[Unpaid] Recruiting for a commercial project: calling all musicians!
Okay, so I'll get it out of the way up front here and say this isn't a paid thing, but you will get your name in the credits of a title that is going to be on a few app stores.
A friend of mine who works for a games developer here in Scotland (the same one I did a summer internship at) is working on a game with another game developer friend of ours. He's a shit-hot 3D modeller, the other guy is a really good coder, but neither of them can compose worth a damn. I'm too busy with my own projects to give them the musaks, so this is where you guys come in!
I've seen a few posts around here from people who are just looking to do portfolio pieces or favours, and I told my friend I'd make a topic here to see if anyone was interested in doing music for him since I'm the most popular guy on RMN (lulz) and you all love working for free, right?
Anyway, basically what he needs is some funky, happy-sounding shoot-em-up music, preferably a genre like electronica. The requirement isn't too strict so feel free to go wild if you are interested.
Depending on how this goes, my friend may be looking to work with someone as a composer on further games we release, some of which may be paid depending on how well they sell.
Any takers?
Edit: Forgot to mention that anyone who can do chiptunes or the like would be ideal for this, as my friend would also prefer something 8-bit.

Enjoy the ramblings of stream-of-consciousness contest reviewing.
So I was looking through some old documents on my hard drive and came across a file I wrote while playing entries for a contest which was apparently badaptations of movies or TV shows. I don't remember any of these games but going by what I wrote I would totally play them again. Enjoy!
24 the RPG
Impressions
The little character at the beginning ruins the mood.
Use of an actual voiceover was a cool idea.
The photographic facesets are awesome.
An item called Commercial Break? GENIUS.
Skills called Bauerisms, I love it.
Haha, he's carrying a man bag.
Haha, the item names are brilliant.
The gun animation takes just a little too long to end.
I've never seen a cop who could heal people before.
Given the sameness of the enemies the encounter rate is a bit high.
The random dungeons are getting boring now.
Okay, I chuckled at the welfare moms line.
ROFL God.
...that was easy.
Hahahaha bluff. This is great.
Final dammit and game over. Perfection.

WWF vs WWF impressions
Concept is amazing. I wish I'd thought of this.
Sim RPG Maker 95? This is going to be interesting.
Haha, Bret the Hitman Hart just punched a crocodile.
And then Ric Flair KICKED A BEAR IN THE FACE. I love this.
It's getting a bit boring now.
I hope to god this is the only map.
Fuck yeah 60 damage critical elbow drop!
62 damage! You go, Razor Ramon.
Aww, fuck, I have to put Hart back round the other side to kill that porcupine.
Victoly!
Haha, love the end message.

Funky music.
Choices, choices...
That was beautiful.

Eternal Sorrow impressions
Hey, the protagonist has the same name as me!
I wonder who that person on the right is criticising all the narrative decisions.
Why is a school student equipped with medieval armour?
Why am I killing teachers?
Why are these desks laid out like they're only there to impede my progress?
Oh hey a person. Oh, he's wondering the same thing as me.
That's the worst floor plan for a school I've ever seen.
Oh, this dude looks ominous.
Oh, it's a chick.

Something Completely Insane
Oh god, Justin Bieber as a chipmunk. This is awesome.
CHRIST MY EYES THAT SYSTEM COLOUR IS HIDEOUS
Haha, I love the menu options and names for things. Not sure what to think about not have any talentz. Is this a SUBTLE DIG at Ms Gomez?
Fucking hell I can feel myself growing breasts just looking at the menu.
Did...I just eat a fangirl?
So Selena Gomez lives in a house in the sky and her bedroom is filled with gold bars? Seems legit.
Beautiful looping on the background there, I can barely tell it's a scrolling image.
Okay, now I'm just getting dizzy.
I am eating fangirls by the truckload.
Haha, paparazzi.
Why do all these contest entries have super fucking high encounter rates when there are only like a couple of enemy types?
Where the fuck am I meant to be going?
Ah, think I got it now.
133 fangirls eaten!
Hahaha, Justin Bieber has a "put lipstick on" command too. I want this game to win.
EVIL FLYING PAPARAZZI
Okay, the hater chickens are annoying as fuck when they cluster around you.
Fucking chickens!
I'm down to 58 fangirls. :(
I have no idea where the fuck I'm going and that song is starting to give me a headache.
93 lawsuits. XD
And I went in a fucking circle.
These battles are honestly putting me to sleep now.
Please make it stop...
Oh thank christ I'm out of there.
...is Justin wearing a dress?
I AM SO UPSET I WILL EAT SOME FANS
Why am I still playing this?
Uh...what do I do now? I can't leave and Justin doesn't do anything.
Fuck it, I'm done. I'm guessing the events are bugged here.

That was disappointingly short. :(

Can't play it because I don't have the RTP.

The return of Werewolf prethread
So this Mafia thing still seems to be going strong here. That is good...good.
Okay, for those of you who didn't play or know about it way back when, I used to run a bot on IRC that automated games of Werewolf (a Mafia variant) that people could just jump into and play any time they wanted. It's quicker and less strategic than forum Mafia, but when it's quicker it's a LOT quicker. Plus I can pretty much add any roles or flavour anyone wants and they don't have to wait around while the mod gets things ready or figures out what needs to happen when, it's all done for you.
Now this bot is no longer active, but now that I'm back here I want to bring the bot back as well. I'm probably going to do this even if nobody wants to play because I love IRC scripting and it'll give me something to do in my downtime, but what would be just marvellous would be if there were people who were going to take advantage of my hard work in the name of fun.
What am I asking of you? Basically come and try out the game, when I get it back up and running. I'm going to do a new version of the bot from scratch (again) so things'll be rough around the edges for a few weeks, but you can all feel free to suggest any special rules, roles, flavours, or game commands you want. As long as it's within my power to code, I'll add it.
Feel free to pop into #werewolf on irc.dynastynet.net; the bot isn't going to be working immediately but I'll need testers throughout the development process anyway.

Guess who's back, back again
Trihan's back; tell a friend!
It has been a while and a half since I last graced this place with my amazing pony avatar, but I figured I'd shoot by and see what's happening in the wonderful world of gam mak since last I meandered around in its waters.
Apparently someone wants a demo of a script I wrote, and I happened to come back on the very same day my Crash Course game got a review, further cementing my theory that I am, in fact, psychic.
Anyway, for those of you who know me, I sadly have no updates on Tundra. It's still in the works, honest! I just...haven't...really done anything...on it...for about...a long time. But have patience, my friends: one day you will log onto rm.net and suddenly there will be rapturous applause and music will play from the heavens as a copy of the most hotly-anticipated vapourware in RM history taunts you from the front page with promises of epic story, engaging characters, addictive minigames and awesome systems. And also Tundra might be there too I guess.
What I do have are a couple of games I'm working on for a local games developer: although I can't give any details yet those of you who like turn-based war strategy games are in for a treat (all two of you)!
Also, I'm considering bringing Werewolf back to IRC. For too long you people have toiled in the mines, devoid of entertainment! Cast your minds back to the glory days when we had 20 assassins all killing each other during the night, or the time I added Space Wolf. Vroom!
So yeah, if anyone is liking the possibility of Werewolf making a comeback, let me know. The more interest there is in it, the more likely I am to stir from my decade-long slumber to code a new engine for it.
Happy gaming everyone!

I'm getting married! (and other feelsy bullshit you don't care about)
Most people already knew I was engaged, but we finally set a date!
On June the 21st, 2014, Kytt Shepherd will finally make an honest woman of me.
Tell all your friends!

[Poll] The return of the return of IRC Werewolf
So it's that time of year again when I think about the poor old Werewolf bot I coded for IRC, sitting all alone on my desktop PC's hard drive collecting dust.
It's become somewhat of a tradition that every year I code it again from the ground up, bigger, better, stronger and faster than before. I like coding stuff, you see.
However, I do this because there are people who want to play it, and since it's been a while I want to test the waters before I commit myself to a coding project that might not even be wanted. This is where you guys come in.
Let me know what kind of demand there is for an IRC Werewolf bot, and a man will do the rest.

Gameglobe
So I was just watching funny songs by Taryn Southern on Youtube and got an advert for this game creation thing called Gameglobe that appears to be from Square Enix.
I'm gonna check it out and see if it's any good; has anyone tried it?

WTF? Battle Processing in VX Ace only shows 30 entries?
Not sure where else to put this, figured this forum was the closest thing.
I can't believe I didn't notice it until now, but in RPG Maker VX Ace (the version on Steam at least) if you select the Battle Processing event command, the drop-down list only shows the first 30 entries of the enemy database, even if you have more than that. This is a pretty huge fucking oversight if you ask me. Seems like someone forgot to add a scroll bar to the list. -_-
Edit: Oh my great god, as if that weren't bad enough, if you remove entries from the enemy database and reduce the maximum, the Battle Processing command still shows the original 30, and if you have a battle with a monster above the maximum you set there's nothing in the field and you automatically win. What the hell, Enterbrain?

Trihan's "Make me a script" topic!
The client I'm currently scripting for is starting to near the end of his requirements (aside from tweaking and optimising the ones I've already done) and since I'm currently between jobs I'm not doing much right now, so I thought I would take this opportunity to give a little back to the community that's kept me going for the past 12 years.
If anyone has a script they wanted for RMXP, VX or VX Ace, but didn't have a scripter or the knowledge to do it themselves, here's your chance! Let me know what you need and I'll script it for you.
Also, if you're a novice scripter and need help fixing/improving scripts you're writing yourself, feel free to post them here and I'll see what I can do. Thanks to Isrieri for the suggestion!
Please note that this doesn't mean I won't be finishing my own scripts people were waiting for. ^_^
Requests will be dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis. I will do smaller scripts, like utility and simple features, for free, but please be aware that if you want a more complex system I will have to charge you. I'm not doing a full TBS for free. :P

Is it still discrimination if it's equal?
Help me settle this debate I was having with my girlfriend at dinner:
She says that, for the sake of example, Disney movies aren't sexist as some claim because they're prejudiced in their portrayal of men as well as women. Her argument is that it isn't discrimination if you're treating everyone the same, even if that treatment is bad.
My stance is that discrimination doesn't stop being discrimination if you add to the list of people you're being a dick to. Something that's sexist to both men and women is still sexist.
What are your thoughts on this?
