I CAN'T NOT MAKE GAMES.

I have enough lockerspace to hold an episode of Friends.

"We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!

Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify
(or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause CLOWNS MUST STAND."

As the only human awake on board a space station controlled by an insane AI with delusions of deification, you must unravel the mystery of your own identity and discover: "What is the Iron Gaia?"

Question about the Random Screenshot

NOW I KNOW THE SEKRIT.

rate the above person's signiture

Hillarious. 7/10. Would be more if I had any idea what the image on the right was from.

Music in an RPG Maker game

In the past (when i was praised for my sound design etc.) I used music that was from commerical video games that were like my project in some way; since I don't make video games that are at all like Final Fantasy games, this doesn't put me in danger of commiting the squaresoft sin.

Release Something! Day IV: Discussion Thread!

You just gotta put your name and game out there.
Well, I was a "big deal"/"major player" (lol) under another name, but that name got so much bad press I had to take two years off from the c'munity and do a reputation reboot.

Since I joined here, I think I've been fairly shrewd/dedicated in my promotion of Mage Duel, so I doubt very much that it's that. (Even though I joined recently, I'm one of the most active dudes on these forums, and my sig has been in every post, likewise my topic has a very respectable amount of views for an individual game out of all the games that are out there in our very own Game Discussion & Releases topic.)

I always assumed the low download count was simply because of the incredibly large number of releases vying for peoples' attention.

No, I think Azn kindly pinpointed the real major difference....

His game was featured on http://www.indiegames.com/ .

Yeah, it's probably THIS more than any other factor. That is fantastic luck. Does anyone know how to go about having this happen to you? PM is an acceptable response format for this open ended question, of course.

I would play Mage Duel but I do not have RMVX or anything!

It's easy and free to download the VX RTP/trial. Anyway, if this is going to be a major issue for people, I'll have to work out the problems I'm having with including the RTP before the full release.

ADDENDUM: ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE IS MEANT TOWARDS BOBTHEBOBISH OR HIS GAME IN THIS OR THE PREVIOUS POST, I AM OBVIOUSLY JUST JEALOUSE.

Release Something! Day IV: Discussion Thread!

I was confused about having nearly 500 downloads and limited comments.


WHAAAT? 500? IN THE LAST WEEK!?

B-b-but Mage Duel only has like, less than 40 downloads. :'(

Possibilities...
*You are also counting downloads from somewhere else besides RMN?
*Your project going up on the site database earlier, i.e. 9/07, made a big difference?
*You have a huge fan following I didn't know about?
*Everyone hates RMVX?
*Everybody really loves the pre-retro?
Mage Duel Sucks

i need help with blood

Your help posts need to be more specific.

Include the type of resource you need- animation? chipset? I'm ASSUMING character set- and the maker you're using, at the very least.

Music in an RPG Maker game

I was also going to say, as an addendum to the "NOT EVERYONE IS A COMPOSER" bit, that some of us who are lucky have someone talented like Brandon Abley (or someone) take an interest in their game and throw them a bone by making a few tracks, and when that happens, it is quite nice.

I remembered this when he posted in this topic just now.

Music in an RPG Maker game

Original music is one of those things, like custom graphics, that are a nice perk, but something I recognize that most people can't have original music because they're NOT COMPOSERS like most people can't have custom graphics cause they're NOT ARTISTS, so it's not, for instance, something I'd ever take points off for not having in a review.

There is so much good public-domain and little used rips, however, that I see no reason anyone should ever have to resort to the "Squaresoft Sin".

What are you thinking about right now?

Well I "partied hard" this weekend, so all the alcohol and drugs might be the reason for all the stomach pain and the absence from mIRC both.

Also, I am WAY too active on these forums. I am going to go do something now, for real
