An Old Challenger... Slinks Back

Ah, hello! I remember all of you. Except you, Mugford - did you used to go by a different name?

Hmm, I quite liked the look of a lot of the things the Meridian Dance lot were working on, a shame I can't seem to find them anymore. What was their IRC channel, again? I might drop in there at some point.

An Old Challenger... Slinks Back

Hello, rpgmakernet!

I used to come here a lot, a couple of years ago. I posted every now and again, and spent much too long on a pretty rough-around-the-edges demo of a game called Notes on the Second Mellynd War (got mixed reviews - I paid a lot of attention to the writing, but not much to anything else (I’ve started (loosely) making a much better version, but I definitely can’t say how much time I’ll get to spend on it.)) I’ve actually just finished a short game, Notes on the Edgosian Crisis, that I got very very close to completing a few years ago, before real life took over – I really got out of the habit of game-making, partly because I got a lot of other hobbies quite suddenly, and partly because, uh, ‘compelling personal reasons’ meant I didn’t really feel like it. But all being well, I’ll hopefully release it tomorrow (I’ll probably make the gamepage public later today).

Anyway, if you weren’t around when I was: Hello! I’m very into PSX- and SNES-era jRPGs, and quite knowledgeable on the ‘classic’ RPG Maker games. I definitely favour 2K/2K3 over any of the newer engines, anyway – the hobby’s almost entirely a nostalgia thing for me, and I have difficulty getting into any of the recent ones, hah. But, yeah: what’s going down these days? Any big news? Are many people from around 2011 still about? Are many people still using 2K/2K3? Where did Meridian Dance go?

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to take this down. Uh, sorted now, thanks!

RMXP Map Extractor...?

Apologies in advance for vagueness.

There's a program for 2K/2K3 that converts the entirety of a map into an image file to save time screenshotting different areas and sticking them together, isn't there? This sounds familiar. I'm fairly sure this exists, right? Well, assuming it does, is there something that functions like that for RMXP? I can't seem to find anything, but just thought I'd double-check here before I start doing it manually. Thanks!

What the hell did you/do you wanna be?

Right now I'm Yellow Magic but I have a feeling that in a few years I might well be Max McGee... (also as it happens I've recently begun considering teaching somewhere down the line but, uh, good points) Generalising a little here, but both cases seem moderately on the money nonetheless! I try not to think too much about life after graduation, anyway (luckily that's three years away (when it was originally supposed to be a fortnight ago (go me)))

edit: perhaps kind of strange for someone who never posts to post in the 'tell us all about yourself' topic but what the hey, this kind of thing has been on my mind in the past couple of weeks. DEAL WITH IT

UPDATE 4: Release Forthcoming

Woah, cool. Really looking forward to seeing how this has turned out!

hiding post history?

Well, if they are stalking you on here, now that you've made this topic and they've shat a brick you probably don't have to worry about this specific case much anymore...! But yeah, I get that's not really the issue here.

In general, I'm actually in favour of the option to turn them off too. I would be a lot less reluctant to link RL friends my games/certain topics if it didn't mean they could then find every dumb post I'd made in the last x years! Having the choice would be nice.

Son.

edit: by which, I mean 'this game is very pretty'.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

author=SmileWithStyle
I am currently playing Divine Divinity, which I find somewhat similar to Nox, although I like DD a lot more and actually want to move forward (even though the starter catacombs are HARD)


Haha I played that yeeeears ago and found that part really hard and, being a young kid, emailed the company to ask them for help. IIRC the person who wrote back said something along the lines of "yeah we shouldn't have put such a hard bit at the start, dunno what we were thinking, soz". Just so you know!

The game got a lot better once you got out of the first town and then IMHO quite a lot better than that once you got to Verdistis (sp).
