Scope creep is even more dangerous with AI. The "I can't be fucked coding that" pushback is gone. Instead of writing the next scene, I could tell the robot to add just one new feature...

I like it
>>4095176>Do you think U2U will have worthwhile games, or will it be another Unity level flop with people staying on VX/MV?It won't be a Unite Level flop. And I don't think Unite is a flop, considering it wasn't for general RPG Maker users. And was for people who were moving to Unity engine from RPG Maker.U2U on the other hand... is there any RPG Maker dev who doesn't want to at-least try it out & play with it? It's just RPG Maker MV/MZ except with a 2.5D mapping system. What's there as a reason for especially new users, coming into RPG Maker, to not go with U2U over MV/MZ? (Except for system requirements for U2U being higher)It'll start having worthwhile games... in a couple of years.
>>4095147I mean it's another vehicle for procrastination. I need to do X which is boring and unfinished, but why not just add new thing Y instead and now the scope is bigger and there's technically no progress despite "work" being done on the project

>>4098567Is this AI (vibe)coded?Considering you make an entire game engine in a few months, I don't think it's not at least.How laggy is it?I don't feel like reading through the 62806450 lines of code, so does it contain instructions to steal anything from my pc should I run it?
>>4096934>video"I'm a narcissist that needs positive feedback constantly, so when people don't do that I get main character syndrome. Using my powers as the protagonist of the world I decided that you're all to blame for what I chose to do. That is now how reality works. And also, you cannot comment on anything I publish negatively. Also my life is over once my facial surgery goes wrong, because looks are everything."Why are trannies like this? (You can't convince me he isn't gay and posing as a tranny at this point)Just saying I don't hate transpeople nor gaypeople, just selfish entitled people, because often they are toxic.> A lot of people told me those people are just jealous of me. I totally get it.Self admitting to his huge narcisistic ego
>>4098970The guy gets harassed and maligned everywhere (in RPGM spaces) now, to the point he can't hang around in the general RPG Maker community anymore. And had to withdraw himself from it. It really gets tiring, when a major part of your work is online, and there are people constantly making things up about you and your work to damage you & mess with your head. That you then have to deal with and address. I took lightly of people complaining myself, until it happened to me too. So, practice some empathy before you're taught to with a harsh experience. >Why are trannies like this?He is not.>Self admitting to his huge narcisistic egoIt isn't jealousy, it is definitely envy. He's quite a capable & experienced game dev and a pixel artist, with decently successful releases on android & Steam (prior to generative AI. Even prior to me finding RPG Maker). Went around sharing his knowledge in the community too. Which makes it feel worse when people in the community turn against you, disrespect you, insult you. And deny the guy the good he's doing & has done.The onslaught of harassment & dismissals can make a person forget they've done or achieved anything. And feel useless. To the point of self-destruction & self-deletion.It is tiring, indeed.Don't add to the burden. Be the one to share some of it and put it off.
>>4099266I make fun of children for wanting to make a living out of YouTube all the time, so I also make fun of manchildren wanting to make a living out of making RPG Maker plugins(out of all the things in the world) too. I'm just trying to be consistent here.Some people take it too far though, like the guy you responded to.
>>4099276China has it's "honor" system.India has "izzat". The Philippines have "kapwa and hiya" Rpg Maker threads have "no devs"Stereotypes are bad jokes; you shouldn't laugh.
>>4098567It's extremely fast, but fucks up if you leave the window.
>>4099266>So, practice some empathy before you're taught to with a harsh experience.There are way too many chronic victims sufficating people with empathy to the point of exhaustion, and white knights thinking we have no empathy. Learn about empathy fatigue before complaining people have no empathy.You place something online; that's your responsibility.You get reactions, those aren't your responsibility. Just accept that people say whatever they want. If people are going to claim you eat the neightbors cats and that cats in any neighborhood are in danger so long they use your plugins, why react to such bullshit?It doesn't really matter how famous people are who claim such things, such things are strangely beliefed and the moment you try to defend yourself, "You're defending yourself, so it has to be true!"- in other words, its used against you. If you say nothing, less stress- most efficient. If you say "Yes!", they get bored; this also works, but hate may increase.It's his own fault. He was posing as he admits in his video. "choosing his words carefully', because he wanted to be "food" for the consumers, rather than just share what he made. He wanted to fit into a specific glove. This doesn't help.Tiredness doesn't just come from hate reactions. It comes from trying your best to avoid those by trying to fit in. This is something you'll only realize when your life hasn't been succesful. (bullying, etc.) Tiredness comes from interacting with people and trying to keep their smiles up, knowing they're self centered parasites. Even when you check all the boxes, they will not even apologize; they're right, they cannot back away because "MY REPUTATION!"- they're the same kinds of people. Belittling someone helps them feel bigger themselves.And you see that in the video as well, pointing fingers, calling every negative comment "haters", belittling them, thus he feels superior; not equal.

Kinda strange that the quick conditions window only has >= for its logic check. Wouldn't it have been better to have a small drop box like it has in the conditional branch options?
>>4106268Switch to 2k3 if you want nice things.
>>4106276You know what else is a nice thing? Having the text be in English.
>>4106268These are page conditions. The logic of something "less" would be on the following page. Ch 5, Ch 4, Ch 3, Ch 2, Ch 1. Like your favorite manga!
Was wrecking my brain for a while how to approach creating a viewable map & outline of the whole Arcade and each of its sections. And ended up going with this sort of mind-map / node-based approach. (>_<)>See Gif
>>4106284Not him nor do I know japanese, butfrom the looks of it is. Same, Larger, Smaller, Larger or equal, Smaller or Equal, .... and the last one is hard to guess.I mean you can guess if you recognize even two symbols.Second and Third entry have the second symbol with a pole from the ground, which point up or down>>4106314The issue is that you cannot restrict an event page to a very specific value, and so you'd need to overwrite it with a page that has an even higher value; creating unnessecary amounts of pages.A second thing is that you only get one variable lock for the page, which is also a bummer.Anyway when you have a variable that is decreasing, maybe even below zero, it's going to be tricky with page conditions, because the higher page number gets checked before the lower ones, which means you need to work your event in reverse order. It's an engine limitation that they kept in for generations.That reminds me, VX Ace actually made enough room for a tileset page E and even an F. Also enough room for two A5s as full tileset pages in the systems... which makes me think t here was an administrative decision to limit the engine to create less customization, so that they could sell an upgraded product later even for vx ace. kadokawa does this more often, just like many japanese companies.First you get kingdom hearts, then you get final mix, then you get 1.5 ... same game, just with added stuff.same with sonic adventure. sonic adventure dx, sonic adventure dx director's cut. meh-It's a scam. They can do better and refuse to do so to make money later. Give the customer the best product now and you'll have less income, and need to spend money to actually provide better things.

>>4106615thanks. brand new, watched some youtubes on xp and vx ace to figure out which to use and then checked the archive for rpgmaker and found these threads

>>4106444Vibecoding is when you ask AI to generate codeor ask AI to make something using AI, which in the end will spit out the whole code or program. Either way, the AI assembles the code based on your instructions."Please generate a plugin that I can use in RPG Maker MV that does the following: "kind of like that.The thing about vibe coding is that people are lazy, and go for the "good enough" end result since they don't want to endlessly talk with the AI to get something fixed, because while fixing it messes up other things. It's the same with generated artwork or text.So what you get is a bloated and laggy plugin that after testing and asking the AI to correct it enough 'works'.
>>4106444Unoptimized due to the stutters, differences in connections between images, latency spikes in certain directions (shown in the gif), the text boxes appearing based on screen coords rather than below the image and smoothly dragging along, etc.It uses existing stuff and tries to place it as in in the same scene, rather than modify its behavior to fit with this scene; and do you need to import everything from that in the scene? The stutters happen because it has no clue what to do if you select the next image before finishing the whole transition to the current selected one, so it just teleports things.
>>4107193Vibecoding was before we had agentic ai. It' wasn't "generating" code, it was translating your plain English(or whatever language you type in) into some other program language. It was only bloated in the sense that it would recreate functions that already existed the RM core scripts or PIXI library, or whatever platform you were working with.
>>4107193>Vibecoding is when you ask AI to generate codeEwww... who gave it such a repulsive name? I'd rather just call it AI-generated code, or generative coding. Which yes, this Node / Mind-map system is.
>>4107278Language model tools don't translate. They assemble output based or predicted on previous output. Your prompt is acting as the seed for this. There is no translation happening.Translating is helping person A understand the exact meaning of words in language B. The problem is that AI doesn't understand English. It doesn't directly know the meaning of words. It outputs what you want to hear based on what it was trained to output, and so it doesn't translate at all.It's like saying AI calculates: it doesn't. It predicts an answer. You can manipulate what it will put out proving that it doesn't translate, because your tweaks are not part of the translation. It's part of the output you want; and that is the goal.. to give you an output you're satisfied with.AI translators are close, but not great 'translators'. They miss context of the modern take of words, and also everything has an English foundation with their output, even in places where it makes no sense. It will output German as if it is English for example; not something a German would say in German.In a similar vane with Ruby, on which RPG Maker VX runs for example, it will grab Gems that RPG Maker cannot access, because of assemptions made by the general English speaking community data it was trained on; who will use those gems.Agentic AI takes over your system, and vibecodes itself. You're still guiding it, less directly though, rather than programming. Google calls it Agentic Vibe Coding. https://cloud.google.com/discover/what-is-vibe-coding>bloatBloat doesn't matter, what matters is what is happening to the RAM and CPU. It doing too much in the same frame for example. Optimizing means making it's impact on the system while it is srunning the smallest, which sometimes requires more code thus a larger file. It also means making sure its bug free and smooth.
The Vibe Scepter would make an interesting mechanic for an RPG, don't you think?
newfag again, is there a recommended modern day tilesheet for vx ace?
Where do I get more balloons?I'd like one to represent laughing/rowdiness
>>4107428you could either steal one from mv/mz, or use scaled up refmap sheets
>>4107428Let's talk about that. They exist. But nobody uses them, so it's hard to recommend them. Assumption number one: You're making an RPG; because [You Are Here] on the /vrpg/ interest board. Of course people use RM to make Action games. But that's not congruent with this board's topic. Pretending you did a basic search for "Modern" RM resources, you'll have found a lot of guns and a bunch of tilesets for things like garage doors, vending machines, maybe warehouses. But to an RPG maker, these are kind of worthless. What are we supposed to do with a boring ass hallway? stairs? A parking lot? Resource collectors be like, "I have so many traffic cones". What is left unsaid is that whoever made these "modern" resources were probably picturing Action film plots like Die Hard. A bomb threat. A terrorist hostage situation. When an Action Game developer sees a hallway, they see a race against the clock. A chase sequence. A stealth mission, navigating a zombie hoard or avoiding a psycho school shooter. The expectation is to run through the stage and survive. In contrast to an RPG, the expectation is to look around and explore in order to complete a quest. There is a close overlap with Adventure games, where you navigate environments. Like, cutting down a tree in order to cross a river or gap is an Adventure "feat". But RPGs have a broader social milieu, so it's not usually the player's job to build a bridge so much as it is to go the long way around, slay the troll on the other side, and unlock a new route. While there are a lot of modern to medieval equivalents, there are major structural differences. A castle vault, a dungeon, and a well/water reservoir can all exist in the same estate. A bank, a prison, a water tower are unlikely to overlap in a modern city, or offer the same story economy. So the question is: What do you need?
>>4102304same game by the game now in an arcade
>>4107512thank you>>4107623wow thank you for the detailed response. I mentioned before I'd just like to make a short one about a day in the life of a friend of mine, so like an apartment building, city streets, office building, corner store/grocery store, warehouse, stuff like that

It doesn't fucking matter what game they want to make with it unless you're going to draw the tileset for them.>pretendingyou're accusing them and implying things. Also, concerning your opinion, they just wanted a tileset that you don't like apparently.>resource collectors be like: "I have so many fraffic cones"You mean: "I just download shit, and rarely share.", otherwise mentioning they're collectors is completely meaningless making the statement meaningless... what purpose does this serve in giving them a tileset?>What is left unsaid blah blahTiles aren't hallways nor giant rooms. They can be used to make these, sure.>The expectationThere is no expectation from a tileset, other than it containing artwork in this case which is based on modern day life. For example a modern bed; rather than a stall's haybed.>In contrast to an RPGDistracting from the subject. Comparing a game to a resource designed for a game is meaningless.>So the question is: What do you need?They stated it quite clearly over here: >>4107428>modern day tilesheet for vx ace-->>4108249You're too nice. They haven't contextually given you anything useful. I mean talking about the difference in usecases is fine, but the way they twisted the post subject isn't and isn't helpful.Kokoro Reflections made some good ones. Some tilesets are available for free (due to piracy or for other reasons). Also just search itch io or use google images.
>>4108603thank you, I'll check those out as well, I did do some searching I just thought there might be one that was like "the standard"

>>4109075I find your lack of faith disturbing
Very boxy escape signs. My first stumbles into pixel art
>>4108658There isn't. Crooked Man, Boogie Man and Sand Man (games made by Uri in Wolf RPG Editor) use POP! Horror City. (it's probably the most popular set to use, not sure)Aria's Story and Midnight Train use Celianna's tiles. (which are edits of the official set)like... yeah.VisuStella made a couple of modern tiles as well (for MZ/MV), but I haven't seen those used anywhere. (heck they're expensive and don't give much). There are better artists on itch.io.>>4108778Depends on the personality of the gay person who owns it.If they're into sadism, it may have chains on the wall or a bench with chains.If they're a masochist, it might have a pole so that they can tie themselves up. In both of these cases there is probably going to be leather.Dildos, lubrication fluid, posters of muscular man wearing strings and man bikinis essentially. (sexualizing the male shape, etc.) They may have a sock or pantyhose thing with a design specific for their penis, anything that stimulates basically.and of course a place for their victim; maybe its a kidnapped unwilling person; maybe they get an extra high from that stuff. So ropes, cuffs, ...maybe toys to sissy the guy (or some girl clothes), etc.>>4108778skidrow reloaded has rpg maker mz version 1.10 with a shit ton of dlc.the other versions of rpg maker can be found much more easily, just google.Personally I recommend 2003, XP or VX Ace. It's more fun to toy with the older version imo, in part due to the limitations, and in part because I don't like JavaScript and MV/MZ is waaaay too bloated imo.Also as anon mentioned, you can give Wolf RPG Editor a try, but it's not recommended for a beginner. You need to understand how Events in RPG Maker work at the very least before going there.
gay sex dungeon jam WHEN
>>4109277October/ Halloween month is a week away. There's usually a lot of jams going on. We've had a lot of jams this year already, including a "cowboy" one, but there was no basement at the Alamo.
just a quick question to make sure I'm on the right track, if I use stuff from here >>4108381 like this I have to rearrange it to a 512x512 or set some of it up like the autotiles ones?
>>4110420If you want to used them as tile graphics, yes. They were made for XP which allowed tilesets to be ridiculously tall. You're using VX Ace which placed new tileset limitations, broken up between A through E. Honestly most people would put doors on a character sheet to use as events. I guess it depends on what you want to combine. It's not hard to configure tiles in a grid. It'll take you more time manually setting the passage tiles.
>>4110485awesome thank you>It's not hard to configure tiles in a grid. It'll take you more time manually setting the passage tiles.found aseprite on github which so far has been pretty easy to figure out
>>4109327Don't cha wanna wait for U2U to come out? Then we could have a UWU jam with werewolves and pretend it's 2022 all over again.
>>4110511>UWU jam>enter with a game made in WOLFit's all coming together...
>>4110485>>4110420BCD and E tiles end up on the same layer,which means they overwrite eachother.Place floor tiles and wall tiles in A.Consider making some autotile wall / floor tiles.You can also use script commands to force the tiles to be on a lower or higher tile level, but it's tricky (and so far I know, no one made a tool that can do this).Also the top corner B tile has id 0, and is the default tile. It is the tile that is assigned to every tile and thus drawn on all tile layers when a map is made. You can use it as an eraser for the BCDE tiles, but not for A tiles.
I played Dragon Quest 1 recently. (NES version, in-browser)>OOOH, is that what RPG Maker is trying to do? Everyone wants to make Final Fantasy, not Dragon Quest.
>>4110855thanks, been trying to do the autotile thing with it but it's hard with the perspective they used because a lot of stuff is half-tile, but I think I've figured it out now
>>4111010>Everyone wants to make Final Fantasy, not Dragon Quest.Which is why indie RPGs are mostly so shit. Dragon Quest is a much stronger foundation and way more things should actually be modeled after it instead of trying to be semi-movie games.
>>4111765Even the DQ movie admitted they were just taking credit for your imagination. I didn't think much of it at the time. But a lot of people hated it, and use it to demonstrate that "millennial writing sins" exist even in Japan.
Beginning the process of getting False Arcade on Steam (just its page for now).Since this is going to be the first & last game I'll ever publish there, then just keep updating it with more content & games for the rest of my life. What exactly I ought to title it as over on Steam?1. False Series Arcade2. The False Arcade3. False Games Collection4. False Arcade: Until my life ends
I have never used RPGM before. I was planning a VN in Ren'py but would love to make it an RPG instead. How hard would it be to use hand-drawn assets (not pixel art) for everything? Backgrounds and characters.
>>4112023as long as your assets have the proper resolution, you can do whatever you want, anon.
>>4112020What are you going to do about your itch.io page?
>>4112045>What are you going to do about your itch.io page?I'll continue to publish new releases separately on itch.io, and collectively via False Arcade over there as well. I already have a page set up for False Arcade on my itch.io.But its page on Steam is going to be different, since on Steam, it would be my first & only release, unlike itch.io where False Arcade exists in context of my other releases.

>>4112003"Millennial writing" should be called "wannabe grown-up writing". Because it's criticizing the author more than the writing. For example, they lean towards moral ambiguity because making bad guys do evil for the sake of evil is seen as "childish". They use "therapy talk" because they want to sound smart. And they references and meta-awareness because they want to sound cultured. But I'd argue that these "writing sins" are acceptable in certain genres, and shouldn't be seen as reflections of the writers at all. When you have story frames within story frames, like diving into another character's mind, then self-awareness and psycho-therapy talk is expected, especially if it's meant to be a therapy session. The moral grey area of doing something "bad for good" is an understanding that the narrative is meant to reveal.
>>4112619JOE BIDEN!

It does the ultima formula better than the earlier dragon quest games, and actually gives the player a lot of content to revisit on subsequent playthroughs. If you want to stick strictly to jrpgs though, then Wild Arms 1 & 2 to would be another good template.
>>4112656I think trauma bombing and trauma based writing is the current primary sin.Every character in every game has some background lore that they must thrust into the player's face with "bad childhood experience" -- "still dealing with it" nonsense. They're constantly trying to get people to connect with them through sympathy for 'what happened to them', rather than what is happening or what they do.I think this is worse>>4112619Just someone who posts about themselves, and nothing but reasons to make them seem great or impressive. In other words, a leech on the community.There are people here, so he advertises and hopes someone praises them. If not he overwrites reality with imagination to still receive praise.This same person overuses AI and other people's work + is of course focussed on story telling (also about traumas that happened to characters), and calls this a psychologically themed game. The characters never change or grow; it's a rinse repeat thing, which to be honest is accurate. Without therapy, people tend to remain stuck. That said, it makes it boring to read through.ligma is a nickname, which some of those who hate him use; although apparently they have no clue why they hate him.Just saying, but he does complete games, though they're walking sims, basically linear visual novels in rpg maker, bloated with plugins for visual effects, etc.I think they're interesting works actually. They're okay to some even being impressive, but it doesn't need this much begging for validation. Some accuse him of using this place as a blog, but I wouldn't go that far. It seems more like he's telling what is going on, or baiting people; albeit it with the goal of receiving praise, etc.

>>4112755Why would anyone hate a narcissistic redditor who scares off everyone who wants to make games by shitting up the thread with paragraphs of forum drama bullshit
>>4113153Sounds like gibberish. Can you be more specific & clear?If I understand a part of your drivel correctly... why is it an issue for a game dev to scare off his competition?
>>4113357this is not a space to compete, asshole.
>>4113365So you want to collaborate with me, instead?
>>4113379literally anyone but you.
>>4113381I know.Hence I'm in competition with you all (mostly).
>>4113357>>4113385We know the gays kicked you out of their discord because they couldn't compete with your faggotry, but that isn't how it works here.
>>4113401Who is 'we'? Game dev sissies in pink skirts? Who can't affirm anything, and can only deny?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZTIdnooV-s
dickma meltie in the 'thread~
>>4113434Nobody mentioned men in skirts, but you just had to project your fetish onto me.
>>4113568Slow day at the Guild, I take it?You should finish your video series and get to the storytelling part.
>>4113153So you mentioned a couple of possibilities:> narcissismThe issue is that narcissism in itself doesn't make you hate someone. It might be self centered / self focussed behavior (speaking too much about oneself for example). Narcissism is just a sign of their lack of attention, care and a sense of belonging; so it is a sign of fear.> redditorThis is a more clear reason. "you use reddit, so I don't like you.", though it sounds silly.> scares off everyone.... except that I don't see people actually stop talking when he posts, so that's .. I guess it means you may feel like you shouldn't post or drop by anymore, because....> paragraphsThere are plenty of people who hate text walls, because it wastes their time to read though. (They rather make posts about themselves and read quick replies, looking for community.)Long replies have a higher chance of containing negative input, so they reject all of it, which means... such people are themselves plagued by self centeredness. Forums end up acting 'for them', rather than for everyone 'in their vision'. When fora don't, they become mad.> Forum drama bullshitAlso a valid reason to dislike someone, but the issue is that drama causes drama. It just depends on which drama has the louder voice and which drama point (or point of view) is more accepted and validated.Not accepting one aspect of drama while actively stimulating another is also a sign of self centeredness. "yours is the only one that has a place."Basically as it stands, it seems more like you have your own issues around selfcenteredness. You want your points to be validated and want community to stand up for you and with you. You don't like it that someone who has the same desire is succesful and therefore competition / a threat. You not feeling as important as you think you deserve to feel is why I think you hate Sigma. The rest is just excuses to avoid realizing that.Desiring care is fine and very human, just saying.

Point.
>>4113726The real sigma is probably just as in the dark about that as the impersonator.
>>4113832Nobody is impersonating me, I have multiple personalities. When I see male sissies in pink skirts & get aroused, my homosexual alter fronts.

Barajam starts in 30mins. Don't know why I bother, it's the same thing with you guys every year.
>>4115944I've said it before and I'll say it again. They shouldn't call it a game jam when 90% of the entries are visual novels. Have the hosts ever participated themselves? Being generous; their no ai rule and their admission that it should be about "you" makes it an off putting job fair for artists.

>>4115979Technically yes. Although you could say they participated before they were hosts. I think the old hosts have disappeared. They've been on itch for nearly 10 years, and I think before that most of the group were on an ib4f site that did annual events before everyone called them "jams"
Okay, been filling up my info on Steam for publishing, and now that's paused as it's going to take some days for them to verify my identity, tax details & stuff. (Hopefully that clears.)So, while waiting, I had an idea for the AI disclosure I could possibly put up on my game's steam page. >See & Read in ScreenshotAny feedback or suggestions or things I may be leaving out? Perhaps on things I could add in the AI-free section?
also,>They shouldn't call it a game jam when 90% of the entries are visual novelst. literally has never played a single fucking jam game why the fuck do you even think you have the right to speak let alone breathe the same air as usOUT
>>4116092This, there's legitimately so few jam entries that count as VNs in the entire history of /vrpg/ rpgm threads that you can count them on one hand.

>>4116193>You don't entirely know what bits of your work are AI generatedI'm fairly certain of what's AI-generated & what's not in my game, since I've been playing with generative AI since it came to public & have developed the sense for it. >considering you're using a ton of plugins Steam no longer requires disclosure on generative coding (unless in some edge cases).Likely because majority devs or big-companies are all utilizing it. >Steam has their own checking on it thoughBy what I've researched, it seems Steam mainly just checks the store page and the assets there. And on launch, runs the game to see if it's playable past the Title-screen. That's it.As long as nothing on the store-page (or user reports later) hints that my AI disclosure is inaccurate, I should be clear. >Grats on making it on Steam btw.Not there yet, but super happy regardless! International payment gateways had been lacking in my country, so I'm happy just by the fact I am easily able to redirect earnings from my Patreon, and pay the Steam's submission fees on my own now. A few years ago, I would have required a publisher for this. And would have lost my independence. >I expect some of the drama to happen on your Steam Hub and within reviewsEhhh... I already made a reddit community, a discord community, and an itch.io forum for my games... and nothing much happened. They tend not to cause drama in spaces where I have the control to delete their messages or ban them. They'll likely come and cause drama here and on the guilds forum, instead. XD (And possibly in the reviews too... maybe.)>I might watch your steam store page later... not sure yet.Wanna be a mod of my Steam hub? XD (Joking.

>>4125165Goldberg replaces the steam api dllwhich means it redirects connections to steam to your local machine.There is also a dll that blocks all of the connections from going over the internet, so would also disable multiplayer, etc. Basically, its like running a game in offline mode.Steam cannot detect goldberg basically,and if it detects there is something wrong with the dll, then the validation system will simply update the file. It doesn't track that you replaced it.Also, if the files exist outside of the steam folder, then steam has no way of doing anything to them in the first place.gogunlocked is mostly okay... mostly. rpg maker isn't on gog though so I am not sure what they're holding.I recommended skidrow reloaded instead in an earlier post.Use an adblocker (ublock origin or adnauseum. adnauseum is better because it attacks ads instead of just preventing them from loading.)no need for a vpn since your internet is already encrypted (tls)feel free touse a vpn if you're worried about site tracking.Whatever you pirate, scan the files with malwarebytes or eset internet security "and" windows defender. (use at least two antivirus solutions)... or send the exe file to virus total.Goldberg is the steam dll file. Like I said, replace it with the official one. idk what they did to it.

RPG Craft when?
I have been wondering something...Why is it that Sigma's characters feel kind of ...uninteresting?I think it is in part because the AI use causes them to be portrayed in many different styles, and them in a new outfit as such doesn't really feel special.But there is a second thing that may be a me problem... but I think it's basically as if all of them are the same person. There is somewhat a different choice in words, but they all have the same or a similar opinion about some things. The only time they're not is when they speak to eachother, but thats basically like internal arguments.There isn't anything that makes one character mad while the other character doesn't care at all, or finds it pleasant, or something like that. Also the behaviors are similar. People display emotions in different ways and differently per situation, but- there is basically 5 ways emotions get displayed; so it feels fixed.The consequence is that they feel like puppets rather than characters at least.It doesn't really matter that much for RPGs which are about 5 characters and the rest is background, but even those background characters have more interesting things about them, where one old guy is a pervert (stereotype I know but still) and the other is for whatever reason in love with some character in another town.Considering his works are more chaarcter driven stories than games, it feels a bit at least. Exaggering an emotion (to make them clear) doesn't really change the emotion. The vibe of the room always leans towards one conclusion.
*cough*
So, if I wanna add to VX Ace a machanic to make characters learn skill by fusing other skills which are consumed in the process, I just use Yanfly's Learn Engine and then call a Common Event to erase the base skills right?
>>4129184I disagree. I don't think his games are character driven. Author Allen Scott Card came up the MICE quotient to explore 4 main factors in story structure. Characters are a factor in every story, but they're not always the point or focus. M.I.C.E.Milieu, Idea, Character, and Event.False Awakening, being stuck in a dream, that's an "Idea".False Narrative, being the subject of organized harassment, that's "Milieu".False Rebirth, living in a post apocalyptic setting, that's an "Event" focus. The Ruler, and Dogma & Liberty, are perhaps "Character" focused, but they're basically just a demo These factors exist in different proportions to every story. Milieu is probably the weakest across most stories as mere subtext. But it's also probably the strongest in JRPGs. Because it's important context for fantasy and scifi speculative fiction. Generally NPC interactions are going to signal some kind of communal life (or lack thereof).
>>4129522You might be insane.
>>4129521"Road trips" are generally considered milieu. And that's exactly what the traditional world touring JRPGs is. Not that anyone around here makes those.
>>4096934video is private. anyone know what channel it came from
Fellas, how do you make an ingame "character customization" using only events (vx ace). I can easily implement adding actor2 to party then forcing the player to change the name, class, and starting equip, but how do you make it automatically move on to actor3, actor 4 and so on so forth with the same trigger
>>4130183Well, you already got Actor 2 sorted out. Just copypasta that shit afterward except replace all instances of Actor 2 with Actor 3, 4, etc.
>>4125900but why erfbond
>>4129521False Awakening is about a character in his dream; so it explores his emotions, memories, feelings, etc. It's a character coming to terms with themselves essentially.False Narrative is about the experience of a character, reacting to a hostile environment. It shows how the character goes from trying to be normal and accept it to outright banning them with the ban blade. The theme is the sense of helplessness, and feeling that it is now required to use the blade.I haven't played the others, but they're all focussed on the characters and their inner selves. They're, in sigma's own words 'psychological'. Psychologically themed are inheritly character and their drama driven.I don't really care about authors and their ideas. Games aren't books.For games, there is a foundation. Based on that foundation.Games that call themselves story driven and only spam narration and let the player walk tfrom scene to scene, don't even care about the environment all that much- except that it also serves the narration. This structure means inheritly that the background, the environment may as well be cut out and you get the same effect. The background, and evironment are basically christmas bells on a christmas tree.And the player's only job is to flip the page in these. You walk from cutscene to cutscene, maybe solve a puzzle here and there, but that's it.What are these games about then? Characters telling about their trauma. ... e.g. character driven. Their sole foundation is characters and some kind of trauma. Without that, there is no game. (because even the limited gameplay doesn't matter and could be cut out, you'd still get a similar experience.)
>>4129535Sure feels like it. Despite how many examples exist of how to make a platformer, it's still pretty stressful having everything so tightly bound together. Trying to diagnose things like collision problems due to the exact order that shit fires off is hair-pulling. Not to mention trying to dial in physics by hand based purely on feel.Though, having access to Maniacs ForEach->MEV is one of the biggest godsends for this since it saves at least one headache in accounting for things like spawning events. Also nice to be able to grab MEV names in strings rather than having to dump parameters as data into a page, though whether it's better or worse performance-wise is a crapshoot.

>>4130863We're calling Codex "Codes" now?
>>4130964>We're calling Codex "Codes" now?Either is fine.I planned to have her be called something different in each story/game. And Codex was sort of a placeholder name for me to use in her graphic files.So when it came to addressing her outside the games, in the Arcade, which I had not planned for. I decided to switch it up to 'Codes'. As it sounded easier on the tongue to say, and sounded more relevant as a name/title for someone operating an Arcade.
>>4130566You started out asking why his characters weren't interesting. Their emotions and interactions are a narrative issue. I think you should stick to that topic. A lot of RPGs give characters traumatic backstories and emotional baggage. Like, "a dingo ate my baby!"And then you visit that character's hometown, and they're like "that's the dingo that ate my baby!"So then you slay the dingo. And the character gets closure, and maybe some dingo fur boots or something.
>>4131350There isn't much else to say, which is why the reply I got went about how I misplaced the games as character driven.Strangely it seems indeed that people aren't disagreeing with the character narration being the issue. It is difficult for one person to come up with personalities, points of views, etc. I suppose this is especially true for someone who is preoccupied with themselves, since they literally only have themselves as a point of view to look on the world from.I think most RPGs handle character lore better at least, sometimes as you said as some kind of side quest or event.I also think there is an overreliance on sympathy in games. Characters seemingly must have had something bad happen to them in the past, and they must dump this on you, otherwise you won't relate nor care about them. For whatever reason modern games cannot create a character that is liked for the things they do in game, or be liked without having some traumatic past.

Another day, of taking a decoration around the Arcade and turning it into something interactable. This time, a 3D interactive Rubik's Cube.
next jam theme "miracle" because it'd take a miracle for anyone to actually make a game for it.
>>4132727Use ai.
>>4131848I supppse there's the case of millinnial writing. You can do a story that's all flashbacks, discovering the past. But it gets old fast. You got to give the characters something to do in the present. Like "healing".I can think of a lot of "psychological" games where the characters run around in these spiritual or mental plains and fight the literal manifestation of their ghosts and demons. But that doesnt leave alot of space to live in the present. You get uplifting music and some sentiments about turning towards dawn, the future is bright, ect... that's usually where the story ends. With adventures and and rpgs, the passage of time is a fuzzy. The characters are always reminiscing and dredging up memories during their quest. They don't heal, they open old wounds. The story is not asking you to sympathize with the hero just because his father disappeared when the hero was a child. The hero is over it; he thinks his father is dead. To no one's surprise, the father will reappear, probably on team bad guy. Sometimes used as a missing person mystery. Like, they're not really looking for him, but the story drops hints that he's alive somewhere.

How the fuck do I even use AI to dev? Do I just tell one of these things to shit me out a tileset?>>4118086I can't because her game was remade in Unity and she's no longer RPGM>>4124227The community was strongest during the XP days and you had a lot of non-porn, non-RTP flip games. Not to say they didn't exist back then, they certainly did, but the more flexible the engine gets, the less effort gets put into it.
>>4136157It's getting there. I haven't tried it yet, but the latest OpenAI model can apparently open your software and work in Blender, or draw in MsPaint. So in theory they could follow the techniques used to make tiles tileable, and formatted to the engines resource standards. By "hand".The current image generators have limited outputs, so pixel art comes out at like x8 scale. Some assembly required.It can also just generate a full game map. You draw a forest maze, screenshot it, give it to image generators and do a image-to-image prompt to make it an Underwater Coral maze. And then just use that as a parallax. No tileset required.Do we need it to be a tileset? The concept of tilesets comes from the SNES days when games needed to be as compressed as possible. The difference between a tileset.png and a parallax.png in file size is negligible today. PS5 games ship out that are 90gb unoptimized "slop"; I suspect is a form or "peg warming" that toy manufactures used to do. They don't have to worry about competition if they take up all the shelf space. Although with RM games, I delete games and demos after I play them. So what do I care if your game is 200MB bigger than it needs to be? Outside of "resources", MV and MZ datafiles are all just JSON files. AI doesn't need to navigate the RM Editor to work on your project. For the last 2-3 years you could give it those files and have it insert dialogue and event commands or new database entries. With today's agentic AI models, it can actually look at the tilesets and understand the relationship between a bed, and a string of tileIDs in the map data, and generate a map with a bedroom.

(AI is annoying, just saying)let it read the code and then make something based on it.Otherwise you may get stupid results.Also remove any commands that close rpg maker prematurely.For ArtGrab a couple of templates and images, and then ask AI to generate based on those.You'll need money for claude or whatever you're going to use. You'll also be shunned, for rewarding and thus causing more of those data centers in people's backyard + piracy. It's not your code, you have no clue how it is licensed. Its not your art either, so also no clue on the license. etc.
Have you seen the recent interview with the different Rpg Software devs talking about the future of Ai and how they're quickly becoming obsolete? Smoking Wolf was the most real. And acknowledged that people were not using these RPG tools to make RPGs. Meanwhile Ichinose, was phoning it from 2012 or something. Answering every question plugging "Yumi Nikki" or "To the Moon". Maybe that was a response to Smoking Wolf, because those were also not RPGs. Then his strategy for the future was to sell to 50-60 year olds. Who does he think has been using their software for the last 30 years? They talk about how AI can be applied to game development. But none of them were humble to say AI can also identify problems in their own software, and can search the internet and see the 30 years of user complaints they've never addressed. Understand why people are using AI in the first place. And who's shunning who.

>>4137147it's not an absurd reason, it's actually the same reason i don't play AAA garbage. games made by committee always end up losing their individuality, the bigger the committee the worse it gets until you eventually end up with something that has zero identity other than perhaps the IP it's based on such as the recent wolverine game, in which wolverine himself could be replaced with kratos and you'd lose absolutely nothing.ai allows innocent retards to basically do the same thing except the problem is magnified one thousand fold. you can't feel any true intent from a project that uses ai, you can only picture some guy sitting at a computer, picking his nose as he types>give me a good idea>give me a picture of a girl with big boobs>tell me how my game should work>tell me how my story should endtotal inability to think for oneself or make decisions for oneself -> "just ask grok to fuck my wife for me" -> disgusting stillborne abomination against godtl;dr lmfao shut up philistine

Here's a truth: if problems existed 30 years ago and they didn't address it, then AI will not help them fix these. Instead, they'll keep these problems around because-- a fix is easier than making new software, and the japanese are scammers. They rather sell the exact same software again with some fixes, instead of selling the best product from the start.That is why you have Sonic Adventure, then sonic adventure DX.

But Agentic AI made the issue worse. Right now its very easy for people to release absolute trash to people with a price tag, and then pretend they made it, even though they have no ownership over the copyright of the code the AI copied from somewhere. Not to mention, the shit performance.Have you seen how other react to his work: https://www.reddit.com/r/RPGMaker/comments/1xd3vy2/ed5_card_game_maker_make_your_own_card_battler_in/It just points out how laughable it is.Speaking of which, he's also making another game engine and importing RPG Maker assets into this. This of course is against every RPG Maker EULA, which means he's a software pirate, but it's more fun to get him into legal trouble when he's somewhat close to done, so that the impact is bigger.I'm not sure how you're even thinking of it being some kind of job application request, why would you want to work with someone who is primarily interested in boasting themselves up and promotes construction of noisy data centers that keep poor US citizens awake at night?>>4138738Thanks
>>4138738Read it.I see their opinion isn't pro-AI, rather it is pro-fun. If you find it fun to use AI, then by all means use AI to develop games.The thing is though, people who have fun making content or games, even with AI, are not going to produce low quality trash. If they find a bug, they'll fix it. People who have fun are more likely invested enough to even learn about the code backend, instead of skipping over it. Meaning, they at least do something instead of waiting for output and claim it as their own.People don't release something with a price tag for fun though. They release it with a monetary insentive, and to produce sales, they're going to ramp up the amount of things they release, decrease the time it takes to release these, etc.Money + AI corrupts. An arabian prince and an oil shack are fighting over their AI slop on which is better: Who is going to be the winner?The answer: The datacenter business, nvidia, claude, etc.Who's the loser: The locals living near the datacenter, increased electricity prices, less water, noise pollusion.

>>4138963easyrpg is exclusively for playing only RM2000/2003 compiled games, while RPG Matrix >>4138844 is clearly for development.
>>4139266It's one of the most basic features of Maniacs. You can also change it from the System2 tab.The battle system is and will always be the biggest mistake of 2k3 in general. BingShan was developing a full-blown Maniacs 2k replacement battle system at one point (available only from the Maniacs Patch discord), but it's not without its problems and should be considered highly experimental. The 2k3-based editor is also not really set up for manipulating the 2k battle system which I don't think is something that patched version accounts for yet.
>>4100071is this scoob game 2loved the first one
>>4139411nta but where do you even find that replacement battle system? I thought he was trying to fix the 2k3 battle system, not replace 2k's Unless I'm mistaken and the Patch also works for 2k?
>>4139589>(available only from the Maniacs Patch discord)The last update to the 2k default battle system replica for 2k3 Maniacs was over a year ago at this point. There are no guarantees about if or how well it functions even once you do get your hands on it. It's all written in Javascript and the source code for the replacement battle system is right there once you get your hands on it.
>>4138758All I'm getting from your impotent whining is you should go back there and stay there.
>>4139647the last update was over a year agothe last message from the dev in that discord was over a year ago too. By japanese standards, maniacs is abandonware
Having figured out making small 3D bits of interactions in RPG Maker MV, I added dipping in & going underwater inside the Arcade. And moving around in 1st person.
>>4140257More
>>4140145It does just about everything most devs who are actually "maniac" users want it to do. Most people who care about the 2k default battle system will just use 2k anyway and aren't averse to going full default. Abandonware or not, it's just lucky we got what Maniacs provides before BingShan gave up.
>>4139411That here is the reason I'm sticking to 2k, even if it means missing on the improvements brought by 2k3 and Maniacs2k's dbs is not perfect my any means, it's really locked down and has some weird quirks when it comes to things like buffs and debuffs for example, but it absolutely is possible to make something fun with it, especially if you get creative with battle events. On the other hand 2k3's ATB makes me want to press alt+f4 faster than the speed of light regardless of if I'm deving or if I'm just a player.For anyone like me who's not that technically advanced when it comes to complicated eventing and such, I'd say just stick to 2k. 2k3+maniacs is great but only really if you're planning or making your own crazy cbs, or if you're making something with alternative gameplay like your plateformer.
>>4140512Honestly, even for advanced shit, 2k can be made pretty usable with a few basic patches to the exe (pic pointer patch being the big one). It's still missing important stuff like built-in v[v[x]] for conditions and spritesheets, but the former is just a matter of discipline/having a dedicated set of generic variables for handling it. The latter is solved by PicPointerPatch providing the alternative of replacing the last 4 digits this is the better way to do it in stock S2k3 anyway since large spritesheets present performance issues in a hurry for some reason.If I could ever figure out how to get the TPC compiler to play nice with 2k's database, it'd be even nicer. As it stands, I can't figure out what part of the database blueprints need to be tweaked in order to get it to compile directly, though the Map and Map Tree work just fine. Being able to bypass the pain of actually writing swathes of event code in the 2k editor would make it a lot more appealing.
different dialogue methods, custom (various possible implementations), default and through OS. Last one i never even seen before ai suggested it.also fuck all community plugins glory to custom java script

>>4140553id like to have dialogue to be loaded from yarn or twine but would need to create a bridge for it and not sure if its worth the effort instead of feeding the text to ai and asking it to write the script in 5 seconds
>>4140535Just figured out the blueprint issue and got TPC to compile directly into 2k. I know this is of interest to less than a fraction of the already minuscule percentage of users but the tl;dr is:>entry 1 of the battle trigger defs should be i8 instead of i16 (2k has simpler battle triggers than 2k3, necessitating an extra byte)>entries 1 and 3 of term defs are missing outright from 2k3 due to a difference in battle strings and just need to be added in with the other defs as "1: str" "3: str"Don't even need to delete the "extra" fields like classes, animation2, not even stringvar, which came as a surprise to me.https://pastebin.com/ezLAtggn
>>4140613I would definitely LIKE to be a power user of RM2K, and I'm pretty confident you have helped me with technical hurdles on this very board in the past few years, but I'm just not cut out for it. I don't even understand half of what you're saying.
>>4140325I mostly just wish the dev would come back and address some of the bugs. The Set State Battle Hook only ever returning a value of 1 has had me need to use the Targeting Hook and a 60 Variable long array just to keep track of states that have been inflicted, whereas that could be 1 maybe 2 variables large if the command worked properly.
>waiting for u2u's release to start making a game>will probably slack off anyway once it releases
Been 27 days since I signed up to publish my game on Steam, & my account has been stuck in review since. (I imagine due to Next Fest & AI gen games stressing the system)I was going to decide how to go about releasing False Arcade after I get my steam page up. But anxiously waiting is annoying...

Hence, I find that RPG Maker's limits are a feature, not a bug. And I appreciate them.>your game looks too good for itThank you. (T_T) I just happen to create these 3D bits because I recently found out I could.

Some things are a little annoying however, such as trees animations all starting in the same frame when animated by the wind instead of having a random starting frame.>Doesn't matter to general RPG Maker users. Who are not programmers and choose RPG Maker specifically to avoid programming. I agree, but sometimes you always need a custom solution here and there. LUAU seems less worse than JS, but I'd prefer something like C# since it's using Unity anyway.

>>4141538RPGM U2U is just Unite Ace>the futuredepends on what you mean? Will it be RPG Maker Reddits main occupation? Likely..Will it be used by hardcore game devs? Unlikely... the reason is because it is still unity and unity is pushing for:- AI- Ads in games- DLC- Crappy EULAs that change price tag on the goetc.It's still Epic, Tim Sweenie, etc. So, of course people will avoid it.Kadokawa should have made RPG Maker Godot imo.>Programming languagesU2U supports JavaScript as well unfortunately using the same crappy plugin system as MZ. In fact they're trying to make the plugins almost the same so that people can easily move plugins for MZ to U2U.LUAU is the main scripting language yeahbut it also supports C#.I suspect it will get plagued with AI coded nonsense, which will also push away users.The fact is a lot of Roblox games are made with AI and often copied from other people, demos on Steam for example, or even Tweets. LUAU is a roblox thing, so I suspect a bunch of games to get 'ported to U2U', and then people pretending it is awesome, not realizing this is how the end of the gaming era begins.My thought ssummarize to: It's shit.
>>4142038>Will it be used by hardcore game devs? Unlikely... the reason is because it is still unityAnon, "hardcore" game devs don't really care about the points you've mentioned, they just want to get things done. It's mostly indies that complain about anything, specially about AI. In reality, the fact that it's unity might actually encourage that userbase to give U2U a chance. >Kadokawa should have made RPG Maker Godot imo.Godot is usually not very stable, and it's mainly c++ and gdscript. You can be much more productive by making tools with C#, and Unity's editor is made using their own C# ui framework. Most importantly, there's also the matter of support: Godot relies on the community, whereas unity can provide some dedicated channel for japanese devs. >U2U supports JavaScript as well unfortunately using the same crappy plugin system as MZ. In fact they're trying to make the plugins almost the same so that people can easily move plugins for MZ to U2U.I see they have created the concepts of editor plugins and runtime plugins. The former can also call the latter. I think they're setting up a good base for building what could be a very nice ecosystem.>LUAU is the main scripting language yeah>but it also supports C#.This is actually really nice.>I suspect it will get plagued with AI coded nonsense, which will also push away users.This is bound to happen to all engines with plugin systems. Inexperienced people will always generate AI slop, but people that know what they're doing will likely produce something usable.Anyway, I hope I didn't sound like a douchebag. Your concerns are all valid, I just have a good feeling about the direction they're heading with it.
>>4142163by hardcore, I meant 'taking it seriously' mainly, not for the financial insentive or for popularity or whatever. It wasn't supposed to be like triple A or people who skip out on game engines or something. I mean there is even a spectrum within videogame hardcore difficulty communities, but what they do share in common is that they don't cheat or try to cheese (usually at least).or play it in a lazy way, just for views, popularity or donations.
Wolf RPG editor is pretty cool and all, wish it was more intuitive to use. Strange that it doesn’t have battle eventing for troops like in rpg maker tho
I've been a bit lost & unfocused lately, I suspect because there are too many things I could focus on, and too many directions I can progress within the Arcade. And so I made a Trello-like taskboard (for myself) inside my game's debug menu. So I can note tasks & better stay on track.
>>4142243What is the goal of your game?You're literally just adding stuff woithout any reason for it to be there at this point, which is bad.You need a purpose for the game. That will help figure out where to go from here. Like, how do you want the player to experience this game? What are the fun aspects that the player should ineract with, what are the story elements you want to tell the player.Try making it fun for the player as they go towards this goal.
MZ plugins scene is so terrible, most plugins are either obfuscated and/or vibecoded
>>4142798Code them yourself then.
>>4142809That won't make them part of the scene. There's the community, and then there's the publishing consortium.
I've been having a lot of deja vu lately. I don't know if it's me, or if everyone else is in such a rut that I ended up reacting and repeating stuff as a consequence.
https://storage.to/FAzFU1LH2 Spirit Reality or what have been done so far. I think it's the demo or not.
>>4142827come again?
>>4142827Sloppa
>>4142862I'm willing to bet you open the game, and the title screen is the MV Castle with Theme 6.
>>4142827anon even making a crude drawing is a million times better than using ai sloppa
>Spirit CookingI hope you lose a finger.
>>4142798The issue isIt's overwhelming and overflowing with those, so any handcoded plugins will be unnoticed.vibecoders constantly, constantly advertise. They make a site, set up a cloudflare R2 host for their files or whatnot, spam reddit, etc.I mean 'caspergaming' cannot help for example to spam "join my forum" with every single one of his posts, though he twists that comment slightly to make people more likely to join, but you get the point.They're walking ads. They're the ad business in the RPG Maker scene basically.because attention, importance, praise, fame, money .. and being shielded from critique by their followers and braindead people.You can't win, unless you literally start your own site / community, and then you would win only there.
>>4137409I always thought it would be so fucking cool if they'd released an RPG maker game that's in the style of either of the RPG Maker games for PS2.
>>4143198The PS2 technically had an internet add-on, I can't see it doing any better or worse than the games on WITH. Which I haven't looked at in a while.
>>4142964Because the previous one I made look shit.
>>4142883Buy a ad and act serious for once in your life.
>>4141023Well, I'm not going to lie and tell you that it's easy. Without having banged my head against RPGM and made many a custom menu/battle/other things in it, I'm not sure I'd fully appreciate or understand why having TPC to LARP as a programming language is so good.What I can tell you is that the 2k/2k3 editor makes YOU remember things, while this lets the computer remember them for you. That's its true power. Instead of saying "v[1337] = 69" and needing to remember what it is and where you used it, you can tell the compiler once where it is and give it a name:>defv MyVariable = 1337Then, you can just write>MyVariable = 69The payoff comes later on when you decide 1337 isn't where you wanted it. Going raw in the editor, you'd have to open every event to hunt down every place you used v[1337] and change it to its new home. In TPC, you just scroll back up to where you defined it and change it to something like>defv MyVariable = 420The compiler sees every place where you used MyVariable and automatically slots in the new number without you having to worry about it.Another benefit is that it makes every bit of code you write easier to reuse or share. If I wanted to send one of the /vrpgm/ OGs like Ojosama or Retinacyst a useful module, I could give it to them in a way that they can import into their project that wouldn't clash with their existing stuff.And with 2k in particular... working directly in the editor is suffering incarnate. Sure, Maniacs is better in every way, but there's a certain charm and allure of the simpler "classic" 2k that is more fun to work with when you aren't hamstrung by the extremely clunky editor.
>>4143241Checking the archive. The last time it was mentioned here was in 2021
>>4143282nta but this is basically telling me I'm not actually using the TPC right. I've just been using it as the thing I open with F2 and F3 when I don't want to have to deal with the command UI. However you set this thing up, I have no idea, but revealing that I don't have to be limited to the retarded Switch/Variable array is tempting me to beg you to spoonfeed me on how to actually set it up and make it work.
>>4143305I'm sure by now no one is mostly using that music.
>>4142883
>>4138844>https://rpgmatrix.com/lol yeah, I wait for torrent plz
>>4142964That was the previous old title screen lmao
>>4143333This is about as simple and spoonfeedy as I can think to make it. This isn't comprehensive, but should get you a foothold at the very least.
>>4143497Another very helpful example of meta variable usage is generating large amounts of code quickly. You can consider it a full-blown replacement for the things TkoolBridge was once used for.
Made a Chess game out of RPG Maker MZ set in the Sega Saturn Universeits pretty much Chess on LSDhttps://cyanideangelstudio.itch.io/saturn-chess
Why would anyone still use MV over MZ in the year 2027-1?
>>4143804because of personal reasons.Maybe they bought MV for 70 dollars for example. Maybe they like the plugins for MV more. Maybe they appreciate there is less push for paid content on MV, idk.Why would anyone use MZ?Its the same rediculous question. Let people use whatever they want. I'll just rant about it if they obfuscate code or use AI or both either way and I'll complain about javascript. ;pyou could ask the same thing
>>4143497>>4143524https://vrpghonyakubu.neocities.org/rm2k-2k3-tech/TkoolPartialCompiler/tutorialDecided to take the meme image and turn it into something closer to a useful resource.
>>4143497>>4143524>>4143988Thanks a bunch anon, I'll follow this and run some tests on 2k to see how it works. RPG Maker has always bothered me with how you're allowed to search for where variables are used, but never reassign them en masse, so this is a game changer for me.
>>4143804Because Yanfly retired from RPGM after MV and since he was the dev adding plugins that should have given the engine everything it should have had on launch, I'm stuck with it until I can learn to vibecode properly.
>>4144149People don't vibecode anymore. They go to therapy because they built an identify around a skill nobody needs now.

How do I stop being depressed and push myself to start making my game?
>>4144615>>high quality title nah low quality slop is better lolThanks. :D But I'm not using it.
>>4144149Yanfly was the main coder for VisuStella. Most of the VisuStella Codebase are yanfly's work.He quitted at some point sure, but that only a couple of years back.Yanfly and archeia have been working together for a while, and it seems yanfly doesn't know his own code.

>>4144739Did he died?
Nothing special for Halloween?
>>4144756why didn't you make anything
>>4144696>How do I stop being depressed and push myself to start making my game?A couple of options: 1. Believe in God, become a Muslim. It'll give you purpose in life, help you realize your life is directed by God (the greatest solo-developer in existence), and it'll help you with your game dev to take Him as inspiration. To direct the lives of your characters in a similar way as God does with yours.2. Make a game with your self-insert fighting / expressing / addressing depression you're dealing with. And don't end the story until you address (in the game) how / where it started and until your in-game character resolves it and overcomes it. 3. Motivation is directly linked to eating habits. So start water fasting. Eat once a day. Or eat a day and skip the next. If your body feels less fulfilled (via prolonged periods of non-eating due to water fasting), your body will become more active & motivated & you'll feel sharper. (And your depression will be pushed down at the back of your mind) It's your body's way of getting you to get energetic and become smarter so you can acquire more food. But instead of acquiring more food, you use the enhancements (of motivation) to work on a game.

>>4144756I make a lot of stuff. But its not special because I used AI to do it in, like, 4 minutes. Argon + Antigravity. And then I do stuff with SigmaSuccour's characters. So everyone hates that. Including him. Trick or Treat? You decide. Happy Halloween
I got my hands on a low spec chromebook laptop... with weird Windows installed instead of ChromeOS. (Not gonna connect THAT to anything.) So been installing different operating systems on it, to try & make it useful for some game-dev tasks or have it function as a back-up.

>>4144909Soon, the memes will end
But. For real. Has anyone made a GTA clone in rpg maker?
>>4145006GTA was a top down scroller (if you don’t remember)
>>4144954Two-month self imposed Halloween game jam. Pretty epic. : )
>>4144820Like what?
>>4145570Argon hasn't been out long. 2-3 weeks? But it's a big leap forward. I've had models make mock-up database entries before. But you always had to do it in baby steps. They weren't smart enough to assign appropriate icon ids from a sheet. And stats were chosen at random. But Argon can look at the icon sheet and pick out the right elemental icons for elemental skills. >Argon + Antigravity It can create an entirely new database of actors, classes, items, skills, equipment, enemies, and troops with balanced stats ranging from level 1-99. 1 prompt, it's done in like 10-20minutes. It can also create a map with the tilesets. But it's usage isn't unlimited, so I wouldn't recommend it. A year or 2 ago I vibecoded this mindmap thing for RPG Maker. It was super basic. It places nodes, you type in names, you add a picture. You connect the nodes with lines. There was a lot to be desired, but I was satisfied with the fact it only took an afternoon. Argon took that and added like 100x more QoL features. I'm always telling people how foolish it is to ask artists to make generator parts, when the artist can just draw the character for you. Well, that's where I'm at with AI. I had it make a tool, so I can manually create a mindmap myself. But it can just do it itself. Give it a transcript of a game or movie, it'll plot out all the characters and relationships for you in under a minute.
