CHARBLAR'S PROFILE

author=unity
Aw, she never posted again. I was interested in hearing her ideas.

Sorry I ended up getting super shy and not coming back to talk about it. (But yes I would be interested in collaboration if such came up totally!) ((and also logging in to see that I was noticed was a push too to post))

so....

Super cool revised version of my request!
An overview of my project is similar to that such of the mother series with a diverse cast and colorful world. The games plot revolves around a character who still is currently unamed has their sketchbook come to life, the drawings inside of it come out of it in a warped way and starts to wreak havoc around the character then travels to retrieve these drawings making friends and what not "cool game stuff" when reaching each drawing you are pulled into a alternate world which is the page which the drawing was originally contained on. You travel through these pages till you restore them to their original "selves" and returning them to the sketchbook. While traveling through and retrieving your drawings the town slowly starts to go from carefree to a world more centered around themselves and not respecting others, groups form, people are shut out. All of this is from an under lying "evil" that the human nature itself can't avoid. I think this is enough.

OTHER than that as of abilities of myself I do myself do a lot of art while pixel art isn't my strong suit past a certain level, when I get into a project I will get quite sucked in and be ready to present new ideas and other things too, music i'm okay with though i dont have any programs i can work with to create it in a format for a game, i'm open to hearing new ideas too i would rather shift from my main idea over a lot to make a better product, and i can't really think of things more to say right now oops. i will though be glad to extend myself out of just work and talking as friends and goofing around

I do have skype and a microphone so talking is not a problem and i would be happy to set up a dropbox for google drive for exchanging game stuff

idk if this really matters but here is the protag (in the art style im planning on using for the game)


(super dumb but i was a little intimated too cause i have a 0 makerscore rip)

Yup. It will require the use of variables.

Basically you use a variable to check the amount of the items you can buy in the vending machine before purchasing the items.
Then after the purchase, have a series of conditional branches checking to see if those numbers have changed at all. If so, then add the message. If not, leave it blank. So, say you have three items - Soda, Juice and Water.

You'd have one variable for each: VSoda, VJuice, VWater.
- Check how many VSoda you have (so VSoda set Amount Soda Item owned)
- Check how many VJuice you have (so VJuice set Amount Juice Item owned)
- Check how many VWater you have (so VWater set Amount Water Item owned)

Then have the shop screen - BUY: Soda/Juice/Water

After that conditional branches.

IF VSoda LESS THAN Amount Soda Item owned Then
MAKE MESSAGE HERE
END

IF VJuice LESS THAN Amount Juice Item owned Then
MAKE MESSAGE HERE
END

IF VWater LESS THAN Amount Water Item owned Then
MAKE MESSAGE HERE
END

Thank you very much!

If you can find the appropriate script you can do that but the quick and dirty way is to use show pictures. iirc pictures appear below the window+text so you need to use a windowskin that is transparent for messages, use show picture to show the text backdrop, use another show picture to show your character bust (with a higher ID# than the window backdrop picture so it appears on top), and add spaces in front of the text in your ShowMessage command so it is offset and doesn't appear on top of your character's bust.

Just to check I'm following along correctly, basically edit the system window file to be transparent and then show a text box picture and then the sprite? The only thing I'm wondering is how you would position the text as they do in that picture so it works correctly. How would I edit the script though so the window is smaller so it allows the text to not overlap the sprite like in the picture?

BTW, what game this is from? Seems cool.

It's from the VX Ace Trailer so I honestly don't know sorry!

Congrats on the finishing of your novel that's a huge milestone for anyone!

I like them! Seems like a cool idea for a game, too! I'll definitely check it out when it gets a gamepage ^_^

Thank you very much!!!
