YEASTER'S PROFILE

Hi! Thank you for peeping at my profile.

I like making modern-themed games. My first game, Onyx, was made in 2006, when I was a senior in high school. So it's pretty ROUGH, but people seem to like it? Total Chaos is my personal favorite, but it has some, erm, issues, too. Mystery Man Zero is coming you guys, I haven't forgotten about it. A full-game will come out even if it takes 10 years. Oh gosh, I hope it doesn't take that long, but you get what I'm saying, right?

Right now, I am also working on A Nightmare in Sunnydale, a horror genre mesh-up fangame, if you will. I also like playing games. Actually, playing RPGM games is legit one of my favorite pastimes. *insert smiley here*

When I can fit it in, I do a little bit of Gatekeeper as well, a sci-fi fantasy about a team of god-lite forces, Gatekeepers, who have to protect the dying Earth from forces they don't even know about.

If thou think they can take it, download some of my stuff!

Yeah though. I had gotten through Onyx and some parts did not seem possible. Like HOW AND WHY. The Zorania fight got me very argh. And some of the battles I had to run around grinding a bit just to get through the challenge of the game. I don't know why Zorania was probably the hardest fight in the game. I had made an "inn" in Rasperra to serve as a restore to help grind around the area, and that kind of made sense for that area of the game. I think I had gotten to Level 18 to get through the Zorainia fight.
Another thing I did do to the entire game was changing the screen transistions of the game which felt too much like RPG Maker 95, the 'box' effect felt way too old, and dated. Like yee gads. That was a change I did to the game. Oh yeah, and since I am an image editor, I had went and changed a LOT of the colors of the maps to make it feel a bit more like a ligit game. That was a big problem of what I was expecting from Onyx was the dark feel of the game but a lot of the color was too bright and too RTP-ish, I had turned the brightness and the saturation of certain maps to make the color fit more in according to the game's feel. That's a big thing in terms of game design and game theory. Trust me, it really actually helped the game and I made it succeed!! Most of the other bosses were hard, but I have no idea why the Zorainia fight stuck out so much. I had used the guide to successfully get through the game. Onyx is a game of RAGE.

I'm also trying to update Onyx 2 to get Onyx 2 to feel like ligit too. Onyx 2 is ligit but more things are needed. MOAR. I guess when I get through Onyx 2, I shall share that file. I've been trying to update battle animations, and using dyn-plugins to make other things happen for the game - for instance, the RPG Maker 2003 engine's AGI is so damn slow. I used the "CortiATBSpeed" to get that running smooth. And hot damn it works so well! That made the game get a lot quicker running. I also added a game clock, at least the "game clock" plugin - which just monitors the time of the game, and adds a very nice background behind the menu which I used a panorama from ONYX 1 to keep it ONYXY in feel. And, I also added the "BattleMPstatdisplay" plugin that shows the MP usage IN battle which never really was in the rpg maker 2003 engine, that made little to no sense why enterbrain or ascii took that out in terms of the rpg maker 2003 engine is seeing MP healing and loss numbers. Like WHAT. COMMON ENTERBRAIN, you're killing me smalls!! But I am still going through ONYX 2, and updating battle animations as I go. Even adding battle animations for Evan Selwyn's base skills. But I'll keep you updated on that as I go...


Cool. Thanks

This game is dark but the story is pretty good. Though I have gotten stuck and had to hav a guide handy. And "Ethers" in this game are Sprite Sodas which are very necessary because some enemies deal an average of 200-300 damage and over. It gets hard. Not spoiling story but this story gets messed up rather quickly, just that was dark. I may release my update after I finish playing the game.


Wow, thanks for the feedback! Maybe I'll replay this myself soon

For some strange reason, this reminds me of Wonder Boy in Monster World. I loved that game

I have uploaded the savefile to my locker, can you have a look at it there? I don’t really know how else to send it to you. Thanks a lot again


Hi. So I don't know what the issue is with your particular game file; the battle worked fine for me. But I went ahead and got through that part for you anyway as well as recorded what happens after, which I recorded here: https://youtu.be/yXuLNNi2aw4

You can find the updated save file in my locker. Sorry about all this.

Hi Yeaster,
I'm already in my second try here. I have redownloaded and reinstalled the game and play it from scratch, before even coming to the forum and asking for help. I thought,
the whole thing with Zeroina healing until kingdom comes was a mistake on my part, then nobody seemed to have the same problem. I have no idea, why this happened. I have done nothing with the gamefiles, so that is not the solution, but what darkdreamer wrotes gives me the idea, that maybe something else on my pc interferes. Could my problem have something to do with the installed rtp? just a thought, I have played a lot of rpgm games but I know next to nothing about the different versions of the engine.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks for being so kind :)



Send me your save file.

Thanks a lot for your kind answer and for even making a video to help me out, but I'm afraid it doesn't solve my problem.

When I'm in this fight, the boss never transforms into his third form. He stays in his second form and just heals every turn. The third form, which I have seen in your video never happens in my playthrough, therefore this battle never ends and I can't play the game further. After more than 30 rounds like this I have shut down the game and tried the whole fight again with the same result.

Hopefully you understand my problem now better and sorry for not being clearer in
my first posting.





Oooh, wow. That shouldn't happen. Try redownloading the game and copying your save data to the new folder. Something must've went wrong when you first downloaded the game. Sorry about that!
