've taken to over the years. By no means am I someone who created these ideas, just wanting to spread them. Big Numbers: Evil I want to...
