Has anyone else abandoned projects you felt you produced a lot for, but upon looking back on them you realized you didn't produce much of anything?

>>149413610
Yes I have.
Still feels bad man.

>>149413610
Th-they aren't abandoned. I-I'll go back to my 10 or so "on hold" projects one day!

How do you guys feel about using the default RPG Maker sprites to make a full game?

Batman makes fighting with boomerangs look much cooler than real people using boomerangs.

>>149415436
It doesn't arouse my autism for deepest lore, but I can put up with it if everything else is top notch.

>>149415436
Depends how lewd it is.

>>149415436
I used to think of it as a fun challenge. "make the most awesome game with no custom assets at all".

But now, I'm actually trying to make money.

>>149415436
I'm sorry, I don't like it at all. It feels totally lazy to me and completely uninspired. Games made with the RTP lack personality and character imo.

Webcomics sometimes do things like Guest Strips to crosspromote.
Do you think it could be possible to do that in rpg maker games? Minor crossovers and Easter Eggs from other games to see if you can attract a wider fanbase?

>>149420262
It's possible I guess

>>149420262
I would like that. Nothing wrong with a character from a different game here and there.

Good night bump

I've been making custom rpgm graphics for 10 years.
People would expect more from me.

I'm sure someone else has done this exact same thing, but here's a quick sprite modification to stick the boulder from !Other1.png in the hole from Outside_B.png.

The hole is shifted down a few pixels from the one on the tileset, mostly because I like it better that way. I also removed the ! from the filename of Other1.png, so that the boulder would be treated as a character sprite, and get offset up a few pixels.

>>149415436
Graphics go a long way towards giving a game its character, and seeing as the default assets really don't have that much character [as they are the defaults] it's a lot harder to make something that will draw in a player.

Sound effects play a less obvious but still pretty important role in this character, and whipping up some new ones in bfxr or lapchirp or whatever is fairly easy but goes a long way to giving something its own character.

How do I write an interesting, compelling main character?

I've spent a ton of time on this puzzle, testing it for areas where you can get the rocks stuck in corners, areas where you could skip a rock entirely, etc. It all seems to work.

Unfortunately, it winds up feeling more like busy work than an actual puzzle.

>>149433768
Make the boulders move multiple tiles at a time maybe?

>>149433768
rekt. it's a combination of several things, like the map size, player walk speed, camera zoom, boulder interaction speed, etc..

i agree that it doesn't look fun.

How can I make a really polished RPG maker game that doesn't look cheap and has a good combat system?

Also, what RPG has the best battle system and leveling system?

>>149436097
you know.. learn how to do those things.

"best" is subjective, and so is what's acceptable to consider as an "rpg".

>>149434237
As an experiment, I shrunk the puzzle down, and I discovered that can actually fit the whole thing on a single screen without losing any of the logic.

>>149436369
Oops, there are a few bugs with that layout. But the fact remains that I can condense it a ton.

>>149436369
i'm much more of a fan of that. just being able to see all the pieces makes it look more "lively".

Still not great I guess but at least it doesn't take 2 minutes to do it anymore.

>>149436097
There are different types of RPGs.
Jrpgs, Action-Rpgs, Tabletop rpgs. Tactical-Rpgs.

of course, rpgm is designed for Jrpgs. EXP is pretty much universal. The automatic stat growth assumes characters remain in their designed role.
Distributing stat points is really only good for solo characters. It gets really tedious and time consuming to manage 4+ party members.

>>149436097
>How can I make a really polished RPG maker game that doesn't look cheap and has a good combat system?
Copy Paper Mario or Bravely Default

>Also, what RPG has the best battle system and leveling system?
Paper Mario 64 or TTYD, before Sticker Star and the current dark age

Do I use the RTP or Aekeshic's battlers?

Of course it's possible. Some of the recruitable characters in Hero and Daughter are crossover characters, for example.

What do you guys think of RM Horror games?

>>149456720
as much as people like those yume nikkis, i think they're all a joke.

given, the only one i've played was corpse party, and that was just the enhanced psp remake.

>>149439456
if you push the topmost rock down instead of the one below it up, wouldn't you then just be able to put the one below it in the top and skip all the rest?
the smaller puzzle does look a lot better though

>>149456720
I've played a few, and not enjoyed any. The closest thing to decent was The Witch's House, but that was pretty much entirely on the back of the twist, nothing to do with the gameplay. I think RPGM is a very poor medium for horror gameplay.

>>149457782
Yume Nikki is a walking simulator, not a horror game.

i'm basically from eu, sleeping at 10am bump

Hi /rpgm/! I've mostly been at /agdg/ for the past few weeks since my current project doesn't use rpg maker and I don't want to post unrelated stuff, but I still consider this place home.
Anyway, I made a new song.
https://soundcloud.com/nathan-s-music/nes_maybe
I think it would possibly fit in nicely as a credits piece or something.

>>149438971
Man, your composition has gotten a lot better- along with your mixing. It's a good ambient song. It sounds very ominous and foreboding. I'm honestly not sure about the super loud bass at around 1:20. It is certainly cool and all, but it kind of hurts my ears after a while. I'd suggest either lowering it a little bit or EQing the low bass (sub 50Hz) a bit. I'm definitely a fan of this piece though. Also good pacing on introducing the different instruments.

>>149462482
>/rpgm/
Fuck. Meant /rpgmg/.

Dumb question lads, is the DLC for RPG maker just add-on sprite packs and music? No features locked behind another paywall?

>>149464932
That's correct. It's only resources, no features.

>>149465046
Alright, cheers anon.

>>149462482
The first 80 sounds like a sad dialogue piece, like the king is telling you about the destruction the Demon Lord has left in his wake, wuth the screen panning to all the ruined towns/etc.

The next part is weird transition, because it's so upbeat compared to the first part. Like 80 seconds is enough to be an NES song. It's good, but maybe I'm just a purist.

I like the subtle hint of real instruments halfway through. They enhance without distracting

You can't push rocks through grass, so unless I'm missing something, all 6 rocks are required for the solution.

>>149468849
Holy shit, thanks for catching that. I don't think I would have ever noticed it. I guess it's hard to see alternate solutions once you've come up with one.

I went ahead and added a patch of grass to prevent that.

I wish the puzzle was a bit more open, but I had to restrict a lot of free movement that was letting rocks get stuck (2 rocks in a corridor next to each other are basically unmovable since you can't push more than one rock in a row).

>>149469346
no problem, happens a lot
you look at designs from how you want them to work but other people just see the easy way out and break it

you could always add some kind of room reset switch or door if you want a catch-all for getting rocks stuck, though most mechanics I've seen like that look awful aesthetically

You can't leave a nice thread alone for 32 minutes out here...

Why isn't your game a musical?

You know, I've thought about it. Not a full-length game or anything, but it would be fun to make a short game entirely based on one song.

Was making a prologue + 3 part story with 2 routes for every chapter. Lost inspiration after i finished chapter 1, & lost the data years ago.

I still conserve some resources from it, but i dont want to start again with that game.

This stuff is amazing.

I've always wanted to try making music. I took piano lessons all through middle school and high school, and that included a bit of music theory.

>>149482728
The game looks pretty good, but you guys really need to up your game (and your mic quality).

How do I into tileset making?

I don't want to use the RTP but I have no idea where to start. I can make decent edits of characters, but tilesets are a completely different beast.

>>149486564
Umm I in no way tried to hide that it's our video, so no not shilling.

>>149483049
That's the more tasteful way of approaching horror games. I always feel like jump scares are a cheap way to become a horror game.

>>149488402
Yeah I think the game's cool too. It seems to be making a good first impression all around.

What do you mean up our game? And do you wanna pay for more equipment for us? haha

>>149466469
Thanks anon! I really wanted to have the contrast for the two different moods but was ultimately unsure how to handle the transition. I probably could have handled it better.

>>149492238
Don't lie. When you post "This thing looks cool" rather than "Look what I made", that's exactly what you're doing. It's dishonest and off-putting.

I mean, this is a creative community. We're not afraid of people self-promoting. "Post progress" is like our bump mantra. But when you hide behind a YouTube link and act as if you're an advertiser rather than a creator, it leaves a bad impression. I watch every webm, look at every screenshot, etc. that gets posted in this thread, and I leave feedback whenever I think it'll help, but I didn't even give your video a click, and it was purely because of your insulting shilling. Participate in the community, post in good faith! We welcome newcomers. But I, at least, don't welcome advertisers.

>>149489367
Follow this. This helped me a lot on how to design make tiles.

http://blog.rpgmakerweb.com/tutorials/anatomy-of-an-autotile/

It also helps to use the RTP as a guide/template, if you can.

>>149493249
Hahaha do you think I made the game?? We're Let's Players man. When we said "this thing looks cool," we were talking about the game. Because it does look really cool and we had a great time with the demo. It's an RPG maker game so the post is relevant. Take your cynicism somewhere else.

>What do you mean up our game?
As an amatuer VA, it doesn't sound like your voice acting. You're just reading the lines. One of you even sounds like you're mumbling. Compare to a friend of mine on Twitch:

twitch/lefuulei/v/77384516

She emotes. She does a unique voice for each character. You can feel how involved she is. You guys weren't particularly involved, or involving.

>do you wanna pay for more equipment for us?
Try to use what you have, but better. Learn what gain control is, and how to keep your mic from peaking. Also, don't breathe into it. That's Pewdie-tier humor. Focus on quality, and doing better with each video. "Just doing whatever" is fun, but it won't grow your channel.

>>149493554
Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, I assumed you made the game, because that's what most folks here do. If you made the LP instead, then you're shilling the LP and not the game, so I was wrong.

Either way, a simple, honest "Hey /rpgmg/, I've been LPing RPGM games" would be a thousand times better of a post than >>149482728 was. I'm actually interested in RPGM game LPs, especially if the game is connected to /rpgmg/ directly. You don't need to try to trick people into clicking.

>>149493572
Speak of the devil!

>>149494193
I think you need to look up "shilling" haha. I see what >>149493572 is saying by not making it obvious, but I certainly wasn't trying to hide it. Yeah it's our LP, and it's a really neat that I think deserves more support.

>>149494930
Whenever I post a video, I make sure to attach a name and tripcode. That's all you need to do in the future, really. Good luck to you

Oh sorry your guys' responses were longer than I thought

>>149493572
We're not voice actors.
Yeah my friend naturally mumbles.
We're very involved emotionally, but we also goof around a lot because we're both very facetious people haha.

I know how to control gain, we mainly need a pop screen. The compression does the job well enough for now.
Haha "Pewdie-tier" humor. I think Pewdiepie is very funny now that he finally doesn't take himself seriously.
Yeah we're always getting better, but not for the sake of growing our channel. We wouldn't pick such an oversaturated market if we wanted to "get big." That's why "just doing whatever" is what we do. It's for us and the people that resonate with us.

>>149494193
Oh and not trying to trick anyone. The original post was just my thoughts on the game. I wasn't thinking of what would be the best way to present my feelings about the game, I just presented them.

>>149469346
When testing your own puzzles don't just try to beat it, but try to break it in every way possible. Push the boulders towards every direction so you can see if there is anything that could ruin the puzzle in a negative or possitive way for the player.

>>149415436
Well if you use it as a temporaly replace for your own sprites, yeah well sure but dont expect me to buy that shit.

I finally made progress and now I have everything I need to start working on the game's prologue. Today I wrote a brief summary on the first scenes and described the places where they'll happen.

What should I do first: work on graphic assets or start making the game with MV's default graphics?

>>149517752
i'd say start with default graphics so you know what graphics you need to make.

>>149518109
You can flow with XP but you might have a harder time finding scripts and such for it that are still supported. It's still viable though and the mapping is quite nice. Haven't tried MV myself, more of a vx ace fan but if you want the latest cool things to work with, go for that.

Is it actually possible to have more than one battle system in a game?

>>149523329
yes

>>149523329
There's a script for VXAce that allows to switch between battle systems, I believe. If it's not that then I think it just let's you change between like first-person and side-view or whatever.

What do?
Identifiable facial expressions in sex scenes that I don't find particularly hot?

I can appreciate glossy anime portraits but rpgs should be more than a glorified visual novels.

I want to see characters move around during conversions. Tip-toeing behind talking guards. Jump back in surprise. Get knocked around and bounce off walls.

>is it possible
Yes, it's just obviously up to you to do it.

For example, back in RM2K, games could use the default battle system for one type of encounter, then a glorified eventing system for a different type.

What games have you been playing while procrastinating recently?

Mapping a big city is really hard. I've tried looking for references to go off of and realized most 2D JRPGs didn't do big cities in the way that Baldur's Gate and other WRPGs did. Maybe because it's really hard. I guess the way to go is going to be to not actually map the whole city, but just the major districts.

However, it gets the job done for beginners learning the program and just want something completed to show actual artists as a way to say "See, I can program and even write! Please help. I can't into drawing/sprites. I'll give you money!...Eventually."

I appreciate that!

The reason I stopped working on it (apart from general life stuff) was that I had the systems, menus, and overworld (map) done, but couldn't figure out how to manage the levels/areas. I was going to do Maple Story-esque sidescrolling but couldn't get MV to cooperate at all and it was too frustrating.

So if anybody has any ideas, I am open to hearing them!

(My only idea at the moment is to cut levels altogether and go straight from the overworld map to battles.)

There are a bunch of factors.
Will the player resent not finding it?
Will you be happier if players find it?
Is it intensive to develop?
Will your game have an earnest community?

If it's a tiny little thing that makes no real difference to anyone, go ahead and bury it as deep as you like.
If it's the game's true ending, don't even cover up the freshly-turned dirt.

Writing believable dialogue can be kinda hard.
How do I get good at it?

>>149558753
I feel like it'd be more natural to say, 'Sorry just won't do it.'

>>149558753
I mean, with a scenario like that, you'll never find believable dialogue, because it's not a believable scenario. But as far as H works go, that's already fine; the expectations are different.

To improve your writing generally, the number one best practice is to read. Read, read, read, and do so for pleasure, not out of obligation. You don't even have to challenge yourself all that often; even if 90% of your reading is light novel schlock, you'll be better for having read it.

read everything you write out loud, it'll make it more obvious where things aren't natural

>>149559225
>you'll never find believable dialogue, because it's not a believable scenario.
Fair enough, but I want it to have a sort of feeling of being levelheaded and not over the top. Which I do believe can be done, but I'm not a writer and lack the skill of conveying that level of believability.

>Read, read, read, and do so for pleasure, not out of obligation.
I do read, but I only have a few books that are in English. Guess I'll get some reading material in English then. Thanks, anon.

>>149559617

Based on the title bar, I take it you're Russian? Your English skills seem strong enough to read any random English book, but if you'd rather start with something easy to read, don't shy away from reading manga or playing RPGs. Books are best, but all kinds of reading help. (Though, do try to stay away from fan translations unless they're of exceptional quality. I've known folks who have picked up bad habits because their only English reading material was fan-translated manga.)

I'm half Russian, but I mostly communicate in Russian on a daily basis.
>Your English skills seem strong enough to read any random English book, but if you'd rather start with something easy to read, don't shy away from reading manga or playing RPGs.
Well, when it comes to manga and RPGs I mostly consume them in English, but the problem is that often the dialogue in them is a bit over the top, be it for comedic purposes or because the writer isn't exactly a virtuoso at his job.
On the other hand the few books that I have in English, like stories by Edgar Allan Poe, mostly use old English, that people don't use anymore on a daily basis.
At least now I have a good enough excuse to re-read some books in their original language.
>Though, do try to stay away from fan translations unless they're of exceptional quality.
I probably would, if I had the luxury to do so, but most manga I read is pretty niche and only gets scanlated by amateur groups and my japanese grammar knowledge isn't all that good yet, to be able to read anything past childrens books, so I have to stick to what I get. Though I don't usually have a huge problem to notice the occasional spelling and grammar mistakes, considering that in most manga the dialogue is usually simplistic.

King Crab
Spawns crab minions trapped in bubbles as counterattack.
If you attack these enemies, the bubbles pop and you have to fight them as well.
The bubbles naturally fly away in 3 turns with a Doom-esque counter.
Crab King's low HP attack pops all bubbles currently in play.

That song is super comfy. I'd suggest lowering the volume of the instrument that comes in at 1:44 if you're going for an ambient background music track, though, as it could probably get a little distracting. Other than that one thing, loved the piece!

>>149554270
It honestly depends on how significant the secret is. If it's like a secret boss, or interesting secret item, make the player work for it, but don't make it so hard to find that nobody will find it.
If it's an easter egg however, you can make that as secret as you want as there's no significance tied behind it other than to reward the players who are extremely diligent in looking for hidden things.

What's everyone's stance on meme games?

>>149620638
They have no value, except possibly as a weird kind of stress relief for their creator as they are being made.

>Its a dark post-apocalyptic world set in the future in which feudalism has returned in the caves beneath the surface of the planet. The surface is regularly bombarded with meteors which are made up of space wreckage from the massive space station that once orbited the planet. The protagonist would have to adventure to the surface with the others sent by a Lord to recover the valuables and fight off malfunctioning security bots and wildlife.
My protagonist is an Astronomer who is able to accurately predict around where the wreckage will land and for this reason they are sent on the quest.
Other than that I can't think of anything for a story I'd like there to be more than "You're going here, okay you got there." I'm having trouble coming up with a twist or something to make the game's story fun and engaging. What would be fun to do with this?

>>149620638
Avoid at all costs

>>149620990
Something to do with the people that are sending you up there? Having to fend off other forces? A few lords retrieving exceptionally powerful stuff from the wreckage, banding together, and generally making things a pain for everyone else? An ultra-powerful robot that gets woken up, comes down from orbit, and starts blowing things up?
Basically, have some sort of escalation that makes sense within your setting, and that you can actually build up towards.

Also, you'd be a fool not to have the final dungeon be on one of those space stations.

>>149620990
>Do they successfully salvage wreckage?

When things are clearly introduced for the sake of symmetry despite being boring in story or bad in gameplay.
You don't need a boss/dungeon of every element if you don't have good ideas for every boss. You don't need a spell, weapon or armor of every type if there is barely anything against which you would want to use it.

I liked Final Fantasy X's sphere grid. Made killing even rudimentary low leveled pieces of shit fun because you still get materials from them that are useful through the entire game.

>>149554270
I like super obscure. My game is going to have hidden walls (there's a skill tree ability to "see" the passages FF style later on) with treasures behind them, hidden tiles on the world map that lead to other places, and overall weird shit like Wild Arms' Abyss that's unlocked by the most inconceivable of means.

As long as no huge amount of story content is locked behind a secret it's fine. Missables also suck unless your game is less than 12 hours.

>>149574689

How do you handle battles in your game? Random? Pre scripted? What degree of freedom do you give the player?

>>149685757
overworld enemies that can be avoided. the player has total control on whether they enter battles or not. the only obstacle is missing out on experience that would be useful for unavoidable encounters (i.e. bosses). the player is only limited by their own ineptitude

>>149685757
A mixture of scripted and symbol. But the symbol encounters aren't the garbage kind that chase you, they're stationary roadblocks like Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. So really, it's something like "scripted with options / at your own pace".

I just wanted to let y'all know that you're all the nicest motherfuckers on 4chan and I love all of you and this general. Work hard on your games, I know you can do it <3

Ideally I would go with overworld encounters with some AI and obstacles that the player could use to escape them.

But due to easier implementation, I am going with random encounters that use a cooldown and an incoming encounter warning systems. Something I've also been interested in is a "pulse" during which you can have random encounters. So, if you are injured, you could try to "match" the "pulse" with your steps and avoid encounters that way.

>post-lighting on pixels
I'd like to answer your question, but I'm too busy puking.

>>149705991
What do you mean?

>>149706246
I think he means that lightning on pixel art should be pixel art as well, but those resources aren't really pixel art either.

>>149709413
Those resources are absolutely pixel art. MV's style blurs things (literally) into non-pixel digital art, but that shot is of VX(A) style.

>>149710060
the lighting is most certainly not pixel art

>>149710212
Yes. Hence the puking.

>>149710060
Ok. The character IS pixel art. The tileset is definitely not pixel art, though.

how do i make an audio-less webm? there's something i want to post but gifs are either too large or made ugly by compression

my party management script is more or less finished, and this webm shows what you can do. namely, cycle through info or change up your party. some party members can be locked into and freed from your party at will. the only thing I think this needs is better ui since frankly this looks like ass atm

You're on a passenger ship in a storm arriving at the port of the game's main city. Your character is just a hooded person at this point because you haven't customized them yet.

Star Wars text crawl explains what's up while you stare out at the sea, then you start to walk back below deck and the game's logo fades in as the ship moves out of camera.

You arrive in the city and go into the Port Authority, where a Scribe asks you to fill out forms to get citizenship, which is the character creator. You're no longer hooded at this point.

You're directed to head to an inn for the night. You run into a guy getting mugged. You're given a choice to help him or ignore him but either way the muggers go after you when they see you because fuck you ride the railroad. The guy you helped gives you a letter of recommendation for Hireling Hall, which is a big tavern where big deal adventurers hang out and find work. He can also join the party if you want him to.

You go to the inn and wake up the next morning in control of your character. There are no more cutscenes until you eventually gain enough reputation from doing sidequests to start the main story.

Take what you learned and make a better version of the game.

And backup your game on github.

Made a little "mugging" skill for bandit enemies to use on you. It keeps track of how much total gold has been stolen. Later, you can get it all back in a chest.

I'm looking up inspirational images for my scifi project.
Always wanted to do something with mechs or powersuits. But I'm only just fixated on cool designs; I can't think of a story.

Graphicsgale.
For this project, though, I've been drawing the enemy graphics in SAI, then taking them into Graphicsgale to convert them into sprites. Beats trying to get the anatomy or poses right when going straight into pixels.

After failed attemp after failed attemp at making music, I've decided that I'll need help with composing the soundtrack for my game.
Are there any musicians here that are willing to get commissioned to make music?

this wouldn't happen to be a hentai game, would it?

>>149748314
I'm no composer, but if you gave me something written with lyrics I could sing it for ya I suppose. Got a sound board and microphone recently so that times out well. Probably not what you're looking for though.

So, what do y'all think about FF5's job system? I personally do like it a lot and would love to implement it somehow.

Also, any cool guides for 8bit sprite creation? I am really keen on doing something with old graphics like FF1, that really FEEL old-school. I feel most of those oldschool games botch something, usually the scenarios.

we're not done yet

It's a holy, family sfw game blessed by the lord himself.
But no, it's suggestive, at most.

>>149751689
I'm not a fan of job systems. I can accept a character having the ability to pick mutually exclusive abilities, but no more than that. Multiple characters who can fullfill the same role other have kind of ruins the point of having more than 4 playable characters, and having paths and roles that force you to ignore the rest doesn't really motivate me to do multiple playthroughs.

>>149751689
just color on top of the sprites you want to emulate.

But given your response then it's a girl. That's a shame.

She's just a loli with short hair.
I tried to accentuate her having boobs, even when wearing clothes, but I guess it isn't really all that noticable.
