>>3995784https://u2u.rpgmakerofficial.com/en/RPG Maker U2U has recently been announced. It's a 2.5D engine based on Unity which aims to bring Octopath Traveler esque graphics to RPG Maker.
Sometimes, I regret moving on from rpg maker to other game engines.
>>3995798>based on UnityBy that you mean a standalone engine based off Unity or just yet another glorified Unity add-on completly pointless because you might as well just use fucking Unity if you really need to install something else just to use rpgmaker?
>>3995798i love that they haven't learned nobody wants a fucking unity plugin
nyoom motheruckers>https://morso-irl.itch.io/astral-kingdom-demo
>>3995784just a question, is it ok to criticize people work if you have no credentials other than having completed/played through many of them?
>>3996004Of couseThere are (plenty of) professional video game critics who never made a game
Should I even mention that I used AI for my game on itch? I basically only used it for bug fixes and compatibility between plugins. But I am afraid that these retarded trannies (especially the ones on itch and reddit) would immediately cancel me just for that.
>>3996113Not unless you have obvious AI assetsThe Xitterati do not care about code
>>3996004It's often said in writing groups that people don't need to know how to play a piano to recognize when someone else is bad at it. But then who taught you what to "feel" in the first place? What to look for? What to validate? Why are you asking for permission? Where did you get the idea that visibility was a privilege? How much do you hate the people that spit on it.
>>3996004YeahThe "then do it yourself" defense is insane. The classic analogy of you not needing to be a chef to realize a dish was overcooked covers it.Obviously, depending on how in depth you want your critique to be you need more knowledge, but for a general "this is how the game ultimately feels in the hands of the player" you are justified in your criticism.
been working on a big forest area for Astral Kingdom.and also redoing all of my town maps so that levels stack on top of each other, and like in NES dragon quest, when you go up a floor, you can see the town below you, and the roofs of lower buildings
>>3996649example
I feel like I don't have enough to do to bother with it.
>>3995784The recent jams barely have games on themIs this general dead?
>>3995798
>>3996113You gotta declare it in but it doesn't show in the description or anything. They say it's strictly enforced.https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines#ai-disclosure
>>3996649>>3996650This looks cool bro. I like your colour palette. How did you come up with it? I always struggle with making retro colour palettes
>>3997157i didn't make the tileset tbf. just the sprites and UI
>>3995904>a standalone engine based off Unity or just yet another glorified Unity add-onIt's going to be the latter but you might as well think of it as the first because you don't understand the difference anyways.Essentially, it's going to ship the whole unity engine as a simple ready-to-use package with its own higher level rpg editor instead of standard unity tools. It's not a plugin you add to your unity project.
>>3997138>lets take one of the few pure 2d art engines and pump it full of gaudy effects like realtime shadows, bloom, depth of fieldFuck this gay timeline
>>3997215old engines ain't going anywhere, to be fair
>>3997322The older engines aren't very good for the long term to also be fair. I don't think there's been any earnest attempt to actually make RPG Maker be a more freeform engine outside of limited access to some of the scripts for the engine with no documentation.
rpgmaker needs a good competitor. they have to know they can't just churn out slop like this. VX Ace and MV were awesome at the time despite their limitations, but it's been so underwhelming since
>>3997332Theres no better rpgm engine than VXA
>>3997337honestly, with the exception of vx classic, there's real arguments for any of the engines. just use whichever one you like. they're all good
>>3996113Just be upfront about it and nobody will give a shit. An anon made a pretty boss game with AI portraits (After School Dungeon Club) and nobody chewed his ass for it because he made it clear that he was using AI. The biggest problem anyone has with sloppa is the lies.As a side note, divide the amount of people you think are gonna see your game by 100, popular rpgmaker games are literally 1 in a million and at most a small youtuber will put up a playthrough with no commentary. Unless you're really lucky, that's just the way things are.
>>3997356>goblinchud is an ai sloppercolour me surprised
>>3997362This is the rpgmakor thread, not the rpgmakour thread.
>>3997356that was back when ai was brand new and barely functional, only capable of spitting out weird dreamlike images that you could hardly make head or tails of
>>3997356We still have BING/Dall-e threads on most boards. I miss when everyone was using it to generate resource concepts and mock/praise Sigmasuccour. Because the output was all the same, people still had some anonymity.
*cough*
The new Claude Fable 5 has much better knowledge of RPG Maker and Wolf RPG Editor than previous iterations. Should help us to just, like, make game.
>>3998618It might be more like Smoking Wolf's advice in the OP book. Their game to fame isn't a 30hr JRPG epic, it's a 30min casual game. >What if the screen scrolled to the right. >And all the characters were like "We have to go the 'right' way.I don't know about the latest models. But I'm regularly reminding AI chatbots that JRPGs are not YA adventure novels or 2 hour screenplays.
>>3998651i tried to tell claude about my 8-bit game and a dungeon i was working on and it started suggesting shit only possible in a 3D AAA cinematic game. it's really dumb when it keeps to being consistent with your preferences
>>3998618Even RM2K?
https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/threads/welcome-to-rpg-maker-guild.183984/The official RPG Maker Forums are getting taken out back and shot so that GGG can make a new one with blackjack and hookers. The whole site will go read-only in a week, and be gone forever in December with zero archival. While the actual forums were an absolute cesspit, this is basically going to immolate over a decade of easily googleable advice and resources for basically no reason and making it harder to answer simple questions for beginners.
>>3998984Welp, there goes years of useful shit.Why the fuck cant they just set it to read only forever? I'm not using their gay ass new forum that looks fucking terrible either.
>>3998984The site is dead anyway.
>>3998991>rpg maker forums>useful shitlmao
>>3998984What the fuck is "Guild"?
>>3998984Actually the OFFICIAL forums are reopening after they shut it down last September, I think?RMWeb hasn't been "official" for a long time.
You got to applaud their commitment to the bit. But you know, they were truly migrating to another site, there wouldn't be a copyright issue because everyone consented to that scenario in the ToS.
>>3998860yes>>3999026what the fuck are you talking about?! copyright issue? what fucking copyright issue, you hallucinating fuck?
>>3999033They claim they can't transfer everyone's posts to a new forum, because your posts are copyrighted to (you).Archives are a "fair use" exception to copyright anyways.
>>3999041So they can’t just keep the site in permanent read only mode because….?
>>3999041first, apologies for going off on you.>You are granting us with a [...] license to [...] publish, or re-publish your Content in connection with the Servicethsy are literally saying that they reserve the right to "re-publish" posted content. why the fuck won't they do that then!?
>rpgmaker.net revives>rmweb diesBased
>>3998984Those fucking retards, now so many resources are gonna be gone forever as this was the last bastion to preserve them
>>3999088How possible is it anyway to archive the entire fucking forum?There’s probably no way of archiving all the tutorials and assets on there in the time before December.
>>3999048You're talking about admins have have zero community presence, and unironically think moderation means locking threads and banning people that they disagree with. Before today, Touchfuzzy's profile says his last post was 19 months ago. It's a joke for him to show up now and say it's a tragedy he won't be able to continue ignoring you and defend the "volunteers" that have his permission to break the rules and pretend to be ignorant of the organized harassment and alienation of members that had higher post counts than him.
>>3999109You can say the same for a dozen other people that are willfully ignorant of other sites with the exact same membership, the same moderators in some cases.The silver lineing is that now, when this thread reaches the bump limit, anons will have to false flag about the quality of other some other platform they hardly contribute to.
This is my 2 cents in solidarity. It's an unfortunate event, even for a turbo lurker of RPGM threads and forums since 2007 such as myself. VH unironically got me into RPG Maker, I even learnt a bit of Wapanese to get the general gist of what I was playing. When MV dropped I was there for that feeling of oomph and new tools/toys to play with, which was a fun time. I just hope GGG doesn't do something giga-retarded in the future with licensing or something along the lines of what Unity tried to pull off awhile back. Imagine needing to pay for people to play your OC-slop game on Itch.io, or GGG makes an AI tool for game creation that they sell as a new subscription service.
>>3999239I think guild might be tolerant of Ai. But not porn. You'll have to share your oompfs somewhere else.
rest in piss to the worst forum with the fattest, most neckbeardy moderators since forums began
>>3999337Next time, stick to private messages.
none of this has anything to do with making a video gamekill rpgm general
posting progressI've been sick lately, so I haven't been able to get in a good headspace to work for extended periods of time. I've built a test dungeon to see how easy it is to create static encounters, since I prefer them over random ones, but there's a pretty obvious problem right now where I have to manually set every enemy's X & Y values per event. So my next step is to make my own version of Troops if I want to make this part simpler.The actual battle mechanics still aren't done, but I needed a change of pace after having my head so deep in figuring out how to structure the entire battle system. I'm still unsure how I'm going to handle enemy AI, or how to handle damage formulas in general, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
>>3999402It's called morale. If you showed more of it, maybe people will let you in. Or at least take down the barbed wire
oh yeah im totally boosting morale by making 800 schizoposts per thread about literally anything but making a fucking video gamemaybe if you were making a fucking video game people would take interest in the things you say instead of endlessly jabbering about shit that not even you give a fuck about>>3999413seems very tedious but that's just how it is with making a cbs in rm2k huh
>>3999464The 'dev' in the subject line is short for development, not developer.This is why the 'grey rock' method works. This is why everyone deletes their projects after a while. They don't need your attention. They literally don't want it. They make shit for the sake of making it. Your need for external validation, and an obligation to be "interesting" are only things (you) want. You're asking everyone to change, so you can make yourself a prize.
spent the last few days working on all of the enemies and troop for random encounters. now the entire map is region painted, and what's left to do is two superboss dungeons, two main quest chapters and the final act :)
>>3999549Why those things?
>>3999554what do you mean?
>>3999559Why random encounters? Why in regions? Why superboss dungeons? Why 2 of them? Why chapters and act format?
>>3999568random encounters because i like the kind of tension they bring to travel, and the personality they give to certain regions. superboss dungeons because players would presumably like to have difficult, optional content to test their builds and get powerful items as a result. two of them because that's the amount i wanted to do. chapters and act format because it's an easy way to structure my game. you're looking for five items, the town/dungeon/town/dungeon boss structure (though sometimes i break from this for variety) which you go through to get one of the items is a chapter, which has its own mini story and its own theming. the pirate chapter, the knight arena chapter, the cult chapter, the forest chapter, the desert chapter and the final chapter.and anticipating you saying why to all those things, too: why anything?
>>3999570One philosophy to RPG design is character progression. Another is mastery. Personally, I think of these as vertical and horizontal axis.Power levels and attributes. The attributes might be things like elemental skills, or material grade. A choice between Fire and Ice might be arbitrary if neither provide any advantages. You might also have damage types, like Blunt, Slash, Piercing. But again, the choice can be negligible if enemy weaknesses are evenly distributed, so the player doesn't feel punished, for example, for creating a Blunt-Ice build. In theory, it could balance out. But then we step over to narrative design, railroading the player into optimal builds. And regional troop layouts with "random" encounters, where the player is incentivized to use specific loadouts, or proceed in a certain order.
>>3999645sorry that i want the start of my game to be easy and the end of my game to be hard
>>3999549Grats anon. I like the look of this a lot.
>>3999662thank you! i'm still editing some of the player character sprites as i go. the pilgrim in particular is proving pretty difficult to get right, but i'm glad at how i've made my assets, and the assets of others that i'm using come together somewhat cohesively :) it's really nice when others seem to appreciate it too
right now i'm working on a pretty big secret dungeon: 10 total tower floors and a large crypt in the basement which is the lair of an optional boss. you'll climb up the right tower, across a bridge at the top, to descend the left tower and access the tower basement.i've been trying to stick close to dragon quest 3: you have little ledges and openings where you can jump down to other floors, or out of the towers completely, landing in the correct x/y coordinates
>>3999665>dragon womenI will now play your game
>>3999679based. there's also three kinds of snakegirl
>>3999648and how do you do that?
>>3999726i feel like you aren't asking these questions in good faith
>>3999726You create a bottleneck.>Guide dang itLike, party gets hit with wide "blind". Mages are too soft and run out of MP. So you need melee fighters with blind immunity. But that only comes in the form of an accessory, with a 25% drop rate, from a rat enemy on 1 small map with a low encounter rate - you don't even know it's there!
This is why nobody posts in these threads anymore btw
>>3999761for fucking real. nobody posts their games and everyone whines, and then when someone does post about their game everyone's fucking weird about it
I asked Claude.ai to have Sister (Nun) MZ perform Last Rites for the dying RMW forums. I expected text. But instead it procedurally generated this image one shape at a time. Building an altar, lighting the candles, the nun first with her back turned, then turning around. And then a speech bubble. "We pray...for these threads, nowsilent. For the debates,the lore, the off-topictangents. May they findpeace in the archive....for these threads, now silent. For the debates that stretched to twenty pages, for the pinned posts no onewill ever update again, for the off-topic tangent about someone's cat in 2009 — may they rest in the archive. Amen."
>>3999839how about you generate yourself a noose and hang yourself with it
Of course, it reads more like a funeral than an forgiveness of sins. >Gone, but cached in our hearts.
>>3999839Why does the nun not have huge tits and a perfect hourglass figure?
>>4000014Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to.
Apparently, Preservation efforts are actually going pretty well with multiple groups archiving the site as we speak.
>>4000063>archiving a bunch of worthless garbageHow about actually getting good at the maker instead of desperately archiving noob-ass tutorials and crappy plugins?
>>3995784>try to go for a Suikoden esthetic set in a modern magical setting>come up with all sorts of neat tricks to implement that made the project feel impossible earlier on>spend a large amount of time collecting, organizing, and browsing through 3D resources for screenshotting>discover while trying to put together an interesting map that crucial, rare assets will fit only as part of a kit>try half-baked workarounds>loose mind>shut project down until you recover what you lost of your soul
>>4000234You make backups of resources from the community you killed; you're called a hero. I post reference images to engage new content creation; I'm labeled an art thief. That doesn't seem fair.
>>4000065How do you think people learned how to make CBS systems for 2000 and 2003 when they were relevant, dipshit?
>>4000264By using their brains.Something that has apparently stopped happening entirely in recent years.
>>4000293i'm guessing your grandchildren don't call you anymore, gramps?
>>4000293people who use their brains wouldnt use RPG Maker....like thats the point of the engine
Is there a consensus what pixel height you should use if you want to have tall characters? Examples of small tall characters could be the Phantasy Star games on the genesis/megadrive and large tall characters Xenogears or Suikoden 2.
>>4000340Being practical, you'd want to go by your tile sizes. A wall might be 1 or 2 tiles high. But doorways don't go all the way to the ceiling. You have to leave some head space like a 8px or 16px gap.
>>4000498But then there's no account for {hat} accessories >PeeWee's playhouse screaming "HAT">Hueh huehlike Bunny ears, top feathers.
>>4000264NTA but the tutorial section of rmw for 2k and 2k3 is and always has been pretty bad. There's barely 2 pages of threads and it's only super generic stuff anyone with more than 1 year of exp with the software can figure out. If you wanna learn something complicated like CBS and CMS you're better off going somewhere else like Yadot or some niche forums.I don't feel like the shutdown will affect my work too much personally, but it will suck really bad for people who use VXA and MV. My condoleances to these guys.
>>3995784Hey guys.I have a world in my head that I want to bring into a playable medium via video games. I am stuck between RPGMaker and Mount & Blade: Warband.The setting is focused on warfare between various medieval fantasy factions, but I also have specific stories in my head with set protagonists. I like the world simulation and mass combat aspects of Warband, but also specific, smaller scale stories that one could tell with RPGMaker. Also, I like drawing which is perfect for RPGMaker. Warband, being 3D, doesn't really allow for 2D dialogue portraits.So, what shall I do? I kind of feel like doing both, but that's not realistic at all.
>>3997213Dumb shill
>>4000677how important is world sim really? you can simulate warring factions using something like an SRPG plugin in RPG Maker for large scale combat
>>4000684It's pretty important. Feudal geopolitics are at the forefront of the setting. Also, I love the fantasy of commanding your troops out in the field while also fighting there. RPGMaker usually just allows for you and three others.Can you tell me more about these SRPG plugins? This does seem interesting.
>>4000695>Can you tell me more about these SRPG plugins? This does seem interesting.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2811870/RPG_Maker_MZ__SRPG_Gear_MZ__Tactical_Battle_system_for_RPG_Maker_MZhttps://synrec.itch.io/rpg-maker-mz-tactical-battle-systemhere's two different options, there's probably more.>Also, I love the fantasy of commanding your troops out in the field while also fighting there. RPGMaker usually just allows for you and three others.this also solves this problem.>Feudal geopolitics are at the forefront of the setting.i mean, personally i'd prefer to have control over what happens in my game. there is the possibility of things simulating "the wrong way" if you go for full worldsim. telling the story by showing vignettes of key events between the factions is not just easier, but also more exciting and immediately visible to the player.
How do you write a story around something abstract and nonpersonal like geopolitics? It's just so anti-drama.
We won, they lost. We are going to lose as well, because some of those faggots are moving here after the forum shutdown.
>>4000816if you are in the realm of medieval fantasy then no. just imagine this:>lord fuckwad has promised his daughter lady assburger to emperor pissshit in exchange for lands and some tribute>but then the son of baron cumslurper has fucked assburger and emperor pissshit called off the wedding>so as revenge lord fuckwad went to war against baron cumslurperinterpersonal conflicts and drama become geopolitics
>>4000818Until they get banned the moment they forget they don't have immunity to troll people here

just redrew the pilgrim sprite :) pretty proud of this improvement
So my plan is to convert the 2003 assets to use in mz and then replace/modify over time if I find my protorype fun, I want it to look like snes-gba basically since I find the default mv/mz look ugly. Is there something else I need to think about?
>>4001373they should scale up cleanly 3x iirc. i could be wrong, though. you'd need to completely reposition all the sideview character sprites if you plan to use sideview battles, also. and you may have to use the C, D, E sprites rather than A1, A2 etc, unless you plan to rearrange the tileset by hand for autotiles and water animations. however it's likely someone has already done all this and you can find them somewhere to just drag into your project
>>4001374C, D, E tiles for tilesets*
*ear-piercing high pitched confirm noise*
>>4001373mz already supports 16x16 though
>>4001298Fuck it, we do one just before July.
>>3996113First, be afraid of god, not trannies who are going to burn in hell anyway. But, I wouldn't offer any info unless prompted. If they asked if I used AI I would say no because it's a silly question. If they asked did you use it at all in the programming process, I'd personally say yes because anyone telling you you're not allowed to learn is a fucking demon. If they ask if you used it for art, so no. But fuck reddit and cancel culture.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
>>4001464What happened, where are we going??
>>4001467Just go
i've been working so hard i dreamt i was making a tcg with the bestiary from my game
>>4001484Welcome to my life.
>>4001484All I think about anymore is shitposting and RPGmaking
>>3996113Nobody cares unless it is art. It's almost common sense to use it to code if you're on your own.
I'm working on the portrait for one of the most important party members, my goal is making the cutest granny elf ever, she also has enormous milkers. Look forward to seeing it when I release the game in 10 years.
>>4001865HATE elves but LOVE boobs, so I'll wait with cautious anticipation.
>>4002129>t.
I'm trying to setup a water walking upgrade for my game and how I've been doing it is just painting all water tiles with a region thats unpassable unless the water walking switch is ON, but now that Im making an area with lots of water on every screen Im realizing how much of a pain it is, is there a better way to do something like this? I don't think I can use database terrain tags because theyre already in use for a footstep script and walkable things like blood are the same tag as waters
>>4002334Just duplicate the tileset. Add passage to the water tile you want. You can toggle between tilesets with the "Change Tileset" event command. This also works for bridges and balconies who's star passage changes depending on what floor they're on. The catch is that this passage would be true for all walking events, not just the player. So you might have to enclose NPCs in a barrier of blank events, so that they don't randomly walk out on the water while waterwalk is on.
>>4002358>"Change Tileset" event commandSomehow never once saw this buttonThanks anon, I'll probably just keep using regions for blocking event movement since its a lot quicker to paint the outline of bodies of water than fill the whole thing
one superboss dungeon done, one to go. here, you'll fight Death Majestic, the embodiment of the Grim Reaper, in search of the legendary Blood Ring: an item that passively restores HP over time.You climb up the right tower, cross a bridge to the left tower, and climb down to find the crypt in the basement, fighting zombies, ghosts and mummies along the way.

I finally finished my rpgmaker xp game.It’s awful and no one should play it, but its cool i guess.https://gamejolt.com/games/TWAUQUEST/998634
>>4003024STB (so turns are decided as you get to them, not at the start of the round). it's a pretty standard dragon quest pastiche with an emphasis on inflicting status effects, buffs and debuffs and finding enemy weaknesses all in low, easy to understand numbers. stats tend to range from abut 1 to 30 throughout the game. getting a +1 bonus is fairly significant, and there are tons of accessories and unique, hidden armours and weapons around the world to combine with your class/subclass to create unique builds.
>>4003277Sounds fun. So a bit like old school SMT?
>>4003315i'm trying to mimic the gameboy SaGa games, dragon quest 1 to 4, and a bunch of other nes/gb games i like, but bring it more to ttrpg-style numbers. so it's level 1 to 20, stats don't go into the hundreds, you can dual class to customize your build.
>>4003324Very cool, seems like something I'd like to play.
>>4003328thank you :)
>>4001865I'm looking very forward to it. I just hope you're being earnest about enormous milkers, and aren't one of those "D is the biggest cup size" fags.

Ok so my plan is to buy rpg maker 2000 (for the assets), and 2003 next week during the steam sale. Then going with 2003 + the maniacs patch, change resolution to 480x270. I've already made my template character bodies, for adults they're 36-39px tall so have to modify some default assets like doors, facades, chairs, desks and trees. Then replace all the assets over time. Will probably borrow the palette from the original star ocean and modify that.
I noticed the U2U preview only shows towns. What will dungeons look like?
>>4003697to be honest, wish fulfillment isekai reincarnated slop is a pretty rare sight among english RPGM games.Maybe they are more common in the korean / chinese scenes though.

Time to post progress update.>Progress update I'm making a desktop operating system... system, inside RPG Maker MV. ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝So that when you interact with a computer inside my game, you can browse its files, read texts, view its images, check web history, e.t.c e.t.c

>>4004902Welcome backI've...not done anything dev wise, except that found and fixed a bug in one of yanfly's vxa scripts that causes appcrashes, one that was just annoying, fixed the optimize feature of the quipment screen, fixed a frame delay in movement due to a bug in the default code, and... tried to help someone fix bugs in their game. meh-I complained somewhere about the rules and moderation of rpg maker guild, who believes that critique is slander and who also believes that moderating critique is madated by japanese law. (both of these are not true).but in all practicality, I'm a no-dev and the way the community is makes me not want to do anything, as eventually I'd be basically rewarding them. It hasn't been helpful at least.Lots of victim-rewarding everywhere.Still thinking about making a tutorial, but- I don't like making accounts and publicity and such. I also have no real interest in making videos, and knowing people solve problems with AI which is fine for now, means people don't really need it. In any case, too insecure basically. I feel like I don't belong and whatever I do is messing stuff up for others. I think I may not have enough interest in rpg maker dev, at least not enough to be able to ignore them, or... idk-

Since for-example, people dogpiling & harassing & slandering me kept calling it 'critique' as well.>I'm a no-dev and the way the community is makes me not want to do anything, as eventually I'd be basically rewarding them.Super understandable.>In any case, too insecure basically.

>>4005213Welcome back. Coyote is still fooling around with Succour. You should be proud of him during this month of pride. Even though July is when the Sun is in the house of the lion. For some reason they celebrate sharks instead. That's not even part of the Zodiac! They say...they say a shark's brain looks like a woman's uterus. But Virgo comes after Leo. It'll be August before you know it, and the stores will be full of Halloween decorations. I don't know what's real anymore. But you better finish your game soon. With strange aeons even death may die. And RMW died. Can you believe it?
Has anyone checked in on the WITH community lately?
>|?rogress reportI wanted at-least 4 icons to interact with on FalseOS desktop. So apart from file-explorer & CPU-info.

Since its owners stopped publishing RPG Maker years ago. :O >>4005190>i hate coyotecraft tooHe's a kind soul.
>>4005519I didn't see a lot of games. Just a stream of "Hub World" updates. blogs or hangouts. I think everyone is playing inside projects instead of actually deploying their games and playtesting them normally. A common problem I saw in the few projects I downloaded was getting soft lock. You walk into a room with no exit. Or the move route only works if you triggered it from the right direction.
Will I get in trouble for using AI plugins or editing existing ones with it?
Is Knightsneed still at it? It was nice having a genuine yesdev around.
I had a theory you could turn any MV/MZ game into a Visual Novel. So I had Google's AI Agents make a webapp that reads the project text procedurally from the starting map. It kind of works. But when you take out the spatial context of the maps it's still a little disorderly. I noticed some bad habits a lot of developers have, myself included. Sometimes we forget to write the speaker's name. And a lot of people use party members as event flags, rather than switches. I imagine they think the 2nd party member isn't going anywhere, so that condition will always be true. Until they decide to split the part later in the game. If the player backtracks to the beginning areas, they'll likely find themselves repeating early quests events because that party member isn't with them to flag the event as completed.
>>4005766yes but not with any community. the trouble you get into will be "this shit breaks and i dont know how to fix it and neither does the ai and i can't hire anyone to fix it because it's so fucked from the ground up that they don't even know where to start"
Different anon here. But if you try to work with RM's default menu windows, you'll run into issues. Not because it's broken but because it's incomplete. The windowskin have left and right content arrows, so you'd think you'd be able to scroll/page horizontally the same way you do vertically. But that's something that was never coded in, in this or the previous editors.
This is my plan for the steam sale (prices are from the last sale but they seem to be the same every time):RPG Maker 2000, 2,29€RPG Maker 2003, 1,95€RPG Maker XP, 2,45€RPG Maker VX Ace 6,79€RPG Maker VX Ace - Time Fantasy Add-on: Animals, 2,09€RPG Maker VX Ace - Time Fantasy Add on Animals 2, 2,79€RPG Maker MV - Time Fantasy: Monsters 2,33€RPG Maker MZ - RPG Maker 2000 Handbook Assets 8,95€Total: 29,64€Will use 2003 and the maniacs patch for the game, the rest are for easily modified assets and things like sfx. The only one I'm not 100% on is the RPG Maker 2000 Handbook Assets since I can't find how the tiles actually look, so I might skip that one.
>>4005795Yeah that's understandable, i'm not using it for anything complicated/game breaking for that reason
>>4006072Maybe you just need some more....training!
>>4005806that's just good business

>>4006363RelaxIt's just something that happens whjen you have an anime girl pic and pcs in the same art. ( I mean most internet users, especially otaku types like that )You can thank the community for the attention if you really want to, but it's fine either way.And yeah, like people can give hate, they can also give love. I guess you got too used to receiving dislikes too much. Sorry about that. It;s a good sign at least, from your followers I mean. Hate is unhealthy and the world would be better with positivity and honest critique, rather than one fueled from hate.Hope you're doing okay at least. Its good to see you're still interested in creating games. You're also a lot more skilled with AI art generation from the looks of it.

I'm pretty bad at designing maps so I was considering just having half the game be like a vn that's story heavy then whenever there's a battle I'll go right into it.But I'm having trouble with the background for any dialogue section since I've only just gotten into art.

Yeah, bad.

I didn't remember the chat here to be so... slow & inactive...Anyways, I explain developing RPG Maker games via phone/tablet devices on the RPGM guild forum: (*´▽`*) https://guild.rpgmakerofficial.com/t/topic/1895/4?tl=en...I basically worked on this when my PC was busted. So in similar such cases, or when I don't have access to my PC, I can continue developing games through phone. >>4010345Oh. My.Goodness. (o_O)>>4010495>Rpg Maker U2U probably won't have an RTPThey've brought up how they commissioned maps and they've already been made (as default ones that can be loaded). And according to screenshots, those were made with older MV/MZ tilesets. So, perhaps we won't be getting any RTP in the tileset department for U2U. They also realized, that chibi sprites don't fit U2U's 3D perspective, hence they used XP's taller sprites. So perhaps... they might have some unique characters for U2U.Unite had unique characters too. New characters are kind of needed as mascots to sell the thing and set it apart from the rest.
I opened up a project I haven't touched in months and ran into an error. I just threw the whole thing into google's Antigravity to diagnosis.

Claude gives a fuzzy estimate that rpgs are about 800 words per hour.
I've never been able to write towards timeframe like that though. Even before AI, my design documents were all high concepts. Like>This game will have 12 chapters>Each Chapter uses a sign of the Zodiac as a motif >...Chapter 2, Taurus, features a Minotaur...Chapter 3...blah blah blah. So it didn't look like nothing. But it didn't translate to active development in the project and character dialogue. Like>NPC1: The goblin rape tunnels are to the [EAST].>NPC2: Use the 'Recover' spell to cure Poison. Use the "Cure" spell to recover HP.

thought i might reuse the tiles and database of Astral Kingdom to make a straight sequel. this time, you're fixed hero party member, and you can optionally register three party members, who you can choose the class of, just like Dragon Quest 3.so now the game is more about dual classing your party members to customize the experience.

>>4014200Why are you stressing, how do you even do anything in life if picking anything up stresses you out?
Literally making a suikoden type game with 600 characters. Another one previously as well Liberated Arms. Haven't barely touched that but seemly RPG MZ is better to work with. Don't know how the war battles will go. Might make it simple. Like the typical background a choice menu in the middle with attack defend or special options. I already progressed it abit more.
i made a party system like dragon warrior 3. the main character is a fixed main character, Noble class, then you can register up to three party members, and choose their class between Warrior, Mage, Thief and Pilgrim. i gave each class a sprite and portrait, and you can drop off members in your party at the party registry, or pick up dropped off members. i could have used a plugin, but i want to get away from all that and get more ambitious with variables and conditional brancheslater in the game, you'll get an item of some sort that allows you to switch the subclasses of your party members. you could have three Warriors, one of them dual classing mage, one dual classing Pilgrim and one Dual Classing Thief if you wanted. you could just be the hero alongside your singular Warrior/Thief buddy, make a balanced or purposely off-kilter party, experiment at your leisure and come up with something interesting. pretty excited about this :)
>>4014643tfw too lazy to develop an actual game around "generic DQ/Wiz party if he Pokemon and all the enemies/parties are at least 2x stronger than your guys stat-wise most of the time" thing I started ages ago.Types/class combinations are unlocked, no limits on who can learn which "TM" moves, but fundamental learnsets are class and type locked.
>>4014666looks good! the 2k3 characters work well when colour limited like that
>>4014670wow. how did you code that epic menu
>>4014673epic.......
>>4014671I used ChatGPT and $20 plugins because I'm too smooth brained to manually set X and Y coordinates. Then I space out my 10min creations over the course of months and even years and try to hype it up as a "new" development.

>>4014840whenever i need sloppa of anything i just lookup 'free online ai image generator no signup' and the top results seem to work fine enough
I can tell some patreon devs just build games around whatever the generator spits out.
I know some people have 18+ patreons with 0 content.

This isn't probably the best place, but I need help. In rpgmaker mz, how do I make hidden stairs appear after fighting a creature? I can't find something that explains it or I'm missing something because I'm dumb retard guy. But what's the correct sequence of events?
>>4015112https://w.atwiki.jp/viprpg_sozai/pages/22.html
>>4015361when the creature dies, turn on a switch. call it CreatureStairs or something.make an event, which has the stair's graphics, and on the left hand side make sure it only appears when CreatureStairs is ON
>>4015361Make event/stairs that only appears if a switch is flipped. Then flip the switch when monster is defeated.
After failing so many times in unity, I feel like I should go back to rpg maker.
>>4015365>>4015364I don't think I understand how to make events trigger. The tutorial isn't helping
>>4015374event triggers are on the bottom left of the event page. autorun, parallel, player touch, event touch or action button
>>4015374https://youtu.be/JOzWc6yT_1wyour life is nothing, you serve zero purpose, you should uninstall rpg maker NOW
>>4015379You're probably right, but you don't make a convincing enough argument. Also it didn't help. I have a dungeon with a mini boss fight give the players a big struggle to give them a inkling about the upcoming final boss fight. The mini boss fight is on a different map from the event of the stairs being hidden. I want to connect the boss dying to the reveal of the stairs. I've tried going through all the available people posting on sites, I've asked AI, I've watched multiple videos. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm fairly certain its simple but I feel borderline illiterate trying to understand
>>4015409screencap your events and show us. switches affect things on other maps, they're game-wide. just make sure you aren't using "self-switches"
>>4015409>unable to follow simple shityou might actually just be sub 70 iq or something, good luck. not spoonfeeding any further
>>4015410I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong locations or just actually dumb, I've been trying to use the switches but I've just smashing my head against the wall by changing where the switch condition goes. This is my current attempt>>4015413You didn't really help me, keep your spoons to yourself if this is your attempt to help
>>4015417oh i see. you're doing the stairs on switch during the fight. maybe try doing it in a cutscene after the enemy is defeated. i've always found that in combat events are kinda janky. it also might not fire if it's "when enemy hp = 0" because it just ends the battle, then and might ovveride the event.also, as an efficiency thing, if you're making an event that only appears after something has been triggered and doesn't exist beforehand, you don't need the initial blank page, just the one containing the switch on condition
>>4015419I GOT IT TO WORK, THANKS SO MUCH!!
>>4015426no problem!
>>4015426nta but you're going to find combat in RPG Maker, no matter the version, will always lead to something buggy that doesn't make sense. I seriously don't know why they don't give you more freedom with the combat scene given how their restrictive design philosophy always leads to newbies run into a wall they won't understand yet.
FF and Bard Quest update?I'm free this weekend to help finish stuff.
>>4015452Thanks for the heads up. I will try and keep that on a sticky note in my brain
>>4014671>>4014692I swear. This is why I hate rpg maker devs. They want people to be impressed with their custom menus. But then they never release their FUCKING game.
>>4015361The problem is already solved it seems, but co0nsidering you don't understand how it works:Please take a look at your own image here: >>4015426Normally event commands always happen in order, from top to bottom, no matter what. If the event is run, the page will (or at least should) finish. Once the event page is finished executing the instructions from top to bottom, then the map will re-examine the event, and check to see if conditions are different. If not and these instructions should run, it will start over, from top to bottom.Your current instructions tell the game to spawn a monster and start a battle, then after that, flip the switch.All of these things happen in the same frame. (as in the game processes everything and then waits till it is instructed to cause a game frame update)A couple of janky things can happen especially when you involve plugins. The switch might get flipped before the battle starts for example if you have VisuStella's movement core installed. (it messes with things unfortunately).Another thing that you should know is that Move Route (movement route in mz) works differently. It steps over each command on a frame, so only one command is run per frame. It's compared to the normal event commands very slow. (most people don't know this though)Further 'parallel process' events always run and don't freeze the player. And so long the conditions are met the game will try to restart them.That restarting process has a bug, that makes it wait a frame after the event is done processing all commands, causing events to run at most 30 times per second, not 60. Use loop to achieve the full 60 times. It's also less processor intensive since it doesn't need to recreate everything.Make sure you add wait 1 frame though, otherwise it will just endlessly try to run it again and again on the same frame.Anyway that is how events work
>>4014840"I know there's desperate sluts in my area. I have a mirror!"
>>4015560>They want people to be impressed with their custom menus. But then they never release their FUCKING game.That applies to more than just the menus. XD But yes, you shouldn't trust devs & ignore them, if they don't already have a history of releasing & finishing games.Because it's likely they won't finish the game. Or, they are faking some of the material they are showcasing and it wouldn't be in the final version as shown. >>4015366>After failing so many times in unity, I feel like I should go back to rpg maker.How does one fail with a game engine tool... exactly? You could stay in Unity & use RPG Maker too. With Unite out there, and U2U coming along.But yes, come back to the Gospel of RPG Maker.>>4014840>Ai generatorThere's tensorhub.art...I've used it's free-er SFW version tensor.artAnd, I haven't seen any warnings in pixai.art, so perhaps that might be unrestricted too. (Though my testing & search was a while ago for everything.)
>>4015362I wish Carol were more popular... her design is so cute and pretty.
What are some QoL plugins for mz?
>>4015648shut up, tranny
>>4015662do you actually like a character if you have to change her features when you draw her?
>>4015858Do you actually like a character if their features change, regardless?
>>4015648>But yes, you shouldn't trust devs & ignore them, if they don't already have a history of releasing & finishing games.Agressive, and I disagree. Some people are interrested in developing for games, but don't have all of the skills including the patience and determination needed. Some of them don't even have time due to a full time job or for other reasons.Grouping every rpg maker asset developer together with those trying to garner patreon donations or fame by posting their work on twitter, reddit, youtube, etc., who tend to cheat with ai to speed up the ability to release small content and garner more attention, clearly have other interests than those who want to make things themselves, so I find it wrong. I also think it is a problem that these smaller asset developers get ignored and overshadowed by those who have a face on the internet. After all, those with popularity end up deciding how.every one who develops content for RPG Maker is looked at.>>4015560>They want people to be impressed with their custom menusNo. Normal asset developers just want to be useful. They want people to use their shit, not to be impressed. I recommend not looking at ads on reddit.Also both you and Sigma don't seem to realize that wasn't the point of the comment. It's MV's default menu; they're trying to mock them for 'showing something they have seen repeatedly'. The whole combination of "ignore asset devs" + them using AI to do stuff, makes me sigh, because...He claims to be a developer currently, yet we can see Sigma using AI a lot. So it makes me wonder, is Sigma developing his game or is a collection of AI tools doing it, and Sigma merely telling the AI how to make it? Speed and amount of releases doesn't say a lot either. You can get assetflips or janky AI works out in a week.or a short visual novelMeh-
>>4016051>Some people are interrested in developing for games,>Some of them don't even have time due to a full time job or for other reasons.The comment I was responding to, detached from the context, was about someone looking at showcase of a feature pushed & aggrandized by a developer, and being disappointed when the game with that feature never comes out. This is not to shoot down people who aren't serious game devs, and develop just for fun without aiming for releasing anything. But rather, to get people (specifically gamers) to taper their expectations looking at showcases, and not get hyped up about being able to play them one day.And rather, look into the dev, and see if they have a history of releasing. If they don't, they should just look at the showcase no different than a video or an image... of a concept, rather than an actual game that's ever going to come out or be playable. >who tend to cheat with ai to speed up the ability to release small content and garner more attention, clearly have other interests than those who want to make things themselves, so I find it wrong.But this can be said about NSFW RPG Maker game devs, who make plain (or even ugly) RTP games, with somewhat decent quality (commissioned) art, just to get the bag. (And they do. Same with many others who make low effort games, or people who commision artists to slap good art over a bland game with a bland story.)To say, this is not something new. It's something that has been happening. Game devs and/or artists exploiting our sensitivity to visuals, to get quick popularity, fame, or buck. (Exploiting via visuals has been made more accessible with AI.)Before they were asking AI to do it, they were commissioning artists. Same intentions, more accessibility.>I also think it is a problem that these smaller asset developers get ignored and overshadowed by those who have a face on the internet.I'm aware it's a problem. I tried to tackle this via my RPG Maker News work for years.
>>4016051>Also both you and Sigma don't seem to realize that wasn't the point of the comment. I know the context. But the thread of comment I picked up had moved away from that. >The whole combination of "ignore asset devs" + them using AI to do stuffMy comment was about ignoring certain game devs. Not asset devs. >_<>So it makes me wonder, is Sigma developing his game or is a collection of AI tools doing it, and Sigma merely telling the AI how to make it?This is what your comment sounds like to me, based on how I go about using AI: >"So it makes me wonder, is Sigma developing his game or is photoshop doing it, and Sigma merely telling photoshop how to make it?"...since, I use a dozen tools to get something made to put in my game. And particular AI-generative tools, are part of that. If I could hypothetically have AI do it all, and create better & more unique games than I can right now by myself. I would do it. I just want to be able to tell & share the stories in my head, with the cast of characters i've created, and share them with the world in the format that is beloved to me (anime & videogames). Which is why, the process doesn't concern me.You only have a case against me, if my games or content within them lower in quality with the added usage of AI-generative tools.
>>4016071i'll translate this one for you anons: yes ai is making his game for him. also he's a tranny
>>4014200>but what?fighting games
In case you forgot what the internet was like before 2022, people were refusing help from people long before they were refusing AI.
it's heartbreaking knowing i won't submit anything to the jam i signed up for, especially since it was my fault and i have no excuse.ah well. i'll chip away at it regardless because I like what I've done so far, but I guess I just work too slowly for game jams. still, i'm happy I signed up since it made me, like, make game again
I spent a lot of time creating the idea and the story of my game and I was looking at a thread on /v/ and I realized that I just accidentally reinvented Shin Megami Tensei 2 and I don't know if I should make it regardless.
>>4016240>worrying about getting knocked for being unoriginal when the most popular RPG Maker games either copypaste 99% of their scripts from public domain literature and fairy tales and tell wholly uninspired and unoriginal stories, or steal from anime and manga shamelessly, wholesaleJust make whatever the fuck you want.
>>4016258Yeah, you're right. People won't care.
>>4016071>This is what your comment sounds like to me, based on how I go about using AI: >So it makes me wonder, is Sigma developing his game or is Photoshop doing itI don't think it is a fair comparisant. Photoshop has AI integration, so it is also silly.What you mean to say is more like "Is Sigma creating a game, or is the Chrome browser doing that using JavaScript?"Or by extend, "Is Google making the game?" since they created chrome, or "Is Nvidia making the game?" in case you use an nvidia GPU to render it on your screen, which in essense google instructs, which in essence the javascript instructions instruct, which in essence someone or an AI made, which in essense is instructed by Sigma to do things. ...It wasn't really about any of that though.When you tell your employees to create something in a specific way you're still a developer. In that same sense, when you order tools to do something you're also creating.However... AI nowadays has "Agents", Ai using AI to do stuff.You say "Make a game with this as its plot", and the AI will automatically generate the whole game basically.The question is about effort and time spend on actually working on something, not just watching something happen when it is about creating a creative work. My original comment was about spending time making stuff, and how much effort this costs peopleas well. The way I looked at that time at your original comment was, thinking that you'd let AI do that all. and then calling other devs are lazy for only having made a menu system or something, which- as you're not programming it yourself as well, wouldn't be very valid in my opinion.Like sure, you can say the same against a newb vs a professional who is educated, trained, and experienced and then realizing the pro needs a few days to do something the newb takes a couple of months, but- it still costs the newbie more effort and time.I am not against you or your work, just saying.
I'm trying to make a brawler class that is based off the normal attack command in MZ, fill it with passives that alter the basic attack in different ways, more hits, different animation for the repeated hits, different sound and if possible I want the unused strikes to find and hit a different target after the original one dies, so they don't go unused.Is visustella combat core the only plugin that can help me achievie this? I suck at programming to try to do it any other way and I really would rather not give up and just make a skill "You hit the enemy 5 times" instead.
>>4016411Have you used it before? Are you not satisfied with it?
>>4016385>I don't think it is a fair comparisant. Photoshop has AI integration, so it is also silly.I missed that... (T_T) because I use a photoshop alternative that doesn't have AI integrated. Affinity Photo. That I think people wouldn't be familiar with so I opted saying photoshop instead.>What you mean to say is more like "Is Sigma creating a game, or is the Chrome browser doing that using JavaScript?">However... AI nowadays has "Agents", Ai using AI to do stuff.I see now what you meant & where you're coming from. Though, it's quite the jump to assume that just because someone utilizes AI tools, that they might be using the latest & greatest tech of it, or the most expensive version of it. I've never used AI agents. I do not know their capabilities. I've also never used a paid AI product/tool, I don't know their full capabilities either. (A lot of what I hear about them, is absolutely hyped, I feel. To sell the services.)>The question is about effort and time spend on actually working on somethingMy experience with using AI tools is additive to what I was already doing. Which means, I'm having to work more, across more tools, and it's getting me better results.I just asked Google Gemini (after countless failed attempts to do it myself prior) to code me a plugin, that renders the out-of-screen map environment less. Since my game was at constant 3x zoom but RPG Maker was rendering it still at 1x zoom. Inserting this plugin significantly boosted my game's performance. (Without using AI here, my game would just be... less optimized.)Then I posed my character in 3D, and inserted it into Gemini and asked it to redraw it in retro anime style, so I can use it as wallpaper on my in-game desktop. (Without using AI in this instance, I'd just have used the 3D model as image. Which would have been less work, but wouldn't have looked as good.)>(continued...)
>>4016520(continuing...)...the point is, these are tools. If someone is being lazy with them, then it's something that will be apparent. Like when people make bland RTP games with RPG Maker or asset flips with unity or unreal. You do not want to be like the people who look at an actual decent game made in RPG Maker, and dismiss it just because it's made utilizing RPG Maker. The same thing that has happened to us, to you, you are doing with people utilizing AI. By generalizing the lazy asset flippers with ones who genuinely use it as an additive, for their effort & and the quality of output. [Not pushing all this on you as if you are the one doing it. I'm speaking more in general, as to the state of affairs is with using AI tools in the RPG Maker community.]>I am not against you or your work, just saying.I know.People who are against my work, were stating that the whole of my games were made with AI years ago, when AI was far less capable & I hadn't even used utilized it beyond just exploring it in videos. XD
