You'd think OPs would be a little more involved with the general to know what's going on. Check to see if the urls even work. Know what day it is.
Especially if they're going to make cracks /rpgmg/ being lonely.

Get the full version installer from the release thread in the official RPGMV forums. The version you get from the frontpage probably works too.

Put this executable next to the original one or replace the original one with it. Whatever you like. And remember, if you like it and have the money, go and buy it!

"Research". Making a sci-fi/fantasy game inspired by 80's~90's anime of that type, so looking into the kind of fashion/design themes that were common at the time.

They were mostly milieu stories with characters from earth crossing over for whatever reason to a fantasy world. So the MCs were almost always in school uniforms, if they were girls.

If it was high fantasy, guys wore bomber jackets.
Low fantasy, outfits were plain tunics. Priestly robes or breastplates.
Honestly, fantasy conventions haven't changed, just the pantones.

Scifi today is more sexy skinsuits and power-armor. Back then it was jumpsuit/overalls. The idea was that space culture didn't really have "fashion". Climate control makes jackets, shorts, and other seasonal items obsolete.

I like that you consistently post screens of your shit
but
What does it look like in motion?
Do you intend on the level trope changing at some point?
Is there any sort of story, characters?
Aside from placing, selling, and presumably upgrading towers, what control does the player have?
What's Mana for?

Sell me on this why I should play this over other tower defense games.
Oh, and why have three enemy paths if they're all the same general length and shape?

>>186060808
there could've been a plot, but i'm too lazy to bother with it. releasing it quickly is more important. the plot was going to be:
>kingdom has ancient dupe spell
>dupe spell on heroes to defend kingdom against constant monster attacks
>evil guy uses dupe spell on monsters to attack kingdom
>party about to kill evil guy
>"hmmph ignorant fools; king is the real evil"

>evil guy's village used as test subjects for kingdom's dupe spell
>rip village
>evil guy's been out for revenge
>each time someone's duped, lose some life force

>join forces with not so evil guy to attack castle and king
>big battle with lots of duping on both sides
>party defeats king
>party dies shortly after, from all the duping
>no more dupe spell forever; peace restored
>end
would've been pretty cool with the plot twist and bittersweet ending

supposed to finish it quickly enough for it to be a worthwhile time investment, though. so far, it's been ~3 months, which is slower than i had hoped.

What do you guys think about a game with no permament party members?
You will have to hire or convince other adventurers to join you for a quest.
Some of them will refuse to go on specific quests(no dungeons for the claustrophobic guy).

>>186077734
It's an interesting idea, but could potentially be very obnoxious. Also, how would the party interact when there's potentially six billion different configurations?

>>186077734
So, like Atelier Rorona? I didn't like that very much, but who knows? There's possibly people out there that like the mechanic.

>>186077924
Obviously there will be a small number of party members, I'm thinking 6 and you can take up to 3 on each quest. Also it will be light on storytelling.
>>186079152
Haven't heard of that one, I can check it out to know what not to do.

>>186062976

What do you mean? Like Pokemon where all your fighters are optional.
That's fine. You still have train them.

I have played a SIM game where you run a bar. As you spend money and add more expensive drinks, tables, ect...better recruits appear. Those recruits go as far as they can into a dungeon but they'll ultimately die. You're just grinding for money, to get better stuff, to get farther into the dungeon, to make more money, to get better stuff.
It looks like an RPG. But the characters themselves don't progress, it's the bar. This is what you'd call "rpg-elements". Once you get further along, you can custom equip recruits with a small selection of amulets for more Mana or Sleep-Poision immunity which are what ultimately ends most dungeon expeditions- they last longer, net you more money.
But it's all optional. The name of the game isn't efficiency. There's nothing rewarding about the dungeons. just higher levels means more money faster. But you could theoretically MAX the Bar out by repeating the lower levels enough time. That's what makes it a SIM and not an RPG.

There will be no levels, esentialy you are LV1 the entire game.
It's going to be all about the equipment(interchangeable between heroes).
I'm thinking of unequipping everything at the end of a mission.
Maybe upgrade a hero by doing his quest or something(nothing major).

>>186088710
>Maybe upgrade a hero by doing his quest or something(nothing major).
this scales very badly as you get more characters. There's a reason Suikoden never did it, and even those games were pretty stuffed with party members.

I hope equipping is not going to be an exercise in pain?

yeah, mv. it'll lag if you have too many attacks occuring at once
>constantly creating new windows for the damage popups

>then removing them from the scene
or if there have been ~4000 enemies spawned. The event cloning script I use just erases events in the same manner RM erases its traditional events, so it actually gets kept in memory.
I do have solutions to both, but I'm likely going to just be keeping the stage lengths short enough to not hit the 4000 mark. The damage popup lag is something I need to get to eventually, though.

Sounds pretty boring desu, I like the idea of having my characters get stronger regardless of what they're wearing

Anyone here use Smile Game Builder?

>>186092789
The DRM system they used compresses the executable, so this is probably close to the original size.

MV is basically a HTML5 game creation tool. That's how it can be completely cross platform. But the downside is that it has to embed an entire browser engine for each platform. This bloats the file size. Note that deploying a completely empty RPGMV game for Windows gives you a 46MB .exe file: that's because the browser engine is just that big (Chrome's engine weighs in at about 49MB).

You can reduce the file size of the game executable (or most other executables, for that matter) by using UPX, a tool that compresses executables.

>>186093654
I am trying it out currently, making 3D models is hard.

>>186096015
hard as in you need to learn a bunch of things or hard as in the UI is not helpful?

>>186096761
Well the 3D character maker for Smile Game Builder is only the default blocky characters which I have no interest in whatsoever. So if you don't want those then you have to learn a bunch of things.

>>186093274

Would you be interested in playing a game made entirely out of sliding ice puzzles?

>>186097458
You can do RPGs without levels, as long as your characters get stronger over time you don't have to have levels.

>>186097674
Sliding ice puzzles are fine but a whole game of them? How long is the game?

>>186097096
It seems to support 2d flat sprites, so you can start from there and work your way up, I guess.

>>186097674
No, I wouldn't.

I don't mind RPGs without levels, including stat gains. I vastly prefer games where equipment is the main focus even.

When you want to reduce your character's damage so that you can make a combo video, you just wear garbage equipment.

When you want to force a gameover so you can get the rape ending, you just remove your armor and spam defend.

When you want to do a challenge playthrough, you don't need to enforce wishywashy soft rules to circumvent level ups reducing the challenge difficulty.
>you're only allowed to reach THIS level in THIS area
You just keep using the same equipment from start to finish.

I also find it a lot more fun improving your equipment than it is to improve your characters. Like even if you have a stat-allocation system, choosing to put points into STR isn't as satisfying as
crafting a weapon, then perhaps enhancing its upgrade level, and slotting gems into it. Maybe you can fuse items into that base weapon, and change its internal properties. Maybe there are equipment skill interactions that make particular equipment sets optimal.

>>186088970
I'll try to keep party members to a minimum.
Equipping takes less than a minute.
>>186093274
As this anon said >>186097818 I can work something out.

>>186099303
That sound pretty good, but i want to make sure that equipment is not mutually exclusive.
Sword 2 can't be better in every way compared to Sword 1.

I want the most generic, trope filled RPG maker game ever. Can someone point me in the right direction?

>>186097818
Careful.
Levels are just plateaus that still involve character stats. That's the real character progression. There's a difference between Character growth and Equipment Upgrading.

It's like >>186082592 SIM games.
A racing Sim. You race for prize money, you upgrade your car, to enter more races, to win more money, ect...
The car isn't a character.
Weapons aren't character growth.

Is this idea worth it?
Making the game episodic and free and ask for donations to support the game?

There are a few issues I'd be getting with making this all on one package, like having to beta test a hours long game just to fix some text over and over again, amongst other engine-specific things like stuttering and lag.

>>186100553
>mutually exclusive
what did he mean by this

>>186102224
>worth
no

your work is definitely commercial-worthy. just persevere, and i guess optimize the way you playtest things.

>>186102224
This. >>186102427
If I had money I would throw it at you, but since I'm broke I can only offer advice. One of the best ways to play-test things later in your game is to make a debug room that you always start out in. You can test anything you like in that room without messing up anything else in the game. And if you need to test something in a later part, you can set a transfer event to wherever you need to go and just turn on switches and change variables manually to whatever you need them to be. It's what I do and it works quite well. I also have an in game save to make ABSOLUTELY sure things work in context.

Though do make sure you remove the debug room or place the player where you need them to start at haha. I've almost forgotten to do that a few times.

>>186077734
If you're gonna do that, here are my suggestions

Characters aside from protag don't level up or have equipment other than maybe accessories
They're all tagged with easy to understand classes and roles
Perma-death
Protag's death is instant game over
Protag can have his class chosen at the start of the game and may have one opportunity (or rare opportunities) for a reclass/promotion
Have negative party member traits like claustrophobia be easily conveyed as well, such as pacifist healer being unable to attack, or arachnophobic knight running away if he gets hit by a spider. Basically nothing too complex.

IIRC, LISA 1 also runs on a temp allies only system. I also recommend you look into popular roguelikes for handling impermanent and probably random content

Okay, thanks for the advice.
I'll try to improve on the ways I playtest things.

don die pls

I'm working on a game entirely in the basic UI's graphics, it's laughably bad and it's grown on me.

I'm talking 8 tables in a row, clearly separate, and all characters act like it's some harry potter full length table. Clothesracks treated like punching bags. roasted pigs growing in a garden and everyone tells you it's totally pumpkins.

My question is this: If I want to make the game free for a bit cause I think it's campy and fun, is there any licensing I can do so I can make it stay mine, no reproduction or redistribution, and reserve the rights to make it commercial one day?

I want to be able to give it away for free, or charge for it, but keep it as mine no matter which I do. Too many spooky stories of people's games suddenly getting remaid and showing up on adultswim.com or something

>>186102237
Is that the wrong way to use it? And I did give an example of what I meant.

>>186112915
You could release it for free on Steam and later release a remastered version or something.

>>186103827
You say some pretty nice things, maybe limiting equipment is a good idea.
Perma-death is too hardcore for me, I'm thinking if they get knocked out, they won't be able to adventure for a while.
The protag will be a prim and proper priest(the only one), so that the party always has heal and cure.
I've got a lot of research to do, not really familiar with this.

>>186115158
Perhaps Paladin would be better for protag, you'd have both healing and steady damage

Maximum length for random encounters?
Minimum time between them?
Was thinking a minute or two for a situation where you get fucked up a little, and 10-15 steps between encounters.

Hell. No.
Randumb encounters should be few abd far between.
10-15 steps feels like every other step, add another zero to that unless your game is one coridor.

>>186103827
kind of like FFT/FFTA, with one to three main characters and the rest you recruit them, except with stuff like permadeath?
I like how this guy puts it
>>186103827
Except for the non-leveling thing
But that's just a personal prefference cause I'm a slut for grinding.
It can be very interesting if you manage to make it balanced only with the equipment (characters that aren't the MC should be very different and with many different abilites and whatnot)
Now that I think of it, MH doesn't use levels and it's grindy as fuck. If you add procedurally generated allies with different perks to it you're giving it a shit-ton of replayability

Enables faster grinding for those who are into that. They're practically synonymous. More exp, gold, items, etc. if the encounters are good for those.

Lads, where should I begin with my project? I already have a basic plot, the conflict and the backbone. I also have a battle system on mind, but I dunno where to actually start building the game. Should I make the main character's sprites first? Should I make maps? I feel so lost.

>>186133676
Personally I'd start on the battle system and get the basic mechanics working before doing art or mapping, but that's just me. Once you know how fights and stuff will go, you'll know how many sprites you need to make, for example.

The more I invested in rpgm, the more I think I should learn about GMS or anything else really.
Especially when I have an artist/animator.

Once you have a basic design and don't give a shit, you can focus on plot. Fix battle system as you go, since tinkering is a fun way to cut writer's block and doubts

>>186104672
Trying to brainstorm some ideas for hidden animations or cutscenes the player could find when doing something like peeking through a hole.
I'm usually working with suggestive or comedic stuff, might even add something really hidden just to mess with dataminers.

If you want me to drop your game 10 minutes into the first dungeon, sure.

With very few exceptions, random encounters should be either FAST or RARE. Yours don't qualify as either. It would be a horrible slog, and I would not tolerate it from anything coming after the 16 bit era.

There's no point, it's just a different engine, and arguably, a less flexible one at that. You can change the entire engine code of RPGMV, you can't do that with GMS. GMS also limits you to their scripting language, RPGMV uses JS for which there is just vastly more stuff available.

>>186182378
I don't know anon, I'm not convinced GMS is less flexible than RPGM. The workflow is much better too and it doesn't have the performance issues RPGM has. Also while you're talented/knowledgeable you'll surely be able to do any kind of game on RPGM, but it would be like jumping through hoops. While I'm making a VN/JRPG I would like to make something different in the future as well.

morning bump

>>186183224
The performance issues probably stem from the fact that it's browser-based, GMS isn't. You do have a point there, though there's ways to optimize performance in MV, at least.

> Also while you're talented/knowledgeable you'll surely be able to do any kind of game on RPGM
Well, unlike RPGMV, GMS doesn't really give you any tools... you'll have to work entirely from scratch, so it's not easy, either. At least when you stick to an RPG formula, RPGM can help.

First time poster here, quick question:

I started on a game in VX Ace several years ago, got maybe two hours of in-game time into it before abandoning it due to RL stuff. Now that I can start again, would it be better to start it all over again in MV, or just stick with VX? What does the former do that the latter doesn't?

MV has performance issues. The plugins are made in Javascript instead of Ruby. There's also mobile deployment and vanilla mouse support.
Can't speak for VX Ace addons, but Yanflies plugins was the argument for MV in my case.

>Well, unlike RPGMV, GMS doesn't really give you any tools... you'll have to work entirely from scratch, so it's not easy, either. At least when you stick to an RPG formula, RPGM can help.
Sure, but to make anything better/different that literally a carbon copy of what RPGM intended, you'll have to learn how to do it by yourself too.
Here and here it's time invested.

It's definitely possible! The only issue is the whole "not enough room" thing, unless it's tied entirely to the map. Unless MV offers some sweet new tools for this kind of shit that I'm not aware of, you'd have to have something like
>if player's X coordinate is >10
>- if player's X coordinage is <15
>-- if player's Y coordinate is >20
>--- if player's Y coordinate is <25
...for every potential "not enough room to pitch tent" area on every map. (Or, alternately, do that for every area where you CAN pitch the tent. Whichever is less common.)

The easier way to do it would be to have certain designated suitable camp sites where the player just gets a pitch tent y/n prompt when they come across them. But of course that's also more boring.

I would probably use region numbers to accomplish that. Allow the tent to be placed on region 5 and then just place region 5 where you want the tent to be placed.

I would go full on plugin though and use region events with button mapped events. "T" would open the tent on specified regions only.

A yanfly plugin. One of the early collaborators picked it. I'm not a fan of it. The way the boxes open and close seems choppy. Plus, I learned not to use the Enter key to advance text. You need to use the spacebar or "C".
Holding Enter is the Fast forward button. So of couse Taping it every line just make the FPS go haywire, took me a while to figure out what was going on.

MV users, I have a question. Does MV make an executable for your game? As far as I can tell, it just makes an HTML file that you can play in your browser. If I were to make a game in MV, does that mean I couldn't distribute it on Steam?

There could also be poisons that do different things. People think of poison as just a DoT but poisons can do a lot of different shit. A bunch of animals' venom focuses on paralysis over straight death, and plenty of plants have hallucinogens and such for confusion or berserk effects. Think of any debuff or negative state and you can probably find a poison to cause it (Ifrit's blood setting people on fire totally counts as poison if you get it inside them); maybe with a "debuff over time" effect where stat penalties get worse the longer the fight goes. Shoot, you might even give the guy battle drugs as risky buffs.

Depends on how the battle system works I guess, but I always like when games use poison as more than just some damage every turn.

What do you guys think of front view vs side view?

>>186390706
I think front view is a taint upon the world, but a lot of people seem to prefer their static characters taking up most of the screen.

Side view just has so much more room for animation, although I hear 7th dragon makes front view with animations work.

>>186390706
I choose front view due to the immersion value. It makes the encounters feel much more personal and intimidating, and you have a full view of what you're going against. Even better if the enemies are animated.

Either way is fine as long as you make it look good.

>>186393170
>There's no excuse for half-assing it now.
But. They. DO.

You almost never see the character actually perform the attack, it's all explosions and particle effects.

>>186391924
This. Also often much faster battles with instant attacks and effects.

Is there a way to go over the set 2000 limit for switches/variables/etc?

>>186393306
If they halfass a front view system that much, they were probably not going to be very creative if they did end up using side view, either.

>>186395043
the problem is that they still sell. Just look at etrian odyssey.

>>186394338
There was a Yanfly plugin that let's you use self switches as switches, maybe there's something about variables in there too.

>>186394338
Is the limit in mv seriously only 2000? Vx ace lets you use 5000. Which might of course still not be enough if you have a long game.

>>186395164
Eh, I don't think that's a "problem". EO isn't a huge budget game, and the draw isn't the graphics. Unless you're Square Enix, you have to pick what you use your resources on.

>>186396647
So who DOES do animated front view? I mean, in recent years.

>>186394338

Seriously how in the world did you max out 2000 variables? I could understand capping out on the 250 map limit maybe if you had a lot of changing in your world but 2000 variables you'd need to have a variable for every action. What are you using all those variables on?

>>186368690
It's ok. It's not set in stone or anything. Once we have more of the story figured out we can go back and reshape it.

The early chapters were intentionally vague. Like when the king orders to use "that" method for dealing with the Shadowfey.

My idea is that the King is harvesting shadowfey by turning them into gold. Kinda like how the Homunculus in Full Metal Alchemist were susceptible to Alchemy and were defeated by changing their composition, like water into gas.

So Dahl is going to reveal The Midas Touch, that petrifies prideful things into gold. His end game would be to use it on "It" who think's itself "perfection". However, It's true body is in space. Not only would something in that amount
render the value of Gold worthless, it would be dangerous if it ever fell to earth. Although, there would be poetic justice in a Kingdom being destroyed by a Solid Gold Meteor. I'm hoping someone takes it in that direction.

>>186399997
Better question would be why would you use the worst RPG maker in 2017?

>>186400950

>>186399997
Ok. So like, You got a picture right? The Picture is a Bitmap, m'kay. The picture is displayed inside the bitmap's boundary. So you tie the bitmap's width to HP variables.
So as the HP goes down, the bitmap gets smaller and cuts off more of the bar.

Etrian Odyssey has been one of the leading Front View games for a long time, It's pretty popular although i think side view is just far more nostalgic and it's rare to accomplish front view battling as well as Etrian Odyssey does.

T-thank you anon, I like you too

>>186413978
O-oh gosh.
With nice looking battlers like these I wonder how your maps look like.

>>186413507
Popularity is relative. Maybe in Japan were handheld gaming is a success. But in the US, nobody outside of RPG fan sites will have heard of EO. I'm willing to bet, if I went to my local game store, it wouldn't even be on the shelf.

It's certainly can't hold a candle to Pokemon.

I'm not sure yet.
I'm a big fan of those not-quite-horror puzzle RPG Maker games, though. Ib, Bevel's Painting, Chloe's Requiem, etc.
So I usually spend a bit of time going through rpgmaker.net and searching through the horror section, downloading each one, and then randomly pick one to play.

Sometimes they're good, which is fun!
Sometimes they're mediocre, which is still a nice timewaster.
Most of the time they're awful badly-written tripe with MSPaint graphics and cliche jumpscares, though, which is even more fun.

does your game have any promo art yet?

>>186436480
Not yet but surely one day!

Did this face come with any pack? She's really cute

>>186440070
No. that's Archeia/Lacroa's OC from Princess Princess

>>186413507
but that's my point exactly. EO doesn't have shit for animations, not the original, not the untold versions. They prefer having over-detailed, static images that remain the same throughout the entire game. Only the FOEs ever move at all, and they aren't exactly the peak of animation quality. The rest are just the cheap "breathing" warp crap that I'd rather gone if it would save a little more battery.

>>186046289
oooh gerraint and argenta

Would you play a game consisting of a semi-open world with plenty of NPCs and sidequests where you travel around with a tent? Would you play it if it had no combat and merely involved socialization and puzzles? How do I make this interesting?

>>186445264
Sure I would play it, but the characters and the puzzles would need to be really interesting.
Probably with different character routes and different reactions from your party depending on what you did at the puzzle sections and what you said beforehand to them.

Alright. Now. I want you guys to nominate Spirit Animals for the collab game. I'll put your suggestions into a hat and draw from it.

You have until I come back from my walk. I fully anticipate no one will respond by then. If that's the case, I'll go with a Triceratops. Possibly with dildos for horns.
It depends how much I hate you. .

why am i so gdlk

:31's chord in particular is sexy af; instead of playing the 6's chord as a minor, used a major instead

>>186445264
If you make Layton x Persona, it'll be a best-seller WITHOUT A DOUBT.

A says B is telling the truth
B says A can't stand near any red-haired people
C says he has three umbrellas
D says he needs two people to balance the scale

How different triangles are there when you re-arrange A, B, C and D?

And the winner is Alligator

creating lore for a sci-fi jrpg is fucking hard like the amount of effort it takes is incredible even only doing around 3-4 planets as a setting but still creating the organizations, plot, character relations is tough as balls and even coming up with names that sound cool is tougher than i thought but is still enjoyable

At least you are having fun, right?

Was the heroine fantasy pack for MV ripped? I don't see it in the pastebin unless it's bundled with something else.

Should I make up my own afterlife or borrow from existing mythologies?

What would be the easiest way to hide easter eggs in my game from dataminers?

Say I want to put some special enemies akin to the Fiends in SMT or Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon, but I really, really don't want players to know they exist.

>>186460597
Patch them in a week after launch.
Or make them available via super convoluted means and throw in some red herrings in there too. But...
>I really, really don't want players to know they exist.
Then what's the point of putting something in a game if it's not gonna be seen at ALL. Just don't put it in then if that's the case. Though if you meant you don't want DATA MINERS to know they exist then that's a bit more difficult unless you literally include secrets in a game that don't lead to anything, then patch in the final parts later after release. But really though I don't think people care THAT MUCH to datamine some rando rpgm game.

>>186420115
>It's certainly can't hold a candle to Pokemon.
Lol. If the worst you can say about a game is that "it can't compete with one of the biggest franchises of all time" then you don't have a leg to stand on.

>>186460597
Data miners will find anyting and everything. It's why TCRF exists.

Call me crazy, but this is what I would do:

>Player meets crazy conditions for secret enemy
>Game pings a server to download the enemy in the background
>Scene of dialogue
>By the time the scene is over, the download should be complete
>Enemy literally doesn't appear on your hard drive until you've unlocked the fight
Now all you need is a why to protect that process from dataminers (what does the game send out to the server to get the enemy data? A password? Does it send out what system switches are on/off?)

>>186461208
>>186462050
Well, maybe not actually protecting the game from DataMiners. The game probably won't even have its own wiki unless I make mine, judging from similar games. But I wouldn't like the existence of these secrets to be easily found by looking in the image folder and I wouldn't like the way to find them to be figured out with one look at the json files.
