^^^ I wasn't going to bring that up... so I'm glad you did. I've worked on sever projects where people disappear after 2 weeks. In fact one person I made 20+ maps for. Poof.

but now I realize that I've gotta include two gimmicks to make it pop and be less generic.

(i'm mocking you)
I'm 70% sure he was actually being sarcastic and mocking me (and also 70% sure the object you're standing on is a cake), so I don't think he minds. You can both mock me though, but I still think it works. If you combine two or more generic things, the result is less generic.

A trainyard that's also a graveyard is more interesting than one or the other; a cathedral that's also the site of a meteor landing is more interesting than one or the other; a treasure-filled cave that's also the ruins of a prehistoric fortress is more interesting than one or the other; an ancient ruined city that's also an outpost for researchers is more interesting than one or the other.

You're 70% wrong. I was being honest, but I guess that can come off as sarcastic. Thank you for your tips, and they're probably for the best. As for Craze. Thanks for being Craze.

No way your feedback was constructive, it was rude and ignorant.

Only this topic has that sort of snobbery I'd say.

Perhaps have pros and cons.

EpiQuest 2

Nope I'm not. Its funny I wanted to test out the battle system before releasing this, so I made a little demo and that demo got a bad review, then I spent months improving that game instead of this game. In hindsight I regret posting that other game here and not some other place without a scarring review system.

How sleazy is Enterbrain?

How sleazy are RPG Maker game makers to have kick starter projects? How sleazy are game makers to have kick starter when they could just have Game Stop pre-orders?

You can make the caves less boring by putting things in them.

And I don't mean, like, moss and mushrooms and mining picks. I mean things that matter. Ruins of a dwarven city, or a fountain that's the source of the world's magic energy, or a room filled with torture devices and with walls covered in blood, or an opening that leads to the netherworld, or a tower that sunk into a fissure in the earth and fell on its side, or an orcish army that's set up a bunch of tents in the caves and created an underground war camp. Or all of the above, in one area.

Not only is the Cave of Genericness a boring zone that does nothing to enhance your game's story and theme, but seriously, if it's just a dumb normal mineshaft, why are the heroes even visiting it?

On the other hand, I know and admit that filler areas are totally way easier to create, and sometimes you just want to make a dungeon without having to make an experience.


So more dwarves in my mine and more ... flying bird society in my tower?

I was just thinking about putting wandering enemies in the cave and pacing axe guards in the tower, but now I realize that I've gotta include two gimmicks to make it pop and be less generic.

If you need grammar and spell checking, just write your dialog in a word document :-) Then copy and paste into events.

Script Writers Needed

Sure I'll PM you, but what is the overall story about? Who are the characters? It might help to just establish character what would this guy do in a typical situation. THen throw that person into a more difficult situation. Writing should flow easier then.

I'm super busy and I always have time. :-) In fact this is my only sanity reliever from working at 7 am - 2 am sometimes. Sure I take an hour long break here and there, but if I step away from the computer I'll fall asleep.

edit: Sorry that probably was inappropriate for me to write .
