What causes a thread to die? A timer that keeps track of when the last post was made or something? Because if that's the case, I can post pretty much anything and everything I do to keep threads alive a little longer or something.

The last thread died at 50ish posts. Pretty disgusting.

Rate my sparkly orange fruit with red stripes! It'll be very useful late game.

Looks more like a ball then a fruit.

Why does having long threads that autosage always kills the next thread prematurely?
Do we get confident or something?

>>127511734
If a thread goes below page 10, it's dead. Really, we just need to be active and it'll at least stay alive.

1200x720 so there are only full tiles on screen

>>127519574
Do you really? That's fucking awesome!

>>127519552
In my game, there is a resource called (cheezy and a rip off I know, but I don't really give a fuck). Each character generates it differently, and it is depleted when using abilities.

The main character gets by helping his friends, the healer gains for healing. Another class gains for damaging themselves and has the ability to taunt enemies into attacking them. Another gets for dancing, etc.

>>127519109
I would try to go for a smug look. Try to just google "smug look" and get inspired from there. You have to have some kind of reference material, especially when starting out.

Imo, her eyes look a bit strange. Something about the pupils dividing the whites into bands. Pretty good otherwise though.

>>127530485
why does she have green teeth?

>>127530597

I see what you mean. I'll probably make the whites less straight then.

>>127530830

It's supposed to be a turtle neck.

I can't decide how serious or comedic I want my game to be. What are you guys doing?

The eyes look boxy when zoomed out, that's what makes the eyes strange to me.

>>127541336
That's not the only way to add a chin to your sprite. Also, a straight 45° angled straight line isn't the only way to make it don't have a chin.

>>127541336
You should try and move the ear more to the front.

I gotta admit to you all, it is such a good feeling when you nail that perfect scene, get the right atmosphere, fill in interesting dialog. My shit sucks, I know that, I have a long way to go, oh fuck do I know that... but making games... is one of the best feelings on earth.

Making mini-games from 0 is not fun at all, I say.

>>127549194
What minigame are you working on?

It's 10am here, didn't expect to royally fuck my sleep schedule like this but damn. Got caught up in making my game and discussing games with my dev partner/helper. Time flies when you're making video games.

I'm curious, because I want to be able to draw players in; what hooks you from the beginning of a game (in terms of story?) I feel my plot is strong, but I worry that it has a slow start because it's supposed to begin with a normal world with a few small problems and slowly you find more and more wrong until you get thrown into the heart of it. I should I have some sort of hook in the intro/opening that suggests something more intense or should I let it simmer the way it's set to at the moment?

>>127551075
I sleep from 11 am to 6 pm, its fucking terrible.

I'm in a similar predicament with my game, it starts sort of like your typical rpg... lets say... chrono trigger for example. You wake up in your room and then the story starts unfolding slowly. I think it can be done, you just have to make sure that within 30min - 1hr of gameplay, you have something really unexpected and interesting happen, preferably something that sends the plot screaming along.

>>127550572
Agario and Cookie Clicker rehash

>>127551075
To elaborate, you should have an important enemy introduced within the first 30-60 mins of gameplay. They can be the main antagonist or his right hand man, but there needs to be something that hits players upside the head and says "This is your motivation!"

>>127551075
Go read about monomyth or the hero's journey

does anyone have a script that allows a recruited party member be around the same level as the character thats recrtuting him

>>127553236

>>127554205
tell us your game, fonzie

>>127554261
YOU are a character male or boy named Hero, you wake up in a strange world and your actions in the beggining of the game alters the whole story so one weird move intentional or accidental can trigger a wide range of stories from stopping a criminal empire and there corrupt rule or saving a small village from vampires and were wolves

to help you on your jounrye you can recruit around 50 party members around the game, that's right not 1 or 4 or even 6

FIFTY CHARACTERS THAT RANGE FROM BADASS TO GOOFY

I plan on making it 100% original minus maybe the tilesets becuase that shits kinda hard, so ill use the DLC but sprites and enemies and music and such are all on me and 2 colleagues who aren't delivering

that sounds pretty ambitious

yeah but that's the easy part

>>127554904
Graphics are probably one of the top 3 things that make your game interesting and sell well (is this a commercial project?). Music is probably 2nd, and gameplay 1. Delivery and story is usually 4th. This is just my opinion though. People won't care what you're saying if it doesn't look interesting.

my sprite guy is working on stuff, tho it's taking him time to deliver and i'm not skilled enough to make nice looking sprites for everyone

problem is he and my music man are taking too much time, if they cant deliver i'll have to try myself

>>127555462
If I were them, I would be completely overwhelmed. Having to make 50 sprites is quite a massive amount of work. To hire someone to do this for you would cost a LOT of money. I have a lot of people who want to help me, but I know no one that will make 50 sprites for me, let alone NPCs and enemies.

I wish you the best of luck, but I hope I can impart the importance of sticking to small projects until you have a large and or super productive team, or massive amount of experience.

>>127573578
From VX Ace's help file:

Base Value
Sets the base value for calculating the required experience points. Setting a smaller value reduces the required experience points overall.

Extra Value
Sets an extra value to add to the experience points necessary for each level.

Acceleration A
Adjusts the degree of acceleration for the required experience points. Setting a larger value proportionally increases the required experience points as levels increase.

Acceleration B
Adjusts the degree of acceleration for the required experience points. Setting a larger value increases the required experience points mainly at higher levels.

Doesn't give an actual formula, but this should be useful, hopefully.

Now entering roleplay mode. Please excuse the faggotry.

(The character's name should be Taka)

T-Taka is beary friendly, b-but also kind of dumb... But she always does her best! S-She has a bit of a stutter and sometimes people say that she talks in third person but Taka has no idea what they're talking about. People also call Taka a bear but Taka always tells them that she isn't one by saying "N-Not a bear!", b-because she isn't! Really! So many mean people, picking on Taka like that... G-Gaooo...

(Gao is the sound bears make. Also note the bear puns.)

tumblr is easy to manage and I'm more familiar with it, due to experiences with having an art blog and all.
And if SJWs ever got on my ass for the sexualized robots, I'd hardly give a fuck, I could even go as far as subtly mock them in-game..

>>127606639
I know "lel eww tumblr" is the common mentality, and usually I'm inclined to agree, but Tumblr is a great website for cataloging your work and spreading it. Nothing wrong with that.

Is there a way to make monsters use a certain attack more often if you have a certain type of item equipped?

>>127607217
You should include a small group of robots who sit around in one town and complain about how robots are constantly being designed with thick childbearing hips and it is insulting and oppressive towards robots. Then have your main characters comment how stupid they are.

Will one of you fuckers answer the question this guy asked? I am wondering about whether or not to get MV as well.

>>127610741
>>127530320
There are, esentially, two camps.

1) Those that believe MV is awesome because it can export to the App Store, GooglePlay, etc. They love the new features and REALLY like the switch to JavaScript. To them, MV is the best RPGM yet! (I am of this mindset).

2) People who will tell you it is complete trash, designed for mobile device games and nothing more. The audio issues and small amount of bugs (I have experienced none) are often cited as reasons to stick with VX Ace.

The only thing I hate about MV is the lack of an ARPG plugin, because fuck knows I don't want to make it.

>>127611075

First, thanks for replying so fast.

>audio issues

Elaborate please?

>>127611535
you got mp3s? dont feel like converting to ogg?

sucks 2 b u

>>127611075
Even if you haven't experienced MV's bugs, your players will. Speaking as one of your alpha testers, the sound bugs MV has (all of the text SEs playing at once, the music not starting until a few seconds in to a room, etc) do make the products rough around the edges.

>>127611535
People say that the engine takes some time to load audio files, and it throws them out of sync (like, its hard to time up things). I have not found this to be the case, and there is even a preload manager plugin that fixes it.

>>127611635

So, just convert them?

>>127611785
Thats no good, I'll have to look into getting the preload manager up and running.

I find you can make some neat designs with skeletons if you start putting bones in the wrong places, or stretch/bend existing ones.

This design for Voshim, for instance, came from slapping on some bones into spots, pulling some features down or out, super-expanding the chest bones and adding some horns and wings.

Play around with it and play to what your character's about. Voshim's a Reaper-like Goddess, so I made sure that most of her is pointy, or scythe-like.

Ah, I don't think it's life threatening; just painful, disabling, and sometimes mortality clarifying. When you're in bed, shaking uncontrollably while you're feeling nausea and immense pressure and a dull, fiery, pain in your bowels you wonder a bit whether it could be something worse.

Still, I figure it's either microscopic colitis or candida - nasty stuff either way, but not life threatening and only a mild irritant once I get it managed. It's something to get fixed, surely, when I've got money to get fixed. For now, I've gotta continue riding on the seat of my pants.

I've gotten through six months, and it's only ever been worse than it is now; I'll live to my next paycheck where I can finally get this squared away.

Mine came from a restaurant. I had a long-standing rule of 'no pasta outside the home' which I recently broke, and it quickly became apparent why that rule had been put in place. Some places think they can just reheat Mac N Cheese and sell it to you. Other places (like Domino's Pizza, of all people) have to make thiers fresh, when ordered, so you're not at risk. Buffets? Chain restaurants where its 'in the back' on a hot plate? You're better off starving.

The only mixels I could spot on that screenshot were probably just caused by the parallaxing by standing at that specific spot. The pixels are all the same size but since the trees move at a different speed from the foreground, such a thing is bound to occur.

Nope. Take a look at this article: http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299&PID=139318#139318
Every piece of digital art is composed of pixels, but that doesn't make it pixel art. Ask any pixel artist and they will agree.

>>127737279
Sorry, but it really is.

As sprite art gets higher res, the pixels become less and less significant. The point where you consider it to no longer be "pixel art" is completely arbitrary.

Hell, my view of what would be considered "pixel art" excludes a good portion of that image.

>>127737868
>Hell, my view of what would be considered "pixel art" excludes a good portion of that image.
That's because all of that IS pixel art. Thanks for proving my point.
Pixel art is constructed in an entirely different way then other digital art. That's what I'm getting at. A larger pixel art piece may look similar to any other piece of digital art, but it is not constructed the same way.
I know you ignored the article it posted, but it explains very clearly what I'm trying to say.

Oh. It is difficult, I did read that wrong.
You're wrong though. All of that is pixel art. I'm curious, what parts of that image do you not consider pixel art? Or do you perhaps think that pixel art just doesn't exist? Where is the line?

Before you answer though, to clarify, the creation of pixel art is what categorizes it.
But it doesn't matter what I think. There is a whole community that has already categorized pixel art. I'm just explaining what pixel art is, I'm not defining what it is to me.

I dunno

>>127732098
Looks highly inspired by OFF. Which means, of course, I must play it.

How is this general shape?

ITS TIME TO STOP POSTING

I like it

I want to create a game akin to episodes but am I doing too much? The time, the planning, how each character interacts is where I am stumped at. I have the whole world in my head but just how the characters feel, talk, and act is what is crushing me.

I just want people to like my characters and attach themselves to them.

>>127760175
I hear that

>>127748061
Just curious, how much do you have in mind for your game?

Is it worth going back to 32x32 tiles in MV or will it become a headache?

Dark, desaturated colours painting the insides of an apartment.

Is it a horror game you're making there, anon?

>>127760175
I generally have the opposite problem. I like (and am good at) weaving together character personalities and dialogue. But I always feel like my world falls flat and the plot itself is usually just an excuse for more character interaction, and is usually terrible.

>>127769706
It has horror themes.

>>127770119
Could be interesting. What's the game supposed to be about?

>>127773025
A NEET battling inner demons.

That summary sounds close to the summary of Yume Nikki's. Haven't played it though so I can't be sure.

Could be interesting. Any potential demo or anything?

>>127773737
There are quite a few different interpretations of what Yume Nikki is actually about. If you want to get a bit into, I suggest you read the manga, though it's not exactly top notch on everything, it's still interesting in its own way.

>>127773737
Yeah it's kind of inspired by it but not really. The game is divided in two areas, your apartment and your mind, and the choices you make in your apartment influence how easy it will be to battle the shit going on inside your head.

Like you could swallow some painkillers during the day to make battling easier but if you take too many in a row your mind'll go numb and enemies will get harder. Shit like that.

>>127773927
Nope not right now. I just started doing some art.

>>127774125
That kind of description definitely gives off a Yume Nikki vibe. In any case, sounds interesting. Will be looking forward to any future updates you have. Good luck with development!

5 - 7 bucks, but I plan on handing out a lot of keys, especially here.

I think its worth 5 for sure, but 7 is prob stretching it. I guess it depends on how long it is, I think asking a dollar for each hour of playtime is acceptable (provided everything is custom assets/music/sound).

>>127775210
Yeah especially if it's a first game, $5 seems acceptable. I saw before that you mentioned you were aiming for ~5 hours so I think that's fairly reasonable.

Thankos.

>>127775489
Good, I'm glad you are of the same mindset. I did a lot of looking into what people are paying, how they feel about these things, etc.

I'm not using Kickstarter, early access, or asking people for money before it's done. So, in my mind, I think that also helps justify it a bit. It's pretty financially difficult to make a game on your own.

>>127768708
>>127775506

This looks really cool, keep it up!

>>127775746
Agreed. I have no idea how long mine will be. I'm aiming to build a system for a proof of concept I'll toss out here whenever it's done to see if it's worth continuing work on. It borrows a bit from some existing systems so I want to make sure it's different enough while retaining the parts that made the original interesting.

Pixel "ART" is about controlled placement of pixels in order to create a composition. Thats' the entire point of it.

Digital Art, while it IS made of Pixels, doesn't necessarily make it "Pixel ART".

Awesome, the message is getting across!

When you find him, he is mad with hunger after being left chained in his owner's back yard. It is never explicitly explained to the player, but his owner became a drug addict and got arrested (and/or overdosed, it's pretty open to your interpretation). You discover this by looking around the area after freeing him.

In order to free him, you have to break the chain while he is attacking you, mad with hunger. After you do, he vows to help you get home and joins the party (that's the short version, anyway).
