[Business] Need advice on good and fair rewards.

I've never ran or contributed to a KS campaign, but your rewards seem mostly practical and fair. I'm unsure about the postcard and portait thing, if they're going to be unique sketches/creations for each contributor you could get overwhelmed if your campaign is super successful.

Considering how unique and cool your game's character is, I bet people would love him on a T-shirt! It also turns people into walking billboards!

Just make the game you want, but be aware we're not living in the same nostalgic and happy days of the early 2000s. :(


Back then I remember RTP being socially outlawed, you were more likely to see mack style or 100% ripped visuals. It seems like people are okay with RTP now and even encourage it.

What's the community's consensus on edits? I've been playing around with editing sprites from Super Mario World. They don't look like Mario anymore, but people should be able to recognise the style.

[RMVX ACE] Help Moving Pictures and "Scroll With Map" Function.

That has some cool stuff in it, and some awesome scripts to pull ideas from, but I didn't see anything that would help this specific issue.

However I did get a little closer with this.

if @picture.name.include?("arrow")
$game_variables = $game_map.display_x #probe value of display_x
$game_variables = $game_map.display_y #probe value of display_y
if ($game_map.display_x > 0) && ($game_map.display_x < 11)
self.x = @picture.x + ($game_map.events.screen_x) - ($game_player.screen_x)
end
if if ($game_map.display_y > 0) && ($game_map.display_y < 9)
self.y = @picture.y + ($game_map.events.screen_y) - ($game_player.screen_y)
end


It uses an event as a reference and modifies the picture's xy relative to the player's distance from the arrow's initial starting point. It still causes some wonky little issues at the points where the map will begin to scroll, the image will jerky around. I feel like there has to be an easier and more effective way.

[RM2k3] Show Picture on map coordinates.

I would use a parallel process and capture the X & Y Coordinates of the Castle's Event, modify the Y variable by -8 to -16 to 'lift' the castle off the ground/bottom of the grid (you can also set up a type of loop to oscillate the y variable to give the castle an 'up and down' floaty appearance), then tell a picture to appear at those coordinates. Using variable's associated with the event's location rather than a constant allows flexibility if you want to move the castle later, you wont have to go in and reset the coordinates.

[RMVX ACE] Help Moving Pictures and "Scroll With Map" Function.

I'm new to RPG Maker VX Ace, I'm starting to understand how scripting works, but I'm not yet familiar with all the different possible 'calls'. I'm currently experimenting with building an action game using Khan's Pixel Movement Script, and Cidiomar Collision Detection. While most of the features are coming along pretty well, I've run into a issue using a picture as an arrow to attack enemies. Rm2k3 featured a simple checkbox which made a picture "scroll with the map", it appears to be absent in VX Ace. While there are a couple solutions out there for people who want to fix a static image to the map, I'm trying to have the arrow fly out from the player and move across the game world. The issue appears while the screen scrolls for maps larger than 17 x 13, the picture's movement fails to compensate for player's movement around a map, and the result is an aesthetic blunder.


Here you can see the problem at work. The arrow follows the player up into the bridge when it should be 3 tiles below.


Here you can see the little bit of progress I made, the picture scrolls with the map, but fails to sync with the player's coordinates.

Below is my attempt at modifying the script used for fixing static images to the map.
