Character Skill Trees
Episode 3 is up! This episode features Mel the Elementalist, and how with her skill trees she can clear an entire field of enemies in a single blow, or turn even a simple non-elemental weapon into something very powerful indeed!
Game Jams and Events - Your Experience
So I've seen several events and game jams come and go, and have yet to participate in one through to completion. The most I've done is start a project and never actually follow through and finish anything. My mindset around them previously has been "well I'm already working on a big project, this would just be a distraction," or "yeah but I prefer quality over quantity, so I'd end up missing the deadline anyway." And yet, most developers I know will say you should absolutely participate in these types of events, as it really stretches your abilities as a developer, helps you feel like a part of the community, and gives you experience working with deadlines.
So, my question to the community is, what's been your personal experience doing events and game jams? I'm looking more for perspective from people who've actually followed through on them, but anyone is welcome to chime in. What did you learn from them? Would you recommend them to someone who's never done them, and if so, why? Did you find that they distracted you from your larger projects, and if so, was that a bad thing? What are maybe some things to consider going into one that most people don't think about?

Can we all just... chill out?
I need to gam mak
Hola!
That's actually a great way to learn a game engine, because it gives you something tangible to try and learn, and you'll retain much more by applying it in a way you understand, rather than simply following tutorials step by step. Mark Brown talks about that in his channel GMTK on YouTube, where he talks about how he learned Unity.
And honestly, if you keep with that pattern, you may find a unique blend of mechanics that work out to be a great project. That's what happened with the game I'm working on now. It started with just an idea, "I wonder if I could make a random rarity based loot system in RMVX," and that snowballed into something way bigger than I could have imagined when I first started. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing some of your creativity!

Hoping this is still underway! Haven't seen you around much. Hope life is well and game dev is still something you're wanting to work on.
Character Skill Trees
Rather than make a whole new media page for every single episode, I'm just going to post a reply to this page with each new episode. That may change if I end up with way too many episodes and a massive load time for this page, but here it is for now.
Anyway, here's the next episode featuring Lionel's skill trees! Lionel is a Crusader, and while having some excellent abilities that increase his damage, he actually can become the best team support in the game!

How to make an unpopular RPG Maker game (real)
Don't let being a garbage human being with no redeeming qualities hold you back. I mean, look what I've accomplished!
Hey, now. You're not a garbage man. You're a garbage person.
No I'm not being gender neutral.
I'm saying you're garbage.
You're welcome.

I sorry, RPG Maker Web. Can I come back? (It's been 3 years)
author=KrimsonKattThat's kind of the issue, honestly. When it comes to personal problems, sharing that stuff publicly is not only inappropriate, but can be dangerous. There's stuff that I share with friends and family that I don't share with strangers. There's stuff I don't even share with my best friends. Venting about personal issues and life problems is not what public forums are for, that's what therapy is for. The problem isn't knowing where to share your problems, it's feeling the need to have the world see them. If someone cannot help you with a problem, it doesn't do anyone any good to share it with them. Talk to a professional about that stuff, or find a private confidential support group. Please, for your own sake and safety, don't post or blog about your personal life in a public setting where people could use it against you.
I do want to write a blog to vent about random stuff, the only problem is that no one would ever see it
