What can you do with squares? (VX RTP Mapping Contest)

The map has a very nice look to it, but there are some practical issues.
The fireplace looks out of place. Hey that rhymes!
Primarily because I don't see a chimney or outlet. Your old blacksmith will have coughing fits :P There's also the curtains and shied fixed above the water. How did those get there?
The map looks quite good to look at, especially the stream and the wall. But from a practical point of view, the above two points stand out.
EDIT: Also what Scourge says. He beat me to it.

Great improvement. If you can eliminate the tile-patterned look of the ground, it would look even better.

For future reference, to increase VM, right-click on My Computer and select the Advanced tab. Under Performance select Settings. In the window which appears select the Advanced tab. Under Virtual Memory select Change. The option selected should be "System managed size" change it to "Custom size" and enter Minimum size and Maximum Size, based on information provided at the bottom.

These directions are for WinXP. Shouldn't be very different from those for newer OS.

There must be a common event or script that's causing the lag. If its a common event then replace it with a script. If its a script, you'll have to replace it with a more effective one. Try increasing virtual memory, but I doubt it would help. Too many events also cause lag.

Well, actually I wanted to call it "The King's Speech", that's a film name so I just called it "Ze King's Speech" (or maybe "De King's Speech"). Yeah, it does sound weird though.
Believe it or not I haven't played much of FF (Just FF1 on gameboy and a little of FF3). So rather than making the skill first (based on a skill I liked while playing a game - a lot of people do this I think), I make up the name first, then I play around with skill effects that are related to the name, and when I think I've made something useful, I note it down.
And nah, I'm not offended. Must be my avatar :P I was just being straightforward.

Yes. The names may be funny but these are part of a list of skills I am making which I will use if I ever make a game.

They aren't silly just because the names are, and I am not trying to make a joke out of the topic.

The second skill is actually inspired from a skill in Diablo 2. It creates a creeper which consumes corpses to replenish health. How about this?

Sacrifice-
If enemy is a mini-boss, this move allows the party to flee from the battle after 5 turns. During these 5 turns, the enemy does not attack and the heroes curse themselves. At the end of 5 turns, the player's party flees. Technique normally used in desperation.

Absorb-
75% chance of morphing the last enemy standing into a corpse when the heroes deal the killing blow. The player's party can replenish 28% health per turn. After 2 turns the corpse decomposes and the battle ends with the player recieving the required exp and gold. Good if heroes are on low health.

I presented the basic idea. Modifications can be made as best suited.

Ze King's Speech-
If enemy is a King (Lich King, Treant King etc. in other words, a mini boss), this move encourages the enemy to start a long, boring speech lasting 5 turns, during which the enemy does not attack. During these 5 turns, the heroes have a 100% chance of cursing themselves. At the end of 5 turns, the player's party flees. Technique normally used in desparation.

All's well that ends well-
75% chance of morphing the last enemy standing into a single well when the heroes deal the killing blow. The player's party can replenish 28% health per turn. After 2 turns the well collapses and the battle ends with the player recieving the required exp and gold. Good if heroes are on low health.

Its not a bug. F12 is the restart button for all RPG Maker games.

What's your job ?

If I made/played games as a job, I don't think I would enjoy making/playing games as much as a hobby... as strange as that sounds.


It makes sense, though. There will be certain restrictions as to what games one should make/play for money. When its a hobby, you can make/play as and when you want to without any restrictions.
