ARCHEIA_NESSIAH'S PROFILE

Music is not there for the character to hear, but for the player to know the character's mental and emotional state. But unlike with the pain and the physical effort of game characters, experiencing their internal thoughts and feelings by the player is often the intended result. That's the immersion.

Will there ever be a successor for MUGEN?

I know of Mugen, pretty hard to use.
There is Fighter MAker etc. I'm not sure if there'll be a successor anytime soon :(

Game Production Companies

Mostly, indie game makers just make a brand, an example would be Team Shanghai Alice, despite its name there's only one person (and he made 13 complete games). So yeah...

Question

author=Sam link=topic=2532.msg50314#msg50314 date=1228996437
2003 is a fantastic starting point, problem is, no one ever seems to move on from it.
I know I'm still stuck to 2k3, even if I dabble with XP and VX from time to time

Yeah, this is true.
Once you get used to rm2k3, you find it hard to move on specially with scripting

What makes a good dialogue?

It always bugged me, I try to avoid it but somehow I can't, I'm trying to be careful but I can't 'see' what I'm 'fighting'. So can someone clarify this to me? I don't get bothered by dialogue that much so I don't know too many things about it.

I know avoid |33t language and cellphone short cuts like that :P

I got some notes, it seems like I was able to make my dialogues natural there's just some anime-only responses, haha

Verisimilitude
- it means it should sound real, like real people are saying the lines and not like someone is writing them. But in special instances you can get away with being a little more poetic. If it's a special scene it can make the dialogue better even if it's only 90% believable instead of 100%

And you should always try to minimize exposition as much as possible, like if you have to explain a lot of stuff to the audience through two characters talking, try to disguise the conversation as something else as much as you can, like it is a regular conversation, but the information the audience needs to know is in there somewhere.

A great example will be FF8, it has a good example of people speaking naturally in a game in a modern context.

RM RPGs...you have beaten

Maybe I need to replay it @_@
I can barely remember stuff :P

Recommendation Topic

For some reason I thought of Memoirs of Geisha

Crystal wings was cancelled, not sure WHY but I think it was team not going well or something. I updated the list, will add more if I remember some old games which is unlikely. Oh crap Eternal souls! I forgot going to add now.
