SAILERIUS'S PROFILE

Something happened to me last night when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go. I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky. It was moving irregularly. Suddenly, there was intense light all around. And when I came to, I was home.

What do you think happened to me?

I died once. (Complete Edition Act II+ now available!)

Episode One Update 2: Sound bug fixed!

I updated and I'm still having the sound bug.

Double Standards

Woah woah woah let's all get off our high horses for a second

It'd stupid that we have this strange notion that stealing from one is right, but the other isn't, but that's just the way things are. You can't reasonably say "Ban rips" because that would be deleting 80% of the games on EVERY RM site. If you want people to use custom shit, don't just tell them, show them or something.Maybe just set an example, or make a tutorial on custom graphics/music/etc.
What if, hypothetically, S-E sent a notice demanding that all RM games with materials infringing on their rights had to be removed within 30 days or face legal action? Would that be reasonable? The community would survive. Everyone knows what they're doing is wrong and just laughs it off because it's convenient while simultaneously demanding that no one ever take anything of theirs.

There are tons of tutorials on how to make custom graphics and how to make the RTP look good. The vast majority of RM users will not bother spending the time or effort when they can just use rips because we let them get away with it.

Acting high and mighty about it isn't going to change anything.
What better way is there to enact change than to bring it up in User Feedback?

EDIT: Before I get hit with a straw man for the 30th time, I do not in any way support the stealing of resources made by other RM developers. I assert that art theft is never acceptable under any circumstances, regardless of who is being stolen from.

Stealing from a professional and stealing from a hobbyist are two different things. Yes, theft is theft and you should try not to steal resources, but when comparing the two it's much, MUCH worse to take from someone who does their work for free, for their personal enjoyment.
But being illegal, neither should be allowed at all. That's the true double standard.
all games now require being 100% RTP and Custom graphics for approval
Why is this a laughable notion? Even if it's a difference of a greater of two evils, they're still two evils. It's truly sad how many people in this community insist that art can only be made by stealing from others. The sense of entitlement is pathetic.

Planning to review this. About how long is it?

Haha, thanks, but I think you're giving me a bit too much credit. Still, I'm glad you enjoy the games! You're actually one of the only people to say they enjoyed Act I's difficulty. You'll probably enjoy some of the optional bosses in Act III.
No biggie. :) There are optional bosses in Act III? Cool. I'll definitely try it out. Btw, is there also a hard mode for Act III?

There are many optional bosses in Act III, and yes.

Vacant Sky Vol. 1: Contention

Just be careful about messing with things. It could have unexpected consequences.

Then I also had the bug with the disabled menu after the Kasch quest. I fixed this with a save file editor. Don't forget to fix this in your Complete Edition.
Where can I get this save file editor? Maybe this will come in handy if I get stuck with a bug in the future.

That's the only game-hindering bug in all three acts that I'm aware of.
Oh, I meant for other games. :) It might come in handy even though there are only a few VX/XP games I actually like and am looking forward too.

PS One of those few VX/XP games is Vacant Sky. :) And, will there be a volume 2? If so, I'll really be looking forward to it. It's rare to find a developer as creative as you, who is using the VX/XP Engine. I wish the rest of the developers would follow your example... They should really try this game out before selling bug-infested games with a lot of typos. :(

*Edit - Oh yeah, nearly forgot... I really liked the difficulty on the boss battles in Act I, it makes you think, not just randomly using the best moves in your arsenal.

As for the save editor, I'm not sure, but a quick google search will probably turn it up.
