[GUESSING GAME] Secret Santa Sign-ups 2018

I'll bite. Esgeddit bois

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

This week's tasks have mostly been finalizing the design of the second level, which takes place in a forest. It's mostly character and exploration focused, which is all good and dandy, but I've also been struggling with it for nearly a year.

For whatever reason, it's a lot harder to design than the other levels which are more modern and have more of an... "obvious" theme to it, story wise.

Oh, and sending out tons of emails. I recently went to a convention so I've been following up with the people I met there.

What was the worst/funniest/most memorable moment you've had while someone else was playing your game?

Mine happened pretty recently. I had a few friends over for a live playtest session, the first one I had in awhile. They were playing the first hour of the game, and on THE VERY FIRST ENEMY, they got one-shotted instantly.

What had happened was that I buffed the normal attack skill right beforehand, but forgot that enemies used that same skill as well... hence, instant one-shot. Had to stop the session for a bit to fix things, but after that it was mostly fine.

...yeah, don't go changing stats ten minutes before a live test, kids.

Another classic example was when Archeia played one of my games for a contest years ago, and due to the weird pixel movement system I used, she couldn't get into the next area and quit the game. Probably one of the more embarassing moments of my RM career. I can't find the video of it anymore, but in retrospect it was pretty hilarious.

What are some of your stories? It can be anything from friends playing it live, streamers, etc.

What are your favorite and least favorite parts of gam mak?

Favorite: Level design/mapping, I absolutely love creating new areas. It's almost like being an architect or interior designer. (except I completely lack those skills in real life) I also love writing, eventing (when I'm fully in the zone) and just implementing playable stuff in general.

Least Favorite: Balancing can go fuck itself. Databasing is a close second, but at least with that I can be a bit more creative. But balancing? All a numbers game. And I'm balls at math, so, go figure.

@Esby - Love it. The colors, the map design... so simple, yet so elegant. Great work!

@Blind - I like it, but I agree with what everyone else is saying - the lighting is slightly overdone. Tone it done a bit and you're golden.

Finished the teaser trailer for my game. Thoughts?

@narcodis - Beautiful work. Can't wait to see what you've got in store.

@Frogge - All that in two days? Damn... I really need to get off my ass. Good stuff! I love how atmospheric your maps are.

Some recent screenshots from my game (which desperately needs its game page updated oops)

It's good to be back!

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!

It's good to be back!

Hey guys!

My name is Lorenze, but I used to go by Avvy (or MirokuOsami on other sites). For those of you who don't know or remember me, I've been using RM for about six years now, and I've completed about 10 and worked on about 50 (unfinished) more.

After a long hiatus, I've finally returned to the site with my newest game She Dreams Elsewhere.

I'm really excited to procrastinate even more get back into the community and meet even more people!
