Didn't there used to be maker specific forums? I can't find them anymore.

Anyway, I decided to go back to earthquake Warriors RPG, and I have a problem that's kind of been nagging at me: manually placing all the playable characters. There is going to be 16 regular playable characters, and the issue I have is that it is hard to arrange them perfectly in a way where you will never get two characters that are too close together, and I'm wondering if anyone has a grid I could work with where I could easily line up 16 characters manually so that they don't clump up together so badly.


... why can't I just use automatic placement? Because a main gimmick of this game is being able to turn into a giant version of the character you are playing as if you are alone, and it uses head animations on a static body, but in order to place all those heads where they need to go, the placement needs to be set to manual. That's why I don't just use automatic placement.

Time for the next chance for y'all to affect my advent calendar! Where should Day 7's sprite come from: land, sea, or demon realm? :rwink:
Throné's final boss is weird. He is a guy holding a baby while fighting off attackers. I think his name was Santos. I might be thinking of someone else.
I think I've just about finished fighting the fight with the tileset I was most intimidated by for game jam. No pictures yet, the map isn't presentable, but I think the tileset will work! I'm very relieved XD
Twitch! At it again with more gamedev for a couple hours, followed by some Valheim with my friend. Feel free to drop by~
these 80+ gb updates on several years old games are the absolute worst. I just want to play for an hour or so before bed to unwind. Sorry, gotta spend that time downloading an update. Then my mods will be broken so I'll have to start over or wait for those to be updated to. Is a complete game within three years of the pay to be a beta tester period really to much to ask?
