I think I'm finally done with this for this section of the world map. Who knew getting the player to always face downwards when standing on specific points on a map would require so much time and effort?

Working on battle backgrounds

Tell me something about your party.
What makes them unique?

Wasn't the guy asking about "equipment only, no level ups", but I'm considering doing the same.

It's easier to gate the player's level by the amount of content they've unlocked.

With level ups, you have no idea how much they'll farm for sure.

So I'm using advanced classes and the DPS caster path of the Druid is a Stormcaller. Any ideas for the advanced healer path?

I was thinking either Oracle, Seer, or Shaman.

>>180938678
How about Healer?

>>180934792
I don't know but gotta say that looks really good, it reminds me more of Underrail than rpg maker

Newbie here. Been tinkering with RPG Maker MV for the better part of a week now. Just wanted to ask if there are any downsides to not having a traditional JRPG overworld map? I was wanting to make my game more like Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga in terms of map design.

>>180942717
Try looking for plug-ins for clickable buttons / clickable/visual menus instead.

So any /FES/ here?

How do I make an event that is activated by an item but can be activated anywhere on the map

>Been stuck for hours on how to start the game

About to just fuck it all and either do a joke introduction or no introduction at all

>>180917501
So any word on these?

>>180949052
So you finished your game then? You're not wasting time on an intro instead of making the actual game, right?

>>180949682
How can I start without an introduction?
Also I decided on one so I'm doing it now.

>>180949798
Like... Proof of concept. Making sure ideas work. Drawing out simple maps. There's so much to do before making the intro.

>>180950179
I go from A to Z, then go back and refine things after words.
Proof of concept? For a game I'm making myself? For what purpose

>>180949798
By starting with the meat and potatoes of your game, the gameplay, your mechanics and battle system and all that. It usually takes a lot of time, experimentation and hard work to put together. Then again, if you have a story you're 100% sure you will not make changes to later down the line then I suppose it doesn't hurt to make a prototype intro already.

>>180950378
I just make a scene, then whatever the scene calls for I make it on the fly.

>>180950336
Like if you have any unique concepts for the game. Unless you're doing NOTHING interesting with your game then surely there's something you should be testing out to see if it works.

>>180950705
Gameplay wise not really, I feel like these days 99% of "unique" gameplay concepts for these old school RPGs just feel like gimmicks.
The game I'm doing will mostly focus on player choice, giving them lots of choices and having the choices have realistic and noticeable effects

I asked this in another thread but I want to ask here,

What is a comfy game to you? What would you consider being a 'comfy' game? Can a simulator be comfy? Though maybe an rpg can't be 'comfy'.

I found Harvest Moon fun but that's not really an rpg, Golden Sun Lost Age was good too.

I haven't played Rune Factory games but I plan to for my research.

>>180951372
A comfy game for me is a slow paced game in which you can take your time and do what you want. Animal crossing is in my opinion #1 comfy game ever made. As for rpgs, I think of games like Underrail when I think comfy.

also,
>can a simulator be comfy
Nigga, have you never played euro truck simulator?

You guys are really bad at making OPs.
The "Random Game of the Week" hasn't changed in 3 threads.

Silent Maid is doing Ch4 of the collab.

>>180951372
Comfy for me is slow paced, with no real danger and cheerful art/music.

My least favorite thing is making maps/areas.

God help me this is boring

Anyone here got a demo? I'll playtest for you and I promise I won't judge.

>>180955327

Seems reasonable.

>>180959023
I wouldn't want it any other way.

>>180938678
None of those seem specifically like a healer to me. Oracle and seer are more about visions, and shaman feels like a nature-based caster. Though it depends on the mechanics behind your healer.

>>180943402
?

>>180961194
Yeah I thought about it some more, I think I'm going to go with Healer and Shaman

>>180943402

Can't find anything about the Disgaea content on the game. How does it look like? Just some portraits or the full thing like npcs and prinnys to fight?

>>180963023
Is that out for the EUR?
I pirated the eur version for my us console, and the title keys site says there is dlc for it, so Inget there, but theres no difference

Is it my non-eur console or just isn't dlc?

Hey guys, I'm Journey of Stones guy on FES,

I just gotta switch to VX Ace, I'll work on a different for FES

>>180963849
One addition to this, its free to edit, so if anyone wants to work on an FES version, be my guest. It will be there for a while until I start work on a different project.

>>180959361
Okay so I just beat the first boss and apparently finished the demo.

To start off, I abused the fact that the dialogue option "Did I say I would help you" loops you back to the beginning of the dialogue enabling you to keep getting 300 gold over and over again. I don't really play these kinds of rpgs, so the extra 50 medicine I could afford was nice to have lol.

I initially picked the third option which gives you a fight with a knight dude which you cannot win and I wondered what the fuck was going on, but then I realized that's to show what will happen if you don't go on the quest. I liked that.

It says "You tried to run away.." even when I succeed at running away, which is a bit weird.

The music is nice and your mapping is comfy enough. Story and world seem extremely generic so far, but I've only played for a bit.
I find it weird that firebombs do jack all damage when used by my medic, it seems to me an item like that should do a set amount of damage regardless of who throws it but that may just be me. The music is nice.

Overall I rate this not bad, maybe even decent/10. And like I said I'm not even that into this genre.

>>180964469
>To start off, I abused the fact that the dialogue option "Did I say I would help you" loops you back to the beginning of the dialogue enabling you to keep getting 300 gold over and over again
That's totally an error and I gotta fix that.

>It says "You tried to run away.." even when I succeed at running away, which is a bit weird.
Would "You attempted to escape" work better?

>Story and world seem extremely generic so far, but I've only played for a bit.
I have some ideas that ramp things up a bit but yeah it starts out pretty basic.

>Firebombs
I kinda created that late at night when I was tired and just copypasted the formula I use for magic. You're right though it should be static and not based on stats at all. I've already fixed that up.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll use it to polish it up.

>>180965231
I mean that when I fail at running away, "you tried" makes sense, but when I actually do run away it should say "Got away safely!" or something like in pokemon.

Keep at it though my man, I didn't get bored playing for an hour so I think you've got a good game in the making here.

>>180964097
>>180963849
Now that I am remaking the world map in VX Ace, I miss alot of things like the automatic large mountains

*bumps into you*
Gee, watch where you are going Anon-kun.

>Knight Class has roughly 20 skills
>Black Mage Class has almost 33 skills
This feels unbalanced.

>>180970079
If the knight has a normal attack worth using while the mage is entirely based around abilities, the knight doesn't need as many skills.

>>180970079
That's quite a few skills for both of them.

>>180963342
Change locale with luma

>>180970079
A mage should always have more skills than a knight.

>>180971071
I dunno. Separating the skills that target all allies/enemies from the skills that target one ally/enemy doubles the number of skills available overall.

>>180971238
Do I do it for the DLC? Because the game works fine, I got the update fine, but I thinl its how the game uses the eshop for dlc

>>180975072
Yes all you have to do is enable the game patcher

https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Options-and-usage

It worked for mine, should work for yours too.

>>180972250
But how do you make the "All Enemy" skills distinguishable and useful?

Like, Mages have selective elemental attributes.
Knights have restrictive elemental attributes - based on their weapon.

Mages have large MP pools.
Knights have little - if any.

You don't want to equalize classes, because what's the point of separating them if they're not going to be different? You might as well call Knights "Physical Mages" if that's the only attribute that set them apart. You know what I'm saying?

It's a kind of bloat. Like forcing the player to buy 2 sets of armor that are essentially the same thing, just worn by different genders or races. What's the point? They do the same thing.

So after a very long time of not doing rpgm anything, I ended up learning some real javascript stuff accidentally. How scanning works in the local and global scopes, little stuff like that. I've always been a "learn the bare minimum to makes things work" kinda guy, so it was neat learning how stuff is meant to work.

One thing that stood out is the "var" initialization. I've always left it out of my script calls and told others to do the same because I was lazy and it didn't cause problems. Realizing now how local scopes work (and being yelled at for "strict mode" problems), I decided to try using var in a script call instead of just my .js plugins - and it totally doesn't fucking work.

I realize why it doesn't, but I'm kind of surprised how convenient my old lazy method worked out. For the curious, the script call is its own local scope (and not the event page), so using var is declaring a local variable, which is deleted when the script call itself ends. By not using var, the computer defaults to creating it as a global variable instead, which can be read by anything. You must use the local variable within the script call box to use it at all.

Anyways, more importantly, today's Song of the Day:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKrOH0sQV6w

>>180983592
I missed the song of the day very much.

>>180976107
Knights can apply protective buffs or enter offensive stances. They can resist stuns and do multi-hit to get past barriers.

Mages can enter speed stances or power stances, but both make them easier to kill. They have access to wide area attacks and multi-element spells.

What does your game say when a hero deals a critical hit? When a hero is dealt a critical hit?

>>180986535
How do you do this?

>>180987256

MV allows you to do it in the database.

I'm sure there are ways to do it in the other makers, though, probably involves some basic file editing.

>Can't write with stylus

Also, I read in the last thread
>>180927557
it lacks conditional branching. So does PS1. If you want to check certain variables, it must be done at the start of the event. If your event branches out, you must make several near-identical copies that account for each set of front-loaded variables

>>180990345
>no conditional branch
what the fuck how can you make ANYTHING in that?
That's like the most essential event function.

I'm having overlay problems.
My sprites glitch through my overlays...but maybe not exactly.
I tried to take a screenshot but whats happening is the sprite is becoming visible and then its switching back to the overlay, so i cant get a snapshot of what it looks like.

Kaus overlay does this.
Orange overlay does this (which is essentially the same as kaus over, this faggot took over for kaus since kaus faggot was banned for art theft)

The conflict i KNOW is being caused by alpha ABS, because if i turn it off, I dont have this problem.

So, does anyone know a fix for this?
Is there any other overlay pluggins i can try?
Are there any other ABS's i can try (aside from the currently unsupported Quadi ABS)?

CAN NOT use BindPicturesToMap. It interferes heavily with terrax lighting. If there's a way for BindPicturesToMap to work with Terrax, I'll try it.

>>180994201

Can anyone tell me what MV's window controls are, if that makes sense?

Like, for example, I know that on other rpgmaker games ALT+Enter toggles windowed/fullscreen. F1 brings up options and controls layout, F2 brings up FPS counter, F12 resets to title screen, but I've heard MV does things differently can anyone confirm?

>>181023016
F4 for fullscreen, F5 is reset, don't remember the others. I think F2 is still frame counter.

I downloaded the repack for MV in the OP, playtesting gives me a black screen.
Also compiling it and running the game gives a black screen

What do?

If you're going to make that the attack, make a strike animation happen on the enemy, push them back farther, and make them slow down instead of coming to an abrupt stop.

If possible, you don't need all of this to complete before the next action happens.

>>181031697
Thanks for the advice! Yeah just finish the battler attack animation the slash effect looks really weird

>>181031885
I also want to do something about the Player moving forward and THEN striking. The motion is too lifeless. A step-in or no movement at all would be better.

But I'm fairly certain that's a default part of the plugin you're using, so a bit harder to modify.

How are you guys planning on making your gameplay fun? Surely you're not going to have the player just walk around on paths opening chests, activating switches, and getting into random battles?

>>181045214
I'd say 90% of people use events exclusively for stuff. The javascript plugins mostly just add to the events and stuff. You don't have to use any javascript to make a game.

I can't tell if you're being ironic or not. Your writing sounds like that of a non-native speaker, but god, that mapping is terrible, too.

If you're serious, I would take a look at other games' maps to figure out how to flesh them out with more depth rather than just slapping things down randomly, and I would also suggest you write in your native language until you have a better grasp of English.

How difficult is to publish a game in Steam? a friend mentioned that MV included the publishing license and thus you didn´t have to go through the normal greenlight/steam direct method.

>>181052995
As easy as paying the 100 bucks or however much it is for the steam direct fee I guess. From what I understand it's never been easier to get on steam than it is right now.

>>181053215
Hahaha I hadn't even noticed that. Last thing I heard people were getting all bent out of shape thinking it'd be like 5000! This seems far more reasonable.

>>181053609
Yeah I'm really happy about how you no longer need to worry about pleasing steams community to get on the store. Steam checks your game themselves now and they basically just take the money you give them, check that your forms are filled out properly, run your exe once to see if it works and then you're on steam. The fee is not bad at all for being on the biggest storefront for games on the planet.

Different Anon here.
But it's flat. Not that things can never be flat. It's just boring.
Everything is spaced out in a kind of unnatural evenness, nothing overlaps.

My advice with wild vegetation is to cluster it around tree and on tall grass. Short grass should be bare, surrounding dirt and rocky patches were nothing grows.
It's not used in this example either, but there is an overlapping tree tile, that really should be used. And if you're desperate for another layer, you can use event graphics.

>>181057171
It sounds interesting desu. Or maybe a flinstones and jetsons setting. But I think Xenogears did that kind of thing.

>>181056841
Yes. It's exactly how he said. f4 (fullscreen), f5 (reset) and f2 (fps).

With yanfly's core engine you can set the game to start in fullscreen.

Would it be possible to allow battles between players? I mean like pokemon.

>>181058343
I'm using MV

>>181058343
Short answer: No
Long answer: Nooooooooooooo

I don't think MV is suited for online play at all, with the amount of work you would have to do you are far better off using a different engine.

>>181058846
I see.

Then what about local battles? I mean, importing save files to game and both players battling in the same pc?

>>181058997
no one will do it. Realistically, it's a waste of effort.

>>181047363
I can't tell if it's left to right or down and up

>>181058042
Make it a Dystopian Flintstones setting. Call it Stonepunk. The characters struggle with the ecological destruction caused by using prehistoric animals as appliances.

>>181058997
Not the other guy. Technically you can do it, but the engine isn't built with that in mind, and you will probably need to use SQL or something like that.

I would suggest you give the player the option of meeting and maybe battling previous save files in NG++. That would encourage some friends to share their save files and would enable what you want. To some extent.

>>181059893
it would work better with certain animals going extinct, grinding industries to a halt. Brontosaurus cranes dying out, meaning no more heavy lifting, mammoths dying out so farms can't be watered anymore. Invasive rabbid things coming in and harming food stores.

In my game, one sidequest can be started by finding a hidden chest in the first town. If the player does the sidequest during the prologue which is the earliest point in the game that it can be done, they will get a new party member right away, while if they do the sidequest after the prologue there will be extra steps available later in the game before the player gets the party member.

Is there anything wrong with this? I know one Touhou fangame, Genius of Sappheiros, does something similar.

I played the build that you uploaded first and I like that there are so many things you can interact with and also things like the flower in the grass outside the ruins being an encounter, but there are problems like the encounters with slime sprites don't disappear after battle and it would benefit the game if the party was fully-healed after battle. Also ghosts can spam intangibility on themselves and the very frequent status effects that lock down your party members makes battles feel like a slog.

Disregard the thing about slimes, I'm a dummy. I'm playing again with the second one you uploaded and what may have happened with that is I stepped on a flower next to a slime, and thought the battle that happened was because of the slime event.

Also I didn't finish the demo the first time. I stopped after I lost to the Suicide King and his 2 ghosts.

Thanks. That's an issue I think I can fix. There's probably way too many status effects that prevent movement and take away control without enough ways to prevent and cure them. I'd hoped the item drops would be enough to cure them but alas. Just gotta make battles less of a chore, got it.

>Also I didn't finish the demo the first time

Good thing, too, since it got horribly broken after that. Blessing of Aelion on Wren using Make It Rain shredded things on my playtests.

Can one of you mappers help me out? I'm trying to make a half natural, half man-made underground jail in MV and I keep making everything square and it looks off. Any tips or examples?

>>181098576
I did it! First time I played I kinda ignored Blessing of Aelion. And I'm glad the bed works in the second build, but imo it would be better to give the party a full heal after each battle if free healing is already so easy to get. But other than those things, it's a very nice practice demo! Especially since there's a pretty interesting story. Only complaint is status effects are way too common, especially confusion and confusion-like effects, as well as the melancholy effect that seems to have a 100% success chance.

I like to consolidate the most useful stuff around one area, at least being on the same map screen if the town happens to be that big. At the same time, that area would be relatively close to the entrance for easy access. That assumes the town is some kind of hub or relaxation area where players can rest and restock, which is usually a safe assumption. Optional lore/immersion stuff and NPC houses that exist for completeness or hints/foreshadowing can be more spread out and go wherever.

Yet, correct me if I'm wrong, local variables were never an option for how I was using them. There are places I could have used local variables, like the common $n (maybe. Likely not since it was usually getEventId shoved into there and used through long events), but everything else needed to continue and be referenced outside of the local scope.

I've never pretended to be a programmer. I just needed to do things that went beyond the capability of regular eventing and did them.

Fuck it. I'll either use the default animations or make some shitty effects in AfterEffects. This shit won't sell for even 50 cents on Steam anyway.

VX Ace problem here. Basically I fucking hate mapping in this godforsaken engine.
The way the engine counts what's ocean is pissing me off and forcing me to do away with the more natural coastlines. Basically anything that's not straight I can't land on.
Obviously I don't want to do that.
So I thought I'd do something in the vein of FF1 where you can only anchor at ports. But I'm drawing a blank as to how I can prevent landing on the currently landable tiles as I can't adjust the 4 directional passage of autotiles.
Am I just gonna have to nut up and overwrite every single land autotile with a top layer tile? That honestly sounds like hell.

Starting simple is generally the recommendation, yes.

Just pick any typical kind of fantasy story, like... You are a knight. A dragon has kidnapped the princess (or prince, we won't judge). The dragon makes its lair on the mountain past the great forest. Castle with surrounding city -> Forest dungeon -> Small forest village -> Mountain dungeon -> Dragon boss fight.

The TV/Film arms of SAG-AFTRA are expiring this month, as well, which means it may be a good time for new talent to sneak into the industry if you're a filthy scab.
Honestly, it may be a good time to burn Hollywood and start over. The Sony hack proved a lot of people at the top are just a friend-of-a-friend and straight-up incompetent

Are there any links to any of the MV DLCs that *aren't* pre-order bonuses?

There's a lot that goes into making a JRPG overworld, and while I love them to death the benefit to the player usually doesn't outweigh the time you put in to making one.

If you don't WANT to make one then by all means forego it. Plenty of good games without one.

>>180951372
Grandia was the epitome of comfy. So was Recettear; an item shops tale. Basically a laid-back more humorous plot and world with a conflict that doesn't require immediate attention and team rocket tier villains.

>>180938027
You can have a pirate

>>180970079
Seems normal. Mages imo should have more versatility than anyone else and have shit stats while Knights should be meatsticks yelling "swordchucks yo!" with great stats and be one trick ponies

>>181032316
For my first game that's exactly what I want to do. Anything else with this program seems to ambitious for a one-man show. If my game is popular, then I'll slowly add features to its sequels until I have my dream game

>>181058343
I'll say probably anon. I remember seeing a mini-mmo sandbox on youtube made with VX or VXA so it's definitely POSSIBLE.

But how do you think he makes it without being fully erect the entire time?

You'd be surprised what recycled RTP cliched vomit sells on steam for more than .50.

Sucks. The generator doesn't have a proper red hair color. You have to edit it some other way.

>>181206971
I hate this.
Do more.

>>181206971
Add a robot version of the first character somewhere in the game.

>>181206971
Holy fuck. This is so bad. I love it, MOAR.

>>181207179
>>181207543
Obviously you there's limits to what the generator can do. I found out the small eyes are suppose to be paired with glasses.

I tried some photo editing on the eggman.
Meh. Whatever. I'm done.

changed the chord progression in the second half to the generic japanese favorite, 6751, for a more upbeat sound. the old downward stepping progression sounded too mellow/tired.

Zalgo text with Yanfly's message plug-in is interesting. Since all the corrupted bit are their own characters, it sprawls out with text sound effect.

thinking of refraining from using the electric guitar for the second half's melody, because the "natural" sound of everything is kind of nice. not sure what to use instead of it yet, though.

>Can a simulator be comfy? Though maybe an rpg can't be 'comfy'
Both can be comfy. And what makes it comfy seems obvious - potential for invoking feelings of peace, well, safety and so on without invoking boredom or too much dull repetition.

>>181233980
Comfy is subjective too.

For me comfy would be being in a dangerous situation, like a zombie outbreak, but you have a perfectly safe spot (like a bomb shelter under ground)

For some reason I find that really comfy

>>180958138
Lots of lewds with a cute, cute girl who'd love greatly my customizable main character through which I could live vicariously.
Holy crap, that's absolute standard, how come you people didn't suggest it already.
