SLIMEBORGI'S PROFILE

I'm just a guy who enjoys pixel art and 2D games.(I like 3D also)

I've always wanted to make a game and now I'm trying to do so. Still don't know all the ins and outs of RPG Maker, but what I do know is this...

It can be a great game engine given to someone with an imagination!

"Fan games can still ruin your life. Please stop believing otherwise."

@Kentona
That's pretty unfortunate.
That was likely on Disney's part, assuming they had already bought out Marvel at the time you got that email. Especially with all the MU movies and merchandise and being a huge huge money pot for them. They are notorious for being ASC on a whole other level. (All Seeing Company)

I know there's exceptions, but I think many companies don't care or just don't have the time for it.

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

I'm doing eventing for monster recruiting...

so 10 slots, each monster that's recruited can fill one of those slots. I'll have 20 monsters for the next demo.

Great, 200 slot choices. Each monster class will have a randomly generated name (4 choices) so 80 names to think off.

Each battle with a recruit-able monster will need to be scripted as such.

If I want the monster to have a random speech pool for when you talk to the party that is another 100 lines to think of.

I haven't timed my rate of doing this but there's tons of command/script lines to pull this off. This is one of those things you don't want to make a mistake otherwise you are rereading lines upon lines....

Oh and one more thing... I need to add them to the sprite changing common-event so they become little coffins when they die and turn back into the right monster when brought back.

"Fan games can still ruin your life. Please stop believing otherwise."

They'd have to pin point the person who made the game.
As with pokemon prism, it still got "leaked" and now some other group is handling it.

Companies usually don't care especially if it's an older ip, look at all the fangames on this site. Most are still here most use rips. Then think of all the mario rom hacks and such.

It's a risk but on the same level of downloading movies/music illegally IMO. I could be wrong, but when's the last time you heard anyone you personally know get in trouble for that?

No one has the time to round up all these people.(Yet) They can't find them and don't really care to try and hunt them down since it'd cost money to do that.

Pretentious people who put a face/name/location to there fan games in order to get crowd source funding should get the boot, but that's for being idiotic! They are usually scammers at that.

If there's a paper trail(they sold the game) then finding the person/group just got a little easier.

@slimeborgi:
Ah, my mistake. I thought you were working with Rm2k3 for some reason! RMVX can be a pain. Can you use a special autotile/set of tiles to mimic new coastline, maybe with the help of shift mapping? I know it most likely wouldn't be animated, but it is snow after all... ice?

The monster capturing stuff looks good. I'd suggest having a special character who renames monsters for you, similar to Namingway from FF4 (but for monsters!).


That's what I had planned on doing. Also since the monster farm is so small i think I'll have monsters leave behind a Heart when they are released back into the wild.
These hearts can be used to fuse into other monsters and get newer ones.

Could a Parallax background work for the ice boarders? I don't think a special tileset specifically for Ice boarders will work with the ship/boats. Maybe I'll be able to make the boarders events that lie under the player and change with the times of day.

@Harmonic & Doc Saturn
I pretty much did that, added small details to the snow

@Kaempfer
I'm doing this on RPG VX Ace I wish it used a similar tileset lay out to RPG 2003.


Finally I'm now implementing monster recruiting into the game.


I also added a additional box that shows if a monster can be recruited.

I may also add a box that shows the monsters rarity.

I can't get the name input processing to show up after a battle. So I think preset names will be given then they can be changed afterwards.

For the next demo I'll have 20 recruitable monsters and 10 slots at the monster farm. (Testers will get to try this feature out with less monsters just to make sure everything works)

Should I really end up in the Casino of Tangtl when solving the riddle in the Wisper Caves? I took the last stairs and ...


Yes, Its until I figure out the next floor's puzzle. I think I'll have those floor moving tiles :D. That or something that will require you having a certain item.

(Tidal Bell to summon a shell to float over water)

Here is my report.
I encountered a dump bug in the Loran Mines. (last page)
Please fix this and the Return-Bug first. (page 17)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ez8zlm2jnwysll2/Betatest%20DQ.pdf?dl=0
I was able to minimize it to 19 pages.

Please note me when update is up.

Thanks

Demo Patch 1.4 Quick Patch

Then you must reveal, where to find them.

I'm in the Loran Mines now.


Check book shelves in the castles and towns.
(there's 3 in this little update I also think there was a bug in re meeting the king of Tangtl castle)

This Demo will be compatible with 1.3.

You must use the Eraser before you battle any enemy however!
The Book which will unlock all the monsters to be found will be in the Bazaar Tent with the old man in it. The Eraser will add itself to your inventory once enter the overworld map. Immediately use the Eraser If you are playing from a save!

Demo Patch 1.4 Quick Patch

And even better I've found a means to re apply the monsters using script calls.
Not only will this help with continuing the game it'll help people who may have missed out on a rare encounter. (Metal Slime, Gold Slime etc)
