  2. Maps: What size do you prefer?

    I've been messing around with maps in the editor making different maps of all sizes wondered whether larger maps or smaller ones were better. So, I'm asking which do you prefer: Large Maps: A open space that would, for example, consist of an entire city or forest and contain transitions only...

    What are you looking for in a game?

    I seem to be reading a lot of threads lately about things games should or should not have (poor mechanics, good combat, best battles, red flags, beliefs), with many different opinions and tastes in the discussions. So I thought I'd try to distill those concepts into a simple poll. Since the...
  4. Partial Mouse Support

    So in the game I am currently working on, I was wanting to enable the mouse during certain events (title screen, examining things, certain interactions, etc) but not during the majority of gameplay. Has this been done before? I've searched for scripts that are approved for commercial use but the...

    On the Topic of Waifus

    This is probably the most serious issue on my mind. (What am I doing with my life...) A lot of games now allow for deeper character bonding, Rpgs especially. What I mean by this is, that it is not uncommon for a game to allow you to get to know your allies better, become close friends, or even...

    Poor Mechanics in RPGs

    Okay, so like many I've been playing IGMC games about 26 at the time of this post (although not all rpgs as this post is concerned about) and since many have just picked up rpg makers in the recent humble bundle offerings before the contest I thought it would be good to discuss what are poor...

    The depth of protagonists VS antagonists

    So lately I've been thinking a lot, and breaking down/analysing narratives, and one thing that has struck me is how under-developed heroic characters often are comparatively to the villains. Before you object, just hear me out here - Is it not the case, with the exception of...

    Character Design Project

    (If this is the wrong thread, I apologize in advance >.<) Ever since I started drawing, I was never able to come up with unique or at least interesting designs. I got better after a few years, but my characters still kinda look the same. I thought looking at other character designs might help...

    Giving The Player Choices, and Taking Them Away

    My story takes the Hero into a situation where (I had planned) to give them a series of questions, the answers of which would lead them to what their "personal hero" would look like.  Then I ran into a creative issue. The story, as I have it written, requires the hero to have certain specific...

    Unsure of a battle system...

    OK, so my main concern for my game at the moment is what battle system to use for the following ideas. characters suffer Panic attacks and thus transform into another person using a state of "panic". this would allow a summon of sorts for a few turns until the state wears off. using Panic...

    Puzzle time!

    Hi all! I've been beavering away on Oh! Ko! post-comp, and I want to implement some 'physics' puzzles in there. I have a few ideas (though will be needing some support with eventing), but I was wondering if there is some previous discussion of types of puzzles that can be implemented in VX ace...

    Tent Interiors?

    First of all, I'm sorry if I post this in the wrong section. So I'm trying to map tent interiors in my project. The problem is, tents aren't like normal houses. I can't just map it like I would a normal house, as it wouldn't really feel like a 'tent'. But I'm really confused how to make a map...

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
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.
