WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT? (GAME DEVELOPMENT EDITION)

Thinking about what pool of graphics I should take my boss battler images from - I would have enough to work with in standard RTP, but I don't know if there's good ones for boss minions. Furthermore, I need to look how to spawn minions into a battle elegantly.

For the first time in a long time, I have ideas for about 3 different games in my head... but I'll never finish Riot Grrrl if I keep focusing on other shit. I'm glad that I've learned to start writing these things down more (and in more detail than I used to, when I thought I was doing it well). I can let them stew, come back to them later. Riot Grrrl is more important.

There are two smaller ideas and one pretty large idea. Two of them could be rolled together (one of the smaller ones could be a string of side-quests in the largest one; this actually wouldn't be a bad plan!), but the third is definitely not compatible with the other two.

This week, my game idea can be summed up in two words. TUCKERS. KOBOLDS.
In glorious ASCII. Oh yeah~

Drawing tutorials? There are loads on the internet.

Golden age entry is coming along. It's been a while since I've made anything in TusK, but, I'm slowly remembering how things work, and realize how used to VX Ace I've become.

Side-note: They probably won't be included in the game, but, as part of the game's development process, I'm listening to a bunch of tunes I picked up from VG Music forever-and-a-half ago. Or, tunes that I picked up from other games forever-and-a-half ago that were obviously picked up from there, but, the game's author changed the names (and didn't quote original source material in any way, shape, or form) because... I dunno, that's how things were done back then?

Anyway, it's like, a super-charge of nostalgia over here.

"How do I create a character that walks around with 3 followers but when you enter battle only the 3 followers fight?"

Is that a serious question? Either way, the answer is a custom encounter system. For example, if you were using my custom random encounter system, you could fiddle with the party set-up before calling combat: http://rpgmaker.net/tutorials/1170/

It really depends what type of encounter system you're using. And if you're using RMXP or RMVX then I'd wager you'd be better off using a script to do this.

Uoh, thanks Sated, although I don't have random encounters in my game so that won't work. I'll probably just try to figure out how to add and remove that member without screwing up the formation.

Staring at the sheer amount of common events and variables and scripts and wondering whether I can pull off this game within 2 weeks

I really want to make another multiplayer game soon! But I need to come up with a design that won't take too much work or intense netcode like client-side prediction, because I am lazy.

With Golden Age of Gammak done, my thoughts have, once again, turned to Myriad Cypher. Though, I did have a few brief thoughts of Oracle of Askigaga, and what direction I want to take it in, only to "nope" it out of my head.

What? Konae's Investigations? Oh. Uh, yeeeeaaaaah, I remember that game! Where the heck did I leave off with that?
