WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

Been making skillsets for SECRET GAME~

I'm not sure there's any part of game design I enjoy as much as making skillsets for characters, except possibly making them for enemies. Last night around 10 PM I was like "Hmm I should work on this design doc a little" and then at 6 AM I was like "Hmm I can't actually see the computer screen any more, maybe I should get three hours of sleep before work"

You'd think the ideas I come up with when I am so tired I cannot actually read what I'm writing would not be very good. But sometimes they're actually the best ideas. My brain makes these brilliant links between things that it wouldn't have the processing power to make if I were distracted by obnoxious things like sensory input and coherent thoughts. Also I'm far less likely to get distracted by TV Tropes or forum threads.

I had to redraw my main character. The portrait was absolute bollocks (I think I was having an off day) since this revised version is exactly how I want him to look. He's able to be adorable, evil, a mix, serious, aaah~

I also needed to fix his hair for REASONS

Did you try using the Initialize MIDI function in the menu and dropping the music into the Audio folder directly? AFAIK Ace still takes MIDI and there's no real reason why Lite shouldn't especially if it has MP3 support like it does (I mean who MIDI use? :|)

Old versus New:

His outfit is very Men in Tights. The game is set late 13th century, and what I researched sketchily had the outfits quite close.

In terms of hair...yep, just a slight alteration for my own purposes. The main reason I redrew was because the first one made it very hard for me to make facial expressions that I felt matched 'him' as a character. I was only able to get a few done and they felt badly made. The colouring also turned out horrendous and in the end it was enough to prompt me to attempt doing a complete retry.

old neutral vs new smiling:


I think I was having a bad day (this approximately 48 hours between drawing times)

It runs them just fine. It just won't let me import them. And I was planning on just importing the rest of the RTP music to work with.

Eh, whatever. No big deal.

I like this character. :) He looks really good. The new version looks less "loopy evil", and more "looks nice on surface, but can get nasty if he wants to".

Duh. I'm still trying (and failing) on that animated_monsters thing, getting it to run through config. Even though supposedly I've declared it dragon's job and none of my business, I'm obsessed with solving it. You'd think with Cherry, Pepsi, Kaze, and dragon one of them would've told me something that would just "click" and I'd solve it in like five minutes.

...I have no idea how to do this, what I tried is not working.

I like making forest towns. I was doing that, but now I'm not. I think I'll get back to it though.

Hey guys, I have a quick question : Is it okay if the characters can do more damage than the amount of HP they have ? I have a character with over 1500 HP at level 5, and he has a skill that can do about 1900 damage (Over 300 damage per hit, 6 times). I also have another one with 1200 HP at level 1, and she has a skill that deals over 1500 damage (About 300 damage per hit, 5 times). :D

Another one has a special skill that does over 7000 damage, which takes 100 TP. Should I fix these ? :P

So is it fine if I just leave them like that ? The enemies at the beginning have 1000-1700 HP.:P
