Just Do It! - Anti-Procrastination Initiative

I still need to iron out some pesky details that refuse to go away but I pretty much achieved my goal.


It may not have been much or anything impressive, but I did more in these past six weeks than I had done in quite some time. I have a clearer idea of the direction I want to take with this game, and the practice helped me getting over a stump. Hopefully I'll get into the gam making habit once more... Or I'll get lazy and forget all about it again, whichever happens first. xD

What are you thinking about right now?

Welp! That didn't seem to have worked. Dunno what could be wrong, I have no experience with this. Thanks for trying though!

Edit: I think I know what's wrong. The font change needs to be in "Main", and the opacity fix is an edit on Scene_MenuBase.

What are you thinking about right now?

I know we have a Help forum, but I don't want to open a new thread for something so tiny. So could someone please, pretty please, lend me a hand with this? ...If you own VX Ace, I need a replacement of the scripts file to use with Ace Lite with the following changes.

Font change: Link
#==============================================================================
# ** Main
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This processing is executed after module and class definition is finished.
#==============================================================================

Font.default_name = Gilles' Comic
Font.default_size = 22

rgss_main { SceneManager.run }


Window opacity change:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Create Background
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def create_background
@background_sprite = Sprite.new
@background_sprite.bitmap = SceneManager.background_bitmap
@background_sprite.color.set(16, 16, 16, 255)
end

Or at least that's how I think this works.

Thanks in advance! ...You know, it's fun to work with limitations, but it's silly I can't even change basic stuff like this w/o scripts.

I just noticed the boogie sprite is sped up for some reason. I'll have to fix it later.


Leave it, it makes more sense that way... I came up with a little story.

First he gets high.
Then he gets all loco.
Then he gets the munchies.
Then he stuffs his face.
Then he gets depressed.
Then he snaps out of it.
And finally he carries on...

Super Coolgame! Just Kidding!

I feel like there's a PPG joke here somewhere, but I can't think of anything right now... Neat little game tho.

I did, something...


Last goal: Battle graphics/Enemies.

What are you jamming to?

Trying to get some friends into Fado, so that calls for a cultural exchange. xD

What are you thinking about right now?

So I see the forums and think: wow what kind of awesome topic is rmn debating today. Oh, the same old stuff as always.

I used to like anime a lot back in the day. I even started learning Japanese and all... Then I watched Evangelion. xD

This has caught my fancy lately doe.

Are we too generous with game reviews?

To answer the OP: Yes. People here tend to be too 'generous', and this is something you'll notice everywhere not just in reviews. It ties to the "Hobbyist" mentality that permeates the site. People are more interested in exchanging pleasantries "This rocks! You're awesome!" than to be critical and really analyze things "What does this aims to be? How can it be improved?" etc.

From time to time this community will send you mixed signals. They'll wonder why we're not taken seriously, what can we do to uplift games and developers. But the moment you suggest something, they'll quickly revert to their "But we're amateurs. We just want to have fuuuuun" mindset, and shot down any ideas you bring up no matter how easy they're to implement.

Give up trying to change the review system. It's not going to happen. Not in any meaningful way. Not any time soon at least...

Does it matter that we use the Christian cross in our games?

Use an obscure symbol from any alternate religion.
Like la santa muerte for example. No one has thought about using it.

Maybe not in games, but just about every other TV show with 'Mexicans' in them does it. xD
