Okay, it just hit me, it should have been this.drawName(); so it was a Syntax error on my part, problem is no tutorial I read said how to use a method/function, only how to define it.


-------------------------
Just started out with JS and am a bit uncertain why the following code works, but my attempt at changing and modularising it lead to some problems. First the original:
Scene_Title.prototype.drawGameTitle = function() {

// Background
var bitmap = ImageManager.loadTitle1('TitleBG');
var bg = new Sprite(bitmap);
this._bg = bg;
this.addChild(bg);

...

// Title Name
var bitmap = ImageManager.loadTitle1('TitleName');
var titleName = new Sprite(bitmap);
this._titleName = titleName;
this._bg.addChild(titleName);
}
Click to expand...
I wanted to change it so that all my sprites are added in their own sub-methods, or in this case functions:

...


// Title Name
Scene_Title.prototype.drawName();
}

Scene_Title.prototype.drawName = function() {
var bitmap = ImageManager.loadTitle1('TitleName');
var titleName = new Sprite(bitmap);
this._titleName = titleName;
this._bg.addChild(titleName);
}
Click to expand...
Appearently this._bg is undefined in the new function, so what am I doing wrong? Is it a simple Syntax error or have I missed something deeper? (I am most familiar with Ruby where this kind of thing should have worked)

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.

Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
