What are you thinking about? (game development edition)

My original outline for the first half / disc of the story for my Lunar inspired game was going to be: investigate a suspicious character going around main/starting city, go into sewers fight mysterious figure once, chase after him into wilderness, meet first one or two party members, fight him again, follow him to another location, meet other two party members, pursue him to evil castle and find out he is an evil god (scripted defeat), he kidnaps romantic interest- starting companion, then the heroes regroup and the second and third act start on the second half.

Those are the broad strokes and main points of the first half of the story.

What are you thinking about? (game development edition)

I've been thinking about trying to get back onto my Lunar inspired JRPG idea again due to the quarantine and being shut in for so long, and here is the latest thought I've had as far as part of the core concept for the story:

author=The Giant Hand
Like in Princess Maker 1, the story begins with a demon army attacking the kingdom, led by Lucifon the Prince of Darkness. Lucifon was sent by the Deities to punish the people of a medieval city for their sinful ways.

A wandering Swordsman  sneaks into the camp one night and defeats Lucifon in hand-to-hand combat. He and his armies retreat. The grateful King invites you to stay and grants you an annual salary of 500 gold pieces.

Then, one night, the Swordsman hears a voice and goes out to see a girl floating in an orb of light. He is then spoken to by the girl's patron deity who asks him to raise her. How he raises her will determine if mankind has truly repented.


The inspiration for my "Luna" character in my game. The original idea was that she would be sent into the human world to see if they deserved a second chance and that an evil god (I think I was going with a version/form of Loki at the time) would try to corrupt her and destroy the heroes so the world would be destroyed.

That would be the base concept for the game. I think where I hit a wall was filling in everything in between and figuring out what all the game world would be like.

What are you thinking about right now?

Too much.
School work and upcoming capstone projects.
Visual Novel Maker and making dating sims.
Character design and world building for my main project.
Playing princess maker.
Making characters for Vampire: Requiem 2e and stuff for a friend and mines discord RP.
Life in general.

[RMMV] [RMVX ACE] [REQUEST] Looking for FREE touch up artist

I don't imagine I'll get many if any takers but figure it wouldn't hurt to try at least. Like the title says I am in need of a free touch up artist for characters of my current RPG project. I will be doing most of the work myself. I just need someone with a tablet, Photoshop or an equivalent, and time on their hands. If I wasn't broke I would buy a tablet and attempt to do it myself. I will provide examples of my sketches of the MCs ive done so far below as well as the style I am aiming for. If anyone would possibly be interested, kindly reply to this topic. If you'd like to know more about my project send me a PM. Thanks in advance. :)




Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

Started retooling and reworking my original project to be an original game inspired and influenced by Lunar rather than being a fan game. Started refining character sketches, downloaded MV, once I have the world conceptualized and story outlined and storyboards down for cutscenes I will begin fleshing things out and start working on items weapons and skills before looking for the necessary plugins/scripts I need to get the Gameplay as close as I can to the feel of the Lunar series before putting it altogether in gam mak form.

What are your favorite and least favorite parts of gam mak?

Probably spriting and scripting. As I'm not good at either. Im still learning Python and I just lack the focus or patience for spriting (not to mention precision).

FAQs

Do you mind if I ask hiw you did the blue magic and Cyans bushido abilities? I plan on having characters in my project who do something similar. You can PM me if you like. Thanks. :)

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

I've decided to rethink my whole Lunar Fan game. Iv e decided i need to make a game similar to it in spirit but my own world and characters and etc. I tried making a new post but the captcha won't work on my smartphone for some reason. Anyways I have a couple of questions if anyone can help me:

Two questions:
  • 1. Does anyone know if there are any good scripts out for doing a game similar to the Lunar series?

and
  • 2. What would you say are the resource packs most worth spending money on at Steam for VX Ace?

[UNITY] [GM] [RM2K] [RM2K3] [RMXP] [RMVX] [RMVX ACE] [RMMV] Nirwanda's cheap pixels! Busts, battlers, tilesets... oh my!

Do you work with XVAce or just 2K/3? Also are you familiar with the Lunar franchise for Sega CD/PSX? Im wanting yo create a game in a similar vein/fashion. I just started working recently so I'm not sure when I will be where I can pay. If you would like more details feel free to PM me.

[RMVX ACE] Free Music Composition Software

Which of the free music composition software would the composers on this site say are the best for making custom tracks for RM projects- LLMS or Rosegarden? I found a site listing those at the number one and number three spots, and would like a second opinion before I download anything.
