SHOOBINATOR'S PROFILE

I am into just about every genre of game really. My brother and I grew up dabbling in RM2k3 on occasion to the point where hearing the RTP soundtrack brings a wave of nostalgia, so I'm most familiar with that engine as far as RPGMaker goes.

Check out my game I'm working on!

Great-Great-Grandguy Goes Grasshopping Review

Awesome. I appreciate the review and you giving the game a full playthrough! I may explore similar ideas and expand on this in future projects.

The official English 2k3 version is out!

I've been away from the community for some time now... Any word on DynRPG/patch support for English RM2k3?

The MP cost of a skill is an attribute available to mess with in DynRPG, so in theory, yes, you could do whatever you want to MP cost. The tricky part would be changing the MP cost of skills specifically for just one battler when their turn comes up, as I imagine you'd want to do this based on status conditions or equipment or whatnot. It might be doable by looking at the ATB values at the end of each battler's turn, predicting which battler will be having a turn next, and modifying MP costs according to that battler. That might not play nice with other plugins that alter how the ATB system works, though, and I can imagine other difficulties like status conditions such as Paralyze messing with the prediction. I've already got a plugin idea I'm currently working on, so I'm not going to take on such a project myself right now.

The Increased Evasion thing sounds even more difficult offhand, there's not much you can do to mess with RM2K3's internal combat calculations using DynRPG.


You could try something like what I'm doing in my game where if you have a certain condition, you spend a normal amount of MP on a skill as usual when you use it but right afterwards, you also get a "refund" of a certain % of the MP used.

Can we use Super Mario Maker as our engine? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh, the FAQ says otherwise.

This quote sounds wordy or sounds like you set yourself up for something that almost sounded cool but came out underwhelming.

Maybe try: "...so now only you must do the watching."

@bulmabriefs144,

PepsiOtaku and I were testing his ATB Overhaul plugin some time long ago, since I had found specific bugs with it. Pepsi was able to fix most of them, but at that time, I wasn't able to continue testing the latest update to double check the fixed issues as well as look for any others.

Anyways, the changes we (and by we, I mean Pepsi, but I helped test stuff :)) made to the plugin are on Pepsi's github which I've linked here.

This fixes most, if not all, of the issues we encountered and it might be more helpful as a starting point for whatever extra features you were trying to add to the ATB Overhaul plugin.

Cheers!

[RMVX ACE] i'm making a zelda game!

Write down all the reasons why the Legend of Zelda was good, and then use that as inspiration and a foundation for making your own original game. It doesn't even have to be a game of the same genre too.

If you're doing this more for coding practice, remake something simpler from scratch like Pong or Tetris.

If you still want to make a "fan game", don't call it Zelda, and don't go to extensive lengths to make it look exactly like the original Zelda either. If you go to all the trouble of coding the whole thing and adding worthwhile twists or game mechanics that live up to the original, would you still want it to look like it belongs to another developer (i.e. Nintendo)?

Edit: I don't mean to bash fan games. There are a lot of great ones. But to make a successful fan game, the developer has to truly know why the source material was so great in the first place.

If you are new to game development or haven't made games before, I would recommend to not start with a full-blown fan game and instead go for something smaller/simpler first. This will save you a lot of time in the future as you will learn a lot from the first project(s) you finish, knowledge/wisdom which you can then use to make something bigger!

How do you tackle making a game with any engine?

Plan your gameplay first and foremost, then create an outline for a plot (if applicable), keeping in mind what themes and narrative you are going for. Narrative should be developed in parallel with gameplay ideally, with neither one as a forethought, in order to maximize cohesiveness and flow.
