1.44 Floppy Disc Event

There's no issue in using a resource from the RTP as long as you include that file in the compressed game AND do that flag thing explained in the link that El_Waka posted ;)

Yup! Rips and free resources are 100% allowed.


OK! Thanks!

...now we play the waiting game :P

If you need 8bit sounds then you can make your own using this: https://www.bfxr.net/

By the way, can we use rips from old games and free-to-use resources? Or are we forced to make our own resources (apart from RTP)?

I love the idea!

If anybody needs a pixel artist, let me know.
Otherwise, I might make a game on my own.
I would take your offer if I wasn't too afraid of becoming ambitious and probably never finishing the project thus wasting your time and talent :P
I like a challenge. I wouldn't say no to making something ambitious in record time.

If you already have a concept or story in mind, we can discuss how to keep it small :)

I'll PM you to discuss this :)

Progress Report - 4/5/21 - Overworld Sprite Showcase

These look really good!

Alex Unleashed - Short

You're probably not working on this anymore and won't even read this, but I want to share my thoughts.

I found out about Alex Unleashed through a recommended youtube video (an actual good recommendation! What are the odds, huh?!).

Playing this 10 years too late. I know.

Anyway! It was a fun little battle demo, but not without problems.

The battle animations are simply phenomenal! The way the characters flow in battle is really striking.

The way you coded the events to create a different battle system was truly ingenious! How you managed to make Alex disappear and reappear to strike his enemies down was really clever!

The custom sprites look really good!

A lot of attention was put into the presentation of this demo, which is why I found it weird when the background music didn't loop properly and broke the immersion.

The maps make good use of the RTP but are too large/spacious and empty. Smaller maps or maps making better use of space would have looked better.
This was (and is) a pretty common issue for devs (i.e.: Blue Dragon by Mistwalker suffers from this).

I also ran into some bugs, which is expected when using RPG Maker in a way that it wasn't intended, but still annoying. The Limit Breaks would randomly stop working and Alex couldn't run properly, only running in small bursts or not at all.

Everything is too slow. The dialogue, the movement, the way I have to wait for the girl to heal me, even the flow of battle is too slow (even if it looks great). There should be a better balance between looking good and speed.

Using some skills, I am unable to see if they made any damage to the enemy, the numbers were obscured by the battle animation and sometimes I don't think they even showed up.

The evasion/parry rates are too high. In 10 attacks I'll hit the enemy 3 or 4 times.

Magic was useless, costs too much MP and hits for not enough damage. Once I figured that out I simply mashed Attack, healing when necessary, until I got the Limit Break which is the only thing that can kill enemies.

Enemies healing too frequently was annoying, but I guess you wanted the Limit Break to be the way to go here, so I get it.

I'm glad I tried this out, it really showcases what you can do in RPG Maker 2003 if you think outside of the box! Despite my complaints, it was a great little demo! Hope you're still a creative person to this day!

This seems pretty cool. I quite like the atmosphere and graphics.

The digitalized maps remind me of Moon RPG Remix.

Edit: wanted to try out the game but I can't extract it. I don't have a program compatible with ".rar" (only ".zip" and "7zip"). Tried several online extractors and they also didn't work.
