It takes a strong, noble human being to participate in an idealist political system.

Unfortunately, humans are much more prone to being selfish, petty, manipulative, deceitful, lazy, greedy and antipathetic. Simply because those are much easier ways to get ahead in life.

Until such an unlikely day that humanity has advanced enough that we would all be selfless, there's a need for politics to anticipate the worst in humanity. I gladly dream of such a day myself, but humanity has a daunting journey ahead of itself to mature.

Of course, a little strife is still good. Spice of life.

I don't foresee this "dream" coming true for a long time. And I don't mean we have a ways to go to realize our way out of trouble, but that we are working at this point in time to actually increase these aspects within our communities. We are creating ways to help us be more manipulative, lazy, greedy, etc.

We are working on being a more efficient civilization, but what does that lead to? Efficiency gives us more product in less time. Greed? Less time means less work. Laziness? Robots to do the work, but then mad that all the jobs are being done by robots. Petty? If that "dream" is to ever come true, it will get a lot worse before it ever gets better.

Someone mentioned Star Trek. Well, in Star Trek they have no monetary system. The only way I see that we will no longer have a need for money is if we have everything done for us, and given to us. IE, robots do all the farming, processing, building, etc, leaving us to do nothing but reap the rewards of our hard earned laziness. To get there, robots and computers will have to slowly take over all of our jobs, but there will be a tough spot where we are still using money, but robots are taking over half our jobs, meaning only a select few would actually still be "making" money, while the rest live in "slums" supported by robots. Even at that point, there will obviously be social status' that dictate how things are run, and that will be controlled by those with money, who will not want to give up their social status so easily.

We have a long way to go before we reach that "perfect" society.

And, btw, I'm a realist.

Actually, I think I see it. It's the loop you have. If the mob is dead, it sets B to ON, but if it doesn't die, it goes back to the top. You don't allow the process to end so the player can "move". Basically, you are reducing the players HP constantly. Remove the "else" condition at the end. If Enemy1HP == 0, then B is ON. Period...no Else.

Also, you might want to add an If PlayerHP == 0, then End Game. No Else.

Ok, here's the edit. Had to split up the ice crack, but don't even know if I'll use it.



Can you make a spring one? maybe like a mix between the fall and summer. Kind of a green that's not as bright as the summer one?

These are nice. Can I edit these? Mainly the winter one. It has pieces jump around from the other two. This could turn a log or stump into a rock or bush when I use the Change Map Tileset.

If someone could please help me, I'm looking for a different chipset for each season in a forest format.

Here are examples of them in a town format from Harvest Moon...


I want this kind of thing for a forest scene. If possible, looking for water to be ice in the winter. I'm mostly wanting to keep the X,Y aspect of the tile sets so that everything is in the same place on all four maps. My goal is to have it so a variable will tell the map which chipset to use, and just use the Change Map Tileset command to alter the map based on what season it is.

My game is currently has "lively" graphics such as the bright and colorful graphics you'd find in Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana, etc, and I was kinda hoping to keep that look and feel. Also, I will probably be asking for a total of 12 chipsets (4 forest, 4 town, 4 world), but am only asking for the forest right now as that is going to be the starting part of my game. Even though that's alot (and I know it's a bit much), I'm hoping that since they are all the same scenes, that just changing the seasonal look won't be too hard. If it is, then maybe I will just use the town from Harvest Moon, and I can get around the world tiles. But the forest is kinda a need. :(

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out on this.
