/ig/ - RPGMaker / Gamedev

Have you seen Kanashimi no Belladonna? I loved the hippy-ish trip and the whole way they handed sexuality. Bonus for Klimt's influence.

You should try just throwing together what ideas you already have into RPG maker and go from there.
I think the end of the End of Evangelion has some good imagery that you could use.

And yeah. I agree that less graphic violence and more subtle, nerve hitting horror is better.

>>587
No. I haven't watched it. But I'll try it once I am done with Shiki.

>>588
I dunno. You need some solid world ideas for these games to make walking actually enjoyable. With the few map ideas I have right now, it might be better to just make the game puzzley like Lisa or even a straight up jrpg like Middens. Moreover I believe interactions between effects and worlds also needs to be planned with a bit of care so there is variety in the effects you use and you don't just end up using the same 3-4 effects to solve any obstacle.

>>589
What I mean is that these fan games can take years to complete and are riddled by developer laziness.
If you have any ideas right now I would start on creating the sprites and creating a base in RPG maker.

>hehehe lewd im 12 xDDD

Euch

>>556
At least 窓付き is a real word and not a meme translated with google.

>>557
>Akaitsuki means "Red" by the way assholes!
あのさ、赤いと言う言葉一色の名じゃありませんよ。ただ形容詞なのです。
You can lecture me on japanese once you learn the difference between adjectives and nouns and how nominalizing works. You don't even know what you named your own fucking character.

Also, it's funny that you're calling us assholes when you are acting like a cunt yourself. You came to the wrong board demanding to be explained extremely basic shit already answered many times and got butthurt when told to fuck off. You have no right to complain. Use fucking google and lurk more for fucks sake.

>>563
Maybe they really meant 暁.
Or possibly 赤付き、But ended up forgetting to remove the い. Theoretically speaking he may be aware of using 付く's nominative form and could be using it with the noun 赤.

>>564
>Maybe they really meant 暁.
>Akaitsuki means "Red" by the way assholes!
Also, the nanori for 暁 is Aka or Akira.

I don't think OP knows Japanese at all. Not only he made the error with roumaji in his files but he also didn't notice when I pointed it out in my post, so I don't believe at all he knows what the nominative form is, much less considering spanish lacks such kind of language tools and that they're so disguised in English not many people notice their existence.
So no, cute, but bullshit.

>>565
Oh surprise, spanish actually has nominalization. The more you know.

>>565
B-but sounds cute

>>543
Oh I meant what you want to do in terms on making the game (more specific questions regarding the engine or what ever) rather then what's going to be in the game. That's something that is entirely up to you.

P.S.
Check out the /fg/ board. They sometimes have decent tut threads.
https://uboachan.net/fg/index.html

>>544
Ah, sei. I may have been hallucinating that then o.o

>>545

Oh, um Im not sure on that either honestly. I'll try to figure out asap because I'd love to start on it. I have someone who'll help me out with programming at least wich i appreciate.

I'll take a look on the older threads, but I'm not sure they'll provide anything that I'll need.

The hardest part for me, and alot of other people judging by the amount of games that get completed, is to actually keep up the steam until the end. Making games takes alot more time than people think, and it's definitely not all fun. In fact, the majority of it is soulcrushingly boring.

Passion is not enough when it comes to gamemaking. You also need the patience of a god.
Don't want to spend more than 50+ hours making a game that looks mediocre? Don't do it.
Don't want to spend weeks doing the same thing over and over? Don't do it.
Don't want to bash your head into the wall repeadetly because you can't figure out why something isn't working? Don't do it.

My examples not bad enough? Trust me when I say that it's alot worse than my examples made it sound.
It's a great feeling when you're finally done, but most people don't get to that point. So if you're the type that gives up on something easily and moves on to something else, don't do it.
And definitely do not do it if the reason you're doing it is because you're looking for praise from others, because making a game is probably the worst way to do it in existence. You would literally spend hundreds of hours to get a couple of people saying "it's pretty good, I guess". If you're lucky. Most peoples first games are absolute dogshit.

idunno what its like for peeps that dont know a lot about programming, but make sure that if you run into an issue trying to get something to work right, stop before steam starts to blow out of your ears and go to google. you might not be able to solve your specific problem, but you can learn about how all of the options really want to work, and that has solved a ton of my problems. for example: the "proceed with movement" thing is really important and will magically solve 90% of all possible bugs

rpg maker works on this weird "drag-and-drop" thing, so its really just all about making sure everything is logical. this is really common for these game making engines, but you run into a lot of situations where things SHOULD work, but they just dont. these situations are probably whats caused me to burn out so often, cuz its just frustrating and you have very little control over it, in contrast to the process of making visuals and music. be vigilant, do research, and ask for help when you need it

>>549

I am aware of that making a game is a long and time consuming progress and I am willing to sacrifice most of my time on it in order to make my game as good as possible for my current skill level. And honestly, the progress is slow but there at least. and i know this screenshot looks like dipshit but im ok with lol

>>550

I actually don't mind for asking for help. I actually registred for the rpg maker forums so I can actually progress with my ideas. Currently i am still experimenting around with 2k3 but it's at least worth it

>>503

With this, I am heavily conflicted.

I am not in it for the money, at all. But on the other side, I did work hard and love it or not, I still have to make a living. I do have a job but still.

But then I look at free games like Yume Nikki, .Flow, Witches House, Ao Oni and ib…those had their hearts poured into it and were free, and I am by no means any better than them, so what kind of asshole am I, anyway?

The kickstarter would be to help me afford the artwork which I am already paying for from my own pocket, I am not rich but I am devoted and the kickstarter could help bring some more original artworks and maybe even soundtrack.

I'm just brainstorming in this text box, sorry.

Regardless, when I look at you guys and the RPG Maker community I feel it'd be wrong to not make the game free…I just don't know anymore.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my somewhat non-serious list of game-must-haves to whore up those downloads! it needs to have a combination of the following:

Memorable characters, tumblr-friendly is a big +. Loli main character also a big +.
The characters can either A: Be really edgy and grimdark, or B: So fucking sugar sweet it hurts to lick them. Nothing inbetween is acceptable. NOTHING.

Some mechanic that sets it apart from other games, for example the no-combat shit in Undertale.

Unique or just really good visuals, doesn't have to be fantastic-looking, but I'll be damned if it doesn't help, how many RPG Maker RTP games got zillions of fans? Yeah didn't think so. Anime style is a big +. I'll say it again: Loli main character. Little boy that looks like a girl also acceptable.

Speaking of tumblr, it also needs to have at least one important character that is a boy that looks like a girl or a girl that looks like a boy, not including the main character. For the fanart.

Comic relief character that is some kind of nerd. "Haha, he referenced something I know! This game really gets me."

Bullying. Preferably of the main character. The bullies will either die a bloody death or be your friends at the end of the game depending on the type of game it is.

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I love you owl, please, please, never change.

>not going for a mixture of edgy + diabetes bait instead
Create the ultimate RPGMaker character, just do it.

no

I fucking give up.

The best you can do is to post in sharing sites and make people interested in your game, showing the best qualities of it through videos, images, and generally being active on the development and SHOWING THAT SHIT to people (Because, you know, if they believe your project is abandoned they won't bother in checking it). Now, the problem is that the western indie world is terribly ruthless, specially for those who use RPGmaker. Unless your game fits the trend of the month, it will hardly be noticed, regardless of the quality and category. I've seen this many times, even with people with mad skills like the dev of Gnosis.

Now, actual advice from what I've seen: if you manage to catch some attention, you have to be quick with that an realize what did actually make those people follow your progress and exploit it to its fullest. Do you draw nice pictures? People liked them? POST MORE. People like your music? POST MORE. People like your mapping? Make some nice maps and show them. You have to make the player feel like they want to play your game. It's the most basic rule of marketing. This activity akin to fanservice is what ultimately catches attention and makes people get interested in your game.
And here's where the shitty part gets in: even if you actually do this things, the final factor interfering in the equation and deciding if you're going to be successful is nothing more than luck. If you aren't working on a game that is some clichéd trend likely to drag tons of attention just for it, that's it.

If you do this, maybe you won't be able to get big, but at the very least you will manage to catch some fans/people honestly interested in your work, which in my opinion is better.

I planned to come back to uboachan and post the link to my demo.

Today is the day, anons! I had to take a 3 year break from this fucking game.

This is my story of being NEET since 2007:

Put me out of my misery; I can't look at this thing a moment longer.

>>163
>what's next, Chesir?
Actually, I posted a pic of something I made 2 years ago, and I was thinking about starting to work on it again and make a thread boost the activity.
Now you just have to wait until the furry makes a post too. As for me, I hope the annoying brony joins the party as well.

TRADITION SHALL PREVAIL

>>199
Forever.

>>199
Good job.

BOOM shakalaka

Since you said "like YN" I'm assuming you're using RPG Maker 2003, but depends on what kind of effect you want, I'd like you to be more specific, I can't tell if you're asking for something easy or complicated…
Common events are your friends, there are tutorials everywhere, this thread has a few examples on different kinds:
>>>/fg/165

Since this was already discussed a hundred times here, I wondered for a second if there was documentation or tutorials explaining how to do this and similar stuff, it was a short second.

I had the courage to google it, and Bleetsy made a very friendly resume on how to make a cosmetic effect:
