What are "Thou must" dialogue choices?

Any ideas for a name for my character class with "ist" in the name? such as perfectionist, imaginist.

The class should fit this persona: determined, creative, uppity and adamant. I'm basing my classes in archetypes, so fitting this should be cool.

How do you manage youtr time, anon?

Being a hikkineeto who plays vidya and watches animu all day it is hard to find time to work on the game.

>>170209069
Just do stuff other than play video and watch anime. Don't cut these things out completely, that's not fair to yourself. Instead, set aside a small amount of time every day to work on your game. Every week increase that block of time by an hour until you're up to 4-6 hours a day.

That way you only have to have the will power to stop your game/anime for an hour at first, then slowly work your way up.

This doesn't bother me for political correctness 'muh diversity' reasons, it just bugs me from an actual aesthetic diversity standpoint when every human in a vast fictional world has the same skin color.

Same reason I hate when games set in fantasy worlds with tons of non-human races somehow end up with all-human (or human analogous) playable casts 90% of the time.

An entire cast of ambiguously eurasian young adults who all happen to be immaculately beautiful just isn't visually or thematically interesting.

Other than the shaky-head on the top animation, are these walk cycles ok?

>>170225257
On the side-walk sprites, it looks like their legs are rotating in a circle. The shading isn't consistently applied to the further-away leg

>>170225591
What would I do to fix that?
Make the shading darker in the thighs?

>>170224081

>>170225968

>>170226575

When you have all twinks like Final Fantasy XV or all huge-tiddied ninjas like Senra Kamurga it really dulls the novelty.

>>170228137
Well i mean you go somewhere like Mexico and you're gonna see Mexicans. Diversifying is good but it should make sense in the world setting. Sometimes you don't need to add a few white guys to your Indonesian adventure just to have diversity.

>>170227471
Your neutral sprite is at the end, instead of the middle, so it looks like her legs are rotating counter-clockwise.

Also, your 'walking forward' animatins don't have a foot going forward; just backward. It looks odd

>>170229252
Oh. That is it. That must be why it doesn't look nearly as bad in the Maker as it does in Photoshop

I was trying to make an in-between for what this video calls the contact and down poses at minute 55 because it seemed like the "opposite" of the character just standing up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y6aVz0Acx0

Should I try to copy the "up" pose?

>>170228996
That's partly my beef.

Tons of RPGs have huge fantasy worlds but the whole party ends up being just attractive anime teens anyways, ignoring the fact that a way more mixed cast would be not only more interesting, but more thematically fitting as well.

I get that the main character and love interest at least need to be human so players can relate to them, but it is a missed opportunity when you've created an RPG world that already incorporates lizardmen or goblins or whatever other non-human races with apparent intelligence and they all get relegated to plot-unimportant NPCs.

Stuff like Final Fantasy XII and Star Ocean immediately come to mind as being games that show monsterfolk and alien races (that aren't just space elves) existing alongside humans, yet leave them mostly ignored even when it comes to villains.

Not really a dealbreaker or anything, I just really appreciate when an RPG has a visually diverse cast of characters.

>>170225257
Well you're using a side-view perspective instead of the traditional Three-Quarters view.

3 frame walk cycles, IMO, don't work well with larger sprite styles either.

Increasing the walking frames is easily accomplished with plug-in.

>>170230763
You should play Final Fantasy Legend (SaGa). You can play as the monsters you fight in random battles, and they even inhabit most towns

>mfw the 'Mutant' race aren't body horror abominations like I imagined as a kid, but instead incredibly homosexual elves

>>170231398
Was that ever officially released in English, or is there a ROM lying around somewhere?

>>170231742
Never localized but there's a translation patch if you feel like piratin'.
It's pretty much a straight upgrade of the original and retains basically everything so I highly recommend it if FFL2 was your jam.

>>170199883
>>170201251
I don't feel like that's quite the spirit of it. The original "but thou must" allows the player to *refuse*, but then that line comes up and you're booted back to the choice. This example allows for varying flavours of yes, but it doesn't pretend that you have the option not to do it - it's more an attempt to let you angle an existing personality a bit rather than trying to let you make your own.

>>170230763
The rpgs with diverse cast are some of the worst games I've played. The characters have nothing in common. They have no synergy. The game lampshades any question of why they need to travel together in the first place.

My favorite is the Suikoden angle:

>"Come on, man!"
>No
>"We need to save them. Why else are we here?"
>No
>"I understand if you don't like them. But how can we go back to our families without trying to save theirs?"

And then it repeats. Basically, it gives you a few reasons instead of just one stock phrase.

There's also Custom Robo where Yes and No often give you a different line, but move the plot along regardless. My favorite is when you are asked 12 times if you want to save the world

Brown-skinned dragon Mcfamous who was slandered and imprisoned by the final boss. Likes training the human and bantering with mini-bosses.
Black-skinned angel with black clothes and white trim. Is the childhood friend who died near the start and came back to help out. Alternates between stick up the ass and broing it up with MC.
Masked white human who hides his identity because he's on an edgerevenge quest against the final boss. Mellows out when you get him drunk, which is how he meets the party. Keeps trying to ask angel if dead family is in heaven.
Yellow-skinned furry who is the standard MC otherwise
Red-skinned elven love interest

>>170233289
99% of RPGs are pretty flimsy plotwise so I don't think that's an inherent problem with having diverse characters. Even beloved franchises like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest almost exclusively have 'excuse' plots, so it's not going to make it any worse if you make some character designs interesting.

Of course if you have what you think is a good, serious story that would be compromised if you shoehorned in a bunch of magic shotas or a brother who keep chickens in his afro, there's obviously no need for diversity for the sake of diversity.

But in non-grimdark high fantasy it can't hurt to pile on the wacky shit if you feel so inclined. Or to be Yoko Taro and mix your grimdark with wacky shit anyways.

How many layers of irony does your game have?
Or at the very least, do you have irony in it?

>>170235041
If you mean irony as in fourth-wall breaking jokes or 'ironic' RPG tropes then stuff like that really makes me cringe.

>>170235185
no. Like in my game, you're a supervisor in a tech company. One of the first things you do in the game is fire one of your employees but then quite soon after you also get fired. Possibly for firing that employee earlier.

>>170234414
Do they form a color-coded super sentai team?

>>170230897
Do increased frame plug-ins cause problems with other types of animations? For example, would that trick of rotating and using steps to create a "dance" sequence that some guy was trying to do two threads ago work with plug ins for 5 frame steps? I ask because I will need that sort of trick to make lewd scenes.

Also note that I am making that game mostly because I'd like to "have a game under my belt" in order to approach more competent artists to make future games, so I am ok with the frame rate looking a little bit off for the sake of cutting on production time, as long as it is good enough to attract some 200 or so blog followers once I release the game for free.

>>170235185
Fouth-wall breaking isn't Irony.
And you're thinking of hipsters doing things ironically as self expression. For them "it's bad, so it's good"
"This band is the worst. I'm wearing their t-shirt ironically"

>>170235310
It would be ironic if he did it to save his own job, and it had the reverse effect. The way you present it is important.

>>170236919
Oh, but of course, if you think the animation looks bad enough that it might get in the way of that objective? Please do tell me. I don't want to cut corners on production time that badly.

Got about 600 views thus far. Overall between everything I've had around 1000 impressions. Not terrible but I'm hoping for more. I have like six months of straight dev time to gradually build up interest. Eventually a beefed up version of the demo will be released. Going to be putting it in Greenlight hopefully before it shuts down.

Any advice on getting more of a word out there? The people who see it generally enjoy it, so I think I'm doing okay so far.

>all humans are white
Honestly I tend to default to white people when making a human design, and I feel like that's simply because I've grown up around mostly white people. So it makes me wonder if I'd default to black designs if I grew up in a black family
In any case my game isn't all-white

>>170259321
>it makes me wonder if I'd default to black designs if I grew up in a black family

Provided everything else about your life was the same and you still went into making games here, I think this would be the case.

I'll only say about the whole "humans are all white" thing is that I hate that when you want diversity in a game it's seen as "pandering" or "making the SJWs happy" as if not having straight white cis males is something that should be frowned upon desu

>>170260924
I only get bothered by it when the amount of minority characters is significantly higher than their real life presence for no given reason
The entire world is about 19% black. Unless your game adequately explains it, I'm gonna have questions if your game takes place on earth or has a very similar setting and has a 40% black population.
The inverse applies as well, if a setting gives me adequate reason to believe there wouldn't be terribly many white people I'll notice the whitewashing.

>>170259321
>>170259812
I wouldn't guarantee it. White often becomes the default for non-white people too, because they grow up consuming media featuring mostly white people.

How early is too early to make a demo?

>>170235041

>>170271962
i'd say you want around half an hour to an hour of solid gameplay and storytelling for a demo. too little gameplay and too much story in your demo will feel like it has no narrative substance, while the flipside will feel empty and pointless.

to give a solid answer varies game by game, but if you're doing traditional "story, dungeon, story, dungeon" style, I'd recommend waiting until a few dungeons in + story before you start considering a demo. this will give you time to get into a flow for the game, iron out awkward bits that tend to happen with new projects, and get presentation work started. plus if you (like many people) get sick of your project and drop it at some point (99% chance you will like everyone else) then you're not bound and committed to a project you don't want to continue with no demo floating around.

Same. When I don't work on my project directly, I think about it all the time. I think it's pretty normal reaction for things one's very invested in, especially if the thing in question requires creativity.

Anyway, if your dedication to the project doesn't make you neglect other things or overwork yourself, then you're completely fine. It can even let you stay motivated to finish your project if only because of the sheer time you've invested into it, even outside the Maker.

So I just did the 300 yen/month subscription and it turns out it's actually just portraits and drawings but no sprite or face sheets aside from the ones he had for free on his old site. I'll keep the subscription since the art is still nice and he might make more resources.

Felt inspired today.

Historically, depressed people can make some pretty nice music.

>>170299402
Any of this is useful but it depends on what kind of game you want to make.
If you are willing to make a game with the standard combat system (maybe get some plugins) then go for art/music.

That's bullshit. I get started writing /something/. And then I lose all motivation to continue, let alone have any good ideas on how to do so.

Maybe I just don't care as much as I thought. But then, that was all I cared about. So I'm kind of scared now, that I have nothing. That I'm a talentless husk of a person with nothing to leave an impact on society

I like RPGs though.

I feel you buddy. I'm the same way. I have no friends and barely any family left and my life feels like an ever-increasingly gloomy grind of work, eat, sleep.

But I love vidya and I don't want to leave this world without making a reasonably rad video game. I think about making games all the time and it helps me ignore the dread, loneliness and anxiety hanging over my head when I get to tinker around in a world of my own creation.

Hell, even if I make a shitty video game at least I'll still have created something more than the average person can say, and I'll have had fun doing it. Maybe if it's shitty enough, I can even make the people who play it feel just as awful as me. That'd be artsy.

You have to cling onto your love of video games and make that your reason to wake up early in the morning. Don't let the horror of dying alone sink in, tell yourself it doesn't bother you and just think about your video game. It's easy to lose motivation but sometimes if you can force yourself to start working anyways you'll tunnel vision into doing a bunch of shit. Think about how cool it is to create something of your very own, but take it at a reasonable pace at the same time. While being lethargic about it isn't good, there's also no rush to finish a game as soon as humanly possible.

If you feel talentless, work to improve yourself in your spare time, but at the same time you can't give into a perfectionist mindset. You can always revise things at a later date, but having something finished sooner will always be better than having something perfect "later" (never).

If you're like me, having no friends gives you a ton of free time, I practice drawing and coding whenever I have the energy, and even though I'm still a talentless artist even the tiniest improvements are progress. Putting your ideas into practice isn't easy, but nothing worth achieving ever was, so please hold on to your dream of making video games and don't second-guess yourself.

I'm a lot like you. I feel the same way about death. For me it was having fun. Having fun is the only logical thing to do with your life if you think about it and you think there is nothing afterwards. I mean this is all temporary and fleeting, why not enjoy it? I'm not advocating hurting people to have fun or anything, but you should be living your life doing what YOU want to do every day... or at least trying.

Good luck anon.

The prospect of an afterlife and our minds persisting for an eternity frightens me much more than our most probably limited existence. Eternity is a long-ass time. All things are meant to end one day.

Thankfully our thoughts are just electro-chemical reactions with our brain meats so there's no real reason whatsoever to believe our minds would persist once those brain meats stop working.

Let's make the most of our time until then. Playing and making video games is fun!

what really freaks me out is the idea of death with no persistence (which is most likely thanks science)

like, when I'm gone what will happen? if nothing, then what will my cease of existence feel like? i know these are retarded questions that make no sense because i will obviously feel nothing since i will be dead, but i absolutely cannot comprehend that. i cant seem to wrap my head around the concept of no longer existing with no more sentient thought. existence is all i know, so what happens when that comes to an end?

i know i make no sense but shit none of this shit makes any sense when you think about it

I understand your thinking, I've been there before frequently. This is the curse of being a self-aware, relatively intelligent, conscious living thing. You know that you are temporary and there isn't much you can do to control that. You don't and probably won't ever know what happens (if anything) after you cease to be.

There is no answer. For people like us this is terrifying and frustrating. But there is hope.

Through the loss of many people I love dearly over my life, I've come to realize that death is permanent and irreversible. The dead cannot right the wrongs they have done, they cannot love anymore, they cannot impact the world at all. The dead will never see you ever again, they can never spend time with you. This is important because it brings immediate attention to the fact that you are alive right fucking now! You are not dead yet! The dead have no tomorrow but you (probably) do. You can pretty much do whatever you want to do. If the dead were around us in spirit, they would be clawing at you with jealousy for your ability to just be alive. Just taking a shower, having a conversation. These are all things you only have a temporary ability to do. The worst thing you can do in life is waste time doing things that you do not enjoy.

I have spoken to a handful of dying people before and only one of them faced their death with full acceptance. That person was exceptional and lived in the moment every single day of their lives. They lived in the moment most all moments available to them. This is an exception, most people die full of regret. They realize all too late that this wasn't some test run, this was the only life they have. It's sad but true, most don't fully understand that they aren't immortal once they are dying. Don't be like that. Recognize that your short life is yours to do whatever the fuck you want with. Enjoy the fuck out of it.

Also to keep it /rpgmg/ related. You rock Karbonic.

I think you need to spend some time alone. Let your ego die, because an ego is only used to distinguish you in society. You can take that mask off when you're alone (or anonymous online). Then you'll realize it doesn't matter what you do in life because life isn't a story book and you're not meant to do anything. You can put on any mask. You're just the coalescing of circumstances. A fluctuating pattern. And the only comfort in that is that a possibly infinite universe with limited quantum states means a pattern such as yourself is bound to repeat infinitely. All possible permutations that can exist, will exist. Maybe even do exist, if you want to consider higher dimensions that incorporates all of space and time.

Which version of RPG Maker has the most free/complete tilesets available and which look the best?

The only reason I want to use RPG Maker is so I can make maps for Roll20. Specifically I'm looking for tilesets that are strictly top down only, not the usual RPG Maker fair where you can see the walls for 2-3 tiles and such since that will just not look that well in a Tabletop setting.

I was thinking MV simply because of the higher resolution tilesets looking better when I upscale them, but I think it still may be too early for that many tilesets to be available. Would Ace be a better choice?

>God made it that way

More than thinking about nonexistence after death, I hurt my brain when I stay up at night wondering what existed before the universe. If nothing existed beforehand, how did the universe come into being? Even if we go by the created by an intelligent designer cop-out, where did that God or Gods come from? Even if a magic man made THIS universe that still, where did the magic man come from? And if he, or an infinite system of universes 'always' existed, how could that eternity possibly arise even if it 'always' existed?

By all means everything should be infinite nothingness all the way down, man. Not even an empty void, cuz' that'd BE something.

Just like one day we'll all return to complete nonexistence, the universe itself will eventually succumb to entropy and cease to exist as we know it. What is left when all matter and space is destroyed? Surely some kind of material our minds couldn't possibly comprehend 'exists' beyond nonexistence and beyond our concept of things needing a starting point.

Hurts muh brain.

>>170322196

your brain is barely even halfway done growing.
Also it's best to do it alone, in the dark and with no one distracting you. Or out in nature. You gotta be one with the shroom. Don't fight what it tells you. Just go with the flow.

>>170322853
God exists outside of our reality. Meaning, he is not bound by the laws of this universe and as such, is an outside player. Like an audience watching a game, they are not bound by the rules of the game, only the players are.

>>170322158
No you're thinking of a multiverse where laws of physics might exist differently

I'm saying a single universe that's so large, if you want long enough, or travel far enough, duplicates with inevitability arise.

>>170322185
Not sure if you are going to be happy with the RPG Maker if you want a different point of view.

>>170323281
Yeah even if the God doesn't exist in-universe, where did it come from?

Also if the incomprehensible-to-humans conditions were met for ONE god to arise, logically it stands to reason there should be multiple or even infinite gods with their own personal universes. Or perhaps even multiple gods with multiple universes each. If God is omnipotent, why would he/she/it/they stop at just one universe? If a God truly exists it obviously has a non-intervention policy at this point, probably made a cooler universe somewhere else.

Or maybe they didn't even make this universe from scratch. Look at all those trillions of pointless planets and empty space. Maybe he was just using the RPG Maker equivalent of world-crafting tools, generated a giant map and got bored after filling one planet.

He's probably left us alone because he can't motivate himself to keep working on his game because he's depressed nobody wants to play things that use the faceset randomizer, and his artistic skills aren't up to par. And if he's the Abrahamic God then he's probably cringing that he ever used an Author Avatar self-insert as a plot-important mary sue.

I bet we're just Project5 in a folder of unfinished universes.

>>170322853
Understanding why you exist won't change the fact that you do exist.
So even you woke up one morning and understood it all - you'll just end up rubbing out your morning wood and eat a bowl of cereal because you're still bound by a linear reality.
Piecing your RM game map tiles together 1 tile at a time. Typing one letter after another. Like everyone else.

/rpgmg/ is a little weird today.

I'm not complaining, just saying...

>>170324054
Well you definitely jumped to a lot of conclusions.

The point is life is purposeful and each person has their own purpose. You might not know it now and it might not come for a long time, but it exists.

The best thing you can do is find appreciation for life and the things you do have. Everything you can see and have access to, praise and be grateful for. I'm not talking about the SJW "privilege" I'm talking about feeling appreciative for what you have and let that be the guiding virtue in life. Wonderful things follow that mindset and healing comes quickly.

>>170324262
This guy is right.

>>170324381
Yeah no kidding. I'd like to see some screenshots or something.

>>170323503
Well, I mean the universe we inhabit is finite so you'd still need endless multiverses for that to be true.

Although perhaps on some scale that's sort of true. Efficient patterns reappear in nature through convergent evolution, like how Octopi evolved specialized eyeballs independently from other animals, or how the 'fish' shape consistently reappears (Icythosaurs, Dolphin ,Whales, and Penguins are probably a few million years away from assuming a similar form).

If neckbeards making RPGs is for some reason an ergonomic form to take under certain environments, then perhaps there is a planet out there somewhere in the cosmos exactly like this one. Except where we've finished all of our games.

Is RPG Maker MV any good lads?

>>170325292
oh yeah. And it's made better by plugins too. and most of those are free

>>170324820
Finite, yes , but theoretically perpetual or at the least unfathomably persistent. Somewhere along the line it'll start repeating itself. If not in it's entirety, then surely the identical circumstances to create our speck of a planet.

There could be a duplicate of our solar system out there right now. Different atoms, but identical arrangements of matter.
But I guess you have to ask, who are you in this cloud of molecules and chain of events? You exist from your left to your right, From the past into the future. Would you acknowledge a mirror you that exists in a galaxy far far away who has done everything you've done at this point but deviates at this very instance to work on their game?

Man, I just wanted to vent not fill the thread with existential dribble, no offense.

I guess I'll just keep trying music until I make it work somehow.
