I tried to delve into making RPGMaker meme games but i literally can't create a tileset. Whenever i fill a tile and save it with Paint.NET/MSPaint it messes up the colors or some shiz and the tiles appear transparent in-game. GIMP works but i'm not comfortable with it and it takes ages to boot up.
What do?

If you can't do that you'll also run into like a million problems later and nobody will want to help you solve all of them. Learn the program first and then make the game. Watch a tutorial.

In paint.net when you're exporting your png set it to 8-bit

Stop using RPG Maker 2000 or some shit, upgrade to MV or VX Ace.

If you're making a game in RPG Maker 2000 or 2003, get Aseprite and make 256-colour images in it. (It has a free beta on the official site.)

Tried to set up Yume nikki on android to play on a 12 hour flight, but came to the sudden realization that I have no idea what I'm doing. I use the english port for yn (found on the yn wikia), and I'm not sure if that comes with an rtp. Would I need one? (I downloaded the Japanese rtp beforehand though) Also does anyone know a step-by-step guide on setting up the game?

EasyRPG claims to be a free, open source alternative that's even compatible with RPG Maker 2000 & 2003. Havn't used it, so don't know how well it succeeds as such.

Greetings Uboachan, I need some help regarding the bed when my characters falls asleep.
>Pic related

So far I managed to find away to event the character entering the dreamworld but I don't have a clue how to change the tiles however.

What should I do guys?

 No.753

There's a "switch tileset" option there in the event scripter, just use that or teleport to a map with a different chipset.

Well, I said back in >>>/fg/91 when I announced the end of my Tsunagari game engine that if my new game engine ever surpassed it, I would make a new thread. I think that has actually happened a while ago. The new thread fits better in this board, which didn't exist when the other thread was made.

Progress is sporadic, but we're further than Tsunagari ever got, in far less time overall, and with clean and maintainable code. I present Driftwood 2D, a game development suite written in Python 3.

The Driftwood 2D Game Development Suite is a game engine and related set of tools designed for the purpose of allowing a novice to develop a fully featured tile-based 2D game. Driftwood 2D is currently undergoing heavy alpha-stage development and should not be considered stable. API changes will occur frequently at this stage. However, it is currently suitable for making very simple exploration-style games.

Driftwood 2D is a spiritual successor to Tsunagari, an engine in C++ with similar goals, which ran into irreconcilable design flaws and spaghettified to death. Tsunagari was abandoned soon after the creation of this engine.

The engine loads a world package made of images, sounds, maps, descriptive files, and scripts, and then passes itself to the scripts as an interface to its internal API. From there, the scripts in the world package interact with and control the engine to perform its functions, resulting in a playable game. All public functions in the engine are accessible through the scripts. Maps are designed in Tiled and saved in JSON format, and the engine config file and entity descriptor files are also written in JSON.

Current features include:
* Infinite graphical and walkable layers
* Resource caching
* Virtual filesystem for game data and patches, supporting zip files
* Tile and sprite animations

Just released Alpha-0.0.9.

This release adds bugfixes and the following features and changes:

* Switch to Universal Binary JSON for the database format.
* Beginnings of support for occlusion. Loading and rendering times are heavily reduced.
* STDLib support for loading and inserting widgets from descriptor files called Widget Trees, which currently support Jinja2 templating with variables, includes, and multiple layers of container widgets.
* Code restructuring.

In addition to the usual bugfixes, this release's major features are lazy map loading and more complete graphical occlusion which speed things up significantly, especially for large areas, as well as a more complete widget tree description language which supports things like newlines and relative positioning. Entity descriptors now also support Jinja2.

Alpha-0.0.11 is released.

Apart from a few smaller feature additions, this release is mostly about restructuring the project.

Two new API libraries were created – Folkdance and Stageshow. Folkdance is a reference library which will mostly handle advanced entity-entity, entity-player, and entity/player-world interactions. Currently it contains an InventoryManager and a PlayerManager. Stageshow is a special effects and choreography library.

Stdlib was dissolved, some of its functions moved into the core engine and others into the aforementioned new libraries. In addition, the testing worlds, libraries, and documentation were split into submodules. Note that this means extra steps are necessary to collect everything together to build from source, so a Linux binary release is included. This release gives the Makefile the ability to generate releases.

There is now a __common__ directory inside the data directory. Libraries placed in this folder are automatically added to the data path at startup. Stdlib was initially moved from the source directory to here, but then it was replaced by Folkdance and Stageshow.

JSON schemas were consolidated into strings in a Python file to defeat a complication when building on Windows.

The underscore character is now a shortcut for accessing temporary variables in the engine. Instead of Driftwood.vars["variable"], you can now reference _["variable"].

It is now possible to append or prepend path segments to the config file's path from the command line, instead of only being able to replace it.

Hey Uboachan. Lately I've started working on a Yume Nikki mobile port, I hope this will embrace both iOS and Android versions, with probably scaling 320x240 graphics to higher resolutions.
I know that somebody probably ran this game with some RPGMaker emulators or something on Android, but i'm talking about the proper port idea with, i hope so, nice sprites scaling for even big HD iPhone/ipad screens and a virtual d-pad plugin.
But, what is Yume Nikki legal status, like, in the future, can i hope to release it (for free) on the app stores and this app not be taken down? Is it even possible to contact Kikiyama, for it is his intellectual property? What should i write him? Did anybody, like guys from http://yumenikki.net contact him?

No problem, the case is that first I want to practice with making a full mobile game with Phaser engine, and it is second that anybody would want to play that. I chose to try to port YN because I like the game, it's a pleasure working with it. Also the game world is pretty desolate and most levels are simple to build. Almost no AI. At the moment I have those locations almost complete:
+Room
+Balcony
+Nexus
+Forest world
+Puddle world
+Mural world
+Checkered-tile path
+Shield-folk world (half-complete)

Hi. I'm making a YN fangame titled "ADHD: A Yume Nikki Fangame".
I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out how the "Wake up" mechanic works.
I'll be looking for the solution right after I have posted this.

 No.722

Here's the old thread for RPGmaker/Yume Nikki fangame help → >>>/fg/165

There you'll find many suggestions on how to make the wake up mechanic, effects, and other fangame related stuff.

If you don't feel like reading it all, click "Control + F" at the same time on your keyboard and write a keyword related to your interest in the box that appears to perform a search on the whole thread for it. (Ex: write "wake" to find posts talking about the wake up mechanic, it's that simple.)

Why am I posting this instead of explaining how to do it? Because that thread has years of useful information for anyone making a fangame in RPGmaker, and will be of better aid than my already rusted knowledge of RPGmaker. Hope it helps.

One of the things I see as pretentious is to overexplain a project in development, I understand marketing is a must in game development, but if you're going to spam your wiki with more and more info about your characters, game prequels/sequels, and post about things like "headcanons" crossing your characters with other games and such while your game shows little to no progress after a long time I'm going to think you're pretentious.

Before anyone things I'm talking about them(which can happen here) I'd like to say this is common and not about anyone in particular.

I get what you guys try to say about forced and justified association to other games, but as an example, if I draw a dozen of memes of a character from another game with mine to absorb audience I'm simply going to look bad, especially if my game shows no progress.

Sane advertising is fine, you go somewhere, you show your project, you get out, clean and simple.

I was just thinking about that. At least yn fan game devs don't ask for money or don't pay their volunteers who do most of the work or waste volunteer's time by asking them to make stuff that wont even be compatible with the game later or constantly stealing copyrighted shit and never apologizing for it.

I've been trying to use WINE to play the older fangames after MS went to hell, but all the old games are stuck in SHIFT-JIS locale.
I've got everything running weirdly using ja_JP.UTF8 locale.
I've got reverse mojibake because unicode doesn't shift or my fonts are broken.
If it's the font, then how does an RPG Maker game store/request a font?

What he said wasn't really worthless advice. If you are using WINE, you might as well just buy a cheap used computer with Windows or get a VM to play the games with no real issues.

Are you really going to waste time that could be spent playing these fangames because "MS went to hell"? No offense, but that's really stupid.

The only thing I can think of right now is "update Wine", unfortunately. I don't have this issue when running a English-translated Yume Nikki in Japanese locale (mojibake filenames are a mess, so I ran the installer in Japanese locale), but if using certain distributions, your Wine is probably extremely out of date, so that's the best guess I can give.
(If your Wine version is still 1.something, then it is definitely out of date.)
