Undertale's 9th Anniversary wasn't too long ago.Are you developing a fangame? Do you think you'll finish it before the next chapters release? Share progress.
>>3670103There was one guy who made one theme for Oldentale anon and another for Naranjanon, I have no idea if he is still here tho, there is probably other threads on /v/ or /vrpg/ where you can ask for this
>>3670103>>3670181I am here, yes. What did you need?
>>3670528Just curious about how to make a good song for a game
>>3632602I really need to stop underestimating how much time adding these new elements will take, anyways I finally added overworld menus to Naranja, next I'll focus on creating save points and lastly a more proper tutorial battle with a different enemy
>>3670577I'm only a beginner myself so I might not be the best person to ask. Maybe learn music theory. I did eventually learn that sound balancing is extremely important. Low passes, high passes, relative volume, it helps a ton. Always keep filters and equalizers close.
Why do most JRPGs prefer the status quo over anything else? And I'm not referring to "god bad" trope, which is also overused. But at least there is SOMETHING.Devil Survivor 2 as a example, is very notorious for this.>any other ending makes a everchanging impact to the world and is considered taboo by some characters>the "true" ending is just revert it back to normal and is considered virtuousIn NG+, the true ending gives you 100 points unlike other endings which they are 30.It also has the message of:>humanity are powerful, there are no flaws in humanity, what they do is amazing, etcDespite the shit going on in-game.
>>3661004Fascism is a specific ideology that arises as a reaction to 1920s era communism. Stop sucking Umberto Eco's dick.
>>3668989See shit like this is why I've always said that young conservatives today aren't actually conservative. Conservatism was always built on preservation and more importantly, being grateful for what you have and that you weren't born into a third world shithole and thus were raised by and reaped the benefits of a society actually worth preserving. As the conservative philosopher Sir Roger Scruton said, "Conservatism starts from the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created."Most young conservatives today aren't that, they ultimately have the same mindset as leftists, they just play for the other team. Both ultimately still want to tear the system down because it isn't benefitting THEM enough. I think many of them, on both sides, just genuinely hate their own country.
>>3669441For Strange Journey Redux, it's the Zelenin, Jimenez gaining back some of their humanity to realize their ideal world since absolute Law led to diminishing returns that wiped out humanity because there were those that didn't listened to gods brainwashing and to be purged until there was nothing left to purge. Jimenez realize that human strength is worthless against demons and the fact his fusion with Bugaboo mean deep down he was always a weakling and decided to instead use possibility as the means that rules the new world.
>>3660850Usually the RPG world is considered an idealistic world with the evil being the source of all problems so when defeated there is no longer a reason for change. In dystopian world the status quo would be the world before it became dystopic so to do any other ending it would have to be an alien premise unrelated to the main story.
>>3669477Technically law and chaos are legit just “person in charge and wants to stay in charge” and “person that is not in charge but wants to be” respectively.
>look for examples of dungeon crawler titles because I want to try getting into the genre>top 25 list>Gamestop>second game mentioned is Binding of IsaacDisgusting.I'm already aware of the most prominent titles of the genre, I guess I want to know about the non-obvious ones I may be overlooking.I also want to ask: what do (you) like about the genre? It seems to encompass some very different games; which elements are most important to you?
>>3659593Most of the RPGs I know of involving dungeon crawling is some CRPG blogging autist calling himself CRPG Addict. He is very thorough and explains things to a point where you may get tired of the walls of text but if you are interested in at least a quick rundown of various ancient titles he is the go-to.
>>3669171He is shit. His entire rating system is based on how much he loves skyrim. That is why zork beats wizardry 1 as a rpg in his ratings.
>>3669143No mention of Krynn? Shamefur dispray anon.
>>3669199He did say "3 Dragonlance games" which you missed, but I disagree with one of those: Dark Queen of Krynn is terrible because it's just one slog battle after another with 40th-level wizards instantly annihilating you if you lose initiative.

>>3670092Heh, good one.
Alright, lads. I'm two-thirds of the way through my little game. I want to do a shoot out segment. I'd prefer to not script the hell out of combat encounter. Any ways I can have the player character moving around the over world map and have them actually shoot down NPCs? Still less than a year into RPGmaker Ace but I feel there has to be some creative ways to go about it.

Who asked?
New thread Greatest DLC of all time?
>>3670381It sounds fun on paper, but imagine trying to get enough to use regularly.
Knives are fun, I should have done a knife build sooner. I thought it would struggle against armor like unarmed does but its really not an issue (although I imagine the robot death room would still be horrible) and somehow stabbing zoners seems more appropriate than fisting them.
>>3670527Post portrait.
>>3670599nta but its in one of the old portrait packs if u google it.check here:https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/underrail-custom-portrait-thread.139186/https://stygiansoftware.com/forums/index.php?topic=1304.0
>>3670602Cheers. It really triggers my autism when my portrait doesn't have black hair like the sprite.
And if they do, can someone recommend me one? Something that came out before 2020
>>3669357Yes. It's called Dark Souls.
>>3669357Technically, The Legend of DragoonThe combat is technically a rhythm game. Nothing else in the game is rhythm related.
>>3669656That reminds me. Squall's limit break in FF8, and his normal attacks, are rhythm based.
>>3669357SekiroIf anyone thinks it isn't a rhythm game then they never got gud.
>>3669583Congratulations for making the most retarded post I've read this week, and I've seen some shit, too.

What do i make of grades? Usually i think if i get 1.5 or more from common mobs i am doing the job right but i don't really know if i am correct.
>>3670486Depending on the game you’re playing (REALLY FUCKING USEFUL INFORMATION TO GIVE WHEN YOU’RE ASKING A QUESTION FAGGOT) GRADE is used for several different things. The most recurring feature, and often the only one is as a currency for the new game+ shop.
>>3670543Isn't just an exp bonus litterally in every game and measured with the same parameters (no hit, combo lenght etc) litterally in every game? The currency happens only after you beat the story, ususally.
Maybe i am dumb but i don't get how to do the second velvet's mystic arte. I pressed LT in 23 hits combo or even more but it still execute lethal pain, what am i doing wrong?I managed to do correctly a couple of times but i don't get it.
Is it morally wrong to kill baby Lavos/Lavos spawn?
>>3670313Offspring might not be the right word when it comes to shared consciousness. It can split apart and fuse together like beads of mercury.And it's not necessarily destroying anything. The destruction of a world comes down to it's arbiter. >>3670473The Kingdom of Zeal were magic bearers. They were altered long before they created the Mammon Machine, which is theorized to have the Frozen Flame inside it. The Frozen Flame is said to be a splinter of Lavos' shell. Dreamstone and Death Peak are also implied to be part of that shell. If anything it's just a conduit for consciousness.Basically Lavos = Ultima Race. Death Peak = Mother crystal. The Frozen Flame = The Crystal's Heart. The Arbiter = Dominate Lavos = Eikon
>>3669575It's morally wrong not to.
>>3670338>>3670399it doesn't have my latest Lavos edits...

"Pillars of Eternity was chock-full of writing styles which experienced writers tend to advise against," he said, his nose twitching. He glances to the left, then the right, then up, then down. You notice one of his sleeves is a slightly different shade to the other. "In fact, you could say that the writing of Pillars 1 was bloated, and constantly interrupted the flow of -" he paused, yawning loudly and scratching his backside with a lazy pawing motion - "dialogue. Like people don't need to know - " time seems to slow, and you feel that once upon a time in another life, this man was a farmer "- a bunch of useless details to get an understanding of who a person is. Where you meet a person and how they speak can communicate it with good writing." He said, wearing a rag-tag tunic, frayed pants, and with a slightly unkempt beard, hinting that he was some sort of peasant.

>>3670567this
>>3670567>>3670591I get what they _tried_ to do and I do give points for effort, but when the end result is muscle wizards and genius barbarians being "normal" (not necessarily always the most optimal) it just fucks too much with what the cool kids call verisimilitude. If anything poe proved why the archetypes and "cliches" of classes work so well and why they are endlessly repeated. The difference of a well made system and a badly made one is in the execution of the concepts.
So the new update for YIIK, which is apparently a pretty big overhaul - replacing the time based combat mechanics entirely - came out a couple days ago, anyone here give it a try?Does it “fix” the game
Can you delet this image thank you
>>3670545No one cares about your game right now.
Why the fuck don't you retards talk about this absolute gem?, shit characters aside, the core combat mechanics are solid, and it's not suffering from too much systems bloat, just basic upgrades and sparse resources so you have to prioritise and you don't have a full party of demi gods by the end of your first play through, infact the only way to have an entirely OP party is to play NG+ twice at least. The graphics are really nice, the art style is gorgeous and the overarching plot of three nations with resources at stake vying at each other for every opportunity to come out on top is excellent (very dune-esque), the only shortcoming I can find is the characters are mostly ass (especially the main char), except Anna, she's badass. I never even liked srpgs before playing this.
The dialog in this game is ridiculously bloated and redundant, the characters repeat the same things over and over and over, until you go insane. The devs must think their audience will be scrolling TikTok while playing, so everything is emphasized many times, the game will beat you over the head with every single plot point, making you completely sick of it by the end. If you thought Tales of Arise was poorly written, OH BOY.The combat was whatever, you just turtle up and pick off the enemy one by one, same as every other SRPG. The enemy variety was very limited, so it got stale halfway through.

If you thought Tales of Arise was poorly written, OH BOY.100% facts, i was willing to accept this as there is a skip function and it works well, so far i have skipped almost everything, i just know there's 3 houses and shit like that, occasionally ill slow it down to listen to random bits so i have some context.> The combat was whatever, you just turtle up and pick off the enemy one by one, same as every other SRPG. The enemy variety was very limited, so it got stale halfway through.this is sadge to hear, i thought it felt pretty good so far, then again im still in the early game, what other SRPG's would you recommend? I tried Disgaea but i didn't like the tile color matching mechanics and the other weird gimmicks it had like with tossing penguins and shit.
>>3670508It was pretty good but that's about it. We talked about it when it came out and how Benedict is the coolest fucking dude, but it doesn't have that much staying power nor did it really get a huge following after it's first release and eventual port to PC.My favorite thing about the game beyond even mechanics or characters is how the entire plot is about fucking salt trade, I love it.
>>3670508>retardsNot nice
>>3670585yeah it feels very light in terms of longevity, maybe 2 playthroughs and I'm done? not much else surrounding it or other sorts of depth available>>3670587you know what, you're right, I actually am sorry for saying that, it's been a rough work Tuesday.
Have Dak'kon deserved his fate of a slave in exchange of returning his fate?
>>3670546>Then you'll be glad to know Dak'kon isn't Githyanki.i know hes Githzerai but fact remains, zoomers nigger down and sexualize every single thing they touch like some sex pests
>>3670570Githyanki always were space pirate niggers.
>>3670580yes but based and hardcore and not reddit
>>3670583>based and hardcoreSomeone hasn't played Neverwinter Nights 2
>>3670584Only first one, you got AD&D in second one? Btw is story any good?
What's the verdict?
>>3669649>Screenshotcan I play as the 7 heroes?
>>3669652It's a modOnly thing you can get in the vanilla game are their weapons in the postgame which include some of their unique techs
>>3663893Laughed when that happened to me too.
I have romancing 2 and 3 in my pirated backlog; never played a SaGa before. Are these decent starter entries?
>>3670556RS3 is the easier one of the two but it's also really easy to get lost in. RS2 has more direction but is also more challenging, assuming you don't have the remake which is the most newcomer-friendly game in the series.
>ctrl+f>no Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D threadWhat the fuck? Isn't this what this board was made for? Anyway, how is it so far
>>3670304> he hasn't gotten to the pyramid yet
>>3670498You've already lost because you think that is what the post was about and you're outright obsessed with it.Your behaviour is why legit issues in relation to this are ignored because lunatics like you make mountains out of molehills and have this shit on the brain. So people think everyone is a braindead lunatic like you.Also good job not countering my post at all with any arguments.
>>3670502you really showed me how not obsessed you are.
