JUDE'S PROFILE

A majestic fine art piece of work

Yeah, even though she basically shat on the site, called it a big joke, then rage-quit only three weeks ago. Yeah, she's a real classy gal.

Any respect I had left for you YDS is gone now.

I don't disagree, but maybe we should all be willing to move past that event. You're not helping right now. Also, we're hijacking her game page.

Hey, welcome back.

I used the nail bat for awhile. Screw magic when you can just Deathblow with that weapon over and over.

Every monster I add is a monster I have to create. You can say "just add a black slime," but I already have a black slime later on... this means I have to create another monster for the later portion of the game. It is easy to say "add more monsters" when you don't have to consider a time budget.

Dude you can have more than one monster that looks like a black slime. Have you heard of palette swaps? I realize palette swaps aren't ideal, and sacrifice a little bit of artistic integrity. But if you don't have time to make it look better, then at least make it play better, instead of doing neither.

I went back through a few areas in my game recently and added more monsters for variety. It took about 5 minutes per monster. That includes the time spent to create the few new skills they used (I reused some existing animations). It is not a difficult process.

You apparently missed the point. That black slime is a palette swap. So is the red slime and the green slime and the yellow slime. Unless you want every zone to have a slime, knight, owl, and tiger you will have to accept a limited number of enemies per zone.

It doesn't take five minutes to create a new monster. A new monster requires a new sprite which takes 20-45 minutes. It must be evented to fill out the three monster slots which is another five minutes. It must be given behavior and added to the behavior routing event which is another 5-45 minutes depending on what needs to be created and if there are unique properties. Stats tuning only takes about five minutes to choose and event. I need to create pictures for the monster names and add them to the name display event, which is another couple of minutes. Incidentally, this is still quicker than creating a new monster group for the DBS and copy/pasting/editing a hundred battle events.

This time adds up very quickly when you're often only working on a game for a few hours each weekend. Your expectations are unreasonable.

Bahamut, because I fly and spit nuclear explosions.
