LOVE the fat sprites!!

Favorite examples of menu design?

What are some of your favorite examples of menus in video games? Either from purely a functional standpoint, or sheer aesthetics. Post specific examples!


One beautiful example I think about often is the menu for Dishonored.

Wish I could find a video that showcases the in-game menu, but man. It's pretty!

What else?

What are your favorite and least favorite parts of gam mak?

I love most aspects of it, except for creating graphical assets. Any time I reach a point where I know I have to open an image editor, I just dread it, and wind up procrastinating. It happens frequently.

Making your Custom Menu System

author=JustRob
I realize this tutorial is fairly old, but there's a fatal flaw here. You use a Move Event command with a repeated Wait to halt the player's movement, but this doesn't affect other potential moving events on your map. So if you have, say, moving enemies on your map that start a battle when they touch you, and you're in the menu, shit goes wrong.

I feel like making the menu Auto Start is the best way to resolve this, but some people have indicated lag. I'll do some experimenting.


It's been a long time since I wrote this tutorial (over seven years, holy heck). There are definitely multiple ways to do things, and I definitely recommend you do what works best for you! In custom menus I've designed in the past, I activate a switch to indicate the menu is open. If there's an event I also want halted, I add a blank event page activated by that menu switch to the event I want halted. You might not want ALL events to halt when you open your menu. But maybe you do!

I know there have been a lot of extremely significant changes made to the RM2k3 editor and runtime engine since its english release, so I guarantee almost all the information in this tutorial is pretty well out of date. Hope it was at least a bit helpful to you, though!

Dude, fuck, this looks great. How did you get the rain to work in 2k3?


I think 2k3 has rain effects, doesn't it?
