Season Pass DLC4: Kids Released

@Archeia Oh, that would be really cool!  Just give me some days and I will do what I can. The face parts are quite difficult to edit (at least for me) but the rest should work fine (even though it's pretty much content).

 

@mara_vertin & @Archeia, I'm not very proficient with editing graphics, but if I can help in any way, please let me know!

@MiacuroThank you very much! It's not that unlikely that you will hear me cry fo help...

 

Wow! I am so glad to hear that this is out. Pardon but how can I get this dlc separately on Steam? It says in the Season pass that it will be priced at $10 but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

Right now you can only get it with the season pass. Only DLC 1 can be purchased separately at the moment. 

 

Great work, everyone!

 

For the first time I regret not having MV through steam, didn't care a lick about any of the previous 3 dlc, but I'd buy the pass right now if steam would let me for the last one alone.

 

Everyone has MV on steam, because the key for the standalone doubles as a key for activating MV on steam.

And if you wait a few months, DLC 4 will become available without season pass (they have promised to release all four parts independently after a time, but currently only the first two parts are available independently, the second part was released one or two months back).

 

I hate Steam with a passion, but the sale prices for VX Ace and MV last year were just too good to pass up. Wish I had it and VX Ace DRM-free, but at least I own them now after years of using 95/2000/2003/XP (and these new makers are glorious!).

I'm with the other posters here, though, who didn't care about the other season pass stuff at all, especially for the price (it wasn't on sale when the other content was, or if it was at a very slight reduction) but now really want the kids generator parts.

IMO, this should really have been a standalone DLC as it is pretty "essential" after the "Kids" section was added to the generator and I'm sure lots of folks who didn't care about the "season pass" (that term alone makes my stomach churn a bit, thanks to console games in the last few years!) stuff like music or a few sprites would buy this in a heartbeat. As long as it's fairly priced, though, I'll pick it up when it is released as a stand-alone, or else if/when the season pass goes on sale.

To be quite honest, I am surprised there haven't been a string of DLC releases of generator parts for VXA or MV, as it seems like a no-brainer for paid little DLCs (i.e. tilesets and music are dime-a-dozen, but generator parts take a lot of work to make, aren't popular to make, yet allow total beginners to create new stuff with ease and are best if adhering to the original official style so they match what already exists).

 

It there any plans for the kid generator to be available on GCH: PE for free to Season pass holder. Since I used it to mass generate random character for games and such. They already find a way to make it DLCcross-purchase to both version of CGH, So it should be the same if CGH can detect if I already own the season pass or the standalone DLC.

Edit: Auto-emote (much worst than auto-correct)

 

Yup, that's why I presumed that very few users create Generator parts. Certainly I can see that an average user wants to make their *own* game in their own style, and will either do their own art, commission an artist, or use existing assets. As both a commercial writer and amateur artist, I know how much extra work it is to have to emulate someone else's style, especially if it needs to be flawless.

I am talking about the company behind RPG Maker themselves (Kadokawa) making Generator part DLC, though, not average users or third-party semi-official DLC artists. RPG Maker is a commercial product, and while some of the best resources over the many years of these makers have come from "fans", it is only recently that the company themselves have been making a big deal of releasing paid resources ("DLC"). Since Kadokawa is a business, I wouldn't expect them to care that making Generator parts is less enjoyable than making, say, a new sprite set... whichever one sells better would be the one to make and sell, surely?

Precisely *because* most users or even third-party artists (who charge for tilesets, etc.) don't make Generator parts is just why I am so surprised Kadokawa doesn't leverage them as paid addon content... the Generator seems a ready-made way to do this (for better or worse); compare it to video games who charge for new player costumes, reskins, etc.

NOTE: this isn't me saying "gah, people should make Generator parts!" but rather "I'm surprised Kadokawa treats the Generator as a bit of an afterthought rather than a steady source of DLC income post-maker release".

Maybe it's a good thing? In this day and age of DLC "nickle-and-diming", the fact a company didn't take an obvious route of charging $1.99 a piece for two new hairstyles or sets of eyebrows is probably a positive!

 

I wonder if there's a way just to get the kid parts. I'm kinda sheepish about buying stuff for just one thing and nothing else.

 

@MobileSuitSonic If you can be patient then yes you will but I wasn't and have to say being able to make child npcs alone is easily worth the price. It's a very nice addition since there are never enough child resources out there as most games don't find children to be a necessity in their worlds.

 

I guess it's the same with adult NPCs with me: I need people who don't look like they're the adventuring type, but that's the MO of the character generator.

 

That's because they have to try to appeal to the broadest audience. And since traditionally most games are about groups of people going on adventures - that's what they cater to.

 

What will be the next season pass? Someone knows?
