I just got RPG Maker MV (Haven't messed with RPG Maker since like... 2000?) I wanted to see how non-standard graphics would look since I don't really like the high-res tiny sprites look that the game has by default. I see you used a script to change the tile size, do you know any good resources for learning how to implement new graphics?


I played your newest Demo, it was funny and interesting, but I took the medicine in the afternoon on the second day and it made me fall asleep and reset the Demo, which I didn't expect. I'll try playing it again.


Also, what resolution is your game set to? I like the size of the sprites and so on.

You a couple of options if you want to use lower res textures. You can resize the textures to 48x48. If you use 16x16 textures you can do this cleanly, just make sure when you resize you turn off any resampling options (in photoshop use "nearest neighbour".)


You could also use a plugin like Shaz's ChangeTileSize. There are instructions with the plugin.


Mars Underground is currently at 1024x600. I use 16x16 tilesets and Masked's MBS_MapZoom plugin to zoom the screen in 3 times. 

 

[alexanderarts]

Oh okay, thanks Kilgore Trout. I think I am fine with the 48x48 textures, I just want them to appear large on screen, like a Playstation 1 RPG.

Updated the first post with a new, improved description, new screenshots and more!

 

[Linard]

Hello cool game   What plugin did you use on your menu that there's a cancel button to support it on mobile?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

The menus are all done using events along with Yanfly and Hime plugins. Touchable onscreen icon uses DMV Map Buttons.

 

[Linard]

Thanks

After a year away in hibernation, trying to get this game finished, I've just released a new demo and updated my wesbsite.
The new Mars Underground demo let’s you play through a single cycle of the time loop.

There's a lot of changes and improvements since the last demo (it's been almost a year), a lot more you can potentially see and do. I think it's worth playing through more than once now...

Check it out

oh my, this looks wonderful.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Hi!
I haven't been around for a while (been busy working on Mars Underground.)
I have some exciting news: my game won a placement in the PAX Aus Indie Showcase this year!

After working on this game for more than 3 years it finally has a release date!

I first announced the existence of the game right here on RPG Maker Web on the 31st December 2015.
There was a Kickstarter.
I became a dad.
I had the opportunity to take the game to PAX.
And soon it will be out!
