4th wall breaking without text?

I love making creepy, or scary games. Especially when it's scary because it's surreal. It lets me loose, and I'm not held down by logic or reasoning, just do what I want as long as it's fun. Now I remember someone wanted to make an LSD styled Yume Nikki game. I loved that idea. Now, meet Mountain Insanity.

Yes, I know, I suck at this. I had Liberate going, but like I said, I'm being held down by logic and reasoning for that game...and I'm running out of ideas, so there's that. Even the 2K3 version I tried making before(JailBreakOut), I didn't get much farther starting the making of the second part of the game, after your characters are attacked by the main bad guy for the first time. Everyone who knew I was working on Liberate knew I wouldn't finish it, so yeah.

Now, have any of you heard of the game "The 4th Wall"? It's a surrealistic, kenophobic game, that breaks the 4th wall. It also does not have text in game.
Spoiler alert, at the end of the game, your close it. Then it goes to your desktop screen. Then a giant static hand pops out at yo-wait WHAT?
Yeah, that's one example. Another, I forgot what the name of the game is called, but it's a japanese puzzle game that can also be considered horror. There are multiple endings, and it has a story. One of the endings, since the game runs in a window, the girl you normally see in the background of the game is insane. You see, a boy killed a pet of hers when she was young, as a sign of love(good luck with that dumbass), and when she learned her pet was dead, she lost it. I guess she was on the brink of insanity, maybe an emotional crisis happened before, like she witnessed the death of her parents or something, but if a dead rabbit is enough to make you go loco, then someone was wrong with you to begin with. Anyways, the boy, in fear, did not tell her that he did it. She plays this game to keep herself from killing, if she loses, someone dies. Well, to the point, at the ending you see from off to the side, this girl walks up(she is ON the desktop, not in the window) to the Window, walks through the side of the window into the game, and then SPOILER ALERT, she doesn't kill the character on the screen.

I want something like that to be able to happen with VX or 2K3. Since 2K just sucks, and XP doesn't work on my computer for some odd reason(we all know why, there is no sense in hiding it, I just want you to guess), those other two programs are the only ones I can use. Oh, and VX Ace doesn't work either for the same reason as XP.

I would like either a plugin or something for 2K3 that can allow the game to somehow keep running even after the window or game is closed, so that events can still work. That way, if I use 2K3, I could have an animation run after the game ends.

If I use VX, it could be a script or a plugin, either way I would like to see if I could get some help in doing this in VX as well maybe. Since 2K3 is more limited then VX, if it doesn't work in 2K3, it should work in VX.

If you have any questions, please ask. I just want to break the 4th wall in peace! XD

Voice Actors for Hire: Villains

Me and my brother were talking today, and we wanted to do something, I found out my brother did a good evil laugh, and the people around me in the room thought the line I did, from the game Kingdom Hearts(I forgot which one, either 1 or 2), was good, so we decided to get some work.

Now I don't know how we could get paid, or if we are even worthy of being paid money, so someone reply and help me on this because seriously, I don't know.

Anyways, I have done voice acting before, but none of it was saved. However, here is an audition for this, as we were specifically looking to be villains:


So yeah, now that is done, thank you for looking at this topic. Something to note, my brother does not have an account on RMN, and I would like to work with him, so if you don't have me, you don't have him, and vice versa. Any questions(since this is all I could think about to put in the topic XD)?

Charset Maker

I remember that I had found a program that helped me easily make charasets. I want to find that program again, and put it to use. I'm bored, pretty much, and need something to do. Since Liberate is BOUND to be canceled since my boredom knows no bounds, even leaking my mind of ideas, I plan to try out something else. It was specifically for 2K/2K3, but can be used for all makes, and even tilsets and battlecharas most likely. So, along with a program that can make these sets easier than a paint tool, can I get a few templates to use, just in case I somehow screw it up?
Thanks. .3.

[RMVX] Tracer Script Crash



This keeps happening to me whenever I open the game. Maybe it deals with me opening a save, or the amount of scripts I have for added content, meant to be fun. But my main issue is that with the game, having alot of guards and such, I found this script and felt it was perfect for what I was trying to do!
Then I realized this major issue.
The script is suppose to make any event with the word "tracer" in it's name, act like a guard. It uses a sound and sight system where if you make a loud enough sound, or get in sight of the guard, you will be caught. I had already started making the game at this time, and I guess I kind of got far. Most likely far enough to make a demo. But still, it seemed good to add some things to make the game a bit more gameplay based instead of...well...shit.
It was actually story based, and the only script I had was a confusion walk script. Then I started adding more so my game would stick out from the rest, since, so far, it used RTP monster and character sprites, along with MACK tilesets. So yes, I am not thinking of replacing the characters. Maybe the monsters. But not the characters.

Well, back to the point...there isn't much else to say. It just keeps crashing...so yeah.

[RMXP] Conditional Branches

So my Dad is working on RPG maker XP again, and worked on it before, for quite some time. I taught him how to use switches, and about alot of things that I knew. He's working on what I'm guessing to be an Ultima/Dungeons and Dragons type game, and he wanted to make an Inn. Well, if you look at the title you may be able to tell the issue.
When I saw what he was doing, I was confused. He seemed to be trying to get the Inn Keeper to check if you have 10 gold. There was an NPC behind the table sprite, and on the sprite of the table itself, there was an event to be the Inn Keeper itself, just talking. I'm not sure, but I guess the table isn't on of those sprites that can allow you to talk to NPCs while the NPC is behind it.
To get to the point, every time he makes the command for Conditional Branch, it doesn't appear. Then when he clicks where it was SUPPOSE to appear, the program crashes. This is very annoying, and I want him to have fun retrying RPG maker. While it can be tedious, guess you got a think of it as making your own world, one that doesn't screw itself over in the process in making it.
In other words, this crash is the computer playing God, and Dad is God. We need help.

Infinit+Cave World=Trinit NEED A TEAM

author=Game
Infinit/Cave World

Name: Trinit
Ideas:
-Start in a adoption center.
-If going the Yume Nikki route:
--NPCs will exist on the outside of the dream world, as well as inside. In the

dream world NPCs won't talk, awake, they will.
--You will collect effects in the game.
--Symbolism is a must either way I go, but it is definetly needed here.
-If going the Ao Oni route:
--Like one of the versions of Ao Oni, therw will be certain monsters in certain

situations.
--In the adoption center, you will have your own room, and other rooms will be

locked.
--As you go on, you have to save friends or else they become monsters. One

friend will be unable to be saved, and will just end up being a scare to the

player. :3
--Puzzles are a must!
-If able to cross routes:
--Start in the cave, be able to go to the adoption center when you want, at all

times.
--Some effects will be needed to solve puzzles.
--You will be able to attack/kill the monster. No in-game battles, fights work

like Yume Nikki with Madotsuki's knife.
--One of the monsters will either be triggered by an effect, or will give you an

effect, and will be this game's Uboa if triggered by anything else other than an

effect.
-If going my own route:
--Be in the cave world at the start of the game, goal of the game will be to get

to the adoption center and leave.
--4 characters besides the player will need to be saved. 4 monsters resembling

the characters will be there gaurding these 4 characters, some of the monsters

will attack, or end the game entirely. (watch out)
--Each friend when saved will give you an item that will act as an effect.
--You will be able to change characters mid-game, since some effects only work

with a character that gives it to you...maybe.
--At the start of the game, you will have one 'effect' and a monster that looks

like you, will be there. He will chase you throughout the game.

Genre: Psycholigical horror
Maker: RPG maker 2K3 OR RPG maker VX

Will need:
If RPG Maker VX:
-A place to get scripts/someone who knows the scripting code of RPGMVX
-A graphic/music artist, as I would like the game to be fully custom
-Someone to edit my maps/make maps
-A friend on RPGmaker.net who is willing to help me with this project

If RPG Maker 2K3:
-A person who can code VERY well, as I suck at using this engine for some reason
-A graphic/music artist, as I would like the game to be fully custom
-Someone to edit my maps/make maps
-A friend that is on RPG maker.Net who is willing to help me with the project.


If you read that block of text above what is probably going to be another block of text, you should know some plans of the game so far. I'm wanting to make a psychological horror game, and it is merging two of my past ideas, a Sci-Fi game Infinit and an idea of a different psychological horror game idea I had, Cave World.
You see, I played a fan game of Yume Nikki, Ignite, and it seemed fun. Psychological horror games are fun games to make, but as you guys know...my last try at this SUCKED. And every try after that was never released. I was wandering...can someone help me with this? I think I need a team, because what seemed to be a lack of time to me, at the time, made me rush. If I have a team with me, I won't be rushed anymore because now everyone is pitching in.
I know there are issues with making games with a group of people online though, and I, especially, know about alot of these issues, and I believe Ignite, .flow, and Yume Nikki were made solo, no team involved. But let's think about this, this is ME asking. I'm the guy who made Fire Woman...yeah, so I definetly need help.

Who would like to help me? Super Mario Seasons seems to be on a slight delay, so I feel like doing this while me, Seiromem, and Blobofgoo get through with Super RMN World, and get back to Super Mario Seasons planning like the special world/final world.

Game Profiles - Episodic?

What does episodic mean in this case, and how should it be used? Just curious, because I may need the information soon.

How to stream?

Well, I got this streaming program, Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder, and I go to check it out. I realize I don't know how to stream yet, so i go searching for tutorials. Now I can't find a way to stream stuff on screen, as in screen recording stream. I don't use capture cards, I don't record from the TV, I want to stream live from my computer, a game like SMBX, or while playing an emulator. Seriously, this is fucking annoying. I need help. If this program needs another program to do said things, than please, give it to me. If Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder can't do it at all, then can you help me find a program that can, and I need it to be free. My rule is that anything online shouldn't need to be bought...so yeah. This means that I won't buy anything online, and so, need to get a free program.
Please, people, I need your help!

E=MC^2 is not true in RPG maker

You may not know what I mean here, but you know that famous equation Albert E. made a long time ago? Well, RPG maker breaks that law, as it is not true. Now, I may know what you're thinking, it's a 2D game, and has no real physics. Well, I didn't make my character go at the speed of light in-game shorting out my computer from all the energy being created, because not only would I not be talking to you here, but it's impossible anyway. The object on screen has no mass, so no energy would be created, plus technically it already is going as fast as light, and needs energy, so yeah.
What I did was make a system, I may of screwed this up, but it was just an experiment. I made 3 variables, E, c, and m. Using that, I made C be multiplied by itself, then M multiplied by that. Then, using a conditional branch, I told RPG maker VX, that if M equals E, it would say correct, otherwise, incorrect. Now the system here doesn't include C^2 only because it's already gone by multiplying it with M. Now I made a few more events, one to tell whether it's correct or not, and the other 2 are M and C. I did a constant, where neither M or C equal anything above 0, so pretty much 0. I then made C equal 1. I guess it was because I forgot to make something to make it a real equation that can be done, by adding the choice to answer your own E=MC^2 thing, but it must of took M to be 0, since no value was assigned to it. When I put 1 in C, as I said before, it should of came out 0 though. Because 1 x 1 = 1 x 0 = 0
So, the answer said incorrect, and I tried again a few more times, and it still didn't work. This means, if we were to live in the world of RPG maker, or at least RPG maker VX, the speed of light must not exist to let the equation work. Because apparently, you cann't multiply multiple variables, or else the only time it will be correct is 0.
Anything above 2 variables is false, and so RMNverse cannot exist, because the physics of our universe isn't the same as it, since RMNverse apparently runs off of RPG maker physics, seeing as it has the name RPG maker in it, as in RPG maker Net Universe. Just saying. XD
My experience with this experiment with make Enterbrain pay ME money! Muahaha! Just kidding. I was just joking around with RPG maker and wanted to show you guys what I found. :3
Hope you like it!

Plot Scenario Generator

I found this on a Vsauce video, and it can help for people who lack ideas of their own to making an RPG story. You definetly needa characters and other RPG elements, but this could get you started!

http://www.archetypewriting.com/muse/generators/plot.htm

It pretty much works like this. It gives you something to start your story with, and an idea to keep the story going, or a problem. Sometimes, if you want, the first line can actually be the first line of your game...somewhat. I hope this helps you people out there. :3
