Killing People, Falling In Love, And Saving The World...at 17???

I do remember reading somewhere that most squires start at an early age. So I guess from a narrative perspective, especially in medieval type fantasy games having teenage heroes isn't so out of the ordinary.

I mean, take a look at Berserk, throughout the Golden Age Arc Guts is supposed to be about 16 (even though he sounds and looks older, but that could be because of the hardships he faced throughout his life until that moment.)

[RMMV] [RMVX ACE] Okay, Let's Have This Discussion: Sample Maps

I don't really have much to add to this, but I just want it known that I LOVE Dark City.

But seriously, I do kind of take umbrage with someone using the sample maps on VX, cobbling together a half-arsed story, and then selling it on steam, even it's for under a quid it's still an insult to the consumer. Using the maps as place holders until you can make your own is viable, as long as later down the line you don't decide 'fuck it I'll just use them'.

Personally, my use for the sample maps, and what I thought they were for was sort of an aid in making maps, load them, look at them, tweak them if need be and eventually learn from them to make your own maps.

What age range are the characters in your games?

Though I make games, at my heart I'm a writer. And looking over all my notes and story ideas I've written down over the years one thing I've noticed is that the ages of my main characters has increased over the years. When I first started writing, all my main characters were spunky teenagers, but as I've gotten older I've grown to favour the old jaded veteran archetype.

And it got me thinking: What age range for your main characters do you prefer, and why?

I didn't want to say anything as I didn't want to come across as a twat. But the text is troublesome to read. What makes it worse, at least in my opinion is the transparent message box.

It looks really good. I really like the colour scheme, it's very pleasing to the eye.

but I do hope you fill some of it on the actual skill selection menu with some text explaining what those skills each do before you purchase them!


You know, that never occurred to me. Thanks for the idea.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

I think it's Yandere. I replayed FF8 sometime last year and honestly didn't pay attention to anything anyone said. Do you have any other examples or Selphie's disturbing behaviour?

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

I've not got all monks. But Ramza and a generic are both monks with another generic as a samurai, they're my main damage dealers. I've been training up Agrias and Mustadio. I have a black mage and one white mage who come in useful only very rarely and are really only used for when I want to cast Flare or Holy, and instead of White Mages I have chemists, throwing items doesn't take any additional turns. All my units have auto potion and have reasonably high bravery so battles aren't that much of a chore. I find the battles with FFT are either ridiculously easy, or ridiculously hard, there seems to be no middle ground. The only thing that's really keeping me invested is the story. Oh, and recruiting Balthier, he was my favourite character in FF12.

EDIT: Ok, why I say the story is the only thing keeping me invested, while this is true. I must say however that I find Ramza to be perhaps one of the most boring protagonists ever. And while I understand Delita has to be off doing his own thing he is by far the more interesting of the two.

So I've toned down the saturation the colours a bit, which one is better?

This one?


Or this one?
