+ Takeo212 1,079 Posted September 12, 2016 By chance, have you been mostly drawing assests for the game rather than eventing and such? I see alot of art progress but nothing actually gameplay wise so maybe your lack of motivation is from just drawing for it? (I had this at one point and decided it best to commission people instead. Drawing everything in a visually lovely game can be tiring). I hope IiaW helps you though Tsar If you need help with scripting since Spectre is inactive, you could always try asking around for help with stuff to help get you back into your mojo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted September 12, 2016 Holy hell on a Popsicle this game looks absurdly beautiful THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUU <3 It's my greatest pride~ you play violin with red hair? the whole reason I took up the violin was because I saw a beautiful red head playing one... I used to be really good, third chair of first violin section for a while, and could reasonably play a few concertos and what not. but now, I haven't practiced in over a year... Loool, it definitely wasn't (I haven't played that long I think). I love my orchestras haha, leading the section is so much fun! I practice only for the joy I get out of it, though competitions and auditions are certainly nice too ^u^ By chance, have you been mostly drawing assests for the game rather than eventing and such?

I hope IiaW helps you though Tsar If you need help with scripting since Spectre is inactive, you could always try asking around for help with stuff to help get you back into your mojo .....Aw man. You found me out. XD Yeah, pretty much the only work I've been doing is the art. (And the small eventing that comes with setting up maps and dialogue stuff.) The problem that I ran into is that I don't know where to start with my eventing, except at the very beginning--and I haven't finished the required art for the beginning (maps/assets/etc) so I feel like I can't work on the beginning; ergo, I can't work on anything else either. And then I think maybe I'll ATTEMPT to work on the battle system, but I don't have battlers for that either, nor do I know much about balancing a game. thank goodness spec created the entire skills database before leaving though Funny enough, I'm not feeling motivated to create events either, unless it's just basic dialogue and such. I don't know why it's become so hard to move the game forward TT_TT I guess I'm not really needing custom scripts either that I can't already find, it's setting them up and USING them that's been my issue. Spec imported all these fancy scripts in for the battles and I have no idea what they're supposed to do, but I'm really scared to mess with them in case it screws something up....lol. He really knew what he was doing, I just wish I could've like...osmosed the info before he disappeared XD Though you're right, it wouldn't help to ask for some things once in a while stupid perfectionist self always being stubborn Yeahhhh that's why I'm so determined to go through this IIAW even though I think my game will end up being trash. I need to realise that sometimes you just gotta create things without them being perfect XD It just also sucks because I got way busier this week, which is stupid. (Last week I had almost nothing compared to amount of junk I have to accomplish in the next four days, good god.) But I'm going to do it anyway-- for my sake and for the game-- XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted September 21, 2016 IIAW is over And WOW! I really forgot how awesome it feels to actually code things rather than just create pretty pictures. Also realising that I can work on things out of order and still piece it together in the end has really changed my mindset. I'm ready to create things XD I have one-and-a-half commissions to finish and then Sugar Sweet will be back up on the list of things to-do~ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted December 15, 2016 Would love to throw an update your guys' way I can't believe it's been months already....I feel ashamed after saying that I would keep working on it with renewed vigor...XD However, the premise for two basic quests have been set up, as well as some awesome intro text with Lady Finngehrs, the kinda-duchess of the Dolce Sector. I'm trying to move away from working only on the art assets and get some real eventing up in here! (Also, idk why but for some reason I cannot for the life of me find this topic under Games in Progress....I had to use the link in my sig. XD I'm going blind guys.) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsarmina 2,612 Posted February 8, 2017 Hey Saeryen ^^ You're not late at all, I'm just not really in a place to update regularly....sucks for me TT_TT Not even over winter break, I didn't get a single thing done. ;; But thank you for the encouragement >.< Hopefully if I can find someone willing to work with me a bit I can get some actual content out and not just these willy-nilly pseudo-updates.

Tsarmina 2,612 Posted February 10, 2017 I tend to be super picky, so it would depend on what you would like to work on (and then I would like to see how you work on such things/end results/examples ) Right now I'm keeping an eye out for 2D animators and battle system riggers, if you're interested we can keep talking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ Asharonapaul 276 Posted February 10, 2017 Im no good at those. I can make DBs and search them for things. about it for ruby. and animations I can do, but im not actually good at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsarmina 2,612 Posted March 7, 2017 Hi guys ( .. )/ I'm afraid SS is going on official hiatus for a bit. (。•Ì︿•̀。) (not that it wasn't really on unofficial hiatus for like the past half year...) Frankly I've been unmotivated and I'm pretty stressed and generally unhappy as this year is coming to a head, as well as dealing with some here and there health concerns, but no worries, I'm not dying yet Not sure when hiatus is ending -- whenever I'm able to grab this lovely project up again. I've even had some ideas in the past couple days that I might try to implement when I get back love you no less! (in the meantime, come find me working on artsies. see you at deviantart.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonequeso 1,921 Posted March 7, 2017 Well that sucks. You've had a lot on your plate for a while. Sometimes you need some time to breathe. I hope your health issues aren't anything super serious. What would we do without our favorite red headed Moderator? This game is a fun little concept. Food = Good RPG = Great Food + RPG = EPIC I hope you feel better soon in both your physical and mental health. Being ill and stressed out doesn't sound like a fun combo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd probably be living the high life without me, tbh. XDDD I'm such a boring derp. I definitely came up w/ the idea because I love food so much lol ^^ I really do want to keep working on this too! I just dunno how anymore ;_; Thank you very much *sparkles* *happiness* I will be working towards the future always x_x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted June 8, 2017 Bad news :c (As if we needed bad news on a game on hiatus, but what happens happens I guess) So I'm moving soon, and our house is currently up for showing. However, that means we took everything off the tables/countertops and kind of put them in boxes and put those boxes who knows where, and in the process my tablet pen somehow got taken away....and now I have no idea where it is. ;_; I've spent forever searching for it, but I can't find it. I've been working on puzzles, and as you know I tend to be very graphics heavy on everything, puzzles included, and it's put me into a real stressor. :< another block to the progress, I guess. (on a random happier note I'M TRAVELING TO JAPAN in a few weeks so YAY) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saeryen 299 Posted June 10, 2017 Oh gosh, that's terrible. I'm looking forward to your game, so I hope you can work on it again soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonequeso 1,921 Posted June 12, 2017 Weelllll yay for Japan! At least you only lost the pen and not the entire tablet. Are you moving to Japan or is that just vacation? Also, can I come with? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted August 11, 2017 Wow, how did I not reply to this? XD This was like two months ago, I'm such a bum. @lonequeso I wasn't able to find the pen XD I gave up, ordered a new one yesterday. But it won't be here until after I start school v_v it was just for vacation but it ws fantastic!!! Definitely the best trip I've ever been on, and I love to travel sorry for not taking you with me tho, obviously I didn't see this until after I came back XD ^^" I think most of us here on rmc would love Japan because we're very invested in their culture hehe, I definitely loved it in its entirety~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
