Anybody know where I can find VX Ace horror resources? I've bought all the buyable ones.

tutorial TUTORIAL: Moving background for trains and trams
AutumnAbsinthe posted a blog entry in Abby Freeman Makes A Game
In this tutorial, I'll be teaching you how to make a moving train/tram/other vehicle/etc. without much work! This is NOT the same as a vehicle event. This is to get the effect of movement in the background. This is something I decided to do in my remake of the first Half-Life game, for the first chapter, Black Mesa Inbound. WHAT YOU'LL NEED: RPG Maker (I use VX Ace, but I'm sure it works in any of them, given you have access to something like the below script.) HimeWorks' Map Screenshot script (or similar) First, make your train or tram. The blank background behind it is extremely important. Next, you need to make the scenery you want to have the appearance of moving - I.E: another map. A really, really long map. Once you make it, use the script to take a mapshot. Copy your mapshot into this folder in the Graphics folder of your project...: ...And then go back to your tram/train map and put your mapshot as a Parallax Background in your Map Properties. For Black Mesa Inbound, I don't need it to move very fast, so I have it on these settings: Then time it, calculate the time in frames and have the map change to the "dropoff location" (Parallel Process event). In the case of my Half-Life remake, that would be a still map where a guard walks over and lets you out, then leads you to the next chapter. What if you have to use multiple tilesets to get the effect you want? (I.E - simulating going through numerous locations) I had that same question for myself and it was an easy enough answer - make multiple maps, take multiple mapshots and splice them all together into one image. I'm having to do this for Black Mesa Inbound. What if I want background characters to move on the background instead of standing in one place? I don't have an answer for this one. I considered having the characters all be set to "Below" and "Through" and sort of shimmy in place before being set to Transparent, but that didn't quite work. In the end, having them standing there looks populated enough for my taste. If anybody has an answer to this, please comment it down below! Anyway, I hope you find this tutorial useful in your development endeavours! -
The thing I'm vibing to when I get a chance to relax:

Good news! I finally have everything I need on my laptop to get to work on digitalizing my art on it.

So does this mean a particular medisona image is on the way? Remember you swore to the art god to deliver, and you don't want to piss off the art god. The least they could do is curse you with artist's block. But if they get really annoyed... well you know the stereotype of the mad tortured artist exist for a reason. Imagine your muse filling your head 24/7 with only ideas that are either boring, disgusting, way way beyond your skill level, or things you think you can do but when you try you are never happy with them. :P

New quarantine challenge: Come up with the weirdest parody restaurant you can. For mine, I made Borger Kitt, a cat-themed version of Burger King.

Reminds me of a restaurant from a web-novel that was called Fugly Bob's.

eddsworld life after the end The Box Part 2

akshbsoidfbiebifbibsoiufebjslkjes omg That's hilarious. Considering I'm a huge polyshipper, I vote go for it. In reality, it was just a new gun to try out, but I left it ambiguous to get people's minds going in a funny way and I guess it worked perfectly. Rereading that final scene with the Bad Dragon thing buzzing around my head just made it more hilarious honestly. "When the five returned to the base, they made a group effort to carry the precious cargo to Tord’s quarters." I swear- XD -
Thinkin of getting a buzzcut so I stop moving my hair out of my face and therefore stop touching my face

Made Frau Doktor on a maker again, this time with pride flags, because absolutely no sona of mine will ever be cishet! Mostly because I'm not cishet.
We got ace, trans, genderfluid, (no pride flag, just a neat background), general LGBT+ and bi.
She/he/they/it
Fun fact: Her dress violates the Geneva Convention.
EDIT: The maker didn't have an option for her orange eye unfortunately.

A little something for everyone to enjoy.

Telly is full of Bernays' mind-warping crap.
(if you don't know who that is, DuckDuckGo has ya covered)Actually, there's plenty of that on YouTube as well, but AdBlock has me covered there.

I made a small mockup of Frau Doktor in a casual getup.

I have the pose and angle for the picture of the three of them all figured out. I guarantee you're gonna like it! @Kayzee @PhoenixSoul
Never thought I'd get a creativity boost from quarantine... Weird.

Upside? My design for Future Red Leader Tord makes sense. Downside? Global pandemic.

Ah, I dated a narcissist who emotionally manipulated me.
Lovely time to remember that one.

@PhoenixSoul, if you were really a narcissist I would think that you would have stopped being my friend by now given some of the critical things I have said to you. As I understand it (which may be wrong), narcissism is basically when people elevate themselves over everyone else and try and put themselves in a bubble so they don't have to accept their own flaws. There are probobly different levels to that, but true narcissists I think just cannot abide anything that challenges them. Narcissists throw fits and lash out the more you challenge that bubble, they become more antagonistic the more you push them on anything.
Now a lot of non-Narcissists might react that way too, especially if they have been hurt by something before I think. I am not saying my behavior is justified or anything. But regardless, it seems pretty clear to me that you don't do that. When i push you a bit I don't get yelled at and called names. You will argue with me sure, but in the end you usually see my point even if you don't agree. I doubt a true narcissist would ever let me get as close as I have. I mean, I do tend to be careful about choosing my words and I am probobly one of the few people willing to engage with you on some topics on a level that doesn't automatically dismiss some things that are important to you, but some other people *cough*thatonenpc*cough* have for sure not been as accepting. Not saying they were narcissistic though, I really don't like to assume that about anyone and I do kinda bate people sometimes.
Anyway I suspect that it's actually really easy for people to fall into a kind of narcissistic pattern of thinking without really meaning to. I know I can get close sometimes! In the end though I always try to remember that I am mostly just playing a big game with the world, and games are meant to be fun, even when losing! I kind of want to blame the Curse of Greyface for all of this honestly. Narcissists seem like the ultimate sore losers who just can't enjoy the game unless they are winning.
