Has this topic helped you guys at all with progress on your games?

Well it hasn't hurt but I feel like this topic has been too much of people posting their progress and not enough people commenting on other peoples' progress. If that makes any sense.
I never thought that the point of this topic was to comment on other ppl progress, just to motivate ppl to actually progress by compromising on posting it in a regular basis. If that makes any sense :P

If I wasn't a failure, it would've.

Although for the first couple of weeks that I actually kept schedule, it did very much. Well done.

I should stop being a failure.
In fact, yeah, I think I'll do that.

WIP for a Chrono game, well not a remake but somewhat of a sequel.
Is that gonna be Chrono VX or Chrono XP?
No, Chrono Limit, making it with ika.
10/18-

Decided stat curves were not even worth the effort, and thereby made my life much easier, after doing about 50/95. >.>
Began to frame the enemy AI. Jesus, this AI stuff is scary.
^ I think you mean 11/18.
Yesterday, I did nothing of substance. If only the days were longer.
He uses a metric calendar. It has 100 months, each with 10 days.
Today i,

-Redid some of the storyine.
-Updated the characters.
-Added full list of weapons to the battle system.
-Started planning out the world map.

Total time spent making: 1 hour 30 minutes.

Is that gonna be Chrono VX or Chrono XP?
Yea, it'll be on VX, ika still lags like shit in Vista, and until the next release RMVX will do just fine. It's mapping is surprisingly exactly like Snes, people just need to get over it. It can make any Snes map without much problems OR panoramas.

Also RGSS2 with XP doesn't work too well, actually map size is very limited + it lags unlike VX, XP may have unlimited maps but ask yourself does a snes/gba game HAVE that much tiles/need for that many tiles? No, most things will fit just fine in a charset.
Metric calendar? I'm using a Typo Calendar, apparently. Yes, 11/18. >.<

11/19- Basic AI mapping complete.. Now to actually code the damn thing. DDD=
Yesterday, I added two treasures to Lakel Cave, only to find that weapons and armor can't be added to the party inventory, which is just silly.

What do you mean they can't be added to the party inventory?

Really haven't accomplished anything lately besides working on the unbelievably vast setting for S P L I N T E R, my tabletop game.

In RPG Maker VX, items, weapons and armor are stored three different ways. And, it turns out they can be added to the party inventory, just under "Change Weapons" and "Change Armor" commands. It's weird, because in the last three makers (RM2k, RM2k3 & RMXP), everything worked with Add Item. This makes RMVX more like RM95 and the SNES Makers than the others.

Oh your right, but "Change Weapons" and "Change armor" still adds it to the party's inventory
I haven't progressed at all lately due to a certain game.
