RPG Maker MV or MZ?? Or latest? Best to use?

Reminds me of how bloated I made the previous game lol. I remember LockeZ and others telling me I didn't need a lot of things, but I went ahead with it anyways to give the game flavor. I mean...it has FLAVOR, but took 11 1/2 years to finish so...don't want to do THAT again lol. I'd like to finish this game (if I ever start it) before people graduate from Hololive and whatnot for once. ^^;

RPG Maker MV or MZ?? Or latest? Best to use?

So MZ it shall be once it's on sale again (though from what I hear, you can't use it if Steam is offline, right??). I'm not sure how long this game will be right now (hopefully nowhere near as long as Touhou Fantasy was lol...I have it split into 7 chapters + Prologue), and been working on ideas for it (for example, a branching skill system where you can dump points into specific stats/abilities/etc. to power them up and can move points around as needed, only gained from leveling up).

If I get MZ at some point, will probably be back here to ask for help with the game, if people are willing to help with that. I haven't touched any RPG Makers in I think 5 years (whenever Touhou Fantasy was released), so I might be out of the loop on things. Also would help to have help in general, which is something I wish I had asked before with other things with TF lol. Don't know how many Hololive fans there are here, but the more, the merrier!

RPG Maker MV or MZ?? Or latest? Best to use?

So, since I've been thinking of making a new game (it's yet another fangame, this time a Hololive fangame, for those curious), and am not sure which engine I want to go with. I don't think I want to go with 2k3 again, even though it's what I know, but I also know that the price of MV/MZ are pretty high (about $70-100 on Steam, I missed the sales on those sadly...). Are those best to go with or...??

[RM2K3] PS4 Controller not working with RPG Maker 2k3

Wow, hi. Been years since I last spoke here, hasn't it? So, I was actually going to stream my game, Touhou Fantasy, for the first time in 5-6 years after its release, since I never actually got a full playthrough on my YouTube channel, and was going to play with my PS4 controller (originally had a PS2 controller when I was making the game and all that). However, it appears that the PS4 controller doesn't work at all?? This is paired up using DS4Windows, and I know it works on everything else (Steam, other THINGS, etc.), so I figured it was a 2K3 issue. Is there any way around this at all by any chance?? Or am I doomed to have to use keyboard for this (which would probably get very loud in the mic lol...)??

Any help would be appreciated, since been meaning to do this for a loooong time now.

[RM2K3] Xenomic's Help Topic

Aye, I use DynRPG. Never used that plugin (seen it before when I was getting them years ago), so would be a thing for sure. To give an example of how the common events look, at least:



That's basically as simple as that. If you cannot learn the skill, it pops up the message. Otherwise, the skill is learned. Each skillbook is tied to a switch, so using Fantasy Scroll Lv2 would turn on the switch for this common event, check to see if Fantasy Orb Lv1 is learned, and if it is, removes it and gives Reimu the Lv2 variant with the message that she learned it, otherwise gives the message that it cannot be learned yet, then removes the skillbook from the inventory.

[RM2K3] Xenomic's Help Topic

So, it's been what...1 1/2 years since the game's been released? What a thing to think about...

In any case, I'm actually here for the very same game! So, I would like to refine at least ONE thing in it: The Ability Learning system. As it is, it's hot garbage and what takes the most time to do. You see, in order to learn abilities in Touhou Fantasy, you have to buy the skillbook from the shop and then use it. However, you have to buy EACH ONE (so need to get Level 2 of a skill before you can use the Level 3 book for that skill. This is to make it so you HAVE to pick and choose which abilities you want at the time, unless you're a madman and grind like hell for everything), and this wouldn't be bad...if all the skillbooks weren't at the bottom of the item list and you have to go into the menu and use each item one at a time.

Now, the question here is: Which would be the ideal method of dealing with this issue? I'm no good with custom menus, so I've no idea how to even do that. I could make a NPC that auto-uses each book, but that'll be hell dealing with the coding just for that (there's 1500 or so common events just for the skillbooks!).

Outside of that, not sure what else I COULD do for the game, unless anyone who's played it has any suggestions?

On a sidenote: Originally, I WAS going to split the game into 2 parts, but since I don't know how well that'd transition from one part to another between games...I opted out of that entirely. Hence, why it's a 70-100+ hour game. ^^;; Anytime I look back at it now, it kinda makes me upset that it wasn't a better game than it turned out to be...T-T

Hali's Review Thread (Request Your Game!)

Yeah, that's about what I was expecting...

Hali's Review Thread (Request Your Game!)

I think the HP threshold was if her HP was <10,000 HP, then it would change phases. That way, you couldn't just instantly gimp the fight outright. Mostly because nothing in the game is supposed to DO more than 10,000 HP in one blow, excluding EX Keine whom was dummied out, but well...bad coding makes her come out lol. And of course, I think her max speed is something like 200. HP was 55000 per phase, to a max of 440,000 total with all phases combined. If anything, I want to THINK I handled the finale of the game relatively well...

Hali's Review Thread (Request Your Game!)

Did it break the final battle at all?? As in, it didn't just outright remove all the phases, did it? ^^;;

But yeah, Revive is exceptionally powerful since it's a free AoE revive. Sure, 1 HP, but you're usually going to have some method of healing afterwards...or pray that there's no more AoEs after that if she's the last one alive. Hope's actually one of the ones that never really leaves my party at all (same with Marisa and Koishi).

Hali's Review Thread (Request Your Game!)

Oh, so then it's just because she's never removed from the party after the Rinnosuke fight, got it. But yeah, edited my message up above. Would you like to see her skillset?
