Just thought I'd take the time to introduce myself to everyone here. I've been a sporadic contributor to the RM site 'Creation Asylum', mainly with very brief and very easy eventing systems and help, but I never really did enough on RM to get good at it. I dabbled in XP for a while, but never managed to finish a major game... If I'm honest, I've never really gotten past the "average" level with my only finished project being a game I made for my friend. It was a simple 5 minute game made in the space of 4 weeks and wasn't any good, but it was the thing that made me decide to become a part of a community. It still holds a special place in my heart. Anyway, I kinda dropped away from it all, only lurking around various forums to either get scripts or graphics which mostly went unused.

After quite a long hiatus due to school and being intimidated by not only how good the other games were but how much time and effort had gone into them, I finally stumbled upon the Japanese trial for Ace. I was amazed and downloaded right away. Ever since then, pretty much all of my time has been making very, VERY small projects just to learn in's and out's given it's limitations. After also Playing Princess Princess by Ness, my vigour was renewed and I realised why I loved RM in the first place... and now that school isn't that much of a hassle for me anymore, it being my last year, my fiddling with the trial to grow my skills and a RM that is painfully simple, I figured that I should get back into the scene. I decided to take the chance to pre-order (something I missed with XP as VX was already out way after I discovered it) and now, here I am!

So, that's my story if you will... I know, I know, no-one needs to know that but I think a story about a guy who fell out of love with RM only to have that passion rekindled by Ace is a great story! One maybe even worthy of committing to game form! But I really hope that this time, I can be more active and maybe even finally beat my tendency to procrastinate and actually get a proper game done, haha... Well, that's enough of me, I've rambled and bored you guys enough, so I guess I'll leave you with a big "See you guys soon!" because I assure you, you'll be seeing plenty of me.

For a tl; dr version: I used be part of an RM community, stopped and now I'm back. Standard stuff, really.

...I also really like to eat pie. And small children. But mostly pie.

Why, thank you! I've already got many ideas for projects and I even used the trial to basically start working on one piece-by-piece.

And yes, I know! It is an epic for the ages! One of the issues I've had was that the only forum I posted on was pretty much either dead or focused more on the inner circle of those who had been there from the start, but now that this is a fresh forum where everyone is new and is also on the actual English site, I feel like I can actually build a "community spirit" here which will help encourage me to get over all those humps I've suffered...

I lurked on many-a-forums because of that very reason myself. Very happy with seeing this community grow so fast in just one day, and active at that!

Hi Asto :) now you're part of the "inner circle" yourself. It's nice to be able to meet new people from the very start of a new community - that chance doesn't come along very often.

Nice story. I hope you stick with it this time.

*note to self: keep small children away from Asto*

Hi Asto. Seen you around the forum and you've almost killed me with laughter a few times already.

I've had my ups and downs with RPG Maker too.

I thought Princess Princess was pretty good too. Loved the Sairen bits. I need to finish it sometime soon.

I'm a big fan of pie as well and would you like to baby sit some kids who can't seem to listen? :p

Yeah, I thought at first you were stalking me, which is weird because usually I do the stalking and sleep-watching. ...And face rubbing.

I think I've stolen about 6 of your likes now and now I've become addicted to it. I need more. Give me more, man... I'm jonesing for a hit.

And concerning your kids, don't worry. After I'm finished with baby-sitting 'em, you'll never hear from them again. >.>

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.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
