Hello and welcome! I hope everything goes well!

Hello, hello and welcome! Don't worry, no bans for that, but the opposite ~ all game dev activity is welcomed, and while the forums indeed focus on RPG Maker, all other engines are accepted as well. I myself no longer work with RPG Maker (used to work with Ace), I switched to Game Maker Studio, because all games I did in RPG Maker weren't even RPG's anyway, I coded them from scratch, so hah, I didn't use RM the right way. Assets sound interesting, looking forward to see your stuff!

Hello and welcome! I hope you'll have a good time here.

I don't own MV, so can't test anything, but I know it uses JS, so perhaps just using the Math.min() method would work there? Basically this method returns the lowest number from provided arguments (separated by commas), for example; Math.min(235, 111, 563) => will return 111 Math.min(100+100+300, 200) => will return 200 So what you need is to put your damage formula as one of the arguments, and 9999 as the other. Using your formula (Base Power * a.mat - b.mdf), the damage formula with the cap would be: Math.min(Base Power * a.mat - b.mdf, 9999) This will either return Base Power * a.mat - b.mdf OR 9999, whichever is lower, thus capping the damage output at 9999. That's just my guess, because I'm not sure how damage formulas are processed there.

Hello there! How are things going?

Hello and welcome! Good luck on your game-dev journey!

Yeah, yeah, sadly it all still goes by their ID's. There will be icons in the future. Planning to slowly work on local multiplayer next, once that's done, I'll get to online multiplayer.

A Rogue-Like Shoot 'em up Game v . 0 . 1 . 1 . 0 The game is in early stage of development and everything seen there is not indicative of the final product. ============================================= A B O U T ============================================= Shups is a game in which you're controlling a spaceship and your objective is to survive the endless swarm of enemies. The game challenges players with constantly raising difficulty, which makes enemies more and more aggressive as the time goes to the point, where it becomes unbearable. Your aid in the endless fight are items, that allow you to raise your parameters indefinitely. Some items will cause various effects to happen and these too, can be stacked for even more mayhem! Aside that, destroying enemy ships grants player experience, which boosts base parameters with each level-up. The game currently lacks any real goal to achieve and therefore, players are expected to die at some point. The current challenge is to survive as long as possible. How far will you go? ============================================= S C R E E N S H O T S ============================================= Title Screen - someday it will be better lol A wild rare item has appeared! LEVEL UP! BOOM BOOM BOOM! (Note: Hold TAB to view STATISTICS or toggle with CAPS LOCK) Woo the game was so kind to throw a legendary item (Firecrackers) at me pretty early. "Maybe it'll be a good run..." ============================================= D O W N L O A D ============================================= PLATFORM: Windows FILE TYPE: .exe (installer) ESTIMATED GAME LENGTH: A single good run can go beyond 30 minutes.

If you'd like your credits to be an image with text that is scrolled, then all you need is to just update the y position. For that approach you'd need to create an another Sprite and assign the image to its bitmap (like you did with the background) and then add an update method, that will keep adjusting the Y position of that image, making it go up. For example, in the Scene_Credits, you'd first add the Sprite (credits image) #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Create Scrolling Text #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def create_text @scrolling_text = Sprite.new @scrolling_text.bitmap = Cache.picture("CREDITS_IMAGE") end and then add an update method, that is run every frame (60/sec) #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Update #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def update super @scrolling_text.y -= 1 # to move it 1 pixel UPWARDS per frame end That should get the job done for what it's worth. You may want to adjust the Y position in the create method, so that it starts with a blank screen while the text is just about to show up. For that set the Y position of that sprite to the HEIGHT of your game window like this: #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Create Scrolling Text #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def create_text @scrolling_text = Sprite.new @scrolling_text.bitmap = Cache.picture("CREDITS_IMAGE") @scrolling_text.y = Graphics.height end As I was going to mention to remember to dispose the sprite, I noticed that your existing dispose method isn't run either, as it lacks its own terminate method that would point to sprite disposal, so you may want to fix that. To the Scene_Credits, also add this: #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Termination Processing #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def terminate super dispose_background # now your dispose method will be run dispose_scrolling_text # for the scrolling sprite end and then of course the dispose method for the scrolling text. #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Dispose Scrolling Text #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def dispose_scrolling_text @scrolling_text.bitmap.dispose @scrolling_text.dispose end You could also just plug the two dispose lines to the existing method you have instead, that would work too.
