The tornado that tore arse through Andover, the storm began its' life over Haysville, where I currently reside. Can you imagine, having something like that happening so nearby...

Great, I'm now a 40-year-old Old Man, yay.

Well... Where did the time go?
I'm alive. Just too busy working on my projects.

How many eons has it been since I was AWOL? None seems asked nor care about, Hmph! I'm so sad... well I don't feel like to stack another the hello post so I'll just say it here, Hi there it's me! No-no I'm not it's me-it's me scam, alright I'll stop that lame joke, it's been long since... sorry I don't even remember, my memory is messed up as you can see just like in the past, anyway I'll be hanging around here again for sometime so please bear with me, and of course give me a warm welcome, RMC are the most kind sites I ever know compare to *cough* *cough* anyway thanks if you do read till the end, althought I doubt who would read something as vague as this.

Oh wow... I knew they announced a remaster of Chrono Cross a while ago, but I didn't know it would also come with a version of Radical Dreamers as well! And also they announced a remake of Live-A-Live of all things! Square is really diving through it's old library huh?

Edit: Apparently they are doing a remake of the original Front Mission too. Never got into the series, but more old games being remade well is nice to see.

Yes, finally got Roland MT-32 emulation working with dosbox! Now I can play Ultima Underworld, Ultima 7, Ultima Underworld 2 and/or Ultima 7 Part 2, (yes that's the canon order) with the music sounding like it's supposed to.

Mind I donno if I actually will ever play those games any time soon, but now I can with proper music!

"Play Hard, Neversoft..."

Since XP, VX and VX Ace are deprecated, the source code should be available, so that certain problems can actually be fixed.

Maybe then, the experience will be better going forward.

Note, I didn't say make the source code public. Yet.

Evil-5 is one of my favorite characters from the standard Ace pack. I just did a remaster LL version of him.

I love it.

Hi everyone! Long time no see

Is anyone else having issues with the forum?  Google is telling me that it "can't prove it's www.rpgmakercentral.com.

I worked on my game today! Yay! I overhauled my boss battle and fixed a freezing softlock bug. Not sure anyone cares about my game, but I did update it!

Ah, yeah, I slept for the feast of gluttony. I ate pillow.

Well, that settles it.
I'll never switch to Google for anything. I'll use MEGA instead.

I got an email, that someone tried to download one of my crappy games, but couldn't due to Google's changes in security and stuff.

I don't like the new security update, because it STILL didn't fix ANY of the inconveniences I'm facing, but only introduced more of them, making all this process even more painful for me and everyone interested in downloading those files. Like, apparently you have to be logged into Google to be able to download the files - I'm not sure everyone will like it. It can be disabled, but they didn't really make it convenient to do, tons of clicking for each file.

Guess I'll have to run all over the place fixing links and stuff. Aaaand rip posts in communities I no longer visit. Thanks Google.

Edit: Actually despite having to reconfigure each individually, it's not that bad, as disabling the security update for the file brings it all to normal and everything works, so in the end everything can be fixed within Google Drive itself. That works I guess.

I finally made a topic for my game! Phew, I have been putting it off for like forever.

I'm so incredibly happy. After over five years in development, I finally launched my game the other day on the 27th.  Getting to this point has been the biggest struggle of my life, but I finally got here. Reviews have been good so far, and I hope the success continues! Thank you for everyone's support here, I learned a lot through this process. I even completed the Ruby course for SoloLearn and got a little certificate. 

Do you remember that music video I showed you once about the little guy riding on the dragon to the center of the planet to turn on a switch that turned it into a disco ball that lit up another planet that caused ruins to rise out of the ground turning into a dance floor? I can't remember what that was called and now I donno how to find it!

Today I'm contemplating my battle system because I'm working on weapons.  There are a few questions weighing on my mind:

1.  How many upgrades should each player have for weapons?  The game isn't going to be long, so I can't imagine that it would make sense coming up with some vast array of incremental upgrades.  I know that I want each player to have a "special" weapon made just for them, and their starting weapons.  I feel like if I don't have at least one upgraded weapon, people won't be happy.

2.  What should I do about damage calculations?  In my first game, I screwed this up big time.  In the beginning, players were one-shotted.  In the end, bosses I expected to be extra hard were total pushovers.  I really want this game to represent an improvement in my game development skills.  

3.  The big one:  How do I make the battle FEEL like a wild west shoot out with the current battle system?  I have a few little ideas, but it's really not fully fleshed out, yet.  Some things I've managed to figure out are that my gunslinger should be focusing on the number of bullets being put into the air.  My Sniper should be high powered, precise, but slow.  My mage should...  well...  be a mage?  I'm not sure how my Ranger will work though.  His shotgun is great for crowd controlling weak enemies, but I want to develop skills that make him special so that players don't feel like he's dead weight in the party.  In the storyline, he's supposed to be on par in terms of combat skill with the gunslinger, so he should be at least as useful in a fight.  Is being able to crowd control enemies enough to set him apart?
