WOLFCODER'S PROFILE

Actually, the more rocks you see on the surface, the more ore would be under the ground in this game.

Agreed, you should break up those two trees

This is a 3D game being drawn as a 2D top-down view. Some parallax confusion is unavoidable. I didn't write a more advanced lighting engine just because it was cool- it helps to identify the edges of things but there are still cases where confusion will occur.

I might be able to at least make it so it won't place a tree where it would create more parallax confusion for when the world is generated.

The grass is too vibrant. Makes it basically impossible to see most of the HUD and really hard to see the sprites.

Hrm, I take a think about that (I'm not seeing it, but I will probably adjust the tone of the grass anyways).

You need a balance though. Its easy to be "haters gon hate" if its just something you did as a hobby, it is a different story if you want to try and sell something. This place is too specialized and myopic, if you go to a large audience, they react differently. Outside of this enclave, people generally pass on RPG Maker games without even looking at them.

Speaking of which, they do let you submit applications and tools to Greenlight, not just games. You can mashup footage of your game and your editor and easily stand out, from what I've seen. I'm not sure how many people browse the tools and applications there, but if that's the same handicap for the other tools, it will take you fewer votes.

If I wanted to do walls, I'd just go full 3D block land like the old LandTraveller 3D prototype. This would require a special block editor so it would be easy for anyone to make 3D blocks. Developing such a thing (well) would take a ton of time, so it is a distant future mode of RPG20XX.

EDIT: I seemed to have failed to notice that LandTraveller uses this same engine...!

LandTraveller uses a heavily modified closed-source version of RPG20XX, and is going back to the 3D to 2D isometric block world thing. LandTraveller cannot be made with any existing engine except one made especially for the game, but all the framework from RPG20XX comes in handy.

Stuff like the advanced lighting engine and all that may be ported back to RPG20XX standard because it is awesome.

You can try the public alpha demo of LandTraveller here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/landtrav#announcements/detail/795235381340595399

It's like the early access to Early Access so you can demo before you demo. I'm a long way from Greenlight, but I want to have already proven that this is a real game and if you're going to like the idea or not.

Those older prototype 3D screenshots are about to be archived as soon as enough new screenshots are in.

you can't resize the window after opening it with Gosu library.

I assume there's a part where before you init the library in your code. You can get the resolution of the user's desktop screen and automatically calculate a good size, and then init with that.

Even so, because it is the editor, people are going to have problems with not being able to resize their workspace since every single toolkit ever had a standard resizable application window.

but I would recommend not using rpg maker rtp in any screenshots so legal issues with enterbrain don't come up even before a release.

It's actually OK here because its just for demonstration purposes. However, you cannot bundle it with your engine downloads nor use these screenshots on something like the engine's web page. Your circumstances may be slightly different, so you should always ask a lawyer to be sure.
