Man, getting the zooming behavior I want is like pulling teeth. I'm not sure MV's default zooming scripts (which come with Scene_Map) were actually tested rigorously.

Well, at least I fixed the flickering messagebox issue. With a couple more tweaks I think this 'glitchy monitor' addon will be ready to distribute.

Thanks, anon. Hopefully it'll look better when it's at its intended 'closer zoom'. I'd show it off right now but uh, well, it's not really working right.

I just can't seem to get the screen's zoom offsets to math up uniformly with the center of the player character - so it works right now but it's still a bit poorly offset.

Anyone interested in a link whenever I've finished working out the kinks to this plugin?

Starting a spionage/adventure game project. Should I go with VXA and it's extensive library of tuts and pre-made assets/scripts or give MV a chance?

You seem to already be in a better path than I am, and I have been toying with this program for about a year, to be honest.

If I were to make custom sideview battlers in the future, would using 3d models look weird? I can't sprite for shit. I would use simple textures so the models don't look off

>Are you going to sell your game?
Not unless I feel like I have something worth people's money, which isn't the case just yet.
But I'd rather be sure either way.

I guess I'll just google every piece I want to use and see if anybody owns it. Thanks.

>>121088823
Aw. Well, would you be okay with giving it out?

>>121088656
The problem with this is while many classical scores are in public domain, their orchestrated performance are not.

The solution to this is to find public domain scores and use your own software to record them.

>>121089387
Good point, thanks for bringing it up.
Do you know any decent software that I might use for this? I only know FL Studio but I'm not sure if it's suited to classical pieces...

Guys, yet I know it would be a pain in the ass to start learning how to make music (via software), I'd like to try. What programs do you guys use to make some cool chiptunes or even not-chip tunes?

Thanks.

The year is 20XX and everything is interfaced into a single master-data network known as ELOHIM.
However now ELOHIM is dying and corrupting the entire world in the process.
Are you a bad enough dude to shut-down ELOHIM before it corrupts the 'World-code' completely, destroying all life as we know it?
Also demons are involved.


Please give some feedback.
I'm also a big fan of black backgrounds with white outlines, so that will probably be prevalent in the game's final art-style.

I make NES style graphics and it still takes time to make. It's not "difficult" I suppose though. You could try making gb style graphics, since it's super low res (16x16) and uses a tiny palette (depending on who you ask 4 colors). I have some artistic skill, though, so your mileage may vary.
If all else fails, do a Space Funeral and call it abstract/dadaist style.

This is amazing.

I was just looking over the last few posts of the old thread and it looks like I missed a few posts about my demo. If you guys are still around...

>121064007
>I like the way your game is shaping up.
Thank you!
>the style of the status windows and whatnot kind of clashes with your custom art
Yeah, I know. I'll be changing the gauges etc. I'm having trouble making a pixel font look good in MV, but I'll definitely be implementing one at some point.
>menu navigation is a bit clunky sometimes (display relevant information whenever possible, and minimize the number of button presses the player has to make for any common choices).
I tried to mitigate this a little using Bobstah's command list plugin (thanks dude) by having some commands sit on the command list without entering a new menu. I'm going to keep experimenting with this definitely.
> Also, I felt the random encounter rate was a little high
That was intentional for the demo. I figured if the encounter rate was low, the player could easily make it to the end without encountering any gameplay. I hate frequent random encs, so I'll be either making it less random or simply lower the rate.

>121064746
> what will you (the dev) do to "reward" the player for the hunts?
Right now, there is a very rudimentary cooking system. There will definitely be more crafting type stuff. I'm not planning on having shops (the gold window in the menu will be removed of course), so this is the only way to get items, aside from minor items like berries.
>Also, will the game keep track of the players' hunts?
I was going to add a bestiary to the demo, but ran out of time (I was gonna post something on sunday even if kills me). It will be added post haste. It would be pretty easy to add a kill count and rewards for it.

>>121094654
Shit, guess I'm fucked.
I'll have to wait until some java wizard makes it for MV.

>>121094881
Agreed. I'm making some sv monsters, now, using the RTP as base. It's pretty hard, to someone who lacks the sense of art (me), but rewarding. I'd be happy if it made me see less RPGM battles with rpgmaker-generated-pixel-art-SD-graphics vs hand-drawn-RTP-graphics.

>>121094881

Have you ever tried Pyxel Edit? Bought it some time ago and find it very cool and useful. Very good interface, though.

>>121098945
>Pyxel Edit
Never tried it, but I'll give it a go.
Aseprite has a pretty poor interface and the file browser is annoying. The only thing that really looks useful is the onion skin tools. Animating in GG is awkward so if Pyxel Edit can do that well, that would be cool.

If I can add anything to the battle commands list to make this a bit easier, please let me know, anon-sama~

Also, in general, I hit a bit of a roadblock with my Battle Commands script. I was working on adding icons to the commands, but the way the actor menu is coded, I'd have to custom-write some stuff for each plugin. I can get icons to show up pretty easily as long as they are manually specified.

Does that sound decent to everyone? I want the perfect solution, but I haven't been able to find one without writing in a bunch of checks for various plugins.

I'm definitely open to suggestions, here.

>>121100881
I'm a little obsessed with icons, so I think it will be (almost) perfect. I even wish there was a way to surpass the icon limit.

Hmm. One thing that would be nice, is for a help window (the one in my pic) for the default skill/magic commands/window. So if I highlighted the skill command that opens up a new menu, I'd see that help window. Did that make sense?
I dunno how difficult/possible that would be, though.

For your icon thing, I'd want to specify them anyway, so that's fine by me.

>>121101779
There's bfxr for 8bit sound effects. You can make some decent sfx with it. Everyone uses it though, so you might get some shit from some people.
Chiptunes however are a pain in the ass. The most intuitive program I've seen is Org Maker. It has a simple piano roll (unlike famitracker), but it's still difficult for anyone who isn't well versed in music. Give it a go and see if you can wrap your head around it.

There is too much forest, like you said,(you usually don't get so many trees on the coast either) it's very linear/claustrophobic and there's not much decoration. It doesn't look very fun to explore.

Some theme, but mostly gameplay. It's an 'alien planet' horror game with lovecraftian/gigerian monsters and is mainly about xenophobia (on both sides) - and whether you're willing to potentially risk life and limb and go the extra mile to try and understand the world or stick to what you know and fight your way out of it.

So basically whether you're more willing to sacrifice your human-ness/life to spare their world or sacrifice their world to spare your human-ness/life. There's other stuff involved but that's the omnipresent theme I wanted it to revolve about.

>>121103467
Nah, I've had this idea for a while now (since '12). I just haven't found a way to make a good run of it yet - Undertale and Soma both indirectly demonstrated some interesting ways to approach things I was having trouble hurdling over in the story and mechanics. Them both being successful does show me there's a potential audience for what I want to make, which is something I was pretty pessimistic about before, and I won't deny it's given me a bit of vigor to give it another shot.

>>121105267

The entire point of H-Game is the GAME part. It's the satisfaction that comes from unlocking the h-scenes.

>>121105363
Which, you know, they do
Even then, if it's played in game it's usually for the purposes of listening to voices, which I'm assuming your "game" isn't going to have

>>121105262
I like it!

Then again I've always wanted to do parallax mapping, but have 0 photo editing skills to make my own, so i'm usually envious of any that aren't tilesets.

Let's not do this again.

>>121104778
If you want an artist, I suggest you make a prototype game and then look for artists.
All the artists worth their salt will already be busy or working on their own projects. If they're going to work with a stranger, they at least need to know they're not wasting their time on someone who's lazy, unreliable or a poor writer/designer. You need some proof that's you're worth working with.
It's a little offensive to barge into a thread as a nobody (so far as we know) and ask someone to make your art. A lot of us are struggling to make our own games, so even if we have the skills, we'd need a real incentive to work on someone else's game.
The great thing about rpgmaker is that anyone can use it and make something. Most artist could make their own game on their lonesome if they wanted to, thanks to these easy to use game engines. Why should they work with you?

>>121105363
Exactly. People like the interactivity that games give you and it makes porn more involved/exciting. Why else would MaidenSnow Eve, Rance and Violated Heroine be popular?

>>121105293
Ohh, I see. I got google hits for anticlockwise and counter clockwise, so maybe it's a regional thing. I'll fix it.

>>121105714

When his only pitch to recruiting an artist was:
>Any artist interested in working on a porn game?
>I'll take care of everything but the art.
As far as any rational person can assume, he has nothing to contribute. If you do, then you should prove it.
And you can make a prototype without the hanky panky cgs. This guy has no excuse.

>>121106876

>>121107219
Here's the thing, if you don't have good art, unless you make something completely revolutionary gameplay-wise (which let's not kid ourselves here, you won't), then there's no draw to it
People there to fap aren't going to care about the gameplay and the bad or non-existent art won't keep them, and people there for the gameplay won't stay because if it's just generic RPG Maker stuff why even bother? Either that or they just don't care for the sex stuff, dunno

>>121106725
Okay, I'll do your art.

What, you want to see what my art is like first? Are you accusing me of being some kind of art idea game? Wow, the definition for art ideas guys is changing too fast!
Yes I am mad.

Also, rpgm is dead easy to make a game in. Making a game in rpgm is not an awesome skill. I did some very extensive eventing for my game, that a total newbie would be daunted by and it's still something that would be easy to learn. So, off the bat, we can say the only thing you are bringing is an idea and writing.
What's your writing like? What's your game design like? Can you write ruby or javascript? Have you finished a game before? Even just a demo?

We had someone like you a few months ago. He said he had an extensive story ready to turn into a game. He had recruited someone in collage to adapt some of it into a comic, but that didn't work out, so he asked here. We NEVER saw how good his writing was. We NEVER saw how good his game design was. He said he worked on it for YEARS and yet he had no portfolio or pitch to show us.
This is what you sound like. Would you work with this person? If you would, you've either never tried to work with someone on a serious project before and had them balk out or you're trusting to a fault.

>>121107219
For a hentai game, it is very fucking important. Would you play a porn game without good art?

>>121107013
The art is the time consuming part and where 90% of the effort will be into any H-game. And using RPG maker to tie it all together isn't exactly rocket science and does the vast majority of the remaining 10% for you.

>>121107542
>We NEVER saw how good his writing was
I know exactly who you're talking about and he did actually post his writing. It was about some chick living in a world without violent/sexual media, and it was pretty decent

>>121107542
See this is the thing, you guys instantly assume he had nothing to show for it. If I was going to work with an artist, I'd get in contact with them, and ask/talk to them about it. For all we know the guy has several games to show off.

>>121102587

>>121107968
> If I was going to work with an artist, I'd get in contact with them, and ask/talk to them about it.
>I'd get in contact with them
Isn't that what he's doing right now? He's trying to contact an artist in this thread? Asking in a thread is different to directly contacting someone. And if you were directly contacting someone, you'd still show them some of your work in that first message/email.

>>121108189
>Really? I must have missed it. What was his actual writing like? I mean, skill wise? Not his idea. This is what's important.
That's what I was commenting on, I actually didn't care for the idea, but the writing was solid. Not amazing, but far from bad.

>>121108272
Fair enough then. But he wasn't writing a book, so he still needed to show more.

That said, I did toy around with making some stuff inspired with a more whimsical EB/OFF-y style. It wasn't very good though - even if I did try to make it look Earthbound-y it'd probably just wind up looking weird and not scary rather than lovecraftian/gigerian.

>>121109721
Why didn't you post that in the first place?
Now ask again and say that you have an example of your work. Also, some sort of pitch?
Imagine you're emailing some artist you like and you really want them to work on a game with you. How would you compose that email to get their attention?
You wouldn't get much interest if you just say, "Make my art, I'm really good at game dev".

By the way, I was looking at the last thread and I think someone did reply to you. Post# 121045741? Maybe ask if they're still interested?

We did get in contact, unfortunately our taste didn't mix together well.

Also the basic premises I had in mind was you play out the dreams of a sexually frustrated girl, you'd choose what book to read each night, then you'd have a dream based on the book.

How to start a cutscene with a blacked out screen that fades into the scene?

>>121110580
>Because I have low self esteem and I rather exchange info through private emails.
Me, too. But you still need something to show to get interest, before you can get to that point.
You must understand what I'm getting at, right?
Also, don't call me an idiot, I'm only giving you advice so your game actually gets made. I can see you're not just an idea guy. If you recruit again, remember to show what you have and you'll get positive replies.

>>121110776
I'm assuming you don't want the player to be visible? I'd do it like this:
>Make blank map
>Fade out screen
>Transfer to blank map
>Set player as transparent
>Fade in screen
>(cutscene ensues)
>Fade out screen
>Unset player transparency
>Transfer to the map you want to fade into

It also lets you bypass the size limit back to VX' sizes. You just cant go into the properties of the map anymore once its in MV.

If you don't want that split second before it tints, do the same thing mentioned here >>121111238 to hide the player transparent event.

>Fade in

>>121109529
It's only as little as $1. Surprised it hasn't been posted yet.

>>121113548

you could also just have it to where the hero sprite isn't even set until after the cutscene starts, and then set it up later with an event

>>121113673
If it's the first cutscene, yeah. The guy asking didn't say whether it was the opening cutscene or not, but if it was the opening, you'd want to tick the player transparent box in the in the database so you don't have to discretely hide it, rather than go through the method I posted.

Holy shit.

This one's been busting my head.

I'm trying to make an adventure game where the player has 4 options of interaction:

1. Generic Interaction
This is the action button push and does pretty much all interactions in the game like opening doors or picking up items (or stabbing people).

2. Chat
Accesses the dialogue trees.

3. Gamble
Challenges NPCs for a game of dice.

4. Seduce
Try to seduce the NPC into giving information or following the player.

Different NPCs will react differently, for example most females NPCs will not gamble and married NPCs will become offended (or not!) if you try to seduce them.

Now, I don't know what's the best way to do it. Should I create all possible dialogue trees inside each event-npc or what?

Also, how do I disable the Menu since I won't be using the RPG parts?

>>121115658
That being said, they weren't good at what they were supposed to do. I'd use a script to change the font size down a couple of points so it would be more accurate.

>>121111570

>>121115797
>Now, I don't know what's the best way to do it. Should I create all possible dialogue trees inside each event-npc or what?
I dunno. Easiest way would just be a choice option with 4 branches then go from there.

>Also, how do I disable the Menu since I won't be using the RPG parts?
I don't know about MV, but in Ace it's in the Database options.

>>121114968

>>121115797
If you want to be that in depth, probably go include the 4 choices in all the events you can talk to.

"Show choice" can already display 4 choices and allows for cancel to back you out of it.

For the menu, you can have an autorun event at the very start that disables opening the menu.

This is what's available to you in VX Ace, but it's should be something that's in most versions of RPG Maker.

>Why do I need to have it present even on cutscenes?
Don't? Turn the player invisible, remove their movement, and make an event act as the player.

You have a classic example of the beginner's mistake for event triggers. Which version are you using and what are you trying to do?

Cutscene: You could just have the entire cutscene be directed by one event. An event can have other events move and act without switching between events.

If it's a bit more complex than that, feel free to explain.

Basically, the version of MV downloaded from the rpgmweb site had a "special" folder packaged with it. It has some kinda odd stuff in it, including ecchi vn style pictures. Turns out, this folder was added by Kadokawa last minute, so it's kind of not supposed to be there. The assets inside are from other Kadokawa properties, so I dunno what kind of license they fall under. There's the aforementioned ecchi folder, a folder of scifi/robot stuff and some vn style backgrounds. Some of them could be kinda useful. But again, I've no idea if it falls under the rpgm license.

I heard that it came with a music folder too, but the original uploader never followed through on their promise to put that up, as far as I know. If anyone has access to that and feels like uploading it, I'd appreciate it.

Really? I didn't know that. If anyone has it, it'd be nice to have.

Woulda been interesting if they kept those, but I suspect it might be a license thing.

They weren't illegally added, they just weren't meant to be there. If you look at that forum link, the mod at the end says that they'll keep the assets available.
It's more that the half-naked ladies aren't really appropriate for a product aimed at all-ages.

Can an event trigger another event's self-switch?

>>121125408
In the base engine? No. Which rpgm are you using? There might be a script workaround.

>>121125408
If you're talking about the player triggering it, there's a script for that already.

Some late night sketching of Yroth.
Also did an Undertale version of him just for shits and giggles - it probably wouldn't make the cut.

So, what would make and keep battles interesting in a game where levels and stuff aren't a thing? I'm trying to figure out what kind of battle system would be the best for that kind of thing, so I'd like your opinions on it.

>>121128051
I'd make the combats puzzles of some sort. If you're expecting the player to use their noggin more than their stats, give them something for their noggin to work on in-combat.

>>121128167
Would a distance system make it a bit more interesting, kind of like the one from that Jojo fan game?

>>121101767
To see if I understand it properly, you want a help window to appear when selecting a skill type in addition to a skill?

>>121128348
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. I couldn't think of the proper term.

>>121128667

I decided to go for a bigger resolution for my game, but the skill windows became too wide for my tastes. So I fiddled around with the skill selection menu.

I have to say, it feels easier to change things in MV than VXAce, but maybe that's just me.

How do i tell Photoshop to paste the entire 48x48 tile instead of only the visible pixel bounding box. Its a fucking nightmare placing them back in properly when i try to remix sets.
Is there other programs that can do it better?
I've tried some other programs (e.g. Graphics Gale) but that has problems carryng over the transparency from tiles.

Reuploading a fixed version, seems like a file was lost in the compression.
>>121130640
Yep.

>>121131940
Photoshop won't get the transparent part because it reads it as empty. Try putting a white background underneath, and when you copy/cut the image, select the layer of what you're copying and ctrl+click on the white background layer too.

That would take the white background too. Just remove it afterwards.

So
Put white background underneath > marquee tool the area you want to copy > (make sure you're on the layer it's in) > ctrl+click the white background layer >ctrl +c/ctrl+x > paste > remove white background.

How hard would it be to convert 2000/2003 resources to use in MV? Would it look screwy because of the resolution differences?

Still trying to get used to working with MV sprites.
How is it?

>>121137797
Looks okay. Feel like it's missing something though. Maybe an outline?

How big do you make your overworlds? How many tiles?

>>121134080
Not really. There are converters to align XP and 300X graphics to ace specifications, MV uses the same layouts. You don't need to worry about resizing either, since 200X is 16x16 and MV is 48x48 you can resize it by 2n and it won't be messed up. In fact, you would have a harder time with ace resources, because it uses 32x32 and you can't resize that to 48x48 using 2n.

>>121134870
You mean Fate/Stay Night? Have you played Fate/Extra? I think that battle system gets across the servants concept in a novel way. It would be cool to adapt that into rpgm somehow.

>>121137871
Darkened the outline a bit, is this better?

>>121134870
Anything but Extra's system.
A modified version of GO could be nice.

>>121138164
Yeah a bit better. Though, now that I look at it again, it almost looks like the coat is too big for him, since it looks like it's touching the floor. Not sure if that's intended.

>>121138265
Aren't lab coats usually full-length?

>>121138631
They don't touch the floor, though.

>>121138664
I get that, but it's hard to convey a few centimetres in such a small sprite. Moving it up 1 pixel just looks awkward, and any more makes it too short.

>>121138631
Lab coats are more like 1/4 length, like a trenchcoat. Like that other anon said, it looks like the coat is too big for him.

>>121138241
>Anything but Extra's system.
Why didn't you like Extra's battles? They were gimmicky and could be broken with a bit of memorization, but I don't think it's a bad concept.

In MV, is there any way(or a plugin if there isn't) to make a skill be selectable from the same menu as attack and items and the like?

>>121139938
Yep, look for the battle commands plugin.

It's rock-paper-scissors. Over and over again. That is not a good combat system.

>>121140013
I think it looks better, though maybe the shading could use a bit more work if you want to put more time into it. It's fine as is though.

>>121140470
Coolio, thanks. I'll stop for now and come back with fresh eyes.

>>121140013
This looks great. I'd stop fussing over it and get on with the rest of your game.

>>121137974
The only game with an overworld I have made was 500tilesx500tiles. That said, that game was never completed past the first continent.

>>121137974
I don't do world maps. Even if I were making a traditional rpg, I'd still use some sort of map/travel system. Unless your game has an epic theme, I don't think it's necessary. Although, I'd love to hear why people like them.

Ok. A couple months ago I came up with the "foreshadowed battle encounter" system, that was supposed to make Random Encounters more spoopy and encourage switching your battle party and equipment around in order to fight the incoming enemies.

Basically, the way it worked was:
Walking around. Encounter is triggered and the incoming enemies are determined.
Player hears a sound that identifies the enemy. So water splashing=slime, rat screeching=duh, etc.
Player walks a bit longer. Number of steps depends on the type of incoming enemy, but generally averages about 5 steps.
Battle processing.
Players can escape the encounter by going to a different map or hiding to "safe spots" in the map. Haven't decided whether they should be "uncorrupted/sacred areas" or just environment objects like big bushes and rocks.

I am testing it right now (in the Clown game some of you might have seen me writing about) using the Terrain Event plug in and a bunch of events and it really is playing out as just pretty much random encounters.

What else could be added to this system to make it interesting?

>>121144368
I think it's ready. It's very cool.

>>121136023
I will be interested.

>>121145860
What triggers me the most is that it's for VX ACE. You don't simply resize 32x32 to 48x48.

On the other hand MV already have sci-fi tiles from the get-go.

>>121136023
Excuse my ignorance, but what utility would this add?
