What are you thinking about right now?
In completely unrelated news, we are doomed.
But hey, its all of us, so I guess the upside to irreversible climate change is that some people I secretly wish were dead are going to die.

Holy shit I feel like devving, this is good!
Today I'll begin and likely finish both the Act 2: End of Stage 1 and End of Stage 2 cinematics, it's common practice to bring my notepad with me where ever I go, so they are already storyboarded, and all of Stage 2 is already mapped out.

author=Ratty524I might do that purely so I own the RTP on a legal level, even though essentially it's free to download, if it's 8 dollars or something fuck it I may as well even if I never use the program.author=zeelloIf you aren't slow you could get it off Steam for less than 10 bucks. XP is worth it, imo.
I could get xp but it doesn't look great, I prefer how games look in vxa. (Not mentioning the time and money I've already spent on vxa which I guess doesn't count as a reason)
author=zeelloP.S. I'm loving the look of this game so far, these sorts of characters are just the kind of charming bastards I could see using myself.
Albert and Bacon
Really need to do something about all those stray pixels on the outlines though.

It's definitely possible in VX Ace, and if you like working in VX Ace for gods sake don't go back to XP. If you have some money to throw around, there's the Luna Engine which-- if I'm correct, can be used commercially upon purchase, however you may need to buy a license, which going by typical fare, would be even more grossly expensive.
If you're doing non-commercial, then just look around for scripts that do it... I'm sure they exist, and if you don't want to use that script, you can always either strip it down and be sure to credit the author, or if you're savvy enough, build your own from the ground up.
@Allchains: I might be slapped around for this suggestion, but since you have an issue with making deserts that aren't notoriously square, I'd recommend digging into some of the VX Ace sample maps and seeing how they do it, "Mine Entrance" is a particularly handy example.
I feel like doing work today, yay!

author=LockeZReminds me of a very old image of mine based on porcine turbulence.
Oh it's like the underwear witches anime except they're not in their underwear
Zeello's game needs that pig to be a flying planepig, wearing underwear that's colored like the British flag, with double-decker plane wings strapped to its back and fighter jet engines attached to its haunches, and its curly tail spinning like a propeller. You can't convince me I'm wrong.

I regret nothing.

Probably the bags under my eyes...
I don't get much sleep. :0
Maybe the slight facial hair on my upper lip is doing something, making it think I'm a bearded lady or something, lmao.

author=CashmereCatI'm definitely going to talk with my artists about it. The upgrade graphically is certainly worth it, you're right in that I do still have a lot to learn as an artist, and with the window of opportunity narrowing, I shall probably let Xiie or somebody be the retoucher of all the faces. heck, The Warth'og graphic is touched up from my own work.
@Bizarre_MonkeyThe new portrait is a lot better. Not that your drawings are terrible, but that portrait is really nice. This makes me think that if you get an artist to retouch your graphics after you've finished the game, then it could give your game that extra edge. I get the feeling your strength is in creating a quirky atmosphere, filling it with imaginative characters and interesting dialogue, and crafting interesting gameplay systems around them. I wouldn't say drawing is your strong suit - the proportions of your drawings tend to look a little wonky at times - but the imagination spark and the hard work required to craft an entire world from scratch is there. I'm sure a graphical artist would find it easier to retouch your graphics because they already have a template to base it off.


author=CashmereCatWhenever the sprites take actions the dialogue isn't happening in 97% of scenarios. Also if it does get intrusive it's not as if I can't scale the portraits down some.
@Sated: I believe it depends. I think it doesn't really matter if you can't see their sprites if you can see their faces, especially if you get the general gist of what the scene is like first, and then the portraits fade in. I think if the sprites aren't moving, you don't have to see them.

author=CorfaisusNo, surprisingly!
You're a curious specimen, broseph. Has anyone ever told you you have an androgynous charm about you?
I've been told by several people I could "downright pass as a girl" though. My friend Amy, my friend Xiie (who's admitted being jealous of my hair), my friend Basil, my friend Lukas, and a couple people I know on a mutual basis on HBgames.org, as well.
Can't say I disagree.
Hell, I've unwittingly fooled an entire clothing superstore into thinking I'm a woman, while wearing only the most masculine clothes I have.
I didn't even know until one of the staff asked her friend to assist this "Little lady".
I decided to save us all an awkward situation, and just rolled with it.
