Someone else's work, and that makes me want to get your guys' opinion on something:

How do you feel about someone fixing your work (sprite, script, song)? Some sides I can see..

>Uh, okay.. Fuck you. What am I even supposed to be learning here? That you're better than me?
>..Wow, thanks for showing how inept I am. I just.. don't feel like drawing anymore..
>I can't believe someone spent time to actually work on some random person's work. Don't you have your own shit to do?
>Wow, thanks for spending the time to help. It's a lot easier to understand concepts when it's applied to something I'm closely familiar with.

I've personally never had the (mis?)fortune of having someone tarnish my work.

>>154709283
Right now, your monster doesn't have "form" to its muscles. There's also light shading, but not in places or in a manner that makes it seem to exist somewhere.

>You have to define your muscles through your shading
The back, traps, shoulders and arms have practically no definition. You cut into them with shading in ways to imply their shape.

>You have to consider how's the light going to be obscured.
The right arm is floating over a few parts of the body, so the shading should make note of that.
Right hand doesn't have to do that much to the right thigh, but it looks kewl, so do it anyway.

Head affects left arm, torso affects itself, waist affects tail, etc.

There's some trickiness to your "underbelly" vs "regular skin", because you use the same color for everything, just different shades.
You need to do some cute stuff to it.

>Left leg's poor shading lead to ambiguity.
It can be interpreted as being forward facing, or as being spread to the side. I think you wanted it to be forward facing, judging by the outline.
For fun, I just chose to interpret it as being spread out as though he were trying to fuck a girl.

And with all of this shown, you basically need to not be afraid of using a lot of the darker shades that you select.

kek. Reminds me of Diablo 2 concept art. They actually included the dong in-game too. It's spiky and horrifying.

>>154714783
Wow, thanks for the lizard dick.

Seriously though, thanks for the attempt, but your version on the right doesn't look very good, with exception the left leg which is much, much clearer in position and the right arm, which does have a lot better muscle definition.

>>154714783
I'm happy when someone gives me constructive criticism.
After all there is always someone better than you and if they take some off their time to help you then they are pretty good people in my book.

>>154715859
the new one is about eight million times better than the original m8

>>154716124
The spots on his leg and neck look wrong instead of showing light & shadow and the chest area just looks like it's trying to be overly detailed where the original was more cartoony and with the limited palette, looks better.

>>154715859
I'm.. actually a little taken aback by that response. lol

I know I'm being rude/arrogant when I'm going to admit that I'm interpreting it as something like
>Yeah, okay. Some things are improved, but my version is better overall.

It's making me wonder what's your exact opinion on things.

>>154716375
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that. I do like the improvements you made on the arm and leg, but the chest looks terrible and the neck looks weird, but that's probably due to my weird lines marking his back.

I'll definitely take what you said into consideration and I've saved a copy of the image so I can look over it and study how you made those two limbs look so much better.

>>154716247
There is no rhyme or reason to any of the original shading at all.

You're definitely free to decide on what advice you think is worthwhile or applicable to your style. I know I don't apply every technique I've learned to my chinese cartoon portraits.

But before I head off to bed, about the neck..

The way you shade the neck/traps/back right now makes the neck appear like so.

You have to think about the fact that it's a hunched over large monster.

I actually was way too conservative with where I decided to place the neck in my edit. It still should've been raised way higher vertically, as can be seen. That would result in the most "natural" neck connection.

Try to think of how other large creatures would have their necks attached while leaning over. I personally thought of DBZ and Tigrex/Nargacuga when thinking of how I'd shade the neck/trap/back.

>>154709283
they need a little work on shading but we're off to a pretty great start
slimeboi has some slppy issues with his outline, cmon you can do better
i'm a little lost as to what's going on with boarman (bullman?)'s right arm; is he an amputee?

honestly these are pretty knockout and i'd like to see more; even at their current level a game full of assets like this would be a charmer

Pigman (he's a boar-orc thing, but all the placeholder names are ___man) has his fist raised near his mouth, like he's gonna pop you in the face. Maybe I should draw and define a thumb up on top?

I don't know what is sloppy on the slimeman's outline, except that it's supposed to be lumpy and sloppy? I think the issue might be that the bottom chin should use the black outline instead of the solid color, and that's what looks sloppy to you?

Skellyman here I'm not happy with, but a friend suggested I draw a skeleton next and this is what I came up with. His head is totally misshappen and needs to be redone, and that crown I spent like zero time on.

So, what can I do to guide someone on interacting with some object that isn't exactly in the way of the player in their starting area?

I want players to search the endtable, find some item and give it to this green plushie bear which will then fight them, but everything is totally ignorable.

>>154722553
Aw, I'm sorry then.
I can't see any difference between the Guard and the Father then.
I'm sure someone else can help you, though.

Anyone knows a way to make 1-turn-charge-moves like pokemon does?
Solar Beam, Fly, Dig, Dive, all that?

I tried using Shaz's State Add/Remove Commands and go like:

Skill #1 targets the user, giving them a State
This State then has the Cannot Move restriction, lasts 1 turn and gives them access to Skill #2
With Shaz's plugin I wrote
onremove: this.$gameTemp.reserveCommonEvent(0012)

while 0012 is a common event to force the use of Skill #2 when the State ends

However it's not working and an error is showing up.
Am I doing anything wrong?

>>154722818
Put a shiny on it.

>>154722818
An NPC hinting towards it or a readycheck before the encounter to imply something can be altered before you fight it. Lots of ways to do it if you just think creatively!

>>154723209
Then it becomes the main objective

>>154723328

Made the changes I talked about >>154721350

Gave boarman a thumb, changed the lines on slimeman, fixed skellyman's whole head and in addition worked on lizardman's shading so his back/neck situation doesn't look so dire and fixed up his leg & arm close to how the helpfulanon did it.

Is there a way to change the resolution of the game? Or do I have to import my tiles/sprites at larger sizes to get them to look right?

>>154764397
You can do it with Scripts/Plug-Ins but it is a lot more trouble than it is worth, IMO.

>>154764556
Okay. I'll just resize them before importing, then. That's kind of a pain.

>>154764397
It can be changed quite easily in MV with a script.

>>154764818
How about VX Ace?

>>154765149

>>154765626
>>154766269
Thanks.

>>154766269
This doesn't actually help since it doesn't do anything about tile size, so you're still using the giant sized tiles + grid/step size.

>>154769157
I see.
I've been wanting to change my resolution as well to something lower to make things look bigger, but that just messes up all my pictures, and especially lighting.

>>154770814
Err, no that's not right. Lighting's the one actually working well after resolution change. Menus and such don't.

Alright, you wizards and witches, I need some MV script call help.

I can script call choices (pic related) with no problem, but I can't, for the life of me, find an output that knows which option you chose. I know I'm going to need a Conditional Branch to have an effect based on what choice, but what am I checking for?

Ace had this "@branch[@indent]" thing, but MV uses completely different terms.

>>154785426
You need to find people who want to buy these dolls even if they don't want them.

You could just use the normal event commands for that.

>>154786230
Yes. Unlimited choice options combined with being able to use $variables for the text (rather than \v[ariables]) are both godsends.

>>154802448
Depends. Is that a magebot (male) or magebot (female)? If the latter, keep it. I like the midriff thing that's going on, and it helps the model come across as female. If male, you should probably go with something else because it is way too androgynous.

Have you made progress today?

What's the script call for 'Force Action' in VX Ace?

>>154809436
not that much, so i'm staying up a bit longer.

So I'm wanting to change the effects of luck to be something meaningful. In game_battler, there's this chunk:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Get Effect Change Rate by Luck
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def luk_effect_rate(user)
[1.0 + (user.luk - luk) * 0.001, 0.0].max
end

From what I understand, this makes it so it compares attackers luck to defenders luck and applies a bonus/penalty based on the outcome. If I want to change the effect to be a simple: attacker's 1 luck = bonus 1% to apply status effect, how would I do that? I'm clueless on the programming for this.

Good night bump

>>154813857
if luk_effect_rate() is meant to be 0 with 0 luck, then the formula is
>user.luk * .01

the math is that you're just converting luck into a percentage. 50 luck * .01 turns into .5, or 50%.

>>154806367

I'm aware. I still remember when he first posted art of the male PC and everyone was going "Oh, she's cute. Wouldbang/10"

But doing so middriff play with the clothes is a good, subtle way of showing gender to me. It's my two cents on the piece, which is what he was asking for. Of course he can do whatever he wants. My dick will never complain.

Inventory anon here. I've made some progress, involving item navigation and a function for actually using items. Took a while to figure out (might be better ways to do this), but it works... almost... I've run into a problem I know why is happening, but every "fix" just seems to add salt to the wound.

You see, when I choose to use for example "root beer", which is item 1 in the database, it works nice and DANDY. The item is removed correctly. Same goes for item 2 when I do that afterwards. But what is this? When I proceed to use item 4, it uses item number 3 instead.

What happens is, if there is a previous item (in the database) that is not in the inventory, the script jumps as many instances back in the database as there are entries missing. For example, I don't have item 1,2,3, and try to use item 5, then it uses item 2 (5-3=2). What I thought was logical thing to do was to create a [Missing item] variable that increases every time the script loops to search for another item if it cannot find the first. The problem is I cannot seem to find a way to increase my [Inv Select Item] variable ONLY if items previous to the selected one is missing.

I've removed the function for [missing items], because I couldn't get it to work properly.

Still trying to make it work. I think I just need to hit the "a-ha!" moment

the 16 secondary parameters now function properly, and get calculated based on the 6 primary parameters whenever the actor is refresh()'d

>>154819843
are you ever reorganizing/refreshing your item list when something happens that can affect it?

like when the party obtains a new item that will show in the list, or when the party consumes/loses enough items to have its entry deleted from the list

that would be the most 'proper' solution if i'm understanding your situation correctly. there shouldn't be a need for a missing item counter.

>>154819843
Original "Aha!" anon here. Going to be honest, I have absolutely no idea what's going on here - I mean, with the event in general. I'm struggling to read it top to bottom.

Why does Var445 add one before looping? What does Var443 equal before the loop? Presumably you want 445 to start at 1, so why does it start at var443 + 1 instead of just Var445 = 1? What does var443 do besides be set to 0?

Furthermore, careful with setting those switches (371, 96) off before doing things. Some events, if dependent on a switch behind on, stop the moment it turns off rather than finishing (so it won't set var443 to 0 (does it ever change?), doesn't set var447 to 0 (should be done before the loop, desu), etc.

Lastly, if it were me, since we already know the item ID for a given slot based on the event we worked on yesterday, There should have been some mechanic that essentially sets a variable to the value of $ItemList[1] or [2] or whatever the navigate is currently selected as.

For example, the X starts on slot 1 ($ItemList[1]) and if I use it, it uses $data_items[$ItemList[1]]. And since we're using variables, I'd have Var443 start at 1, and pressing "Down" moves the X does and adds 1 to Var443. This will then keep track of what slot you are currently selecting, and Var443 will equal the n of $ItemList[n], so you can always do "If Input is pressed, use $data_items[$itemList[$game_variables[443]]]"

A mouthful, but simple. It just needs a way of reading "the end" of $ItemList which I recall leaving as a 0 for convenience, so the X marker loop back to the top. The X represents what item is selected, right? Please don't tell me I got this all wrong.

You don't know the half of it. A "Break Loop" command in a Conditional Branch only takes you to the nearest "Repeat Above" line and continues there, regardless of the loop it was actually in. I've had fun with that when making branching dialogue.

There's a loop earlier in the event organizing items. The first pic makes the party lose items when consumed, this one adds new when it recognizes them in the database, so that's always working properly.

Pressing down or up already increases/decreases [443] (and stops it before going over or under the min/max slots). Setting [443] to 1 would just make the player use the first item in the list, no matter which is selected, so rather add 1 to it, becaues the [443] starts at 0 in the beginning and increases/decreases as the player navigates through the list, but there's no 0 item in the database, so I have to add one when [C] is pressed.

So, when the X is at the second item in the list, [443] = 2.

Also, the switches turn off fine. The final switch is what closes the whole event. [371] and [96] are two other menus linked to this one.

But regarding my weird conundrum, what you suggested about using $ItemList really worked just fine! Thanks a bunch. I guess I was thinking too complicated again. As is tradition.

Now my inventory is working as it should. I just need to fix the graphic and call appropriate common events when items are used/equipped/tossed/sacrificed to satan.

>>154822086
That's MV exclusive, right? I still have never touched it before, and the more I hear about it, the more okay I am with staying with Ace until they release RPG Maker: Sorry We Fucked Up edition.

I feel like RPG Maker editions are like Windows editions, in that only every other installment is actually any good (mostly).

>I already got it working as intended.
O-Oh. Well, I was nearly finished, so I'm just gonna post my alternative example anyways.

Th-This is how I would have done it. Assuming we're on the same wavelength.

Basically, I'm make the event >>154682913 a Common Event (so it can be accessed from any map), and at the end I'd add
>Control Variable: [0451:ItemNav] = 1
>Control Switch: [0008: Navigation Time] = ON

Then I'd have a second Common Event which is pic related. As a parallel process, it loops just fine until the switch is turned off (our version of Break Loop), with the main advantage being allowing button inputs.

This event will both draw the navigation marker ("BigRedX.png" as I call it) and move it, as well as allow you to select and use items, without all the fuss of extra variables or whatever. If having a parallel process ends up screwing with the player movement (behind the pictures), you can just disable that with
>Set Move Route: Player: Wait 1 Frame, Repeat.
and re-enable it with
>Set Move Route: Player: Wait 1 Frame. (no more Repeat)
at the appropriate places (Press A or Press B).

In hindsight, I don't think A and B are the proper "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons in Ace, but whatever, I think you get the idea.

This is just an alternative. If yours is working fine, don't worry about it.

>>154823618
I'm using an autorun event with input.trigger instead of button pressed. Firstly, it stops the player from moving with the event, and it only activates on triggering the button, not when pressing down (thus repeating the process unless creating a loop saying "hey, stop the rollercoaster for a fucking second, you absolute mad man").

B (which is X on the keyboard) is either used for opening the menu or canceling if in it, while C (which is Z or Space or Enter) selects whatever option is currently at.

I really appreciate both talking through these things and that you are nice as to show examples of scripts in action. It's been really helpful these past few days.

An interesting thing I've realized is that when the navigation Icon has reached the max slot, you can just reset it to the first variable (be it 0 or 1 or whatever) instead of just stopping, and you'll let your player get to the top when reaching the bottom and trying once more to press [down]. It's just those little things.

"Gender" is not "Sex" | Man & Woman is not synonymous with Male & Female
Identity doesn't define anatomy | Cuntboys in reality are just masculine females; not truly intersex

Androgynous. Andro - gynous. The word is literally a combination of Man and Women. It can't be androgynous without attributes of both.
>Android- form of man
>Gynoid- form of woman

Whatever it's A.I. considers it's identity to be is irrelevant. Because it doesn't change the reality of it's form.

C3PO is a translator droid. He could make his voice feminine if he wanted to. But he's still an Android because his body resembles a man's.
DOT MATRIX (In Space Balls) would be a gynoid, for having boobs (a sex attribute) not for the dress (a gender attribute)

Now, BB-8 being "confirmed" as a "boy" is down right retarded. Unless it happens to display something in an alien species "boy" that would justify it. Otherwise it's distinction wouldn't have the same meaning and would just be a shared name, like how turkey is the name of an animal and a country.

>>154824040
>Firstly, it stops the player from moving with the event,
Yeah, that's why I do the set move route thing. It's a trick I had to pick up when making SRPG combat by eventing. The "player" in that was actually a cursor in that.

> it only activates on triggering the button, not when pressing down (thus repeating the process unless creating a loop saying "hey, stop the rollercoaster for a fucking second, you absolute mad man").
And that's my iffy "Wait 9 frames" part. Man, I really need to learn that input trigger thing instead. It makes a dozen times more sense. Thank you. See, I have plenty to learn too.

> when the navigation Icon has reached the max slot, you can just reset it to the first variable (be it 0 or 1 or whatever) instead of just stopping
I almost did this in my example. In fact, I did do this initially (ItemNav = 1 instead of ItemNav -= 1), but when realizing what a pain it'd be to calculate where the bottom is (pressing Up at the top of the list), I figured it wasn't worth it, but only going one way was just weird, so I decided to have it just hard stop you.

pic very much related. What it does is disallowing the player from navigating to slots that there are no items in. Also plays no sound of moving the "X" when there's either no space to move (being only one item in the list for example), and showing no icon at all if there are no items. It works perfectly, but looks messy as hell. At least I understand it myself. Just need to throw in some comments in case I come back to it after a long while and go apeshit.

Will sacrificing the hips and making shoulders more narrow help with the ambiguity thing the character has going on?
Because it's kind of a running joke that no one knows if it's male or female and no one ever directly adresses the magebot as a "he" or "she".

>>154824901
To me it already looks like a very feminine guy, if that helps. I'd probably be more confused if I couldn't see its eyes.

>>154824843
Actually, an easy way to have it jump to the filled bottom is add a new variable to >>154682913, right above Loop2's Break Loop, that says
>Script: $filledEnd = $game_variables[441] - 1
which will store the final filled slot.

And that way you can have
>If Navigate == 0
>then Navigate = $filledEnd

Assuming assumptions. It's... a little difficult for me to read your event, so you'd do that wherever its appropriate.

>>154825174
That's pretty smart. I'll keep that in mind.

In other news, I'm now considering whether I'll allow stacks of the same item, or if I'm going to go a very classic route with 1 single item per slot. Right now it automatically stacks with no indication, so I'm tempted to try to limit and just duplicate the same item into a new slot. Everybody loves limitations!

It's just the hips. I mean, children are easy to make ambiguous BECAUSE they are underdeveloped. They're usually only identified by their hairstyle or clothes, which hipster parents will mess with just to be contrary, as if gender isn't wasn't a form of communication.
"It's a an uncommon connotation, you wouldn't know what I meant"
>shame on you

sex features become more defined after puberty, as I'm sure you know.
Boys: angular jaws, broader shoulders, facial hair
Girls: Widening hips, Breasts.

All you need to do is not draw these things, and make sure the hair and clothing could go either way. It'll be unreadable.

No shame. Female artists I know tend to unconsciously default to feminine traits. Or Guy's who practiced drawing anime girls first later struggle drawing men -- baby face bodybuilders.
Actually that's really funny, I've seen artist who think "shota" is an artstyle, and they'll draw "adults" as just bigger shotas sometimes with beards but maintaining the same proportions. And they honestly believe changing the proportions and facial structure would be a change in "style".
They were Swedish or something, so I'm willing to believe they really are that ignorant and have only seen anime with children characters and no adults.

>>154829687
>children
Maybe it's the artstyle, but the MCs of my game have bodies resembling 16-17 year old humans.
It's not uncommon for my artstyle to make characters look younger than they actually are.

>>154824901
Never sacrifice the hips. It really doesn't matter because with your art style, everyone could be considered "androgynous" because EVERYONE has giant childbearing hips regardless of sex. I say design your characters exactly as you have been doing.

>>154824901
Your character designs are fine.

Related to proportions. I think rpg maker has a way of confusing people. Since the sprites are all the same size. People use Fighter01 as an adult character all the time, and that fine, but then they start to see his battler portrait as an adult too.

And it doesn't help that you usually view them individually.

I tried doing battler commissions once and -- well long story short, they were using the kid battlers as adults and I had to line the battlers up like this to convince them that it wasn't an style difference, it was an age difference.

when you're inside the conditional that finds that the party *does* own an item,

you set up a loop that will run the same number of times as there are quantities of that item.
inside this new loop, you'll be adding to the $itemlist array each time it runs.

so for example, if you have 4 potions, then when the main loop comes to the potions,
it should run an inside loop 4 times before proceeding to the next item.

>conditional: party has some item?
> var totalamount = the amount of the item that the party owns
> var counter = 0 //this'll keep track of how many times the item gets added
> loop
> itemlist[slot] = item id //add one of the item

> end conditional

red clothes seem unfinished, because they're really flat/minimal compared to emily's.
and the shading that it does have is pretty much classic 'pillow shading'.
the (well shaded) face seems to imply the light source is above, and slightly to the right, but the shirt implies it's like.. dead on and below? or more likely, nowhere
also, now that i'm taking a closer look, the right collarbone should also be visible

>emily
face shading is also good, but the neck and green portion seem poorly shaded.
the dark > bright region of the green chest piece make it seem like it has no form, because of the pillow shading.
and on top of that, the dark region from that shading is at the top, but right next to it, the red stripes and the shoulders don't agree with it.
it can't really be argued that the darkness is being caused by the hair, because that'd mean the hair's covering pactically every direction.
right red stripe is really dark when the other isn't. the left stripe seems to establish that it sticks up high enough to not be affected by the hair's shadow (if that's what's even happening to the green fabric), so the right piece shouldn't be affected that heavily if it's true. desu, i thought they were pauldrons on chest armor at first because of the left shoulder, but then i saw the sprites in the background.

You have to get a new font that has the look. Either find one, make one yourself or deal with the fact the font won't fit

>>154907693
That's a different take than what I thought you'd be going for, considering how good your pixel art is.

>>154933583
We considerated doing everything in pixel art, but our artist wasn't sure if he could manage doing a whole portrait in pixel art look good (he just started in pixel art, and isn't so confident about it yet)

>>154933189
She's also bothered about having to battle... Thanks anon

>>154921993
definitely not, because i hate how they look, and i've never had a problem differentiating stats,

but i can see how separating the stats with lines could be helpful. even just creating groups/sections would help with locating stats at a glance.

In battle, how can I remove enemies names only on screen (still want to show their names in the selection box, but not below their portrait sprites)? I'm using MV

Train conductor has a bad day. Finds out there are shady stowaways onboard, but when attempting to handle the situation, he wanders into strange parts of the train that shouldn't exist.

There's also a legless skeleton who hangs on a wall that gets offended when you mention his lack of legs.

All just regular train conductor stuff, really.

I'd love to know what the actual development workflow was like back in the day for SNES RPGs.

>>154959912
I know it was pretty wonky for the NES RPGs. For example, Dragon Quest II's last third was never playtested before production, leading to a huge difficulty/grinding spike.

So, one of my enemies is a bat that has caught on fire. Not an elemental, it just happened to catch fire.

I can't decide whether ice should be super effective on it or whether it should be less effective.

>>154963790
water spells transform it in to a relieved bat that gives you items and flees.

>>154958397
Would you be able to beat your game if you had that party arrangement?

>>154965183
probably not. it's impossible to make any meaningful progress with that kind of team comp.

here's a real response for you:

is his body meant to be twisting? his face and arms appear to be facing the left,

and his lower body appears to either:
a. be facing the right, but the "belly" wants to be facing forward for some reason
b. have a "right" leg that's actually a dick, because it's coming out from the center of his body, and there's some "belly" abnormality off to the left side of its body.

now get back to work, you nerds.

How absolutely tasteful. Good show, anon.

I can't believe it, but my game is actually playable from start to end. The story is terribly paced and the ending is stupid, but it's actually there!

Of course, now I have to go through and redo almost everything to make the writing style consistent and the story somewhat passable. I also have a ton of art to create.

>>154978632

your portraits are practically the same size as the enemy battlers! >:(

but i do see that a lot more of your art is non-pixelated, so it definitely looks fine in context.

Does your game have any secret party members which are hidden/optional?

Actually, it does look a lot better on the other side, keeps things focused.
One side enemies, other side friends.
Everyone is happy now.
sadly Al Pacci isn't done yet, but exists in spirit.

>>154995568
Hidden party members are a waste if your game is dialogue-focused.
Either the player won't find them most of the time and their lines will never be read or you'll think that before writing anything and their role is minimal.
It's fine however if the game has little to no story.

>>154993232
What does BAL even mean

>>154996512
I would assume it would be Balance.

>>154996512
Balance, I think. It's between Accuracy and Crit, so it can't be too far off.

>>154996512
how ballin' your character is
>>154996914
yep

it's basically damage variance, and i'm going to use the balance stat as the minimum %. eg, 50 BAL means your damage varies from 50% to 100%, averaging at 75%.

>>154993232
You have a lot of attributes going on, I'm astonished.
But what is ATT, MATT (some sort of of attack/magic attack boni?) BSPD, CSPD and MSPD?
What kind of battle system are you going for that utilizes all these attributes?

>>154885125
Wait for Thanksgiving or Winter sale.

>>154997446
https://my.mixtape.moe/wbxtpl.mp4
it's an undertale clone, but i don't post much about the actual battle system since i've gone into asset creation hell.

>_spd
attack increases your fire rate
bullet increases your projectiles' speed
casting reduces the casting time of special and super attacks
movement.. increases your movement speed

other cute stuff is that accuracy increases your projectile width, and evasion decreases your hurtbox size. particularly excited to see those stats in action.

So what did you guys think about this game?

Nice sprite work

I hope you all have a wonderful good night.

for some reason, i've been really motivated recently. working practically all day hasn't really been a chore, and is kind of enjoyable.

i think it might've come from seeing the titty monster portrait in completed form. i don't draw anymore (like once a year on a good year), and i'm definitely not familiar with pixel art.
but after shading that portrait to an acceptable level in 1~2 days, i feel pretty good about my technique and knowledge, disregarding the complete lack of dithering.
like it's kind of reassuring that my game's really will look pretty damn sick once it's finished, and it's not an impossible feat.

anyway, i'm usually the one giving scripting tips, but now i'm the one stumped.
https://my.mixtape.moe/tfqbsu.mp4

When I change a window's opacity, like this._itemWindow.opacity with this being Scene_Map, the window itself properly fades in and out.
The actual content inside of it, be it text, icons or a large image, doesn't change opacity, though.
You can see the text stay completely opaque as it's supposed to be fading out, and then suddenly disappear.

perhaps i'm just too sleepy to see the obvious fix.
>>155005105
night; hope you guys find something that suddenly motivates you as well.

Good morning guys.

I'd like some input for One Screen RPG.

Since the game takes place entirely in one room, and battles are triggered by you at your leisure, this kind of creates a problem for how out of battle healing is handled.

http://www.strawpoll.me/11242729

To clarify each of the options:
1. Full healing after each battle, and the restaurant charges fixed prices to give you buffs that last x amount of battles. More expensive recipes give better buffs.
2. You have to pay fixed prices for your heals/buffs, but you fully heal when you level up. This may create a problem as it may cause players to get stuck if they don't have enough Gold to pay to heal and can't survive a fight.
3. See above, but no free heals.
4. Restaurant functions like an Inn, giving you a full heal for a price based on a percentage of your currently held Gold. i.e. 30% of your Gold gives you a full heal, so you always have enough to afford it, but you may want to hold off on the healing for as long as you can so you don't blow all your Gold.
5. Same as the above, but multiple options. i.e. 30% of your Gold for a full heal, 20% for a half heal and 10% for a quarter heal.

What do you guys think?

>>155018875
nice. can't wait to redo my maps.

>>155019765
if it's a short game, then having loss scenarios should be fine.

>>155020258
It would be kind-of short, but not extremely short. The game will have 5 bosses, dozens of different regular enemies, dozens of different skills and equipment, and you'll be able to level up to 50 (though you will level very quickly).

It won't be an hour-long game. Probably no more than 6 or 7 hours though.
