/rpgmg/ RPG Maker General #224

bump

I tried drawing my protagonist and ended up with an abomination.

I believe my hands are trying to invoke Satan.

I kinda like him. Makes me think of Newgrounds circa 2001.

He seems cool and on the good side.

do a Draw The Squad Blank first, and then add clothes/hair/details you Loomis-less turbonigger

I was honestly spooked earlier when I came here and there wasn't an /rpgmg/

>Tries to use plugins to have animated busts
>three different ones don't work for some reason
>Use events instead
Will this negatively impact the game at all?

Sometimes when the thread dies it'll be hours before somebody makes a new one.

This thread is already battered around enough thanks to Veeky Forums.
It'd be nice if we had our own board, instead of having to constantly wrestle for space.

Uh oh! Bump!

Picture bump!

Guys could you help?

I'm looking for an old RPG Maker game. I forgot its name, but it was kinda unique. It was hard, you had to heavily exploit buffs, debuffs and damage over time, especially on bosses. The game was made in VX if I remember correctly, using default assets.

It was played over several days in some dark town where everyone were killed by a mysterious corrupt force. You had to look for clues and survivors who became your party members. The starting protagonists were some generic duo - a guy and a girl. One of the party members was an old man with some constant PTSD flashbacks. He was also a chef and he had an ability called 'Shish Kabob'.

On the final day the town's underground started turning into fleshy, veiny mess and you gained access to the portal and fighted The Ancient One. The music in the final battle was this:

Bump!

Is there a full tileset for MV other than the default one? I'm getting a bit bored of it.

only problems I see are the excessively long legs and super eyebags.

hey last thread someone requested me to draw their smegma smuggler
sorry it took so long, been busy, hope you're around and like it semupai

MAKE ME WORK ON MY FUCKING GAME

Start working on some part of your game that you haven't touched yet, even if you only write it in a document. Start filling out that database.

I'm going to speculate how to fix a problem I'm faced. Help if you can.
I want to try to make a basic type of shooter minigame with Yanfly's Button Command Events plugin to trigger a common event to trigger a common event that shoots an event across the screen that if it touches another event, that event disappears.
So I'll have a parallel event to check if the event passes over another (only one bullet at a time). It'll also somehow reset the event after hitting the end of the map but I'm not sure how.
The main problem is Common Event -> Moving Map Event
I could possibly use the CE to turn on a switch that makes the parallel bullet event move forward.
Other things to think about:
>points
>enemies are events that are also reset after moving across the map (17*13)
>Unsure if it should be time or point based minigame

It's like musculation. Never stop, it gets addicting after.

It's like lactation.

Goddamnit

Both. You need to get a certain amount of point in a set time.

I would try looking in RPG Maker web for something with similar-looking resources.

The eyebags are somewhat intentional, at least. I want the protagonist to look sleep-deprived, haggard, and tired.
Ended up looking like a junkie. Oops.

Ok, my main problem is now resetting the bullet event.
I have the first page of the event is bank so the player wont see the bullet unless the hit the button.
The button calls up a common event turning on a switch.
The switch activated the second page in the event where the bullet checks the actor's XY, moves it to that position, and goes right
A parallel event checks the bullet's XY, and if the X hits the end of the map or higher , it turns off the bullet's switch, otherwise it loops
But, turning of the switch does not reset the event.

How do I reset the bullet event after the X hits the map end?

Progress:
I've learned that this
Script: $game_self_switches[[8, 15, 'A']] = falseErase Event
Is a way to reset self switches but the bullet event is not run through self switch, it's a full time switch.
Will seek further.

What else are you doing with your life?

AAAAAAAAAAA THATS AWESOME! Sorry I've been out the whole day doing adult stuff. That's really good though thanks!

I attempted to use the Call Event script in the game but it didn't have directions to call events from other maps, so I got Yanfly's event call plugin to call the bullet from another map, so theoretically I can continue to call this event to the map after it disappears, but now I need to make the event disappear.

Next I set up the bullet to only go 17 movements to the right and to erase itself it the X is 17 or higher.
I thought it didn't work but then realized I put it on a page that did not exist anymore.
Next, it sent the actor forward instead of the event called. Because when I adjusted the bullet movement it changed from this event to player.
It didn't work because then my parallel event checker that was to check the variables of the bullet event since it wasn't an event on the page.
So I moved the bullet event to the main map to see if it'd work.
....
It didn't.

I simplified the event to just be dialogue and a sprite only on a certain page, but only dialogue works.
I'm so confused.

So, who is the intended audience for your game?

People who won't immediately turn their nose up at a game made in RPG Maker. It's a very niche audience, I know.

bump for cute boys

People who like horror games with a bit more puzzles than use X on Y, and don't want every encounter to be just run away from everything.

Me. If other people like it, hey. Bonus.

>Didn't browse Veeky Forums for a while
>Decide to check on /rpgmg/
>Page 10
Glad to see that some things will never change.

Quick, think of the funniest / most dickish way to kill a character in your game.

Rocks fall on them on the way to the last boss. The party just shrugs it off, and the story moves on without them.

>Me. If other people like it, hey. Bonus.
Same here. I'm not aiming to make money or get internet famous or anything. I just want to make a game I'd want to play myself, since... well, nobody else is doing it.

And by "game" I mean "lewd game". There aren't enough lewd games out there that fit my tastes and are up to my standards. I want to do something about that.

What fetishes and how lewd are we talking?

Going to sleep now, don't die overnight.

i love this thread to death, but the sheer amount of page 10ness really hurts it

I'm still in the "planning" stage (emphasis on the quotes), so nothing is set in stone yet. Right now I'm just trying to figure out what to make, and muster the motivation to make it.

For fetishes, it's actually more about what I wouldn't include than what I would. My game will probably have a female protagonist, and most lewd games with female protagonists seem to focus on rape, which isn't my thing. I'd rather come up with a story that gives the protagonist an interest and reasons to get in lots of lewd situations, and support that with gameplay that rewards the player for seeking out those situations. My biggest fetish is good game design, so I'll be trying to do a good job with it.

Maybe the main character will be a succubus that gains experience from sex instead of combat. There might be elements of corruption, but it would be encouraged in the game rather than something to be avoided. I'm not sure what else yet so if you have any requests, feel free to toss them my way.

"How lewd" is a good question. I'm bad at art and probably couldn't afford to commission an artist, so there's not much I could do visually beyond maybe some sprites. I can write just fine, but I'm not sure text-focused lewdness would work in an RPG Maker game... or I could leave it at the "lewd but not quite explicit level", but I don't know if that would be popular. Though, I did say I was making it for myself.

I'll come up with something.

I'll do my best!

Have an NPC stand atop a castle wall. If you talk to him from behind(it's known that he hates being surprised), he'll fall off the wall and die.

If you do this during an invasion event, he'll happen to fall on an enemy seargent and kill him too, removing a midboss encounter.

The big bad has the ability to curse everyone and one guy gets a curse on him that will kill him if he joins an active group/party and he's adamant on letting you know that even though he's coming with you, You can't make him an active member. There's a point at the end of the game where you choose 2 different party setups to fight the final boss and only at this point in the game can you move him to one of the 2 groups. As soon as you move him into the group you get a scene of him dying dramatically.

If only you had remembered the seemingly invisible character that followed you earlier in the game. After beating the boss you return to town with bad news but find that the guy's sister also died, She had a curse tied to her brother where if someone were to unfortunately forget about her brothers curse and get him killed, She would also die.

Core gamers and casuals who want a comfy game with some throwbacks, but new and fresh experience.

dying.
try not to.

hey glad you like it!
if anyone else wants characters / monsters / whatever drawn just ask!

Me, half my life ago. Working through some teenage angst. I hope people who are that age enjoy it, too.

Can you do a Dragon man like this? A boy is fine too if you're not use to drawing masculinity.
Digitigrade legs are fine.
I don't have a preference for color.
A plain pose and smoulder like this will work. But a tense, savage, crouching attack pose would would better as an enemy battler. Unless you draw a boy, then maybe something more impish.
But whatever feels natural to you.
If you choose to.

Sound effect lag is a bit jarring when you have many objects meant to produce sounds next to each other. Are there any tips to reduce sound file sizes?

Bump!

I just got VX and just realized that VX ace is better but I'm on a third world internet so downloading it will take a while. Should I just go through with getting VX ace for two days straight or should I just keep using VX?

Valve really doesn't give a fuck anymore.
Why aren't you making dosh with your lewd game on Steam?

Because i have weird fetishes and they would no doubt appear in small instances. I can't make normal porn anymore.

How detailed is your worldbuilding?

What do you guys think about items with no direct indications on what they do?

I got those meds, but it requires the player to go to the inventory at least once to learn the effect.

Is it too heavy and boring for you?

I'm always a fan of having to learn what items do through using them, so I like the idea.

I'd say it depends on how it's handled.

I enjoy figuring out how a game works rather than having all the details handed to me, but if the effects are too hidden, it could get frustrating. Hints from descriptions and NPCs are good, as are visible effects of some kind, even if exactly what they mean isn't clear.

I like it, seems suited for a survival game of some kind.
If you have these as items available in battle then you should clearly say what they do after the player has learned the effects.

If you'd be interested, I'm trying to settle on a design for my protagonist, but I can't really draw worth shit. (See )
He's a young boy, neck-length hair, baggy eyes, in shorts, t-shirt, too-large boots, and a far-too-large rain jacket.

Wondering if I should use this as multiple picture images or as character sprites to keep down file size.

Too lewd

I don't know if you'd save space by storing it as multiple images, but character sprites might be a good idea if you'll ever reuse them.

This better end in some /ss/

Work on your game

You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real dad.

I'll get to it really soon, I promise. For real this time.

Nowhere near detailed enough to answer those questions, I'll be honest. I have a bad habit of assuming generic settings and making things up as I go along.

I love it when writers put real thought into their worlds, though. I should try a little harder next time I start a serious project.

It's one of the most useful tools I've come across despite the fact I want to kill myself every time I look at it.

Nice FF15 for Steam

I always wondered how much money rpg maker games make off of steam.

Can't be that much money but I'm sure those dollar indie bundles amount to something.

i'll do it tomorrow. for real.

I want to include some casino-style mini games in my game, but it is too easy to just bet all your gold and reload the save file until you win.

Anyone have advice on how to mitigate that?

Auto save after each shot is the EZ way.

Auto save after buying chips.

Control the player's ability to save-scum by restricting where they can save, and make it a pain in the ass to travel between the save spot and the casino. It's not 100% deterrent, but it weeds out the laziest of players. Also consider giving out consolation prizes, like potions and such at roughly the same price as their bet so they don't feel like it was a total waste.

This looks fun, worldbuilding is always fun, but how can it change the story is the best way to showcase it.
