PSY_WOMBATS'S PROFILE

I seem to be experiencing a weird bug that's preventing me from progressing?

I'm here to second the report given by ngoomie.

Thanks a ton for the bug reports!

You're very correct that the door->stair teleport was what was causing the problem. I've fixed some passability issues around that teleport that were introduced when converting the game for EasyRPG web. If you care to continue, the arrow puzzle past the well is the only task remaining for the Big Lizard Showdown. I appreciate the time taken to let me know where the issue was in such detail.

Also addressed the bunny bouncer bouncy squares.

Thanks for the review!

Re: not having enough cash for both items -- the game is designed so that for the first purchase, you can't get both. But whichever you pick, you'll unlock a path to a high-valuable trash item (worth 10gp) that enables you to purchase the other. So you can explore in whatever way feels more natural and it works both ways.


and trust me, I fixed that bunnysuit sequence break thing as soon as it was pointed out and before the event stream haha

When Discord is the alternative, then "Don't like don't use it" starts to make a lot of sense! What does it matter if RMN's community is thriving, when all that means is that a bunch of new users are playing forum games or discussing non-game design topics over at Discord?

while the discord is admittedly 10:1 general chat to gamedesign chat, there is still way /way/ more on-topic discussion there than on the forums, especially for the newer generation of users that only picked up the software via Steam sales and aren't 10year+ vets, even for 2k/3.

Forum inactivity is mostly because RMN is a "community" site now -- it's only really useful to the people who have been part of the community forever. itch.io has superseded it as a smallscale hosting space and does everything gamepages do and better, and actually has traffic from people looking to play games, not just develop them. On the other end, RpgmakerWeb is a much more active (and officially supported) forum for technical support and longform discussion of the engines. What reason would someone new to RM have to hang around here when those options are available? Like, even the OP of this thread was only posting here because their registration was delayed on RMweb haha. I don't a web overhaul is likely to bring RM up to par with either of those peers in this space.

Re: discord, it's a lot more attractive for new people just looking to chat/chill and get casual feedback. Especially when we disallow "here's my game" threads when most people are here to talk about their own stuff. Twitter seems to be the best niche for shortform dev updates that don't merit entire blogs, and there's a lot bigger audience there.

Also I don't think Discord "killed" the site any more than the Slack killed it, or the Skype killed it, or the IRC killed it before that. There will always be people who want to chat -- it's just that those types are the majority left now that all other site functionality can be found better elsewhere, and "having a discord" is the only aspect where RM is up to date.

Thanks, yeah, that's all JosephSeraph -- he definitely hit the promo illustrations out of the park
