IROG'S PROFILE

Hi all !

I like 16-bits RPGs (especially action RPGs) where you feel the quest behind the lines of code. I also like strategy, puzzle solving, immersive stories, tabletop RPG and LARP.

I'm a hobbyist C programmer who likes to work on custom game mechanics. My very first project was a very basic map generator for Genesia, aka Ultimate Domain https://rpgmaker.net/users/Irog/locker/UltimateDomainWorld.zip

I also want to help developers polishing their projects with my player feedback. So I'll be happy to test your game !

See you around,
Irog

I am super-psyched with how this event shaped up and played out! You all seemed to have great fun and I had a lot of fun running it and chirping from the sidelines.

Maybe we can do something like this again next year.

Yes, it was fun to build a game that looks like the golden era of 2k3. And make the best use those 320 by 240 pixels ! I'll sign up for a similar event next year !

Back From the Tavern

Could you run a quick test for me ? I would like to know if the issue depends on the additional libraries I used. Simply try to play
1) Pong10H
2) Rome Protector
Which ones run ? What error messages do you get ?

What was the error message you got when trying Back From the Tavern ?

everybody's entries is unplayable for me in Windows 11

Glitch 2k3 badge for everyone who submitted a download !

EasyRPG might help you: it can run RM 2k and 2k3 games. Games that don't have patches run smoothly. For games that have patches, the patches might get ignored.

For my game, you can run the Linux version because Windows 10 and 11 can run Linux apps using WSL. The Linux version of the game was compiled for Ubuntu. WSL comes with Ubuntu by default, so you can give it a try. Let me know how it goes.

They Walk Among Us

My vote is on 2k3 because the games are easy to play in Linux.

Apparently my game is unplayable in Windows 11... Does that means I get the new Glitch 2k3 badge ?

Back From the Tavern

The game was compiled on WindowsXP 32-bits and ran there but I don't know how to compile it for other versions.

However, I learned that Windows 10 and 11 can run Linux apps using WSL. The Linux version of the game was compiled for Ubuntu. WSL comes with Ubuntu by default, so you can give it a try. Let me know how it goes.

stuff: my 1st projet Review

1. During the dragon fight, the dog portrait appears right below the dragon and the fight seems to have no other actor on screen... As my first attempt ended so abruptly I assumed I was the dragon. On my second playtrough I noticed I was dealing damage to the dragon but decided to keep the funniest interpretation of dog-inside-a-dragon's body for the review.

2. Faye saying he's in pain makes sens now. But there is no way a player will understand it in-game because you can only visualize your status before and after the PowerUp+Heal. There is no way to visualize Faye's status after the PowerUp but before the Heal.

3. Indeed, separating PowerUp from Heal would explain the origin of the pain.

5. The first fullscreen toggle made me think I did something wrong in EasyRPG. When your game did it again I realized it was intentional. Using uncommon features is always tricky (as I tried in Red Balloon of Happiness). You made a good choice by toggling twice so the player knows it's intentional.

6. Actually, you gave it away even before I downloaded your game ;-) Your first post on your game page ask which end a player got. This immediately tells everyone that there is at least another ending. But I only started to interact with every tile after I got a Game Over.

7. I'm not sure I found it

8. The blue swirl made me think of a teleporter. Probably because most games use it as a teleporter. The player doesn't know how many map files you used. For practical or technical reasons, you've chosen the one map solution; which is good. I made a game that also uses a single map to give the illusion of visiting several rooms. Yes, the player's view on your game differs from your developer view and it also differs from the technical file structure of the game.


I think RPG Tsukuru 2003 exports the game as a single zip archive containing RPG_RT.exe, RPG_RT.ini, the maps and all the game folders. Whereas RPG MAKER 2003 exports the game as a lzh archive. Then RPG MAKER 2003 joins the lzh archive with a Window$ installer into a zip archive. To run the game with EasyRPG, you first need to unpack the lzh archive using 7Zip. I don't know anything about encrypted game files but it will very likely make your game unplayable with EasyRPG.

I'm glad reading my review made you feel good. As your game is a parody, I intentionally wrote a review with some humor.

Cut down trees

Thanks for offering your help.

I managed to get this feature working (including killing soldier that are too close when one swings the ax)

If you update your download with a file that has the same name and the same description, then the existing link will point to your new download. That's my preferred way to update a download because it avoids confusing potential payers with multiples links (and it saves server storage space). If an event doesn't use it own storage but requires a gamepage and a download link, you can update your download after you submitted it for the event. Usually, event organizers download all the games soon after the event end to prevent the post-event updates to affect badge attributions.
