BEN_RANDOM'S PROFILE

I'm Ben_Random. I've been around since 2008 but I didn't really get active here since Super RMN Bros. 2. That, an unfinished game, and a couple of contests sums up what I've done with game making on this site. I find that my main purpose here is writing. I have a few tutorials out there, as well as some reviews on Mario fan games such as RMN Bros. or Mario V.S. the Moon Base.

Now with the internet the way it is these days, you can probably use just this information to stalk me.

Is it still lagging?


I haven't tested it on a laptop in a while. It may be an eventing problem. I guess I'll just have to find someones laptop again to find out.

5,000 downloads!

One of these days I have to get someone skilled with making videos to make some for my games, and paste them on the youtubes. (I suck at it and make terrible quality videos).


Brickroad. The real one.

WHOAMG TWO SENTENCE BLOG POST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Sorry about the lag problem, I wish I could help but alas, I don't have VX. I should ask, though: are you dead set on not using scripts for this game? It seems like you really want to get it out there and if converting to a script would solve the lag problem, I dunno... I think you should do that.

I'm sure the community members here can help you with it.

It's a shame that Amaranth's Anti-Lag script doesn't help you. If there were no graphical glitches from configuring it within a smaller area, I think you'd be totally set with it. :(


I am not opposed to using a couple of scripts to make the game functional, I just don't want to use a "PacMan" script that will make the game for me.

Major Lag Issue :(

Your maps might be too big with too many events, try splitting your maps up. The way I used to do it when I had a big map was take the map, copy and paste it, then delete one half of one map, then the other half of the other map then link them both up and etc.

*EDIT*
Also you might be able to submit this into the forums under "Help & Requests". Just don't mention that it's about your game make it about the VX engine in general.

*2nd EDIT*
Haha never mind, I see you have already done that.
The map is 20x25. Not to big, but how would I "Split it Up?"
Well if your map is that small then chances are it's not the map that is the problem. Again I would copy your game file and keep experimenting with removing scripts and events on your back-up game until you find what is slowing it down. Keep in mind that common events can slow down a game also.


I know that scripts can't be the problem, (given I have none), and the map size isn't the problem either.
This means that the problem lies in the events. There is one on almost every tile on the map. What I'm looking for is something that will decrease the lag, while still giving me the ability to place the events.

Does anyone have any recommendations for music? I am looking for some that's a little electronic, but not to loud or annoying. It's going to go in "The Mother Board", where the player spends most of his//her time, so I don't want it to be bad.
I always found good music at ultima island

http://uirpg.com/

But for some reason it's not working at the moment...

In the mean time you should go here it has music from anime and games so there is a WHOLE LOT to choose from.

http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/view-all

*edit*
When you go to that site you should start off by searching for games that might have music you're looking for, mainly from other rpgs such as Suikoden, Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Fire Emblem etc.

Hope this helped.


Thanks Ravenite.

00:01 - 00:11 was perfect for opening

Music for the first town and big city fit well, however I thought the music for the arcade should have been a little less happy and more... creepy. It just seems like it would fit the mood of seeing the abandoned arcade for the first time.


I agree, I think I will do Dungeon4. (From VX RTP)
