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

[Poll] Should the Linux and Windows builds of a game be in one download archive?

My games have Linux and Windows builds available for download. All of them, except one, have both builds in a single zip archive. Rome Protector is my only game where the Linux build and Windows build are in separated archives (so the Windows archive could fit into 1.44 BM for an event).

What do you think is the most convenient ?
A single archive containing the 2 builds ?
2 separated archives containing 1 build each ?

How much lore should you find in a university library ?

Early in one of my games, which has a minimalist intro, I want to give the player access to a university library. And, to convey the feeling of being in a university library, I think it should contain a lot of books describing the world, including lore non-relevant for the story to come. But this idea conflicts the following:
1) Most RPG players read ALL the books and might get overwhelmed.
2) The story relevant lore will be told later bit by bit as it becomes relevant for the story.
3) If you play any of my games, you'll notice that I favor building game mechanic over game narrative. Lore writing isn't my strongest skill.

So, how much lore do you expect to find in a university library to make you FEEL you are in a university library ?

2021 Misao random vote

I voted for the Misao via the front page at leads to the survey form. For most of the categories, I chose my favorite game from the ones I knew or had played from the list. For a few categories I didn't know any of the games listed so leaving a blank vote seemed to be the best option to not bias the vote results. Unfortunately, the form requires to pick one answer for every category, forcing me to pick a game at random. If it's all possible, could we add to each game list an option "Don't vote for this category" ?

goto Die;

Common programming wisdom recommends using the "goto" statement sparingly. Consequently I very rarely use it and thus I had to check its syntax. So I ran a search on my old projects with the "goto" keyword. This is the result I got :

goto Die;

I laugh so hard because it's probably the only case such answer is actually helpful !

Easy image scrolling

When we look at game images in the Images section of its game page, it would be nice if we could scroll images by pressing keyboard arrows (left and right). This feature would complement, not replace, the existing "mouse click the green arrows".

your game idea is too big

Here is a simple tool to check if your game idea is too big !

Main or homepage image

In the image tab of a gamepage, as a developer, we can give the following settings to an image:

* Use as main image
* Use as a homepage image


What do each setting do? What's the difference between them?

Download identification improvement

This is a proposal to improve download identification.

When a developer uploads a game download file, he/she would select one or several operating system check boxes (Windows, Linux, ...) to indicates which operating system(s) the download supports.

When a user search for games, the "Download available" box would be replaced by several boxes "Windows download available", "Linux download available", ...

This would make it easy for players to find downloads that runs on their operating system.
