SALAMIC'S PROFILE

author=Marrend
I'm not sure what's more annoying. The fact that I'm getting tutorials for things I already knew about (MOVEMENT! RUNNING! FIGHTING! TREASURE-HUNTING!), or how slow the text seems to be in relaying that information. It does seem like there's a way to speed up the text, but it's not consistant.

Saying that, the one tutorial I can get behind is the one for timed hits, since that's a non-standard gameplay mechanic. The window of opportunity seems a bit precise on them, but it's definitely a "practice makes perfect" thing to begin with.

Edit: Yeah, I forgot to switch him back to the auto-start because I was doing some testing in that room earlier.

What would you suggest I do? I'm sort of assuming that most people playing this game later on won't be familiar with RPG Maker games. The more basic things like don't necessarily have to be explained, I just kind of like having the whole learning process at the beginning of the game. It kinda sucks since anyone who is familiar with/frequents playing games made with RPG maker will already be familiar with this stuff, but anyone else might sort of need the initial explanation.

As far as the text goes, the script is set to show one character per frame. I don't know if I can make it go any faster, but I'm gonna try and follow you on that one and see what I can do. That way maybe I can satisfy both worlds, and for those who don't want to do the tutorials, they can get through them faster.

My name's Adam, I've posted on here like once in the past and figured it was time I start being more a part of the community. I'm working on a really fun JRPG in ACE (which I just uploaded a demo of recently) and this will hopefully be my first successfully completed game project.

I'm a Lebanese Canadian and I live in Calgary, Alberta. I mention my location just in the case there is anyone close by. I love the arts/videos games. One of my obsessions is telling stories in video game-like formats. These are two examples of my animation work;



Animation I did under a contract for Quickdraw Animation Society, a Calgary based animation company.



Done in 48 hours for a contest.

I've been really looking to get some feedback on my game so far. If any of you are interested, I'd super appreciate it if you could check it out :)

Yeah, I have all the required images (took right from the demo). But, even when I remove them from graphics/system I'm not even getting an error anymore telling me that the graphics are missing. It's really weird, but wether or not they are in there, nothing shows up. The first time I tried it and I was missing a graphic, though, I got an error. But since then, nothing.

And yeah, I put that <Boss Meter HP> along with the other ones in the notes of an monster (Hide HP, and what level the boss is) just to see if it was perhaps that they all needed to be there. It's like the script just isn't function for some reason. Even in a new project it just does nothing no matter what I do.

Did it work for you? I can record a video of myself going through the process and link it here just in case I'm making some kind of error. But I don't think I'm missing anything :S
