    Need Help With Puzzle Design Ideas

    (I hope I am placing this in the correct forum. If not, I am sorry and please feel free to correct me!) Hi everybody! I'm new to this site and RMMV, but not programming. I am AWFUL coming up with ideas for puzzles and I was hoping if people here could weigh in on some general ideas. It might...

    Transferring Skillset from VNs to RPGs

    Greetings! I am a visual novel developer. I've done a good number of different tasks to help others create their VNs. When it comes to creating visual novels, I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, master of none. I specialize in Linguistics, Programming, and Design. I usually...

    Job System Theory, Design, and Mechanics

    Job systems  - wherein the characters have the ability to assume a number of different class roles throughout the game, and frequently can learn abilities that they can use while in other classes.  Final Fantasy provides some of the quintessential examples, but similar systems appear in many...

    To thief or not to thief, that is the question...

    Pretty much the title. I have honestly yet to find a game that includes a thief/steal skill that doesn't result in one of 3 things: 1) Bosses have either a pool of stealables, of which only one can be stolen and the other just ends up not existing, or they are very stingy with letting you...

    How do you start development?

    Once you have your idea, how do you start making the actual game? I've written my story, more or less, I've got a general idea of the mechanics, and I've spent some time amassing and assembling plugins to get the systems into the general shape of what I want, but now that I'm staring at the...

    Skill Tree Theory and Design: Size, Leveled Skills, Balance, etc.

    Skill / talent trees are a way of granting the player choice in developing their character, particularly within the confines of a fixed class.  Yet balancing them is rather difficult.   How many skills does a good skill tree have?  Should skills be purchased with skill points from level ups...

Things like item shop for...

    What should a demo encompass?

    What should be in a demo? I'm about to finish the first major point in my game, and I want to have my demo up by the end of the day, but I don't know what I should have in it. For instance, my game features class changing and sub-classes, but I'm rather certain that won't be able to be in the...

    Real time "in the field" building mechanic for MV

    Good Morning everyone, I am working on a project, and I would love to implement a "real time, in the field building mechanic" into the game. For instance, the player can acquire a bunch of fence panels, lets say, and be able to place them on the map, and have them act as a barrier you...

    Level Design in RPG Maker VX Ace

    (You can find the original post at classrules.ca!) Building Levels in RPG Maker VX Ace Now that some of the basic parameters of levels design have been addressed in the last post, I think it's a good time to get into some of the juicy details of exactly how a level transitions from the...

  12. Overworld Gunplay in SciFi RPG

    Hey there folks, I am currently developing a SciFi Rpg in MV and has been having trouble with one of the concepts that I wish to implement to the game. If anyone has ever played Lufia the Legend Returns then they know about the dungeon mechanic of swiping your sword or more importantly using...

    Video Game Parody (Law/Design)

    Hello, Some of you may know... I've been hard at work on a Resident Evil RPG parody style game. I'm about 3 weeks in development (which I know isn't much) ^^; I will be using many assists from from the original games.... It's sad how often we see smart and good projects drop do to cease...

  14. Characters with Limited MP while other characters have full

    I'm working on a RPG Maker VX Ace game in which the main character is a rather unique mage (will not fully in-depth, the general idea is that they aren't capable of using magic themselves but can trick magic items, which require a mage to activate, into thinking they are). One of the main ideas...

    Steal This Idea (2016)

    I have some ideas that I don't think I will actually use so I'll see if anyone might. If you guys want to continue this thread by posting your own that could be fun. Here's my first: A game that is not just in a steampunk theme, but that really lets you dig into tinkering. The main character...

    Realistic Multiple Elevation Map Design

    Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place but I saw threads that have to do with mapping here so... I have 2 main questions (red). I've been looking a lot online trying to learn how to properly handle multiple elevation levels and such - and I don't mean just with bridges. I'd like to...

    What interesting skills have you used or seen?

    Hello all! I have recently started with RPG maker and the possibilities, whilst daunting, seem pretty limitless! I cannot art or compose but I have a reasonable grounding with stats and programming so I think the best place to start is with the skills. Having read around there seem some good...

    Character Costume Design

    How much thought do we really put in to the costume design of our characters? How much "real-world" logic are we going to allow into our game(s)? What are your personal methods? Do you give that one chick gravity-defying hair, knowing fully well that hair doesn't work that way IRL? Or do you...

    Maker Extension Suite "MakerES"

    Hey guys, the actual MV has the most basic features already on board. If you want to extend it´s features, you´d either have to noodle around in the Plugin-Manager (which I don´t think looks pretty nice) or write custom JS. It´s totally okay to work with the Plugin-Manager for several single...

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.
