/rpgmg/ - RPG Maker General #192

Time to post some progress Anons
What are you working on?
When is your demo finished?

Don't die!

Today I met someone IRL who used Rpg Maker before, but they were scrub level.

>>169210762
I'm curious, how did you come to talk about RPG Maker at all?

>>169213162
It was a programming course focusing on python and I was talking about RPG maker since I knew more about it than python scripting.

Ok, so last time I posted this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT_0pzbhiEQ to find the plugin at 2:53.
I did some digging and found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irrkkZrlZ2k
So it was a concept rhythm plugin that has not been released to the general public or updated with a video in over a year.
Any other rhythm game plugins available?

Is there any plugin for character shadows for RPG Maker MV? There was one for VX that allowed you to make events that were basically "light sources" and the shadow was cast depending on the direction the character was.

It was bretty good.

>>169224093
Terralax Lighting Sytem, maybe?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZicT06Uzyl4
Or Quasi's Pixel Movement unless that was not what added the shadows in the video last thread.

Arise

Ok, so I have a digital clock and date hud with Orange Time System and Clock and Date and HUD, but how would I translate all this to an analogue clock that spins?

Is this character design and animation appropriate for a boy in a lewd ss game with monstergirls?

If you would take out your MC to watch a movie, what kind of genre would he/she enjoy?

>>169235971
The animations looks kinda wonky

>>169236195
Tranny porn, exclusively.

>>169236195
>The animations looks kinda wonky
I know, but I am not really able to spot what the issue is. I tried copying the animation from a youtube walking loop, but something went off.

>>169235971
Is big-headed children a recurring theme?
If not I'd adjust the head size slightly.

>Try it without the head motion, it might look more fluid.

>>169235971
It's alright. Don't just mirror the left and right movement for legs make them different. If you stare at the legs it looks like two frames of animation but the hands are 3. Could also move the body a bit more as he walks.

>>169235971
looks very feminine honestly

What's the moral of your game?

>>169235971
Make the hands go back more.

Post music

>>169244830
I can't seem to find one easily, but it shouldn't be difficult. Weren't SMTIV's animated sprites just two-frame animations with stretching?

Progress!

>>169248960
>Legs
When the right leg is forward it being higher is fine but not the left leg, it should be lower in the front
>Arms
Because it's hard to distinguish the background and foreground leg it looks like the arms are in the wrong sync.
>HEad
Head size is fine, that's a style thing, but the body itself should bob more.
Bring the body lower when the legs are apart, but keep the legs hitting the ground at the same pixels.

If possible post the spritesheet version.

I am looking for some advice.

I want to make a skill that hit 6 times, each hit does a different element of Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Light and Darkness.

My current solution is to create a new element that has 6 elements using Yanfly Element plugin but I don't know how to specific the element for each hit.

>>169252568
His script should have a code? Let me check

>>169252568
I would start looking into the formula set:
https://rpgmakermv.co/threads/damage-formulas-101-mv-edition.2172/

I think you could use that and Element Rate to create the effect.

>>169252568
Its literally on his site.

>Can't stay focused on a single project or idea long enough to get anything done because I worry about the details

>>169253585
Well, try to see what ideas work well together. It isn't too bad to abandon a project for a while if you are bored with it.

Also, consider reducing your game's scope if it gets too big. For example, if you only have one great idea for the ending and aren't sure about how to start the game, you could try starting your game in the "final dungeon" and explore earlier parts of the adventure just in playable and nonplayable flashbacks.

Pretty nail biting watching this. I know my game won't be for everyone, but I hope people enjoy it.

>>169255232
Nice.

>>169252958
So for example, if I want the skill does 6 hits with 6 different damage following Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Light and Darkness. I will need to make 6 damage formulas, each with 100% elemental rate for 1 element and null for the rest?

>>169252991
His note all mention how to add more elemental to one skill/item and how to specific element rate when skill/item with multi-element was used.

>>169254453

>>169256384
Not 6 damage formulas. 1 formula that has 6 damage applications. Each separated by a ";"

>>169256456
Glad you liked it! I plan on doing it for all the comics that come out. It doesn't take very long to do either

Plenty of thanks.

>>169208713
I'm just making a fun little game where you play as an incompetent diplomat trying to open up trade relations with other nations.

Right now I'm just working on a "talk" function for battle that let's the main character try to negotiate with enemies SMT style.

>>169257871
that sounds cool as fuck
I'd also like to make a talking battle system for a game. My current game doesn't really use it so I'm not working on it at the moment. Plus it's my first game so I don't want to get bogged down with a million ideas and features.

>check Attack Skill
>Element: Normal Attack
>Add State: Normal Attack 100%

What's the element and add state supposed to even be??

>>169208552
really pretty lighting.

>>169259540
Element to apply with the attack.
State to apply with the attack
if normal attack does none it does none. Otherwise it does whatever the normal attack does.

>>169258826
I want talking to enemies to be a key feature of the game since you're a diplomat, so I'm making it so that party members have permadeath on KO and the MC can talk to literally anything, even rocks.

>>169260091
So... they are basically set by the weapon you have or whatever is set on the enemy troop info?
It was worded weird, so I didn't get it.

Show me your very first enemy

>>169260268
Oh damn. That's pretty hardcore.
More games need permadeath I think

>>169260748
I'm just using the mv rtp right now. I'm debating whether or not to make custom assets. It's a never-ending rabbit hole that can prevent you from ever finishing.

But yeah the slime is a slime. The player can talk to it and they will always ask for items and money infinitely until you tell them no. If you tell them no early on then they get mad and attack buff themselves. If you tell them after feeding them twice or more then they fuck off.

The next few enemies are recolored slimes with slightly different behavior.

Saps will ask you a random philosophical question and then attack you unless your answer is stupid. If you pick the "obviously wrong" answer they also give you an item to commend your "intellect".

Freshbloods will ask to drain your health infinitely until you stop them. If you feed them at all they will feel entitled to attack you afterwards. If you don't feed them they go into slime negotiation mode.

Goos do a random one out of the 3 previous.

Mess is a dungeon midboss but you can still negotiate a truce with it. You have to shame it for attacking you 3 times in a row without hitting back to make it give up.

>>169255232
ohgod no why help it's painful to watch

>>169263026
It's not that bad. I actually watched the whole thing. She's a soulless asian for like 30 minutes but opens up halfway through.
I played the first demo and noticed that the health went way up. She never did any upgrades or extra battles other than the forced ones. She actually gives up on the last battle because it was too hard. She said she was going to try in another video to finish it.

>>169263228
It doesn't help how much she opens up if she never smartens up.
>I see I've got experience points, let me just NOT SPEND THEM
>I just got wrecked by this bird, let me reload and NOT SPEND MY EXPERIENCE POINTS
>I just got wrecked by the actual boss after the bird, let me reload and NOT SPEND MY FUCKING EXPERIENCE POINTS
>I JUST NOTICED that my bite attack drains health the 32nd time I use it

>>169263632
Yeah I hoped that she would have a revelation at some point and figure it out.

Love your stuff, m8. It's always so comfy.

>>169263026
>ohgod no why help it's painful to watch
I loved it, it's seriously humbling to watch someone play your game.

>>169263228
I doubled the damage of everything and doubled the health. My original formulas were all messed up and this allows me to balance defense better. Should all be proportional to what it was.

>>169263632
>>169264013
I think that there is some truth to the fact that she didn't play as well as she should at some points, but she did say she had never ever played an rpg before. Given that, I'd say she did surprisingly well for the most part.

It's a really tough challenge to balance things out. My top priority is to make it challenging and interesting, so there isn't that much balance that needs tweaking as its stands now, only minor. That being said, any time a player says they are "confused" I try to take it as a lesson as a developer. Maybe some things should have been explained better. I already identified a few places where I can help clarify stuff like how even failing a release ability will still grant an effect, just not as powerful. The explanations stop after the Farm area (the demo), so it's important that I spend as much time as I can there laying the groundwork.

I really appreciate her uploading this, it's insanely helpful to hear someones random thoughts as they play the game.

>>169264549
>LeoHeart is a qt asian grill!

Takes a while to rename everything to spec, but I'm doing this so none of the future devs will have to.

Everything so far is sectioned so Physical skills are Techniques, Magic skills are Magics, and unique or special skills are called Originals.

I swear I'll get to the actual story eventing soon.

>>169264928
>but she did say she had never ever played an rpg before
No, she said she HAS, just not on that channel.

I'm sure it's great to see your stuff played, but lacking those warm fuzzies, I'm less inclined to enjoy it just for existing.

Also please don't add more explanations, the tutorials I saw in the video were more than long enough already.

(A quick prompt from the snail to FUCKING LEVEL UP before heading into the boss fight might not be out of place, though. Maybe have it trigger if the player hasn't spent any points up until that.)

>>169267693
Thanks and I agree with you. I actually did what you suggested after watching the video. I agree with you that it's mostly fine, I just added about three total dialog boxes. Not going to go overboard :)

It must be a nice feeling seeing that other people enjoy your game, I wish mine will have the same effect.

>>169271442
You know what anon? It is a pretty good feeling and you WILL feel it too.

I-I feel kind of bad right now. I'm currently trying to build up a dynamic AI, rooted in responding to needs.

I started with food and hunger. In the test, when the NPC is hungry (hunger meter == 75), she walks to the food plate, eats, and returns to her old spot. To save myself on waiting time, I started her hunger meter at 76 and set eating to fill it only 5 rather than 25.

So everything works fine, but in this setup, I realized that by the time the NPC returns to her old spot, her hunger meter has already returned to 75, leading her to return back to eat, creating this endless loop of walking and eating.

It's like I've created a child and only given it a desire to feed, with no way to satiate itself. I-I'm sorry, little NPC2.

Oh, and trick of the day that I've learned:

To move an NPC (or even the player, if you substitute "$gamePlayer" in there) one step towards a given (X,Y) coordinate, pic related is the script call.

This is similar to the one I already knew, which was to move an NPC one step towards another event (or the player) with
>$gameMap.event(n).moveTowardCharacter($gameMap.event(m))

I feel like this might be a common question
How do I have a skill affect the user while damaging an enemy
Basically just trying to make an attack that raises the user's attack

Has anyone tried making their whole game operate under the Tales like battle system? I want to cheat my way into a platformer.

>>169280812
There's been a platformer script for VX Ace and an action battle script for VX ace by the same guy but they don't function together, so if you wanted to make a platformer, it'd end up like mario at best.

I'm making progress on my atari-style horror puzzle game.
The horror comes from the lack of instructions.

>>169300131
that's horrible alright

Do you use Scrum and/or other agile methodologies when managing your project?

Is there a way to make a state that sets HP to a specfic value? Like, I want to make a state that, when inflicted, sets the party to 1 hp.

Using ace, if it matters.

And now I finished two puzzle maps, one a new type of puzzle and another using elements of two previous puzzles.

Is there anyway to edit the Made With MV plugin to where a different picture pops up as a splash screen and for a different time?
I could edit the code but I mean edit what to what and how.

Damn. I moved the arms too much and now it looks like he is dancing or something.

Also, somebody in /aco/'s /weg/ told me to give him a shirt, but I think it doesn't look good. Besides, my idea for the story was that he was in summer vacation with his aunt in some rather warm town with either a lake or a beach nearby. So I imagined it would make sense if he slept shirtless.

What do you guys think of the walking animation and character design now?

>>169387813
you could just move the arms in sync with the legs

Try to look at some walk cycles from other animations to get some help, but mainly:
>Arms do not appear to be moving front or back in the up and down facing ones, they only seem to be shaking a little from one side to another.
>Legs also don't appear to actually be taking steps forward in the up and down facing one, they appear to be stomping and lack any sort of depth.
>The arms don't move back enough in the left and right facing ones.
>Head seems far too stationary in the bottom one. The movement of the head in the other ones looks ok, but not in the bottom one.

Trying to figure out how to get this behavior sprite to dance should not be this hard. Could someone help me please?

>>169396640
>>169396735
Oh, wait. That might be one of those 3-in-1 animations. If you notice that it's more suited for going straight top to bottom without the left and right frames, you may need to split the three columns into 3 separate $dance.png files.

Unless using the starting frame as the top left and turning off walking animations somehow maintains step-consistency when turning.

>>169396640
Can confirm, turning off the walking animation does maintain your step (ie column). So it's just a matter of controlling via turns and waits.

>>169397264
didn't even think to add waits. thanks friend

>>169325664
The plan is a priority system which should factor in convenience as well as intensity of need. So if it happened to meet the threshold for sleep and eating at the same second (it updates per second), it would factor what it's currently doing along with how far the nearest bed/food source is to decide which it will do next. It may even finish its current action first if that has a higher priority value, which is pretty likely since just meeting the threshold is fairly low in priority.

I want to include a queue or scheduler for successive actions, but that's proving to be a bit more tedious and messy than I wish.

>>169397995
Oh, and needs will also be weighted by time of day. For example, 30 minutes to an hour before work, an NPC will have a much higher desire to eat compared to other times of day, even at the same or hunger meter level.

How is that game going, anon?

>>169406316
Designing puzzles and trying to fix this one glitch that I turned into a feature.

>put "special effect: escape" on an item
>put "can escape" tick on that forced encounter
>go do other shit
>play test and find out that a thing i thought to be the most simple is actually the hardest

It was kind of working. Music would stop and game would just hang with nothing happening.

Eventually i managed to do an escape battle item by checking for "can't escape" state and if it's not on aborting the battle through a common event but damn.

Don't even use any scripts right now, wonder why that didn't work. Here's hoping i won't forget to put that state on when needed.

Anyone had something similar? Common events are fine but if i could get a simple tick box working it sure would be much more convenient, already using plenty of common events could keep it more organized.

A walking animation shouldn't have frames where the character's back/legs are completely straight, you need his profile to change as he moves.

Are there any scripts for Ace that let you do physical/normal attack reflection? All the ones I've found are for elemental/magic stuff.

it feels like they pause too long on one side, their....left side, yeah. I think it should be more symmetrical with how much time is spent swinging arms to each side.

I'm progressing in my project.

It was a comedy-focused zombie game featuring my group of friends as the main characters. It used the rm2k3 default battle system and was full of such obtuse inside jokes that I don't get about half of them, playing it about ten years later. It had all custom assets, though, so i think it was still a decent bit charming.

>>169438039
I don't drop projects, I just shelve them for an indefinite period of time

>>169440198
which is the same as dropping 2bh

>>169438039
Some project I did just to learn how to use RPG maker. It was some sort of parody with a self aware MC who kept trying to beat the first boss and failing each time due to having simple things locked before each defeat, like item vendors, skill trainers or believing he was your stereotypical jrpg swordsman hero when he was a squishy mage with a cripplingly low str and vit.

It was supposed to transition the tilesets and graphics from shitty paint 20 second works to RTP to actually decently made tiles, and supposedly going to end with the "it was all a dream" punchline.

Don't die again dammit, let's try to reach limit at least this time!

>>169445889
M-maybe if you hold me tightly

Post reasons why you're not progressing.

Or progress.

>>169449957
Had a lot to do today and yesterday, but I have a 4 day block of nothing but dev. Excited for that!

>>169438039
Several in middle/high school where the MC was someone like me - loners who hated authority. Usually stuck in some crummy military academy. Mostly (but not always) gifted with some kind of power. Occasionally joined by a girl who either liked him, was as snarky as him, or both. Otherwise, it was a nice kind girl who only wanted to help the MC overcome his edgyness (and then later they'd fall in love).

I also tried to make more than a few in the WRPG vein where the main character was highly customizable. I kept making more options than I could code, so it fell through.

what should I work on for my game before I go to sleep?

How long to you think your game will be?

>>169460575
If you go at a brisk pace and don't look at everything/read everything than probably about 15 hours. A slow/detailed clear will most likely take 20-25.

I'm done with the first two major areas and have about 6 more to do.

Let us reach the stars

>>169456079
I get so stuck trying to make character creation varied and interesting that I don't even develop a plot. I like making systems like FFT or Morrowind where your character can have all sorts of subtleties. Seems kinda silly now, making an RPG with the gameplay as the focus. Much easier to fiddle with classes than learn how to write good chracters

bump post

I've been workling on ym current project for too long. I feel like if I drop it and start over again, I'd get so much done. It'd be true for a while, but the honeymoon would surely wear off and I'd be stuck in the same rut as last time: Unable to finish. The drive running out before the work. Reminds me of fighting games a bit: Beating certain people just seems impossible until you figure it out, and then one day you beat them and in retrospect it all make sense. I gotta bust through this, or finishing will never make sense.

Good night bump

>>169467937
Exactly my man. I've had those moments too, I know that feeling. What helps me is to think about how much I am learning with art/music/game design. Though stumbling is expected, you're still doing something creative and constructive. To me it's more productive and eventually fulfilling than watching tv all day or grinding in an MMO. Just remember that sweat and work is most of what makes you successful. Having the ability and determination to see a project through is what separates sucessful people and non sucessful.
