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.

Hit-the-high-ad-spots-contest! Get a copy of VXAce!

Missed your chance into winning a copy of RMVXAce? RPGMakerWeb has a new contest to give you another chance! Make a trailer of your game that is around 1:50~ and have a chance to win! You can see the post here:

http://blog.rpgmakerweb.com/announcements/hit-the-high-ad-spots-contest/

Just a heads up on the Hit the (High) Ad Spots contest. The deadline is being changed to 11:59pm EST (GMT-5:00) on Thursday, January 26th. Thank you.

Missed your chance to win a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace in our Let’s Make a Scene competition? Well here is your chance to try again.

This is a special contest though because not only is it a contest, its a try out! RPG Maker VX Ace needs a new promo video, for obvious reasons (seriously go back one blog post and try to watch that thing all the way through), so we are looking to you the fans to find the person to make one.

So how are we going to make this selection? With a contest.

What do you get out of it? A free copy of RPG Maker VX Ace + early release.

What are your responsibilities if you win? Create a new promo video for RPG Maker VX Ace using your new free copy.

So what’s this contest about? Trailers. Video game trailers to be exact. Here are the rules:

Produce a ~1:30 second ad spot for your game and upload it to Youtube. Email the link to the trailer to community@rpgmakerweb.com with the title line of “Hit the High (Ad) Spots Entry”.
The trailer is to be for an RPG Maker XP or RPG Maker VX project.
The trailer may not contain any resource that you do not have the rights to use.
The trailer may be for a project you have made in the past, are in the process of making now, are going to make in the future, or even a project you never intend to make at all.
The trailer can have already been made before the contest began, just make sure that it obeys all the other rules.
All entries must be emailed by 11:59 PM January 22nd EST (GMT-5).
Need some tips? I asked a friend of mine who happens to be a film student and this was his advice:

-Show, don’t tell: A trailer is PURELY VISUAL so there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to back-up your claims
-Make sure it has good flow: You never want some JARRING TRAILER that is just hard to watch
-Style: Since all RM games generally look the same you need something to differentiate your trailer from everyone elses. That’s where style comes in.
Good luck to everyone and I’m looking forward to all the entries. The winner will be determined by a panel of Judges consisting of one member put forth by each of the following fan communities: RPGMakerVX.net, RPGMakerVXAce.net, RPGMaker.net, and RPGRevolution.com.

Get RMVXAce for Free~

The folks over at rpgmakerweb.com are holding a contest in which users of XP and VX submit a 3-5 minute long cutscene. Submissions will be voted upon by fans, and the winner will receive a spot in the English RPG Maker VX Ace beta. This will grant the winner early access to Ace in English, as well as being offered a free full copy once it is released! For more information, you can click here. Submissions must be turned in by January 3rd at 11:59PM EST.

Good luck!

~From Esrever

or for those super lazy people:


Here are the rules:

Make a single cutscene using either RPG Maker VX or RPG Maker XP.
The cutscene should be between 3 and 5 minutes long.
The cutscene should be an original scene from an original story.
The cutscene can be at any point within a larger story.
The cutscene should be understandable without seeing the larger story.
The cutscene can use any special features you wish for it, just properly credit for them (graphics/scripts/etc.)
The cutscene should not have battles or other portions with player control with the exception of button presses to continue messages if you use them.
Simulated battles with no player input are fine.
The cutscene should be compressed as an RM game WITHOUT encryption. I want to be able to see how you did everything. I should be able to start the game, hit new game, and watch a cutscene.
Do NOT include RTP when you compress your cutscene. Try to keep your file size as small as possible. Remove any resources not used in the cutscene.
One submission per person.
All Entries should be emailed to community@rpgmakerweb.com with the title “Let’s Make a Scene Entry” before January 3rd 11:59PM EST. The file will need to be uploaded to file sharing site such as mediafire and the link sent in the email. (please for my sanity stay away from the upload sites with three billion ads and a likelihood of infecting my computer).
Judges will determine the top 8 entries, based on visual composition, writing, musical feel, and overall cohesiveness, which will be voted on by you, the fans, between January 5th and January 7th. The winner will be announced on January 8th.

The winner will receive: RPG Maker VX Ace + Early Release.

Internet Blacklisting, Save the Internet!

I heard america has this Internet Blacklist Legislation to the point even mozilla put in their front page about going against it. They said Your favorite websites both inside and outside the US could be blocked based on an infringement claim and stuff like that.

author=kentona


So does that mean TPB would be blocked in the USA? A talk in the IRC:
<@kentona> not even TPB
<@kentona> YOUTUBE could be banned
<Yuu> oh god yes
<Clyve> That's true.
<@kentona> because it contains content that infringes on media rights
<Nemo> like, a tonne of it
<@kentona> RMN could be banned
<Nemo> but there's always VEVO
<Nemo> ;)
<@kentona> Facebook could be banned
<Clyve> Memebase...
<@kentona> basically any site that allows users to post content
<@kentona> so...basically THE INTERNET
<@kentona> so yeah
<Clyve> Yeah, fuck those anus chews.
<@kentona> most everyone is against it except for media execs in the usa

So like yeah. I thought I should let you guys know about it too~
Everyone in twitter is tweeting about it.

RM Tutorials

Does anyone remember this site? http://rmt.divinelegy.com/

If it doesn't work (and eventually confirming my fears): http://web.archive.org/web/20091015042557/http://rmt.divinelegy.com/

It was a huge pool of RM2k3 tutorials and I usually give it out for newbies to learn new stuff but...

It's gone now D:

I only managed to save a few things, but has anyone else saved some stuff from this site (the templates mostly)? I thought it's a great loss since there were a lot of good things in that site :C

Premade System/Menu Packs ?

Okay, I'm trying to make some money for college and I can't afford books or whatever with just commission money--because it's very shaky on my side. And another reason is because of time issues and that I'm a full time student. This in turn makes it very hard for me to have time to find a decent work here in the Philippines where it does NOT require me to be a college graduate or spend so many hours for little pay.

SO! I wanted to ask if would anyone be interested in buying a menu system with custom graphics for their game(s).

  • If you're interested in buying a menu system with custom graphics for your VX games.
    We will also do battle systems and deal with compatibilities. This could be a special commission for your game only or buy a pre-made pack we already made for bidding/license/whatever. Input would be really nice. If many are interested, I was thinking of making it a one time sale only, like for example, bidding or using a license? That price includes the code, so that does drive up the price a bit, something around 40-60 for the special commissioned ones? We will also do battle systems and deal with compatibilities.

    Showcase:



    Charge:
    $40-60 for the special commissioned ones. It might get higher depending on the complexity of course.
    Premade ones are for bidding I guess?

Mr. Takashi Tokita is visiting us!

Ok I don't know where to put this but straight to the point.

Do you have anything to ask to FF1~4 and Chrono Trigger's Director? We will meet him (Mr Tokita) in this tuesday he's going to Agate (that's also lucid's headquarter) at 9:30 - 1 pm at August 9, 2011 (Tuesday, GMT+8)to share some stuffs, he'll give lectures in 3 different academies and anyway if you guys have any questions reply here and we'll list them in blah blah and please be serious since it's a rare opportunity <:3c

Here's one example:

1.<Neophyte> ask him what he thinks about small teams and if he had a choice would he rather work with a small group of individuals or big time companies.

Anyway there's that.

RPGMaker Issues

I was wondering if anyone has the same experience as I did for this one. I suddenly had this power blackout and my pc didn't hibernate properly. But it was well, the thing is, my rpgmaker(s) suddenly stopped playing mp3 music files but here's what's weird:

One time I was playing an old game of mine in 2k3, it uses mp3s and works fine, but when I tried to play it in the BGM player from 2k3, it stopped playing. And when I played the game again, it suddenly screamed not implemented. I also reinstalled 2k3.

And I noticed the same thing happened to RMVX as well, so weird. I'm using Klite Codec. Some mp3s play fine tho.

Another issue I have is that copy pasting words from my ms word causes VX not to print the message. Even if it's just a one liner sentence. I even tried posting it in notepad and browser preview for whatever reason but it just won't work. And yet, copy pasting from this site: http://www.lipsum.com/feed/html works well. RPGMAKER I DON'T GET YOU.

I found out the problem for this one after 15 minutes of trying it out and posting here and one last attempt. Quotation Marks <_<

=

Has anyone ever had this problem?

I don't know where else to post but I thought I'll ask here :P

Last Saturday, I was called over by my auntie to work help her with the preparations for her son's b-day party. And well, we were supposed to sleep at 1:30 am after taking a break and watching a movie but I stayed up all day with an energy drink around working on database stuff (don't ask.)

Then at 6 am I went ahead and grabbed this energy drink called "V" and cooked, whenever I get sleepy I drink from that can again. I think around 4x then after everything is prepared, I went to sleep for like the entire afternoon, missng the birthday song and stuff.

Afterwards, this is where it got...weird...

I constantly found myself sleeping and yawning. Like I went to sleep at 11 pm then wake up 10 am and a few hrs later , usually 2-3 hrs ish, I'm sleepy again and when I fight against it I yawn excessively and then collapse later on and wake up at 2-3 pm. This has been happening for like half a week now, yesterday I managed to stay up late because of school bullying issues then slept early and woke up at 10 am. Again I'm very sleepy today, I checked the internet and I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

So yeah I was wondering if you guys also had this issue and how you deal with it, I tried sleeping more just in case it's a jet lag or something but it didn't work. This is the first time and it's hard to concentrate or get any work done being sleepy+heat ._.;

Need more art topics <____<;

I noticed that there's not enough art topics here, what happened? D:

Here:


And I leave *flies off*

If you have a chance to have another RTP...

This has been bugging my mind but if there's ever going to be a new RTP presented by Enterbrain or someone or by something, what kind resources would you like to have this time and for what maker? Would you like it to have some proper tracks for it or will you just rush and get the commercialized of freeware ones?

To be honest, I'd like to see more steampunk or modern tiles and graphics since they feel lacking haha.
But what do the others think?
