BIZARREMONKEY'S PROFILE

Thinking of how my coders and I can utilize RPGMV to make PFC's gameplay as solid as possible. The inclusion of mouse support is the biggest thing buzzing, I'm hopeful that the mouse-wheel will be able to be used to scroll through weapons on the fly. 'shoot' will likely be mapped to left click, shadow dash to right click, and then W, A, S, D will be used for movement, while the left/right arrow keys can be used for powerup switching.
we can have q for lockstrafe, and shift can stay as the dash key.

Using powerup could be middle mouse click if that's supported like it should be.

I've been thinking of scriptings/plugins we could develop to most utilize the new mouse features of MV, such as some weapon types like grenade (Think the Zodiac), actually jump to (move route based on player x/y versus mousepointer dest x/y) land on the designated square clicked. The Bomb Glove, a new weapon type inspired by Pep's redesign, would be a rolling weapon, basically moves forward and explodes after a short time. Thinking of having weapons that you can also follow the mouse, maybe an ideal design for the Chakram weapons (Like Recusant's Glaive) instead of being random death storms.

The change to Javascipt is something I'm very optimistic about, mostly because it's geared towards gaming, where as Ruby is most commonly geared towards applications and extensions. I know why they used ruby, which is to say, it's a japanese programming language, but I can see why they'd jump to javascript.

Looking forward to work with a larger resolution, and being able to expand on the current systems. Heavily considered things are:

Weapons that level up, from V1-V5. I've already got a basic idea of how to event this in my head and to optimize it. Despite the amount it may be optimized, beyond what VX Ace / VX is, I still want to do my best to make it as friendly as possible.

Also making some large changes to sound design, the Shotgun is a bit too grating to use often, and I want to add a reload sound after it's shot. Wanna also make it more 'bursty' and less slow. Think like the blast cannons in Ratchet and Clank.

What my team and I have been discussing is telegraphs, we have these to a good degree already. But ultimately the desired effect is to have them actively showing where you'll shoot whenever it's applicable. Not just after you've shot. For this it's likely we will use scripts to draw transparent color overlays over tiles of effect.

I'm also going to see if I can get a toolshed script, in other words, in one map have all the weapons, powerups and info stored, and then just pull from that in any other map they are called upon, this should make maps less laggy and my job as an eventer much, MUCH easier. Instead of having to copy down every map and then having to copy paste an event whenever a big change is made, now I could simply update them in the Toolshed and only have to do that once.

I'm hoping the picture limit will be raised, I though 100 would be more than enough but when you have a hud, quick selects, powerup bars, boss huds, parallaxes, overlays and error messages that have to pop up, you begin to realize those run out pretty quickly.

That said I artificially limited myself to having only 50 which I easily could have corrected due to needing some showable below events, such as some levers where I wanted a scrolling parallax and a level below events / characters. Or when I want complex stage mechanics, such as Saxxis' boss fight where the centre ledge collapses in phase two. Thinking now I could easily get away with only have 90-100 pictures that show below events.

Eitherway, MV has renewed my enthusiasm for RPGmak

Just some school stuff in Unity.

It looks really good but believe me it wouldn't run well in a game.

This weekend I'm going to change my set up so that My bed and PS3 are no longer at odds, and then, I can play all the remaining Ratchet and Clanks, then finally marathon Kingdom Hearts.

Will recommend Undertale.

It's on Steam and is worth it's price a millionfold. By far the most charming and well detailed and intuitive RPG I've ever played.

I finally drew my Member XII alias in HD, so that's what I'm using now.
