RMN3 Changes (EVERYONE READ)

The game list has been redone to "bump" the most recently updated games to the top, working like a forum topic in that regard. To update your game, you simply add content to it. A new image, video, download, or blog post will bump your game. Active games will naturally float to the top of the list.

WIP and I argued about this quite a lot actually, and I think this is the best compromise. It is best to think about this as functionally the same thing as the forum.

How will complete games be drawn to people's attention? I know you said before that they can search for completed games, but I mean, what if people aren't actively searching and are just clicking whatever's at the top of the games list? How do complete games that aren't being worked on get topdecked? If someone reviews them? Well how will someone to know to review them if they don't get topdecked?

I can't help but think you oppose this because it hamstrings you and what you do best - plug your games absolutely nonstop and without shame in order to draw attention to them. You will no longer be able to swamp the game discussion thread with pages of threads of games you have made over the years! How do you think the rest of us feel when you create yet another Iron Gaia thread when our new projects with 100% original assets that have been coded from scratch get buried under your fifteen old game threads?

I disagree that complete games should get more attention than new games. The entire problem with the community is that there is not enough discussion about new games and not enough support of new toolsets. The objective of RPGMaker.net is to provide feedback and attention for new developers, projects, and methods. It is not a place dedicated to chat about A Blurred Line, The Way, Iron Gaia, or whatever other 6-year-old RMNK game you grew up with. It's great to talk about classic games, particularly if they were overlooked, but we need to look ahead also. The RPGMaker community outside of RMXP/VX.org has been WAY to insular for many years and that is why it has had trouble growing. And can you guess why RMXP/VX.org have been so popular?

CODING HELP: Making a Super Bar?

What you do is put the super bar on the character's faceset. Then, every battle action, you adjust the faceset to an identical one with a super bar that is more filled up.

If it is for the entire party, you put it on the battle background.

New Years is approaching!

I have made the early resolution to do my dishes.

Working Out. Also: Stats. Get off your ass and join in!

I'm finally getting a gym membership (actually as one of my Christmas presents!) and so I'm ready to go head on over after school everyday, or close to it. Mmmm no more working out in my garage! I guess I'll post "stats" sometime later

Perk: Sex Appeal

Suikoden on sale for $5.99

So I've played a good amount of this over the last few days. I have been in the process of changing apartments so my access to video games etc is a little limited. I am glad, though, because this is a good game.

It starts out -really- dry. It's pretty bad. But once the game picks up steam, it improves drastically. The translation is spotty at times (especially the menus), but the scenario is extremely compelling and the characters are very good.

I first played Suikoden when I was like . . . 10 years old something. I didn't really 'get' the game. Viktor was my favorite character because he did the most damage! But now, Gremio is my favorite character.

I have noticed that the mapping is not very good. I have seen so many RPGMaker games rip these tiles off and use them better. Funny!

So yeah guys I recommend this game 100%. It's super good. It's also really cheap! having a chance to play a coveted collector's item for $5.99 both at home on PS3 and on-the-go on PSP - that's a stellar deal.

EDIT FOR WIP:

For hardware sales: http://www.joystiq.com/tag/HardwareSales/

Before the 360 price drop, PSP outsold it every month. LIKE I SAID IT IS NO BIG DEAL I am just saying that the hardware is a viable platform with reasonable sales.

Suikoden on sale for $5.99

So I just bought this and I laughed when I noticed they are using the Japanese box art.



. . . too bad :(

By the way guys this is an awesome game and if you have a PSP or PS3 you should get it. It is so cheap!

Video Game Purchases

This is a topic where you pop in and say which game you bought and say something about it. I think a lot of us buy games that don't have threads and it would be nice to have a topic where we can still make a post about it. This could also serve as a general shopping news/tips thread.

I just bought Baroque for Wii. It was $7.99. I do not know if it will be good or not, but the reviews all say that it is a little weird and interesting et cetera, so I am looking forward to it. It is an Atlus game and is a dungeon crawler with an unusual atmosphere. I don't really know anything about it, other than reviews said that it "is not for everyone" but did not say "it is bad". It was only the cost of a rental after all!

I also bought Spectral Force 3. I don't know why. Idea Factory games are horrible and I buy so many of them. I think I might appreciate their persistence or something? Anyway, it is a tactical J-RPG for XBox 360 that is not supposed to be very good. Who knows, though - sometimes those sorts of games end up being your favorite game ever made.

I bought these at Gamefly - they have an awesome year-end sale every year where they put pre-played games on clearance. The price is like half of what Gamestop charges (Baroque is $18 used and Spectral Force 3 is $40 used at GS). They have some headlining deals such as Devil May Cry 4 for $12.99 (!!!), Ninja Gaiden 2 for $14.99 (!!!), and Grand Theft Auto 4 for $19.99 (!!!). Like seriously guys check it out before the sale ends (new year). You might even be able to trade your games back to Gamestop for a profit <3

What annoys you in a game?

P.S. Anyone making odds on how long it's going to take for the word barbarian to show up in this discussion?

Read more carefully <3

Suikoden on sale for $5.99

author=Max McGee link=topic=2770.msg52359#msg52359 date=1230146166
I have never played Suikoden! I would consider purchasing this if my brother's PS3 was in working order. I have no other way of accessing the playstation store.

You can access it through the PSP too. I would rather play it on PSP personally. But you probably don't have one of them either!
