It's only missing the water. Your map's pretty comfy, though.

What do you think will be the main demographic of your game?

>>144196571

People who like shitty games.

What would be the best way to have an upgradeable town?
Should I just change the map every time? I'd have to make hundreds of maps for every possible combination.

>>144198929
Parallax mapping probably, I mean you COULD make tons of the same maps with minor upgrades but just changing the parallax would me better.

>>144198929
One way that folks never seem to mention (this has come up several times before) is just covering up the buildings, then removing the cover once it's fixed. Put the pretty-looking building on the map, then put an event over it with the graphic of a trashy-looking building. Or even no building. Or even both, on different pages. Then just change a var or switch tied to the pages and poof, new building.

>>144196571
Me.

>>144198929
You can:
Make multiple maps
Add parallaxes to hide buildings.
Change tilesets

I don't think there are other options.

>>144201091
Oh. And I guess you could make groups of events that re-position themselves around the map.

>>144198929
Have a few spots with events that change from something like windows have boards with nails > Normal > pretty flowers
And so on.

You could also have a section of the map inaccessible until you get to a certain point, too. Like fence off an area where more people move in later.

>>144176037
Your map doesn't seem to have any focal point or direction. You could move the hill by the entrance right so it's more over the edge of the map, and connect more of the grass patches so they're not like a million little patches of woods.

Can I mix multiple VX and MV tilesets in one map using the TileD plugin? Can it create pixel-based collision detection for pixel-based movement? If so, there's no reason to even use the vanilla map editor anymore other than to have the external maps imported.

I cannot type, goddamn. Here have a map of mine.

>>144203116
You can mix tilesets so long as their the same size, I haven't tried for pixel-movement, but it might be possible since TileD was made for any sort of 2D.
Only problem I can think of is it's a little annoying to place events when you can't see what the map looks like.

I know double walls are realistic, but aren't they consuming too much space? Are they plot relevant?

I'm bored.

>>144207703
It's time to work on your game!

>>144196571
I'm hoping for an older/mature teen audience, ages 17+ who enjoy storytelling, SMT-inspired gameplay, character develolment, and a plot revolving around dilemmas of individuality and militarism

but realistically it will probably be eaten up by shitty kids on Tumblr instead due to having bright colors, an anime-inspired art style, a ~strong female character~ party member and a ~lgbt~ party member; they will inevitably ignore the plot and its nuances, and the fact that said transgender party member has killed multiple people in his experiments, and said strong female character is an abrasive asshole who stereotypes others, and they'll tell people to play the game because "uwu it has lgbt characters and strong ladies!! U should play it because some of the characters are black omg"

I may be slightly jaded

If you can script, yes; if not, no.

Is it possible to have the screen shake by pixels in rpg maker? I always found that 32x32 shake to be kinda... cheap and distracting, as if it's just panning the camera left and right by one tile.
Can it be applied to battles too?

>>144228101
IDK how often you deal with pixel coordinates as opposed to map coordinates, but a fix to your current jump system would have to be using them.

If the player's jumping onto a platform's far right side, you only allow them to jump if
>player's collision box pixel width + player's pixel x-coordinate < current tile's right most pixel x-coordinate

If the player's jumping onto a platform from the far left side, you only allow them to jump if
>player's pixel x-coordinate > current tile's left most pixel x-coordinate

Then you'd either manually edit every jump event near an edge with the appropriate check, or use a passability check to the left and right of the jump destination.
If the tile to the right of the jump destination is impassible, use the first check. If the tile to the left is impassible, use the second check.
Or you could do the "RPG Maker dev" solution, and specifically place your jump events only where there won't be issues and give the jump event some graphics.
It might even be better, because it'll give clarity of where you can or cannot jump.

>>144224248
The redraw looks great- not only does that fix all the proportion issues, but it's got more direction and movement to it. The old one was all over the place.

You've got a lot of black clothes though. I wouldn't recolor anything unless it actually is visually a problem, when you use these cut-ins.
They are cut-ins right? I can't remember...

What's the most interesting area you have planned out in your game?
bump

>>144246048
Underwater dungeon where you have to collect 33 pieces of a statue head
You move incredible slow and the pieces are hidden in the environment.
One piece is a random drop from the enemies so you won't find all if you run away all the time

>>144237315

>>144246582
Slowed movement isn't the best idea for that. It just sounds tedious.

>>144248159
It absolutely is.
The only purpose of that dungeon is to annoy the player.

>>144248393
I can't imagine anyone wanting to play your game.

>>144248393
Better be a joke game then.

>>144248393
Do you also have a time limit counter to the player drowning?
How about two boss fights in a row, with the first one being a long, drawn out one that consumes the player's MP, and the second one coming out of nowhere and demanding the use of a lot of MP-consuming abilities?
And maybe also having the prize of the dungeon being a super secret weapon that would have been ideal for fighting these two bosses?

>>144246048
A spooky forest infested with psychoactive plants, scary monsters that inflict mental states, and a weird hermit with a loose grip on reality living in its deepest and most psychoactive reaches. Face your fears there and you'll come out as a Berserker.

Becoming a Rogue requires you to break into the School for Scoundrels (too obvious?) through one of the locker rooms, then sneak to the admissions office without getting caught.

>>144246048
As I call it, The Forest Of Anal Cancer.
There is no real rhyme or reason to the map. You need to navigate through a very confusing series of maps. Exit to the Left room and you might end up looking up from below. Several rooms to look like the beginning and several to send you back to the actual beginning.

You interact with wisps to change the teleport path. The more wisps you reach the easier things get (lucky for you) so simply spending time on the puzzle makes progress. It's possible to skip the dungeon if you are clever enough to get it first try, or help an npc on a sidequest. (That may or may not involve an incredibly difficult boss.) The monsters in the forest are also assholes. They spam status conditions and have a chance to unload all of them at once on you with a special skill. Luckily this shit is near the end of the game.

Not really. That kinda humor style is just right up my alley so I just did what I know and like.
Unfortunately that means I might attract the wrong crowd or give off the wrong impression if I ever finish it.

Wouldn't parallax mapping bloat the size of the game, since you'd have multiple images covering each map instead of having just one tilesheet for multiple maps? Or is that one of its few downsides.

>>144259952
Yes it would bloat the size somewhat but it will look much, much better

Alright. Not really familiar with sparknotes, but this is the gist of it:
>Color is stolen from world long before protag was born.
>King is one of the few people that have lived through it and still live.
>King tasks protag to discover the cause of the loss of color and to restore it.
>Protag does this.

I wanted to make a world where data packets are carried by literal planes (virtual planes) as an alternative to Internet.

>>144320904
No. Wait until you at least have some concept art. People usually need visuals of some sort to stay interested these days.

Besides, blogging your writing as progress is a quick way to accidentally spoil parts of your game and make people uninterested if they've read the blog when the game comes out.

My progress right now is learning how to parallax. I'm using TileD for mapping and trying to understand how to autotile on this bitch. Might be worth it.

In my experience, their fans are 99% men who would say they're straight. That'd include me, I suppose.

I don't think there'd be any issues with it personally. Griffith from Berserk is bishied as fuck, and he also makes for a great villain.

I've personally always wanted to make a nature-themed androgynous elf villain. Kinda like Psaro the Manslayer, but more like an ecoterrorist rather than a misanthrope / monster supremacist.

>>144341829
Personally, I don't consider bishies like Griffith to be in the same category as cute boys like the ones >>144336283 and >>144338971 mention. The appeal is greatly different; bishies are mainly popular with young women.

Well, you see Griffith's muscles very early on in Berserk, and he is already very well built, so you don't get to consider him much of a trap. But his face is about as effeminate as Miura's style gets. He is even identical to the girl from the Berserk: Prototype manga. Especially during the occasional gag cuts that Miura sometimes does where he simplifies his art a little.

However, the thing that makes you take Griffith seriously is that he is competent and powerful. Which in his world demanded a well-built body (at least while he was a human). But if you are writing a story in a more fantastical setting where humans can use magic, you don't actually need the character to be muscular to be powerful, so I think you could get away with the skinny trap build, just like any villainess gets by with the seductress body.

My mistake. I was messing with some kind of RPGM around the turn of yhe millenium and it had isometric support. All it did was take existing tiles and stretch them diagonally. The cool part was that because of this, it was tile-based and any map could become isometric/normal at the click of a button

Does anyone have a good resource/tutorial on how to actually USE scripting in RPGM? MV specifically. Every tutorial I find goes over unrelated shit or the wrong kind of scripting. I have scripts downloaded and enabled but haven't a damn clue how to add them in or make actual use of them.

I'm also trying to figure out how I store something like equipment status to a variable that I can call on later via scripts to change displayed pictures, but without knowing the previous thing about implementing it, it's a moot point.

I'd like to just steal VH's strip script but I can't get to it apparently

Export them instead, usually piece by piece (face, sprite, etc) and insert them into the proper project folder.

I also highly recommend getting GCH if you intend to do any real and manual customization of sprites, it's a very useful tool.

>>144375857

>>144377606
Part of the problem is that side view perspective in RM just doesn't make sense.

In pic related, note the autotile overriding I had to do to make the rug seem more plausible.

I've also drawn in what I think a proper side-view door would look like. Note that the doorway is really two tiles wide, despite the fact that the player can't pass the southern half. What you're seeing is the top of a pair double doors.

>>144379946
I should really get on making a side perspective door. At first I had it just as an open space, but that looked dumb and ended up making it a solid wall (don't need to access the room anyway). Both ways that I did it gave me criticisms.

Doors are rough in RPGM.

>>144379946
Perspective wise this looks awful. A single rectangle would work better imo.

>>144379946
Side view is a better idea but how to implement it properly is another question entirely. That's not bad but it should be worked on to look more natural.

>>144368951
Well I figured out the picture display script using a commont even and equipment variables. Now I have a question:

Is there a way to have this running all throughout the game that doesn't involve calling the common event on every map?

Does anyone still use 2k3?

I dunno why, but it seems attractive to me. Aside from the image restrictions, it just feels the most intuitive and familiar.

https://soundcloud.com/mondo-nugget/whatre-ya-buyin

So I'm trying to decide if I should get MV or not. Did a quick google search to see if the type of battle system I want has been built yet and didn't find anything, and this is the determining factor of whether or not I get MV now or later.

So does anyone know if anyone's built a combat system like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (preferably) or Fire Emblem?

For those that don't know those games, it's a combat system where all the units are on a grid and they move around to fight.

>>144386539
I like it, would totally buy stuff there.

>>144388072
Sadly it does not have a tactics battle system and I think it would require some heavy scripting to accomplish something similar.

As far as I can tell, it's set up more like classic Final Fantasy games and Dragon Quest I think. With side views and turn based combat. You may be able to get the systems you want through scripting possibly. I'm not 100% on that though as I'm fairly new to this.

You get the "thin slice" doors to look better by just animating them opening and closing. Then your players will eventually get desensitized to how "bad" they look. They'll just think, "Oh, here's a door." later on.

>>144389535

Btw, before you get further into it, remember your entrance way is two tiles wide, but your door only covers one tile.

I kind of think if you're displaying the full height of the walls, then you should use the underpass together with a door opening sound and small delay to moving through that tile. That way you have visual cues with the carpet and wall that something is there, and you have audio and movement cues that you're interacting with a door.

If you really want to add something extra, you could have the underpass part of the wall, at half opacity so that the player can see the door animation and the character passing through.

Animated side door is the way to go though.

>pic unrelated

>>144423783
They do have peculiarities, but for the most part, you won't go wrong with just choosing the latest (MV, which boasts mobile platform support) or second-latest one (VX Ace, which has had support for many years now and therefore has the most resources / scripts / tutorials etc. available). The differences aren't so important that a project would only be feasible in a certain version, or anything like that.

His is, mine weren't two wide, so the first double door would've been great.

Bump from page 10

>>144423783
What >>144424040 said - MV is the newest and provides not only more platform support, but also allows Javascript instead of just Ruby for scripting. Also, bigger, nicer looking tile sizes.

VX Ace isn't bad, and it's had years of content and scripts developed for it, but it's slowly falling to the wayside like so many versions before it.

They DO all have their differences, some older versions are better at certain things than newer ones are, mapping, etc, but in the end the newer ones tend to be better "overall"

Here are the WIP sprites for the doors.

A touch event on the top door causes both doors to trigger move events and enable passthrough. Then a self switch is enabled on the top door so that its priority is set from "same as player" to "below player."

In an ugly bit of kludge, the self-switch-enabled page (at below player priority) runs a parallel process to check if it happens to be facing down. If it is, self switch A is turned back off, so that it returns to the default "same as player" priority page. This isn't the only way to do this, and it's probably not the best way.

A spread of touch events in front of the door trigger to close the door again when the player walks away. There's one right in front of the door for if the player walks into the room and back out, and ones on each of the tiles adjacent to that one for the possibility that the player opens the door but doesn't go through.

>>144431649

There is a bit of the Dark Tower going on, Kirby, Klonoa, generic fantasy and pretty deep in SMT territory at some points.

One of my story gimmicks is fooling the player into thinking its a generic fantasy (at first) but it ends up the a sort of dream world with a sci-fi backstory.

My issue right now is the bigbad didn't do nuffin (aside fucking over everyone on her planet and wiping their memories out of grief) However she set in motion plans to fix it.

I'm pretty much going for if you took SMT, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Mother 3, and Gurren Lagann and put them in a blender and turned it into a fine paste. With a few punches of The World Ends With You because everything I will ever make ends up influenced by it.

still working on my tileset guys
did this v v quickly to test a bit more of how it'd look like, but mapping is not really my thing right now

let's all improve together friendilereenos

>>144450493
i made shadows in literally 1 minute in photoshop after i did the map, don't think they'll look that rushed all the time

>>144450493
I think that many shadows are displaced and you could use some shadow in the house interior. Bushes in the inferior part of the screen looks cool shaded, but the darker shades look too dark to be cool. The shadow of the house's roof is very rounded, but the roof is squarish. The stones also look painted in the grass.

Other than that, I'm liking a lot!

>>144450493
Honest feedback, I hope it helps:

The shadows do look a bit rushed, but they're also very inconsistent. The Door Shadow makes no sense, the house's shadow would cast further and at an upward slope angle, and those trees to the right wouldn't be half-shadowed, the house's shadow would cover them completely. The rest of the tileset looks so nice but the shadows/shading sticks out noticably, take your time and even it out, focus on edges too, not in the middle like those back trees.

Also keep in mind, like the overhang shadow from the roof, it wouldn't be wobbly like that, it would be a straight line, and that patch of unshadowed on the main roof shouldn't be there - also, the side roof wouldn't be shadowe in the back, you have to remember the direction you want your light source to be coming from and make sure it's applied all over in a unified manner.

The shadows are all that bothers me though, the rest looks really nice so far.

>>144435790
Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, Etrian Odyssey, Vindictus, Touhou, I mean Undertale

Reminder to back your shit up online or on an external drive. My HDD officially died after only a year and a half. Taking all my work with it.

>>144451504
>>144452468
great, thanks!
as i said, it's the tileset i'm working on, i don't know if anyone here was on the previous thread, but i uploaded a bunch of tiles i'm making right now, but they're not shaded

I wanted to check what would a map look like with my tiles (i don't even have rpgmaker i'm just here for the cozyness and i'd like to put the set on steam one day. I just like making pixelart)
So I made a map very quickly and added the shadows on photoshop just to have a rough view of how would it look like with effects added after the mapping
i just threw some strokes randomly (i even forgot to add the trees' projected shadows lol)
the important thing here is the tileset, i'm glad you guys like it!

But you're right i gotta fix those rocks

>>144453228
Yeah, I'm the dude who first said you should post it. Actually, I'm very glad 'bout what you're making. It's getting very good. Keep up with your best!

>>144452867
Welp. I'm sorry to hear this.
I always hear these horror stories of people losing all their work, gonna will make some back ups later.

>>144447479
I wish Undertale had Gurren Lagann in it, that would be sick

>>144445925
That's about right, just need some space elves and put it in a technicolor cave

>>144453497
thanks!!
I've seen tilesets are often sold on steam for about ~$10
Do you think I can still sell it if I post some of the progress here before?
should I?
I don't think i'd sell it too expensive and I'd like to give it for free, but dammit a couple bucks would really make my day

But I'd like to show it before, get some feedback, see some maps made by someone else to see my work a bit "from the outside"

>>144456262
>monsters and humans live in the Underworld/Overworld respectively and the precise reason for this is long forgotten
>the protag is the first human in a long time to enter the monster territory and is treated as an invader because of that

O shit waddup

I haven't posted here in ages. How's life, guys?

>>144456673
wow that looks sweet

>>144456496
Honestly, my answer is yes. The only thing you'd have to do is get a little better with shading. Also, keep in mind that most of the packs are big, with tiles for interiores, exteriors, dungeons and stuff.
If your intentions are about selling your stuff, you could get a topic on the classifieds area of RPG Maker Web forums.

So annoying finding an appropriate portrait style for 360p resolution.

I was trying to display the entire torso, but it leaves way too few pixels for the face.

>>144457761
You could increase the game's resolution, could you not?

>>144458071
I could.. but then I'd have to actually create 720p assets for everything else.

Work on your game Anon.

>I'm not sure why you have such a complex event for doors though
>door opens, player moves "forward" 2 squares after the waits end then it closes

For me, I don't want the player to be moved forward automatically. They should be able to open the door, then either walk through the door or not on their own.

>Do you have a name you want to have under creditting for the door?
This is just a little prototype to make sure I have the perspective right. Consider it public domain. I'll probably wind up redoing a better one with another frame of animation and proper art.

But I just got home. I need to recover from the 109F temperatures before I can be creative.

>>144444918
I thought the ! was necessary if the character graphic wasn't the standard 48x48 size. Apparently that's not true though. I do notice that the whole sprite gets shifted up a few pixels without the ! for some reason. Weird.

>>144464027
Without the ! the graphics are raised by 4? pixels or something iirc.

It says use \| to have a pause for a second when displaying text in MV.
But what is that |?
Not on an English keyboard by the way.

>>144465790

It's a vertical bar character. shift+backslash on a US keyboard.

>>144465983
Aha! I was able to find it. Thank you Anon.

>>144463516
Nice to know I'm not the only one suffering in AZ's heat

>>144464027
I think the ! just decides how it's layered, it did shift without the ! but it didn't layer wrong either so that's all probably part of how it works

>>144456589
I mean in terms of visual and tone, they really aren't alike. I just wish Undertale had more exciting graphics.

Well I and I'm sure many other makers down the line certainly appreciate ya putting it out there, something we've needed for an obscenely long time yet noone ever did.

>>144468730
I opened the webm in fullscreen. Only true sprite art is the character, no? Even default assets aren't sprite art, since they don't scale up well.

>>144468929
Right now yeah the character is the only commissioned asset besides the door. The rest is a mix of RTP and scaled up VX Ace sprites I was using before I upgraded the project to MV, I know it needs some work and probably rescaling but that's later

Well, I'm pleased with how my "Split the party to traverse the crumbling floor" puzzle is going. I posted a webm of an earlier version the other day. Since then I've done a little more work, like making sure all the puzzle's switches get reset properly if you have to start over, and I've adjusted the locations of various chokepoints.

>>144473250
I WOULD IF I HAD PROGRESS TO SHOW

>>144473250
Uh, I made a dialogue based character creation.
And know I'm pondering which resolution I should use.
The characters are somewhat small at 1920x1080. And I'm not sure if the maker can work well with big maps and parallax mapping.

>>144474357
I saw that webm earlier, simple and nice usage :)

>>144474412
Get crackin' then!

You're always your own worst critic. Give us a listen and see if it actually is.

>>144474638
1024x768 is a nice middleground, still bigger than older RPGMaker standards but not gigantic either. 1280x720 is a nice youtube-friendly format if you ever want to think about it being streamed or LP'd. If you're using MV it may be moot anyways since you can just maximize the window or resize manually.

Trying to come up with a message that semi-cryptically gets across the idea that "next turn, the Rat King's tail is going to start summoning additional monsters." It needs to all fit on one line. I'm fine with it sounding a tiny bit Engrish like Final Fantasy 4's writing (I think it's charming).

Two things I've tried, neither of which I'm happy with:

"Vibrations in the tail summon a swarm!" (This is good, but it's then weird that the first add doesn't appear till next turn).

"The sound of scurrying draws closer!" (This doesn't imply that the tail is the cause).

>>144476012
>tail's tapping on ground like sending message!

>>144476012
>You see the tail swinging and feel the ground shaking.

Is this too long?

>>144477715
That's just about the longest that can fit. I don't think second-person narration is appropriate here, but maybe something like "Rat King's tail swings. The ground shakes."

I've got too many vague concepts floating around in my head. The simplest one I could implement is an investigation/infiltration adventure, but even then I can't decide on a specific plot.

Another part of the problem is that I'm more familiar with tabletop WRPGs than JRPGs (save Pokemon and Paper Mario), and tabletops generally fit better in the turn-based tactics/strategy genre than RPG Maker's default JRPG setup. Getting something approximating Neverwinter Nights or Baldur's Gate would require dozens of plugins and common events that I haven't gotten a grip on yet.

>>144479389
Feel like it may be a bit too simple after the transition. And drums seem kind of off like it may be out of place.

>>144475134
A little generic but not bad. Needs some grey rocks mixed in for flavor.

>>144477715
I'm not a fan of the wording, personally. Something more along the lines of:

>Rat King's Tail rhythmically thumps a cry for assistance!
or
>Rat King's Tail thumps the ground, rallying his minions!

>>144479947
Just do it anon! Make the kind of game you'll have fun making and playing by yourself. Then use that experience to develop the kind of game that around 5 people on this whole planet might want to play.

I believe in you.

>>144478478
Actually not bad, though my opinion is that it is a little on the simple side, but also A) the Drums are much louder than the violin, and B) I feel something besides a violin would be more fitting behind drums like that. Something deeper, maybe even non-string instrument. Bear in mind I'm not exactly musically talented.

>>144479947
Do like some guy on /v/ did a few weeks ago: Make a thread and have people decide on shit like the Plot for you. Or set up a roulette for yourself, then post and use the post digits to decide what to use, e.g; 10-20 = scifi plot, 30-40 = western plot, etc

If you can't decide on things, find ways to have the decision made for you, be it mechanically by RNG or organically by another anon.

>>144480812
>A few weeks ago
You talking about the guy who randomly makes threads and keeps developing (further and further) an RPGMaker MV game based on thread comments?

>>144480905
Something like that yeah. I only saw a couple of them so I have no idea if it's done or even still going or not though.
