The Do's and Don'ts of Mapping Part 1

I think this is a little too general, among other things, but I'd really like to point out that this



is hideous.

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

"The theme of this contest is to make an inn, shop, pub, or house of some sort. This does not necessarily mean the map must be an indoor map. Be creative, maybe you can have a hobo's homestead outside! "

Hero's Sword

If you still want to play the game, btw, WolfCoder, there are a million copies of it for download if you google it and it's not a big file(like 500kb I think).

EDIT: actually, looking at the file size, this isn't independent, and it uses the add-on RTP which you have to buy. Yeah, nevermind then.

I can't even get it to run. Not all of us have VX you know, it is important to create self-contained games.



As a game developer the download should contain ALL the necessary materials to one click install the game on a fresh install. If you cannot guarantee this, then the first screen I should see when I click on the EXE is one that tells me things I would need to have already installed for this game to work.

Even Python apps, as extremely annoying as I find them, tell me where to go in order to install Python and what to do.
It's a common mistake to include the RTP and forget that .dll, since there's no indication that you need it. The creator of this game just needs to do a system search for that file and copy+paste it into the game folder, but unless you try it on a computer without the RTP, it's not apparent that you need anything else for the game to run then the graphic/sound files.

Too f**king close.

I back up every day I work on my game.

Haven't you had other crashes during this project? :x

A Psychological Inquiry - The difference between submission and selflessness

You could use a bit of discretion and tip them more...

I live in Australia so I get out of this tipping stuff. :D

PS3 vs 360

I'm not really a console person. It's too hard to get the TV, and I don't like having the game blaring out throughout the house. I'm more of a handheld person myself(my computer sucks).

The 'Like' Button

This comes under the "things every site should have if they can be bothered making it" category, I think. There's been a lot of discussion about thumbs up/thumbs down for games, but it's the kind of thing that's a good idea for any sort of submission(although, perhaps for the forums it would be a better idea to just have thumbs-up, like suggested here).

YEM

If you're using any system but the basic turn-based, poison will only work if you put an expiry condition on it. It'll also only happen every few "clock ticks" rather than every time you attack(but that part's intended). BEM isn't without its flaws...

This is called the "Legionwood Tactic" ;-)
Is it? How cute.
I don't think this is a widespread term in any way, shape or form.
