Making progress! 
 
 

I wish you luck on your projects as well!

Looks like the forums have some troubles, please stay patient. 😓

I did something to help myself. 

I suk so bad, that I even need to cheat in my own games. 
jk, jk, that stuff is just handy, because I can adjust stats / test things on the fly, without having to change the code all over the place and keep restarting the game, you know how it goes.

Looks like the forums have encountered a problem. Please be patient. 😓

I decided to put some music I made for my game up on Soundcloud. I have used it before to share a track or two to people privately but I put a bunch of stuff as public today.
 
I just figured since I haven't been working on my game much lately I might as well upload some of the music that I feel kinda proud of, just so something I have been working on is out there somewhere.

Well, it's been slow with my latest project, but I think I've got this...

Starting a new project.
The previous one just got to the point of overcomplicated to fix, especially since I know not what is in error.

So, this new one is going to be less complex, I hope...
(my super-charged creativity makes 'simple' impossible)

I'm extremely late with this, but happy birthday! 😁
I hope it was a great day for you.

I wonder if Minerva and Kotori still stay in touch. They were a pretty active duo back in the day

testing; don't mind that status

I love this community and miss how active it used to be...https://imgur.com/w1pEVGX

Eric! The tester of many games...

I finally got a laptop! But...of course...it can't run any of the RPG Makers. Sigh.

Updates should make things better, right? 🤔
 
GIGABYTE apparently decided to go the other way. AORUS ENGINE (GPU driver of some sort) was working really nice, but then.. There was that Awesome™ update that split its functionality into two pieces of software ~ introducing RGB Fusion for LED management. Of course, I didn't like that right from the beginning ~ I so dislike having to install more software, than necessary. 😓
 
Anyway, that aside, holy balls! Not only it has less options, but it also is almost like a virus of some sort. That Amazing!™ software seem to open command prompt (?) once in a while ~ like once per hour or two. It literally appears for just few milliseconds, so it's hard to tell what it exactly is. The problem is, that this ultra-quick pop-up steals the focus of the window, so if you're working on something, there is that chance, that it will randomly interrupt you for these few milliseconds. And the worst thing is, that if you're playing a game on fullscreen mode, it successfully minimizes the game and throws you to desktop. 
 
At first I was kinda scared, that something is not right with my system in general, but thankfully this is the only software I have installed lately and also thankfully it started doing this immediately, so I knew it had something to do with it, which saved me some hassle. I disabled that software and everything is back to normal. I hope they'll fix this as soon as possible.
 
Seems like everyone loves that new Fantastic™ feature. 😂

Damn, it's cold outside. My room is also cold as a result of the furnace not working properly. it really affects me when I sleep or when I go out of my room...
it doesn't help with creative flow either, but even still, I've managed little bursts of progress here and there.

I now realize the pain of that reboot. I've lost all my templates for RPGM... 
Also GIMP's updated so now I'm super not used to it and everythings weird >.<
 
Templates made me lazy so I forgot all the specific pixels for stuff now so now I need to go relearn that to make more templates.
rip.

A Windows update literally broke my computer... After a very complicated case of trying to access files I had to reboot the entire PC.
 
I rebooted with the "keep files" option, and now my PC is fixed and actually usable, the reboot in fact did not keep my files... I've lost everything, and I had no chance to back them up since the update was mandatory and just happened...
 
It was also a 6 hour update -.-
 
Goodbye game progression~
Goodbye drawings I never got to upload or finish~
Goodbye game saves~
 
I'm very salty right now...............

- Sister buys a cinnamon scented candle melt/freshner.
- Tells her I'm allergic to cinnamon so she can only use it in her bedroom with her door closed.
- Comes home from work, smells cinnamon, sister says "I forgot".
 
So now my throat hurts, It's hard to breathe and my sister just sits casually in her room like "oopsies".
 
This is why I'm not a family person.

My brother got a job not so long ago and the first thing he aims for is a new PC, because his current one is 'meh'.
That would require waiting months though, so I asked him if he'd like me to buy one for him, to which he agreed. I just ordered his PC right now; he'll eventually give me bits back at some point in the future.
With that being said... I assume gaming together will get more intense. 🎉

Uh... I had forgotten all about this place. But, yeah, I'm back-ish. Lots of stuff happened, but let's just say that it's all good things and I'm at a place where I want to be. And I miss messing with RPG Maker.

Actually opened RM and did a little work on Sovereignty today. Determined to push through this last leg and finish this.

One of the things I've noticed with the help file in every RGSS iteration of RPG Maker is that it says that one can make something other than an RPG with it. I'm curious to know if someone has done this, to the letter of something like a racing game or a puzzle game or Hell, a shooter.

Ouh I feel terrible today, I hope the worst is over. I'll better go to bed now.
