Finally!!! I've been working on this for SOOOOO LOOONG!
 

Eh, I planned to release "literally anything" from the pony game by the end of my vacations, but it will have to wait a bit longer heh.
Today I had a rather tough day. I slept only about two hours, because I woke up in pain and had to get up to take some painkillers (I still feel bad, I'll take more painkillers before going to sleep and maybe tomorrow will be better). I kinda wonder if I won't end up having to take them everyday heh, something's going on... Nevertheless, I worked all day despite that, hoping to get something released today, but it's just not quite ready yet. I did clean & optimize tons and tons of code, I did implement various features like;
- woah Twi can actually die now, visuals for that are WIP though (coz for now twi just explodes kek)
- all spells have properly setup tiers and they can level up
- various new sounds and stuff
- ignore the "ducking" text, I keep it for collision testing and stuff
the prototype is pretty much ready to be released as the core features are covered, but I've encountered some lil bugs I'd like to fix first -- and maybe add few more minor things.
It's not like there will be anything epic to see yet, there's literally about a minute of actual content I guess. If you'd ask me, I wouldn't really recommend playing it, unless one would be curious about what's there and how the game plays. What I mostly want is to finally have something released, so that the game will start actually existing, so to speak.
This video shows pretty much everything there is atm. I'm still polishing core features, before I'll be able to put more content.
Also, all music tracks here are placeholder assets.

Now I better should go to sleep.

Me trying to create OST:
- thinking about the place I want a soundtrack for
- starts putting notes
- realizes I'm getting something completely different
- reee let's try to make something out of it anyway, perhaps I'll find a use for it
- profit?
It's not what I was looking for, but actually it's kiiinda close to something else I was thinking of, so I may have some use for that.
 

Hi! I'm an author, working on a screenplay, and now dipping my fingers in the realm of game developing! I'm very excited. My first jaunt into this whole new adventure is a fantasy game titled Askaria: The Decay.
 
A bit about me! I'm bi. All of my projects contain LGBTQ+ characters. I'm old.... (well, kinda...) I'm also dealing with an injury sustained while I was at work 3 years ago. The injury is part of why I've decided to take a leap into game development and screenplay writing. ^.^  
 
I am a wife, a mother, and a lover of fur animals. We have three (four if you include our minion romping around the house. He just doesn't have any fur...) Two cats, the mighty hunter Anubis, the big momma Kida. And lastly, the loveable husky pup Mishka.

Ver.A0.2 B0.0.2.4 (03.06.2021)
- Fixed: Rewrote PLAYER COLLISION SYSTEM, fixing gamebreaking bugs the previous one had
- Added: Error Codes & Crash Prevention for bugs related to PLAYER COLLISION
Basically I fixed various teleporting glitches caused by specific scenarios. Now Twi can squeeze into tight passages without glitching out or getting stuck.
Should she for some reason get stuck, she'll be slowly pushed upwards, instead of being yeeted somewhere or causing the game to freeze. Initially I didn't consider the possibility of getting stuck inside a wall, but during testing I realized, that things happen, you never know.

The slopes add TONS of work in regards to collision, and tons of code too, due to many scenarios they add. When I handled one possibility (read: set of blocks' angles she was squeezing through), another one was causing troubles. I was toying and toying until I got them all "patched", so to speak... at least I think so.  I guess time will tell.

0.0.2.3 - A0.2 - 24.05.2021
made some sounds in famitracker 
music is a placeholder- don't mind that, just wanted to put something, so I've put an old track I've made
There's still many things that need to be improved, so yeah, don't mind their stupid AI and stuff 

Trying to balance out damage formulas is really tough work...

okay, key rebinding functional 
Also when thingie goes yellow - it means the setting has been changed and not yet applied; quitting the menu will revert changes if "apply" won't be pressed beforehand.
And when it goes red, it simply means the key is already used somewhere else and the game will be like "that's legaln't! "
And with that, the options in pause menu are pretty much done, checkpoint reached, time for backups and stuff.

Hey, I was thinking of this place the other day - remembering some good times and bad times circa 2015.
Thought I'd poke my head in and see if anything was still happening. Anyone still around I remember? Anyone still around that remembers me? Anyone become the hit indie sensation yet? Anyone ever finish their RPG-maker septologies? 😅

I started doing a sheet of RTP edits. I started with some more modern looking firearms based off the default pistol.
 

 
 
What do you think so far?
 

New icon edits for card booster packs.
 

Today I made a simple character creator with events and script calls, so I'm feeling good about myself 😁

I coded a spell that won't be used in game for lols and it's pretty funny lmao 
 

posted some stuff for ace 
 

Before the full time job, I can make 1 MZ plugin per day, even though it's still hard; With the full time job, making 1 such plugin per week becomes just as hard lol

Hey! Long time no see! Hope you all are doing well!

Finally, couple hours of ranting about bugs and things not working, I managed to write 10 lines of code to implement the ability to summon a chicken on an empty tile on the map (video)
 
 

Dabbled in making 3D models after being addicted to Skyrim again, and I wanted to make some mods. So I learned Blender (somewhat) and then thought "man, my life dream has always been to make my own AAA quality 3D action adventure RPG game. I should totally learn Unreal Engine." I thought, hey, it has blueprints, so that's already sort of like RPG Maker, but for 3D, right?
Well after two weeks of hell, with every solution I find for a problem coming up with 3 more issues, I have decided not to go down the 3D game development route.

New profile pic!

Well, I turned 38 today. Yippee-ki-yay! My mom visited me today, without wearing a mask! I have asthma so if I catch the Doomsday Virus, I'm a goner.
 
Not-so-Fun Fact: Seems the Covid-19 virus is a hybrid viral bio weapon consisting of at least SARS & HIV. That means severe & permanent lung damage as well as the destruction of your immune system, which is probably why people are either getting reinfected, or the virus goes into remission like Herpes & can flare back up later, which only seems like a reinfection, but its really that you can't develop antibodies for it because of the HIV aspect of it.

Mmm. Its been a long time. How's everyone keeping?
