some progress

Anyone remember a 2014 indie entry game called "Trapped"? I'm trying to find the creator's name but can't seem to find anything.

Furthermore, has anyone actually gotten to the "end" of the game without glitches?

Ah, I played that one. I was enjoying the hell out of it, but never made it to the end because of glitches.

I loved that the enemies had vague names like "rubbery thing." It really grounded things. What a cool game.

Anyway, I don't know anything about the creator. Sorry.

I know this is kind of a bad thing to ask, but do any of you guys know any commercial games or places that have sprites I can use as side view battlers for my enemies?

I'm just making a silly game with my friends as main characters to learn my way around MV.

>>134925513
Agreed. Probably one of the few indie RPG games I've enjoyed because of the insane things you could pull off like releasing the psycho scissor lady in addition to basic music that fit the mood.

a knight and his childhood friend, a rogue, get involved with demons and shit invading their nice rural countryside looking for shit, meet a mage and a cleric and a bunch of other party members, go on wacky adventures, save the world from the demons, etc, pretty generic really
we haven't really fleshed out the details of the plot yet though, primary focus at this point is just art and figuring out if what we want from gameplay is feasible in rpgmaker

It's up to you, really. Whether a game is serious or not isn't really indicative of its quality.

>>134966167
Honestly a silly one may be more fun to make and easier if it's your first attempt. It'll be less grueling to plan out a story if you're just bs'ing and having fun with it.

I don't trust my own abilitites to write a serious plot so I just went with something that doesn't take itself very seriously, but at the same time tries to follow a solid cohesive plot.

>>134968274
> something that doesn't take itself very seriously, but at the same time tries to follow a solid cohesive plot

Honestly I think this is the best route, nowadays there are too many indie games that try too hard to be deep and serious.

Can I use static images as side view sprites? I dont want the animations, just one big picture.

>>134966167
Sillies are easier to make.

But I prefer serious ones.

>>134972351
I would only classify something as an "undertale clone" if it actually reused plot points from it, and it was blatantly obvious.

4th wall shit being prevalent, a race being a bunch of dindu nuffin, a guy who don't want to do what he has to do, a story about escaping from a place, an analogue to DETERMINATION, etc etc.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't be allow to use said elements, but you have to avoid making it obvious, and make it a lot more different.

I ran a tabletop campaign with a power source that had SOME similar effects to Determination, but even then it was a far call. The game was released after my campaign had been over for a while, and now I wanted to try reusing some of the characters and the story in my campaign, but I feel like I'd probably get "lol it's determination xD" comments on it.

Kind of off topic but is there anything an ipad can do that a pc can't? I was kind of forced to be given one that I didnt want and I was just wondering if I could actually use it for something.

>>134980426

The way I see it, you pretty much use them the same way you'd use a laptop. I guess with the "bonus" of having a touch-based interface.

If nothing else, you can use it to play Puzzle and Dragons.

Finished my first dungeon yesterday, at least for the time being. I'm worried that it might be too boring, as it's only four rooms big two of which have no random encounters (one has a cutscene and the other has the boss). Similarly, I'm also worried about it being too challenging, since it's possibly the player's first time in action during the game. I'm also not sure how to make the boss a good challenge either, since at that point the character doesn't have any healing spells and only has one potion. I put a full restore at the end of the dungeon, hopefully that's not overkill.

I don't know what it is about Young Thug but he's really motivating me to keep working on this game.

>>134980426

In all serious, though, I have to assume that while there's a lot you can do on an ipad that you can do on a pc, most design stuff is best done on an actual computer, since there you have a mouse/an actual keyboard and the like.

Is there an event or a plugin that lets me to change the names of Types?

MV.

Is there a way to easy make an idle animation, like the ones that runs if the player doesnt input any command after x seconds?

>>134982673
Needs more rooms. Give players a sense of exploration.

>>134983446
Probably not any easy ways without a plugin.

In MV, I think Quasi Movement and Sprites allow your characters to have idle wait frames.

>>134983171

What exactly do you mean? Can't you just use the types tab?

>>134983579
I agree, but I don't just want the player to get their shit completely wrecked, especially considering there's no save point until the end of the dungeon and a death takes you back through two big cutscenes. Hmm, tricky decisions to make.

In VX Ace, can I somehow limit a random NPCs movement to a specific area?
For instance, I created an event, which is just a random townsfolk and I just want them to walk around town, but not through out the entire town, but only in a small portion of it. Can I somehow do this?

>>134983746
I mean during the game.

For example, is there a way to change the names of Elemental Attributes or States, so that the player were to discover them during the game's progress, instead of finding out what all of them are called in the Status window?

>Antagonist's worldview and actions make them the enemy of the protagonist
>However if they were hypothetically in control of things, they'd actually be a better ruler of the game-world than the current one, it's just that they're more dedicated to toying with the protagonist than taking over the world because they realized long ago that it's essentially impossible for them or anyone else to take over, their only attempt is a token one to further toy with the protag further.
>Basically two stories loosely tied together (Protag vs Antag, Protag 'saves' the world.) with one ending in success of sorts and one ending with things not better nor worse than they were at the start.

I'm using this script for pixel perfect collision for characters chasing me because the one in RPG maker detects if you're either moving while touching an event or if you walk into it, but not whenever it touches you.

http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/34975-cidiomars-perfect-pixel-collision/

I'm using making the event a paralllel process and running and if there's a collision between the event and the player and it works.

However it takes a bit to react, like half a second, which is too much since I let my character sprint. The player is 2 spaces away after collision and it just looks wrong. Any ways to either make this smoother?

>>135023371
Scaling enemies is kind of tricky. You don't want your player to feel like they're not getting any stronger throughout the game. Unless it goes along with the story, it'd be weird that the entire world grows stronger right along with you. I'd say avoid it.

How can I fix this issue with events constantly being rendered on top of other objects? Do I have to draw that or can I just use some sort of setting to tell these events to get rendered before the stall?

>>135054716

Nobody is naturally good at making sprites. Only way to get good is to practice. If your first ones are so bad you don't even want to look at them, that just means you're one bad sprite closer to making good ones.

>>135056638
Flag those counters as... well, counters, in your tileset settings. Make sure the events are set to same as player too.

>>135057113
Tried flagging those as counters and the events are still being drawn on top. And yeah, the event priority is set to the same as characters.

I'm trying to decide what to do here: Do you people preffer games with lots of debuffs/status effects or do you preffer to have a limited number of them to use or worry about?

>>135057669
How's the passability set for those stands in general? You could set the front as star passability and then block them off with invisible events to make sure a player doesn't wander into them

>>135057887
I like lots of status as long as they're all useful at least occasionally
balancing status is kind of tricky, though, it shows with how many games just make bosses immune to almost everything

Well, the PoV is through the eyes of a girl who lost nearly everyone important to her due to a particular group killin'em.

So not only is she mad, but she's also as snarky as she used to be before it happened, explaining the descriptions.

I'm pretty new at this, so forgive the kind of stupid question:

In MV, what would be the best way to make a song start playing when someone uses a skill? Common events?

If it makes any difference, there would be multiple skills/songs pairings.

It didn't die while I was asleep, remarkable!

>>135063408
Hm. I'd probably shoot for a common event. You could rig up a script to do it as well via notetags or whatev.

>>134980426
Only multi-touch comes to mind, assuming you mean a PC with just a mouse and keyboard.

>>135059415
>>135062475
Doing it like that adds personality to the character. It's a neat narrative device in games. Off the top of my head I remember Ghost Trick using it.

Should I keep using VX Ace or use MV for a new project? MV runs like ass on my laptop but it seems better.

>>135065248
Yeah, that seems to work. thanks. The song only starts playing after the animation, but I can work around that.

Would it be possible to make one common event to handle all the skill/song combinations or would I have to make one for each?

In VXA there's scripts to make common events play before the attack, maybe there's something like that for MV. Oh yeah, as someone who uses common events on attacks a lot, I recommend making a conditional branch to make sure you are in battle, otherwise the common events end up playing outside of battle if the battle ends during the attack portion. Or at least that's the case in VXA.

Probably hard to do it in a single CE since you'll need ways to flag the skill so that a CE can check which one you used. I.E. you would have to give the actor a different state for each song, then have the combination CE check which state the actor has to know what combination to use. Maybe there's some combo attacks plugin that would make it easier.

>>135072909

I actually bothered to look at Yanfly's scripts and his Action Sequence Pack 1 has a command to have a song play before an action. Much easier than dealing with multiple events.

Thanks for the help anyway!

>>135073697
I just want to start something new for once.

>>135074952
It's better if you go for MV then. You can even have people play your RPG on an mobile, which will make it more accesible and more played.

How can I make a enemy attack that only target one actor everytime it's used?

It cause a state that only one actor is vulnerable to, so I could potentially make it Hit All and make everyone else 100% resistant to the state, but I wonder if there's not a way to make an attack only hit one character.

>>135077718
I'm not quite clear on what you mean, could you restate that? You can't just make an attack a single target?

>>135078981
Say you have an actor that is vulnerable to, like poison.

EVERY other actor is immune to it, however.

How can I make it so that one enemy can use an attack that deals poison, but that everytime it use it, it will only target the actor that CAN be affected by poison, and never target the actors that are immune?

How do I make a fake death screen?

>>135079391
fade to black, start the gameover music, import the gameover graphic into your pictures and display it as a picture before fading back in?

>>135079172
Why would you dick over the players like that? Assuming it's some random, dumb monster, of course.
Otherwise, I'd imagine:
If
PoisonAttackPotential == False ##The game has not yet found if a member of the party is vulnerable
Then
PartyList = Get.PartyID ##Places the ID for the current party characters into a vector
PoisonVulnerable = Var(PartyList) ##Creates a vector with either 0 (false) or 1 (true) if the character is vulnerable to poison. Use whatever you used to denote this in character creation.
If
Sum(PoisonVulnerable) == 0 ##Checks if any member of the party has poison vulnerability
Then
function getAllIndexes(PoisonVulnerable, 1) {
var indexes = [], i = -1;
while ((i = arr.indexOf(0, i+1)) != -1){
indexes.push(i);
}
}
var PoisonTargets = PartyList(indexes) ##You now have a vector of all characters in the current battle that are vulnerable to poison
PoisonAttackCheck = True ## Ends the loop

There's more you can do but I'm fucking tired right now.

>>135088692
The worst is when there is a script with a glaring game-breaking bug, but in the forums everyone just says "great script!" showing they didn't even try it out.

There was an anon a few threads back with a problem like that. In a fresh project, script would cause the game to crash whenever you killed an enemy. Turns out there was a missing "!" in one of the conditional statements...

>>135089149
really ought to check what they're scripting and base their test cases on that.

How do you design your maps?

Do you draw them out beforehand, or just play around with the RPGMaker editor until you've got something you enjoy?

>>135094187
Playing with editor till I like it

>>135094187
Depends on the type of map. Sometimes I just come up with a theme and build around that, othertimes I'm building around a puzzle, and other times I just mess around until I get something that 'feels right'.

>>135094187
Depends, on rpgmaker 2k3, i planned my maps on mainly on how they were interconnected. I was inspired by Paper Mario 64 on the map design, simple routes with loads of crossroads and new abilities to unlock more paths.

Now i just fiddle with the map editor until I find something that looks cool.

Usually, my areas have a central "point." Like in a city, town hall. I figure out where on the map I want that to be, then build everything up around it.

>>135094187
I give it a reasonable size first, then the more treasures I want there to be in it, the bigger I make the map. in 60x60 maps I got 10 treasures, so it's worth it exploring

>>135094187
Dungeons I kinda do taking inspiration from others. Mostly NES RPG Dungeons since that's what most of my games' difficulty level is at.

Towns and such though, I try to think of how the town began, and what role it plays. If it's a coastal city, everything begins with the sea port, so most of the larger buildings and the inns and such are near the seaport because that's where the workers would have stayed when they were building it.
Basically figure out what was built 'first' and then organically build the city from there deciding what was needed next, etc

Looking great as always. How evil are you planning on making them? Having a well-written antagonist is just as important as having a well-written protagonist, after all.

Do you make puzzles often? How do you plan them? Inspiration from another you've seen before? You make it around a script/plugin you found? You had the idea of it before? How did you come to that idea?

>>135103565

Even though I played about half of the professor Layton games and have watched a good chunk of detective Conan, coming up with good puzzles, tricks, and mysteries still completely eludes me. Damn shame.

I usually just focus on making my areas interesting to make to for it.

>>135103912
I have to throw some once in a while so it's not just walk from A to point B with random encounters in between

>>135104024

Well, of course even I can come up with basic stuff like sliding block puzzles, "go here and press a button to open a door elsewhere" etc, but that always feels kind of pointless to me, since I always fully explore dungeons anyway.

Is there a way to replace the "no damage" message based on the attack used by the enemy (and ideally without scripting)?

Let's say for silly example purposes:
[Enemy] hit player with a fish!...There was no effect on player! > [Enemy] hit player with a fish... There's something fishy about [enemy]!

>>135104394
I put alot of treasure for exploration but even then I know some people will not care, usually those who don't play many RPGs so I have to take everyone into account.

>>135103912
I tend to make overcomplex/overclever puzzles so I often have to spend time refining the idea into its simplest form. I feel like the best puzzles are obvious once you 'speak the language'. The more 'busywork' puzzles like pushblock puzzles and the like I'm not a huge fan of because they feel like I'm just putting them in to make sure the player spends time doing some menial labor rather than advancing the plot to pad my playtime.

Anyway, here's me creating and tweaking one of my older puzzles. Maybe it'll inspire you?

They're not necessarily evil, just working for the villain that's all.
The game itself will be separated into chapters like Paper Mario, and one of the requirements for the good ending is to befriend them all once their chapter ends to make them like Earth enough to defect from the big bad ( all of the villains are aliens )

Stressing out about what scripts to take or trying to use them all will basically just lead to inaction so work on the game first, then grab a script when you need it to do something.

It's me again. I gave up on being original, at least for now. I have an almost complete sv_battler sheet for the last (right-most) attempt in less than 1/10 of the time "lost" through all the tries.

Chose a relatively famous DB32 color palette (instead of trying to learn color theory 101) and will keep the FE sprite for consistency and easiness of frankenspriting.

Curious on how well RPG Maker MV handles Low Stat numbers, like Mario RPG style.
If not well and there's no plug-in for it, is there something that explains the damage algorithms and stuff?

I bet you thought when you convinced an enemy to join you that those of the same type would all share dialogue. You thought wrong.

This is the most exciting and challenging part of my entire game to include. A dynamic, background-supported personality system. It was the very first thing I had planned when deciding what game to make, before I knew anything else about it.

>>135036841
I would suggest cutting that entirely and make it its own loop or a MSE that play's before the actual battle starts.

>>135120095
Nope.

>open in audacity
>create bookmarks at the beginning and end of the part you want to loop

>finally, export the whole track in .OGG format

Depending on how accurate you were in your selection, the song should loop perfectly as a BGM. Unfortunately MEs do not loop.

You write your own damage formulas, and changing the other formulas (like how speed/luck works) are some of the easiest kinds of scripts to make.

In short, it's simple.

Depends. How much experience do you have with RPGM?

What are some good alternatives to common status effects?

Poison doesn't exist in my game, and I replaced it with an Infected state, which deal less damage per turn than Bleeding.

Crippled reduce Agility and Defense, Armor Break also reduce Defense but by a higher percentage than Crippled. Crying prevent a character from moving for a few turns but can be stopped by using the Slap skill on the crying character.

My game will probably have a Selfless/Soulless ailment, that pretty much prevents your character to use any skills and disactivates abilities. It will be a pretty big deal in my game and you can probably only heal it with an item.

It's one of those "oh shit no you didn't" asshole enemies.

>>135157374
Funnily enough, speaking of asshole enemies, the Crying state only work on one character, who lost nearly everything.

The only way it can be inflicted is with the Insult/Taunt skill, which is exclusive to the enemy.

They're actual assholes.

>>135156928
try making effects contextually if you want some unique things
like, design a weapon, player, or enemy, and give them appropriate status
that said, most things have been done in some shape or form, looking up obscure status from older games on wikis or some site

I think the only really unique status I have is a buff called Lion's Share, which make the tank with the skill take half the total damage of an AoE on your 4 or 5 man party

How can I remove the TP bars from the menu screen? I tried checking the main plugins but couldn't find the appropriate sections.

How the hell do you make it so that when using the action sequence plugin, if an enemy dies in the middle of a combo attack, you don't perform the following hits? You would think it wouldn't be that hard to alter the death break action so that it counts for enemies as well.

That game's combat is a lot better than it gets credit for, once it finally opens up and lets you play it. I think if they hadn't labeled the fight command "autobattle" it wouldn't have scared people off so badly. The game really is more about switching stances than choosing attacks, and it was fun as hell imo.

Oh well, I guess that's a nice change from the usual jack of all trades.

Granted, she's also the only one who can use a bullshit power source allowing her to get two exclusive buff and a party wide heal at the moment, so it's not all bad.

Good work. You're improving pretty fast, I'd say.

17's animation looks a bit odd to me, but it'd probably look better immobile, like you said. Just give the condition an animated ZZZ effect or something to differentiate it from death and it should be good.

10-12 look kind of weird to me too. Maybe if you change the arm in the middle frame so it's a blur, it would look more like he's tossing an item into the air? That might look better. I dunno. I think other Fire Emblem sprites might have frames you can use as a reference for motion blur, but the only ones I can remember are the weapon-spinning critical animations.

>>135211852
The very top of the tree almost makes it look like it's... leaning back, to me? What with more of it being on the right side, if that makes sense. Maybe that's just me. It's good other than that, though.

>>135222217
>I will, one day, make a lewd game in RPG Maker. But at the time I think I will use TP (or MP) as Lust and call defeat when Lust = 100.
I was thinking of doing something like that too, only the purpose of raising an enemy's TP to 100 would be to make them orgasm, reducing their HP, or stamina. The goal being to exhaust them before they do the same to you.

But I've been hesitating to get a start on it, since I'm not sure how to alter the battle system to that degree, and I'm not sure if it would even be a good system once it's finished. It might be a lot of work for nothing, so maybe it would be better to go for a simpler route with my game... or maybe that's just an excuse to be lazy.

>realize my idea for a story is reasonably sound, but since it wasn't originally conceived as an RPG it's remarkably linear and very obviously so.
not sure if i should go back and rework things to be more open/explore-y or just accept my lot and press on.

>>135227130
Many good RPGs are linear. The very first ones were linear as hell. Didn't stop Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy from getting popular.

Hi /rpgmg/
Just made my first custom background. What do you think?
This is where the character wakes up (he's a robot) (not the one on the hook)

>>135235437
I can't really see much of anything. I know it's meant to be a dark room, but lighten up the shadows a bit.

>>135227575

Were they? I remember the first Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy being somewhat open; there was an order you were expected to do things, but they gave you room to explore and figure out where to go next, I thought. It's been a while since I played them, though.

But anyway, I agree. Linear isn't necessarily bad. Just... don't do FFXIII: Hallway Simulator levels of linear without good reason.

Not the same anon, but that looks better to me. I thought the original had too much contrast between the light and shadows, which made it hard to make out much detail.

>>135236326
Pretty good, I like everything except for the rusted metal wall. There is some mixels going on between that and the rest of the picture.

>>135239301
How about now?

>>135188923
Yeah, it's a stance dancing game. You have 6 roles (stances) that you switch between and each one does a different, very specific thing.

Commando - Deals non-elemental physical and magical damage and maintains the Stagger meter's level (it's a thing that will cause the enemy to stagger if you max it out, leaving them more vulnerable).

Ravager - Does elemental physical and magical damage and raises the Stagger meter (however if you do not supplement it with Commando attacks, the meter will drain away quickly).

Medic - Heals shit. Can't attack in any way.

Synergist - Casts buffs on allies. Can't attack in any way.

Saboteur - Casts debuffs on enemies. Debuffs also do damage.

>>135239968
Its still mixels. On the wall, every pixel = 6 regular pixels in the image. It is also a clash of style. Did you make it yourself? I think you should maybe try to remake it in the same style/method as the other assets you made (they're good!)

>>135241494
Oops, forgot one.

Sentinel - Tanks stuff. Aggros enemies, etc. Can't attack in any way (but can learn to counterattack).

Honestly, no, I took a texture for a metal wall and resized it. How about this, though?

>>135242701
It's a little basic and untextured, but it works A LOT better than what you had before. Now, your pixels are all the same ratio and the graphics look consistent. Much better.

It's a bit dark, and needs your details, but you shouldn't give up on the rust! I liked it :)

>>135244236
Just messing around with different brushes in photoshop for about 5 mins. The more you work on stuff like this, the easier it gets and the more you figure out little tricks.

Ah, I really should get something like that, I've only been using paint.net

Also, are people gonna call this a LISA ripoff? Doing a 2D game in RPGM is a genre, right?

>>135244839
Who gives a fuck? make your game. Everything is inspired by other things, Lisa ripped off super mario world 2. Just make what you want to make, it's a waste of energy to think about such matters. IMO, that energy could be spent making the game.

Hell, Undertale is widly popular and it borrowed a TON from Earthbound.

>>135244957
I didn't say I wasn't gonna do it, I was asking you if people would immediately draw a comparison to LISA. But thanks for not saying it's shit, btw.

Yes, desu.

>>135244839
Anyone who knows about LISA
Namely because the art style is also really similar, complete with the wasteland aesthetic.
But execution is more important than originality in RPGs, to an extent. I wouldn't be pissed by the LISA similarities and I'd care even less if you were tasteful with this and tried to be somewhat original.
If there's a drug called Glee or something that overt I'd close out the window and get your game off my hard drive.

>>135251331
Don't worry, it's gonna be very different.
For starters, all the humans are gone.

>>135253536
>/m/ world
Not my thing but I plan to try any /rpgmg/ game that gets completed so best of luck. Who knows, I might like it anyway, somehow Xenoblade appealed to me.

This has probably been asked a million times already but is there any reason for me to use MV if I don't care about mobile? VXA seems way more appealing just based on the sheer volume of tutorials and scripts out there (in particular MV seems to have fuck all when it comes to useful documentation for plugins, and there aren't any tutorials out there that I could find). Hell, all the discussion on here seems VXA centered for that matter.

>>135253664
I, for one, would convert to MV fulltime if someone would crack the 1.1 update with that sexy resource manager
If you don't mind manually putting shit in or paying for the damn product I'd still suggest MV, otherwise VXA certainly has its advantages, and you pretty much said them all.

>>135253536
Sounds like LISA

I buy it
I mean if robots take over wouldn't they make everything better? Unless their intelligence is made human-like they're destined to fuck up less than us because they don't take as much to maintain and they'd probably be less greedy.

>>135255038
They would only make it better for themselves

>>135255874
...they're all that's left, who cares?

>>135256092
Certainly not the humans, that's for sure.

In a 2 person party, how does it sound to have one party member be basically relegated to support because they can't directly attack the enemy "dark monster things" while the other party member can?

Does it sound too annoying? I'm afraid the support character will become boring to play as. (thinking of using CTB for this)

>>135257020
but they're all gone >>135253536

>>135257425
Wait I misread I thought you were implying there was some human versus robot conflict going on

How hard would it be to make a piece of equipment recover an actors hp on a kill? (The ring of evil eye in dark souls is an example, using VX ace btw)

>>135257180
Why not change the support role? Against one type of enemy A attacks and B supports, and against other type of enemy B attacks and A supports.

>>135225460
(About the FE rip) Thank you. I just don't known if I keep the FE rips until game is finished before improving on it or if I keep focused on art. (I'm waiting Yanfly equip skills).
