ANARYU'S PROFILE

I can't see why you would get the idea it would be RPGMaker only. I'm pretty sure it's not.

Because some of the prizes are sponsored by RMW. : )

I voted on the poll, but I'm against event games existing. They always suck so bad. You can't make a game in a month. Or, at least, someone who's only working in their free time can't make a game worth playing in a month.

I wonder if we could do something else besides games for the event. Like, a single battle. Or a cut scene.

Almost every game I've created was for an event - they may not be the next super-graphics-eye-candy-hit or 30-hour epic, but you can pack a lot of gameplay in if you know how to schedule things, and it gives people a chance to to experiment with new ideas and gameplay, so I think they're worthwhile. Also it gives the community a boost of activity.

I voted for Other and want a Open Theme just centered on something Halloween or spooky or ghostly or something. Having at least 3 themes to choose from wouldn't be too bad either.

This game is amazing, good work! I just wanted you to know that I have a youtube channel where I spotlight RPG Maker Games. I recently spotlighted Skye if you want to check it out :) Hope you like it.

Holy cow this was awesome! I can't believe I didn't notice this one before (probably opened the update in a new window but forgot to look or something.)

Thanks so much for the review and glad you enjoyed it. : )

Too Short.

Agreed!

That's a really hard question to answer.

Would I like to complete this game? Yes. It's perhaps my favorite.

So why haven't we?
1. RPG Maker XP is old and painful to work in - I liked the map editor, but a lot of other parts were really annoying and frankly I don't know if I have my keys for it anymore : )

2. We boxed ourselves in! The last puzzle I came up with was my favorite (the mine and the battle) and I got stuck for months building the next big puzzle and realizing I wasn't making anything fun or challenging, just tedious. The artist kept hitting a brick wall when trying to get a unified style for the characters we both liked too. There are like 6 or more revisions for the faces and we weren't happy with the last either.

3. Other projects have become a higher priority. I like the story best in this game to be honest, but we're in the middle of another major project which is taking all our time and is a ton of work. I'd like to remake Cast Aside some day, but it's going to be a long time in coming.

TL/DR - The short answer is: No, we're probably not going to finish this. And that makes us very sad.

Well, someone already posted basic word-wrap code that measures the size of the current TextMesh and can tell when it extends past the dialogue box, it won't be too hard to automate it and it'll be a lot more reliable than trying to measure it myself.

The one thing I do want to do is expand the string editor in the Inspector to a box instead of a single line, which will involve some Editor code but probably isn't too complex.

Making a custom editor in Unity is actually a LOT easier than you might think. I built a basic event system for handling things like dialogue, it's worth the effort!
