I really enjoyed Driftwood's Lets Play of your game - good writing and a really cool premise! Good luck in the competition!

At Last Alone: Risen

Eh? A prequel to the original At Last Alone game!? When did this happen??? :O

I remember playing and reviewing the original one a few years back - and remember quite enjoying it - so it’s a bit of a nice surprise to see another entry in the series just pop out of the blue like this. Although I’m not the biggest fan in the world when it comes to tactical RPG’s, with really the only ones that I really, really like being the original Sega Genesis Shining Force games, I wouldn’t mind giving this a play and review sometime in the future. So in the meantime I’ll be giving this is a subscribe for now. ^^

BTW, djbeardo – how did you end up doing in the IGMC event, anyway? Did the judges get around to playing your entry as of yet? I haven’t been following much of what’s been going on over there and all, so I’m curious to know.


Yep, kinda out of the blue! Thanks for your kind words regarding the last game!
I've been working on a true sequel to the game you played, but it's taken forever. I admittedly bit off more than I can reasonably chew regarding the story, maps, characters, etc. Classic RPGMaker rookie move: making the massive epic of my dreams. But I'm about 3/5 of the way done.

But as I was making that, IGMC started up and I had always wanted to do a tactical rpg. They are my absolute favorite genre of game, and when I saw GubiD's script for VXAce, I got really excited. So I figured I'd throw up a quick prequel/gaiden with the same characters (since I had their art, sprites, etc. ready to go).

The IGMC event closed on Nov 5, and I got a message saying they are closing the public vote Dec 18th, with winner announced "before Christmas". I haven't gotten any feedback from the judges yet. I've been watching a few youtubers claw their way through the submissions and there are some really good entries. I'd say about half of the entries either don't work, are all RTP, were thrown together in a day, or are incomprehensible. So that leaves about 125 solid entries! Very stiff competition!

But it was nice to complete something!

I'll probably revisit the tactics system in the future.

A tactics game using rpg maker. o_o This is a rare breed. I must try it! xD


It is! It was a big challenge finding any that were completed (for examples) or even much support on forums!

[RMVX ACE] Need a play tester for my IGMC game...

Hi! I need a playtester for my IGMC game. Just someone to find any gamebreaking bugs, stupid passability errors, broken enemies/skills/abilities, and typos/crimes against grammar.

My game page hasn't been approved yet, but I think it's in pretty good shape. It's already been tested once at a IRL game circle, but for only 20 minutes.

It's a tactics game made in VXACE, which is kinda unique.

Since it's for the IGMC contest, time is of the essence... I can PM you a link to a download.

[RMVX ACE] Looking for face generators and sprite generators

Yeah, the avatar generator may not work for lots of characters...
As for the sprites: No, they are taller. So you'd have to use doors that are 2 tiles high. But aside from that, they mesh pretty well.

[RMVX ACE] Looking for face generators and sprite generators

I always thought that this anime avatar creator site could generate some good busts and faces. You'd have to screengrab the end result and maybe photoshop out the background, etc. But it could be done:

You may be able to find other kinds of things by googling "avatar generator" or "anime generator" etc.

And this is my sprite generator of choice:

Oh no! What happened? You moving on to something else?

Spiffing up my map

Agreed - the last shed you have can get cut in half.
