What are the most important traits in a hero?

(serious question. I need to put them as trackable variables to check who is the most "heroic" character at any given time)

I'm just too shy to be the OP

same; as a newcomer, i don't know what it means to make one.

Time to post your progress Anons

Been drawing some weapons this afternoon.

any good RGSS tutorials you guys know?

I just didn't want to shill the podcast again

A hero needs to put others before themself. That could be Kindness, Wisdom, Mercy, Generosity, etc. Do they go far out their way to help those in need? Do they show restraint in emotionally charged situations? Do they compliment people, even if those people show poor fashion choices? How good are they at resolving disputes? If they're racist, do they let it affect their work, or do they soften up? Do they use the Grant-Any-Wish MacGuffin to cure a sick child, instead of on wealth or power? There's a million ways to tackle it, as there's a million situations where a person can be a hero

Anyone still need Katakura Hibiki's Lords of Darkness Pack?

I'm listening to the latest podcast right now and I'm glad that they got it together again.
Anyways I think my least favorite villains are the ones who taunt you needlessly throughout the game like "Muhahaha you weaklings will never kill my [Henchman number 3]" or "Muhaha you were too late to get [magical trinket]. Now it's mine."

yeah...

I like it

What is the most Bethesda thing you have ever done?

Looks pretty good

I made this interface with a tileset instead of pictures because I didn't want to bother with positioning everything with xy coordinates.

you mean like making huge sprites to make events work as a second parallax layer?

Anyone know how to make it so an event will only move towards a player when the character isn't facing them? Using RPG Maker VX Ace.

youtube.com/watch?v=bavZbQHbuOk
Here comes a little motivation
Turn on the subtitles

1. make the enemy face the player

2. if (player facing up and enemy facing down
or
player facing down and enemy facing up
or
player facing left and enemy facing right
or
player facing right and enemy facing left)

do nothing, since they are facing each other

else

step forward once

Thanks. It's not an enemy though. It's an orb of light I'm making for a puzzle room in the first major dungeon in the game. You have to get the orb to a certain spot. When that happens, the door unlocks and the orb vanishes. However, the room is built like a maze and you can't move the orb by touching it. So you have to find a way to guide the orb through the maze without it causing you to be trapped in a dead end. You can talk to the orb and it'll reset the room.

Oh, I'm pumped up! Time to dev!

>spend the whole day drawing and coloring a fancy background for onscreen stats
>in game it ends up microscopic and you can't see practically any of the detail at all
Why do I even bother?

Which professional RPGs do you draw inspiration from?

Lately I've been itching to do a lot of golden sun-style puzzles.

The Final Fantasy series (1 through 6 and Tactics), The Dragon Warrior games for the NES and SNES. A lot of NES and SNES era RPGs really. Right now I'm changing the class system in my game to resemble the one from Suiken Densetsu 3.

How is your character affected by the story?

Lucasarts and Telltale adventure games. They're not exactly en vogue right now, but the databasing and crunch is somewhat simpler, so I can focus on writing and other fun stuff. Maybe later I'll graduate to having actual combat.

By the end of the game you either murder an innocent person by helping your friend or you do the ethically right thing but lose someone you care for.

The Ar Tonelico series is a really mediocre rpg. But I like the blend of Visual Novels elements. I was obsessed with it's milieu and mysteries for a long time. I want to take it's fantasy world mechanics and do my own thing with it.

>Saga series
>Earthbound
>Xenogears

Ar tonelico mostly. I like the fantasy aspects and how some mechanics are mixed with the setting.

I liked Dark Souls Gift character creation choice. I implemented something similar for my game but I offer fewer consumable option choices and instead offer early access to certain Key Items. Things like a mirror that lets you see ghosts that offer Dark Souls message style vague advice in dungeons, a Magic Rope that lets you go down into wells and deep pits, a key that is important to a quest, etc. You can find all this stuff normally during the game, but if pick the right gifts you can get into a few higher level places early if you want to.

For all it's worth I like it user.

Recettear
Deus Ex
Ace Attorney
Yeah, these are not strictly RPGs but I don't care.

I'm going to assume this is how robot boys consume icecream.

grats on your first? r34

New track baby! Also been fixing maps and loading tunes into the game.

soundcloud.com/mondo-nugget/mystic-future-the-icy-wastes

TOO LEWD

Oh my

Here's hoping I get some R34 done for my game. I'm a total perv...so I accept it.

I have some disconnect where I just don't sexualize things that I'm already aware of in other contexts. Porn is all well and good, but in my mind, lewd things simply do not happen behind the scenes in non-lewd stories.

I can see your point, I just don't feel the same. A lot of people are different. I look at porn for just about everything I'm interested in, yet I have a brother who refuses to look at porn all together.

I'm making an H-game where the protagonist is in his senior year and his goal before graduating is to create a harem and to captivate as many love interests as possible and in the end, create a huge orgy.

What kind of characters would you like to be love interests? Keep in mind, this is a school setting although not everyone has to be in student.

What about in stories where stuff is implied?

I like shy girls and yanderes, although a yandere wouldn't be a good choice for a harem.

Does the MC have some bullshit power like hypnosis? If so, I'd like to request a tsundere, It feels great breaking them.

If not, a chuuni would be good. Way too few in games.

Yandere that has all the information on the other girls and the main character is forced to go to her whenever he wants to check the stats or know more about them of other love interests.

Her love sharpens everytime he talks to her.

A girl that is actually a guy pretending to be a girl because they're a pervert just like you

[drawing other people's characters instead of redrawing my own] bump

Your opinion is what's mediocre.

Except for the fact the series isn't actually fantasy, but sci-fi. Everything in it has an explanation in the series' universe's own form of science instead of chalking stuff up to unseen forces or handwaving it as "a wizard did it".

Ah you're right that was my mistake there. But shouldn't it be more Sci-fantasy since it mixes a bit of both and try to explain it with the science of that world?

Truly a revolutionary piece of software

Okita does things to my dick

Today's soundtrack:
youtube.com/watch?v=Sz07wNL1plU

I think that most people play in fullscreen, so it isn't wasted (it might look a bit like shit rescaled though.).

...

That brings me back

One more portrait done! On to the next one!

eeep
I love it!
Thank you user! saved it!

Like FFX's pyerflies, and Tales of the Abyss's Phozons. Ar Tonelico's "wave science" is a fantasy world mechanic like how Star War's midichlorians power of The Force.

And no, Star War's isn't sci-fi.
Science Fiction is speculative fiction that focuses on the use of technology. It's not a setting. They made up the term Science Fantasy just to make people happy.
A story with spaceships.
A story about spaceship.

Ar Tonelico's stories involve using "feelings" to shape the world. The tower acting as a "server" for cosmospheres sounds similar to The Matrix and Virtual Reality. But on closer inspection it's based on collective unconsciousness and planes of existence, vibrating crystal energy, shit that came straight out of the New Age book section.

By enemy he means event.

How would yo go about mapping a mountain with the MV RTP?

lots of cliffs of varying heights. "lots" and "varying" being key words.

Okita?

So I had to uninstall Steam from my computer and I hear that you can't run RPG maker without it. Is that still true?
If I buy RM from their website so I can access it offline, I have to pay again?

What's the best RPGmaker if all i want to make are maps?

That picture has Fate's rendition of Souji Okita, a.k.a, Sakura Saber.

I think people say XP, because it has more layers.

I'm going to say if your game resolution is covered by VXA, then use VXA. If you need higher, then use MV. They just have different quirks to them.

Currently using MV and being my first RPGmaker it seem a bit too blocky.

>rtp is blocky
The others will be just as bad. See

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Progress so far on my first pass. Obviously still a long way to go.

just make sure your tiles actually make sense. rpg maker can't be trusted with autotiling itself properly.

I do

Looks nice to me, user-kun.

We must not die yet /rpgmg/!

Bump 2

drive.google.com/open?id=0B8wON8Oiau1eTEY2Q3lxZGwxNGM

Here ya go.

I want to implement a calendar system. While this is nothing new, (Harvest Moon, Persona) I want important events to happen in specific dates and to have repercussions (Not game over) should you fail to clear the objective in time, while leaving the player with no more clues than the usual "It's urgent! You should do it ASAP". Is this a good idea? Is there any game who has done this before, from which I can take a reference?

You sound like you got the right idea. I'd make the warning 3 or so days before the deadline though, at least in most cases.

Ok then... not counting edits, I guess these are about all the portraits I'll need for the main characters on this demo.
On to finish the villain one and then I can get to finish the dungeon.

Goddamn, these characters are way too sexy

Polandball RPG. This looks pretty fun.

Ugh I HATE Polandball

I need those hips in my life.

Guess this is /rpgmg/ - Robots edition, then.

bump

Ok. It's time.

I like it, you really hit the atmosphere of a (relatively relaxing) ice level.

Either a nurse or a female teacher, don't forget the stockings.

bump

Trying to get rid of the name box during dialogue, but can't figure out a way to display character names inside potraits without blocking too much of the picture.

bump

Maybe vertical on the left? Due to faces being much thinner than shoulders, there is always a bit of blank spaces in bust pictures.

You guys are my only friends

I understand the pain.

/rpgmg/ discord server skype group or steam group when
I think itd work well considering ths general is pretty small and even /agdg/ has a steam chat

I have steam, but this computer refuses to run Discord or Skype. The only decent video chat software it runs is oovoo.

Yet wave science has set rules that are taken from the wave-particle duality from this world and that behave in predictive ways just like the elemental particles and waveforms us here. To want to chalk it up to mere fantasy and dismiss it as such is the epitome of ignorance and stupidity.

i've seen people talk about it more than once, and other people say it'd just make the threads die much more easily.

so it's not necessarily "even /agdg/ has a steam chat" it's more like "/agdg/'s able to have a steam chat"

Actually, is there a way to move the name box further to the left? Yanfly's Message Core only aligns it to the left but doesn't allow me to set a position manualy.

It's not an RPG but the story in these songs inspired me.

Part 1: Princess

Part 3: Princess's regret

Part 4: Servant's hell and re-birth
youtu.be/gNWAIJk2pEE

They all tell one story if you watch them in order.

I guess steam chat was a bad example since thats always live chat 100% of thd time while discord snd steam can be delayed. And I don't think it would hurt the thread overall , if anything it'd let anons have a closer bond and organization which would make up for slight decrease in posts.

Work continues. Current task is finding all the spots where the platform heights don't line up properly.

adgdg steam chat would just be a bunch of losers though

Is it possible for a main character to develop a personality while being still sort of a self insert?

I mean this by restricting certain choices as his "personality" forms, according to dialogue choices, which events he triggers and his relationships with the rest of the party.

Dunno how to put it, I guess the closest that comes to my mind is the VN Rewrite's MC. I'd be happy to create someone similar.

agdg steam chat is where all the real devs go instead of the thread
