    Looking for Art Critique - WIP

    All very good for someone starting out! The bullets would look better if they were darker and had a more brassy hue. The hangun ammo also looks kinda squished and chunky. Can't wait to see what else you come out with
  2. For stuff you dont want others to use then this is the best area http://www.rpgmakercentral.com/forum/41-artwork-gallery/ but its got more of a 'general purpose' than 'game development' vibe. If you intend to share them eventually it may be best to post here http://www.rpgmakercentral.com/forum/196-rpg-maker/ and just make it clear that their works in progress. I've noticed more of the latter tbh but no harm either way.
  3. ***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***'

      Nooo, not thee announcemeeeeeents!

       

      o///o

      I sure Scotland gets them, I just haven't seen any in my nearby stores (which is weird since I live near a main street). I might just have never noticed them haha. There not very popular in my family since they never buy or mention them. 

       

      However, Lone has made me want one now o.o

      There's gotta be a candy shop somewhere around you, right? Raid it! Raid it now!

    3. Tarq

      Tarq

      If not, then there's gotta be kids. And they're really easy to take candy from. Its, like, their specialty or something.

    Card Design Critique

    Hey forums, Looking for some general advice to make my cards look less noobish. I'm hoping for info regarding the structure/layout of the cards which could then be applied to improve all my cards, although suggestions specific to the examples I provide wouldn't hurt me either There's two card types: Troop card (stars by the name indicate Officer cards or tribute summons in other people words) and Command cards (with both flavour text and instructions for use these need to have room for text) As you can see, right now they're pretty bland and generic looking. Editing the RTP is about the extent of my ability so that's something to keep in mind; always happy to learn something new though :3 More examples can be provided if it helps.
  5. Nice icon. Doesn't really sell 'alien mind control' to me but it sure looks good. Anyways, welcome to the forums, looking forward toseeing your stuff

    Card Design Critique

    @Perang Cemen Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, it is quite YuGiOhish; you can get a better idea by looking here That's pretty outdated by now though. Striving to get a new build out by year's end though Will be looking to remake the cards after that.

      Hmm, think I forgot to 'publish' it when I originally posted this; kinda weird since they provided the linking options. Anyways, should work now.

      Chaosian

      Ayy, that's a really cool look. Speed it up a tad though, I think. Needs a good sound to go with it too!

      Looks very awesome.

    ^Six calls in the last forty minutes, any takers on how many before the day is through?

      Lolz. Everyone thinks they're special.

      All animals are equal. But some are more equal than others lone ;)

       

      Surprisingly the final figure is only 18 (from my small department), with approx. half of those discharged from refusing to attend (they had repeatedly rescheduled or failed to attend previously). I do enjoy when they try to argue their 'rights' with me like they know the healthboard's regulations better than staff :lol:

    Sovereignty: TCG

    Sooo. I haven't done any work on the AI this week. I'm sure I'll still get a new demo by year end, although ideally I wont have to rollback the AI to do so. I have made 8 new command cards though, so the card pool has reached 80. Just been in the mood to muck around with GIMP lately :3 Also planned a few small tweaks to make the next demo feel closer to the finished product. They should only come to most of a day total. Oh, what's that? I have a day off tomorrow? Well, isn't that something. Haven't thought any further on a new name so the little game mentioned above is still open
  10. Got the 'lesser' promotion I mentioned last week. Little disappointed because I was getting more into the idea of the other position, but hey, not ungrateful for what I got.

    1. lonequeso

      lonequeso

      Congratulations! More money and working close to home are both good things to have. This new position can be a stepping stone on your way up.

    Hmm, if you struggle to get five judges together before it starts then pm me.
  12. Got my xmas gift early because my pa wants to make sure it works. So my pc now has a 1tb ssd ^^

    1. Tarq

      Tarq

      You can get off-brand ssd's at a decent price these days. Treat yourself :)

      There's no kids in the family anymore so xmas is a bit of a formality anyways. Im hosting for the first time this year :)

      My PC is a semi-old laptop. I don't really use it for gaming so it's fine for what I use it for

       

       Ooo... Party at Tarq's house! I'll bring the brandy! Who's got the egg nog?

    3. freakytapir

      Don't know about egg nog, but I've got a lovely homebrew christmas beer.

    $$$ for Rpg Maker VX Ace bugfix

    Actually, the screen says enough for a start; The user is trying to use a method that they have not defined or have defined somewhere that Game_Character doesn't inherit from. But yeah, 'fixing' this, as in preventing it from happening, would be a trivial matter. As for what the user is actually trying to accomplish by calling this list, well, maybe its a big enough job to require a further incentive, maybe it isn't.

    Sovereignty: TCG

    Been working on this again recently. Not going to share just yet as I want to fix the AI which currently does something that's accidentally quite brilliant; if it can't make a decent move it just does nothing and waits you out xD I intend to have a new version out by the end of the year though. This biggest addition is an in-game tutorial, at players request, and I'd love feedback on that when the time comes as so much of the game is obviously intuitive to me. Also, not only is there another game called Sovereignity, but now another RM game called Sovereignity ¬.¬ I guess that's fine since the direction has shifted a lot from how it was first conceived about a game played amongst kings. Here's the fun consequence; if someone suggests a name I like by christmas they can have a free game. I'll pm the winner a list and they can pick one or two that they want. Well, best get back to it. Have a good weekend all
  15. Being considered for a couple of new positions. Nothing concrete yet ofc but would be a strong start to the new year,

    1. lonequeso

      lonequeso

      That similar one sounds really tempting. I'm lazy and suck at planning ahead so I know that's the one I'd go for. 

    2. Plague Docteur

      I wish you the best of luck Tarq, regardless of which position you ultimately shoot for!

    3. Tarq

      Tarq

      Thanks Plague :)

      I'm pretty lazy too lone so hopefully the decision will be made for me :lol:

    Hello, I'm new here.

    Welcome to the forums. Look forward to all your games
  17. Here's the thing lone; as far as I'm aware PS wasn't asked not to roleplay. But since a few comments recently have been in other languages kaz put a reminder in the status updates. ----- But that's enough from me. As long as the facts are straight I'd rather try to prevent this further spiralling by adding my own negative inflection.
  18. You know all the staff can erase/edit anything you say at any time right. Yet we don't. We leave you to your tantrums. Telling you when you're objectively wrong isn't censorship. Particularly when you're calling out the site and its staff. So I'll leave you with the sentiment I left when I wrote on that status update you erased (how's that for censorship). If you want to speak another language go to a site that supports it. As you're stating yourself, its a big world out there, plenty of that there internet too. As for this idea of contextless inclusivity; would you go to a yoga class and complain that they didn't let you skateboard there? Actually, maybe you would. You're so enlightened that way.
  19. If only you spent half the time considering why a rule exists rather than spending that time ranting. There are so many, incredibly obvious, reasons why members are asked to speak English here that it boggles the mind. And amusing considering how you insist that you 'put yourself in someone else's shoes'. Honestly, people like you are why people consider the political left a joke nowadays. I'm half convinced you're a Kremlin agent
  20. Idk the original of this game so I cant give too much feedback in that regard. I would say that unless you are an accomplished artist with a recognisable style (say, Hirei or Amysaurus) then it would probably be better to focus on as direct an emulation of the original graphics as you can muster; The faithful are always going to criticise any changes to their beloved source but at least if you've got your own style then you're competent enough to make a good case for the change. As for targeting certain demographics, well, you can't please everyone all the time. The RM community are typically too busy devving themselves to pay too much attention to others' games. Ofc, showing a sincere interest in others' projects tends to foster goodwill and mutual interest between devs. There's also the contradiction of the monopolisation of traffic by the 'real' forums; a many times larger audience for your game but its tantamount to being in a cramped room with everyone shouting. As for the recruitment side of this thread....What are you actually looking for? You want people to volunteer for what exactly?
  21. Rare, peaceful Sunday working on a game. Hope everyone's is as pleasant.

    1. lonequeso

      lonequeso

      Not gonna hold my breath for that. I'd be happy with 8-8.

    2. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      I still remember when 8-8 got the Broncos to the Playoffs (we lost but still it was something if not just damn lucky).

      Ah. Yes. Sports.

      Go animals!

    Literally FREE money (Android only)

    I'm not sure how this money is any more 'free' than that gained by any other form of labour.

    Spammers on the Prowl (PSA)

    The staff are aware of botting, its not a new issue and members are not in any way vulnerable to their accounts being hacked by bots or whatever PS is trying to suggest. Ofc, I'm not suggesting people be less safe on the internet but don't go calling your banks or follow any other bad irrelevant advice you may be provided; You're not ninety year olds using your grandkids' laptop for the first time, you know not to click shady links. The reason for the increased bot activity is because Riki and Kaz understand them best and are able to prevent a great deal of them before they've even had the chance to be active. They're not around much atm for reasons you already know. The rest of us require the member to act suspiciously before we're certain they're bots and act. So just be your usual good-natured forumers and report the bad stuff we don't catch and everything will continue smoothly. No drama required.
  24. You used to see a fair few TBS games made with RM a few years back but never 4X games despite the considerable design overlap. A suggestion for you 'Ruby GameMakers' out there.

    1. Kayzee

      Kayzee

      I really need to get my hands on a few 4X games... Only one I have played was Civilization. The first one. I have lots of fond memories of it. Including ones of hacking saved games. Sometimes to have a difficulty setting beyond the normal hardest, taking control of barbarians, and some other weird things. That was amusingly chaotic.

    2. Rezanta

      Rezanta

      Interesting. I haven't exactly found a 4X game of liking yet, but maybe I'll run into one.

  25. Booked a long weekend to do that fifty mile challenge. Very much looking forward to seeing if I can do it all in one go tomorrow.
