Hmm...

So many ways to implement that theme...

No ideas to back up implementation.

Yep, another week spent deciding on what to do xD

Yay! I'm not alone! XD

Indie In A Week? More like Game Idea In A Week.

I mean, if you have trouble thinking on what to do, I would probably do the same thing here as I would do with a writing assignment: find some music that vaguely connects to the prompt or theme (at least to you), listen to the music, and just daydream on it.

Ok I got the perfect music for this theme

Oh, that's one of my favorite tracks of all time! Have you heard the cover the guy played on a refrigerator? The melody is so smooth...

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

But but but. The theme is "silence". Music wont help *gasp, I said it*

 

Haha, conveiently, I'm not actually off work until the weekend. So technically, I'll have to start planning from now until Friday, and then friday night till sunday night just power through.

I'm also off Tuesday, so hopefully I can get those last minute touch ups done

Nothing worse than a week of work and then, BAM, you forgot to fix an image and the game doesn't load up. instant DQ

[Yuugami 252]

In all seriousness, maybe try something like this tune:

 

 

Video game tunes are great for this sort of thing - a lot of them have fairly relaxing tracks, unlike what I usually like listening to, lol.

Hey, that's the music, that is played in background in these forums!

I was looking for that title for so long!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

By the way~

I see some members took the timer ~ well ~ but it's not updating as I'm simply replacing the image. It wasn't designed for public use. =P

However, if you want me to update the ones you have ~ then I can do this ~ it will require more work and prevent me from making gifs, but it is possible.

 

The gauge will be decreasing by one 'day' each day around ~6PM (GMT) (+ possibly some delay).

[Nekotori 739]

Silence eehh meow?

 

I should make a game where you have a silent protagonist.. riiiiighhttt? xD

[Jeanne d'Ys 166]

The theme's quite cool XD

Now, time to work on the thing!

I could update it myself by re-copying the image from your signature as soon as I spot a change. I don't know about Jackus, though.

 

I could also just edit it myself if I knew the bar background color. But you may be making a gif. (I actually tried to make a gif of the red arrow in the timer icon moving around. It sucked. )

In that case let's just all agree to update when you do as soon as possible. XD

I've spent my whole free time of the contest into playing other RM games, so... That's my progress so far.

Here are some busts for protagonists, original designs (YAY!) by me! =3

 

Left to right; Crescent, Crescent (In armor) and Rikifive (In armor).

 

Riki got some fluffy, cloud-like soft hair. And I got some fashionable armor! =3

The game is kinda like MLP, but sadly there's no ponies ~ Because I can't design ponies. =/

 

There will be busts for NPCs as well, but without expressions ~ The protagonists and antagonists will have expressions. =3

[Tsarmina 2,612]

Wow, Crescent making so much progress already *o* I haven't even devised my storyline yet.....*sadness* :<

[+ Crescent 474]

Wow, Crescent making so much progress already *o* I haven't even devised my storyline yet.....*sadness* :<

I haven't even touched the database and mapping yet ~ But yup, I got the storyline (Silly one! XD) and designs for characters done. =3 But... I can't say I've made much progress. XD

Don't be sad! Here, have this thing, it'll motivate you! =3

 

 

 

Also, now I am thinking to redraw the busts ~ Because as I'll be making totally original grahpic assets exclusively for my project, I am going to follow a more simpler and silly style. ^^ And I am sticking with RMVX Ace instead of RM2K3 because I am still learning 2K3 and I don't have much time to figure out things in it. So yup. =3

[Tuckie 59]

Let's play a game of release something that might possibly maybe reveal the whole premise of my game to everyone! I was actually pretty sick yesterday but I managed to get a few things done then and today.

 

Here is a mock-up of a small office in the big city, along with this game's shiny new protagonist. I'll probably add a few more "clutter" items to the room later on as it feels a little bland at the moment. Here's to graphics! I am also going to try for a song later tonight, but I probably won't share that.

 

 

I hope everyone else is going strong with this! Though we are at the beginning this is no time to slack.

[Tsarmina 2,612]

*slacking*

 

Just kidding, I'm so swamped. Why am I here? XD I'm not even going to be here for the next three days *waltzes away before anyone can confront and shake some sense into her*

[Yuugami 252]

Give me those upvotes, Mak, my reddit life needs them.

[+ Crescent 474]

Give me those upvotes, Mak, my reddit life needs them.

Have this! =3

 

 

Hm, you still call me Mak. =P

I love your art style!  Your protagonist looks adorable.

My schedule's quite tight recently, with college and a certain project I'm giving my main focus on, but I'll try to at least upload something by the deadline... XD

 

For now, have some support music:

[+ Crescent 474]

Okay, that's it. TIME TO FINALLY PAUSE THE PROJECT AND START A NEW PROJECT FOR THIS CONTEST!

That's right, I am creating a new project for Iiaw instead of the Pony project ~ Because, I have bigger plans for Riki's gift pony project so I'll can't complete in less than a week.

 

So, gonna start a new project that will probably be only for Iiaw.

 

@Riki I hope you won't mind that, but I don't want to rush for the pony project and complete it in a week without including what awesome plans I have in my mind ~ But I promise you, I'll complete the gift project for you very soon as Iiaw is done! ^^ =)

I was thinking of making fully original custom pixel tiles, sprites and stuff exclusively for the project ~ Maybe 8-bit music too, so if I made the project in a rush it won't result in an awesome project, so yup. =3

Putting the pro in procrastinating... (well, that's not quite true, unless I can get someone to pay me for putting things off)

I've spent the entire day not studying AND not developing a game. Trying though... I WILL write at least one class tonight.

I think the problem I have is I can't quite figure out the logic of it all. I could describe the game in simple english, but in some

ways, making this in RPG Maker VX rather than Visual Studio might make it harder. Sure, I get a complete game engine

all ready to go. But it messes with how I think about what a program is. I'm not even sure how I would implement a MVVM

pattern in RPG Maker.

I just thought of something I need to test. Setting and reading variables from multiple entities(events) at once. I've never

considered that RPG Maker might get race conditions. Does anyone know if VX is multi-threaded? From what I can

understand looking through the Script Editor, it doesn't look like it.
