Please change the battle ATB to "Wait" instead of "Active"; don't be a hero.
Seriously though, most Rm2k3 game should have a disclaimer to change battle system to "wait" as soon as the game starts. (no, I think we can't change it to "wait" in game making mode... not sure).
Sure, "Active" = you can proceed to murder the shit outta the same enemy in succession (wait until everyone's bar full and unleash full attack at the same time or whatever); but in strategy based game, "Wait" is a much better choice.
Yeah, I admit you have to be a bit savvy with how Rm2k3 status and battle system (including its flaws and loopholes) to ace (some of) the battles in the first try. Mostly about knowing exactly what the spells actually do in battle (ex. increase defense against magic shield thing is pretty good, haste is as usual overpowered) - and which to buy as well as which skill is better than the other (speed). But it is still beatable without that knowledge and this is pretty neat to show what the battle system can do.
Well, take it as an example of a custom system showcase, it is a sample game showing the capability of Rm2k3 after all.
This is an understatement imo.
Second, the game truly proves that the RM2k3 battle system wasn't really designed for methodical combat, because as you are so carefully deciding what your next move against a foe is going to be, you are giving the monsters free hits on you. What's worse is that it seems that all monsters have a similar agility stat to one another, which means most of them attack at the same time, and if they randomly decide to gang on an individual party member, that member will take TONS of damage to the point of being an insta-kill.

This particularly hurts when you encounter that blue skull-crab thing that's capable of wiping everyone else in a matter of seconds. The silencing scroll doesn't work consistently enough to be reliable, and the thing has a multi-hit spell AND attacks from its cohorts to spike up its damage. I'm at least glad that losing the battle doesn't result in a game-over, but then you have to replay the entire section again, and when all that happens is that you are repeatedly dying to a cheap boss, the game just wears on your nerves real fast.

I also don't understand why EXP and levels exists in this game considering the battles you face are pre-determined and focus more on using the right combination of abilities at a time. Not a big problem with this game, but it's inclusion is kind of needless.

To give this game some credit, though... The graphics were nice?

RMN Snews - Issue #23
Late for bandwagon.
1. What is your personal TODO list?
Finish a project. For Real. I keep wasting time and all that, being not so productive. I need to finally graduate to become a legit gaem maker damnit.
2. How many other RM or dev communities are you active in?
Just RMN really, I have skype but mostly with the McBacon game team members. Haven't been in IRC for the longest time (I prefer skype these days)
3. What is your current role at RMN?
Lurker, always been. I am trying to get more involved though; if i can.
4. Are you satisfied with your current participation on RMN?
No, not really. I decided to get back to RM scene this January with full vigor and wanted to start some kind of daily art/sprite thing like the ones in ol' GW (I remember it was pretty fun) and maybe inspire a few here and there. I had quite a bit of free time then, but life decided to give me a level up, so it had been pretty rough.
I felt bad at kinda abandoning my daily (heh) art topic, but it is getting increasingly difficult to keep up; tiring work saps a lot of motivation (also excuses).
5. Do you feel you are empowered to accomplish what you want to accomplish?
Gotta keep at it, I resolved to finish/make something this year.
6. What are you expecting from me?
The usual, keep managing RMN, keeping it afloat so I/the rest of the member can have a place to hang out when we want to do some Gaem making. And keep cracking jokes.
7. What aspects of RMN are you disatisfied with or concerned about?
It's been pretty smooth so no complaints. I like how you maintain friendly communication with the members (also new members in welcome sub forum).
The article itself is nice since you keep us informed about the state of RMN (also your worries/resolution). I like this method as even though it is quite informal but it works pretty well in this laid back forum and better than keeping it all on yourself.
8. If you were running RMN, what would you do? Who would you recruit to help you?
I know little of the members and the ones I get along with are usually oldies with similar (full) time work schedule. I... don't think it will work.
But you should hire me, I always want to ban people for no reason. I'll make the rest of you look good in comparison!
Just kidding, I am terrible at management.
9. How long do you think you will be with RMN (in any capacity)?
Probably as long as it is around. I come to visit time to time to see new stuff.
10. Is there anything you wish to say?
Thanks for going through with name change request.

So I decided to draw something today, and I got a blackout.
Oh well, not that the full anatomy picture turned out good. Here's something finished/unfinished instead.

As much as you try to out crazy landsknecht, their original clothing/armor depiction is still more crazy imo. As wikipedia put it:
Maximilian I exempted them from the prevalent sumptuary laws as an acknowledgement of their "...short and brutish" lives. Doublets (German: Wams), deliberately slashed at the front, back and sleeves with shirts and other wear pulled through to form puffs of different-colored fabric, so-called puffed and slashed; particoloured hose (or Gesses); jerkins (German: Lederwams); ever-broader flat beret-type hats (German: Tellerbarrets) with tall feathers; and broad flat shoes, made them bodies of men that could not be mistaken.
I suppose that can be taken that they are so expendable, no one bothered to impose a dress code on them. Also, that description. look at iiit.
How do I know this? Etrian Odyssey had the class, but lack the flamboyant-ness.
Then again, a CLOWN KNIGHT WITH FIREBALL does sound like a great idea to me.

ENTRY 32ND : HOW DO YOU LEVEL SKETCHES?
That scar looks kinda wacky here, but yes, that is a scar. I made a mistake and darken it.
Phone-cam quality because I don- can't make time to digitally redraw this.
Face practice for a project yadda yadda, hopefully I can do a full body shot next time.
Somehow I feel the eyes I draw looks similar with one another - which kinda vexes me since I used to practice to draw different types of eyes daily in the past (it was during school/class, but that counts right?).
Maybe the eyebrows are the ones to blame.
EDIT
I just realised them faces reminded me of the guys from the other project. But they aren't.
I blame lack of practice/art sense.
