    Tell me about your armor design.

    We always talk about skills or weapons as obviously they are fantastic for being flashy and look cool, but as a tank lover, I'm more thrilled to find a new armor than a weapon. Not only does armor tell about the wearer, it also protects and keeps you warm at night. I've had my armor sketched...

    L8rose's Workshop [Sketches]

    Apologies ahead of time if this doesn't quite fit the Workshop idea. Alright, as some folks have probably noticed, I like to sketch. A lot. Sketching is in fact my destresser of choice. The thing is that I sketch so much that I sometimes run out of ideas on what to sketch. So this workshop is...

    Recently I've been disigning the first few areas of my RPG on photoshop and I need to add some light sources to one of my areas specifically an apartment. I can't find anywhere to place my windows except on the side walls but I'm not sure how to do this on photoshop. I've marked with red arrows...

    Whole map versus Room-by-room? [Design Conundrums]

    My current project is to recreate an homage version of a very old ASCII rogue-like as a mobile game. The maps from this game consists of walls, doors, secret doors, and openings. The maps also featured one-time fog of war (once explored, always revealed). In rooms, one could find things like...

    Is This Shield State Concept Possible?

    State-affecting plugins I'm using: Yanfly's Buffs & States Core, HIME's State Change Animations, & Sumrndmdde's State Popups. There's a state I'd like to apply to a battler that would nullify/block the damage from a certain among of attacks. For example, you apply this defensive state, we'll...

    Letting the player control the pace of the narrative...

    Hi all, While I was working on the script for my upcoming game (unapologetic plug; link in my signature), I came across an interesting problem which I think would make for good discussion: Is there any way to let the player move the narrative forward on their own terms while also making sure...

    Raven's Aviary of Art

    Heya, guys! Raven here! I do a fair bit of Pixel Art and I've made this topic to share my work with y'all~ I typically work with minimal colors. I started with black and white and I've since started dabbling with mixing in more colors, but I rarely dabble with more than two colors. It is an...

    Designing a combat system: Where do you start?

    I have a general idea of what my combat system would be, but everytime I try to write it down I get stuck: I don't know where to start. Is there a particular approach to building a combat system, are there any tools that could help me?

    Weapons as "Incomparables".

    So, I have been working on my game for about a month now, and one of the ideas I had in mind since the beginning was to provide better character customization and realism at the same time. The way I have decided to do this was through "weapons as incomparables". What I mean by this, is that...

    FREE Need dungeon puzzle designers

    I'm working on a puzzle game called Alex In Puzzleland. The game will feature 9 levels filled with various puzzles. I think the best way to describe the game is "Zelda without the fighting". And while I'm sure I can event all the puzzles myself, my problem is simply designing the puzzles, and...

    Hex to Squares! (and vice-versa!)

    Hello there, guys (and gals). I really want to adapt some old hex maps to my game, since I find them more organic than squares for an overworld. Example: I'm no artist (or mathematician) to know the best way to adapt this to squares. I know I could just shift one row to square-fy it, but I...

    How important is a title screen... really?

    So, I'll start by saying that user interface graphics are one of my strongest skills. I have the ability to make a mind-blowing animated title. But after some consideration, I've been thinking about removing the title screen all together - a simple a "Press X to continue/start" on a black screen...

    Non-Relaible Magic.

    Okay. Gonna try to keep this broad but my example is very precise but my question isn't about my example exactly,  but how a gamer would react to the core idea. Which is a magic system that is not 100% fixed or reliable. In this case. My MC is a water magician and she pulls water  in to cast...

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
