DARKEN'S PROFILE

Unity* i hate you

*: the game engine

https://www.rmteka.pl/maniacs-patch-wont-bite-you-1-basic-feature-changes/ pretty good overview and guide on it

got 5 minutes of intro done, man cutscenes are so time consuming. Noticed some problems with Easy RPG Player like some midis not playing, or show pictures being scaled differently. Can be fixed with a few workarounds but feels like its 99% there when it comes to converting existing projects as they were.

I did my first one back in 2011? I think? I did a local game jam and actually worked directly with other people. This lead into other projects with said people. I've still been doing the annual Global Game Jam at a local site ever since. Internet game jams aren't really the same, and having to interact with people for 48 hours with the same levels of commitment is way different than just some back and forths on discord, idk it's more fun in person. I've done solo online ones a bit later just to learn how to program stuff. But I think the most valuable skill is just FINISHING and knowing how to bookend stuff.

Anyone can pump hours and hours and polish to the 100th degree. It's really not that impressive because of course you're going to have attention to detail when you have hundreds of hours. Copious amounts of time isn't even the greatest of solutions. What's crazier to me is being able to compartmentalize and be like "OK this is what the game actually boils down to" and just cut out the stuff that doesn't really matter. So I recommend actually doing it some time. 1 month or 48 hours isnt really that big of a distraction and it can get you out of a rut sometimes especially if you're learning new things.

It's appropriate the first utility for 2k3 is fixing the damn fonts

For real content, the most I've done is play around with eventing to play around with ship vehicles (now a giant mermaid), inspired by Ozzy's tank vehicle stuff above:

that is sick, are those VIP RPG resources?

i'm making maps based on my memory of the first projects i ever "started"


back before I even knew how switches worked. will probably lead to a terrible game though, but I think I know a way to spin it.
