Anyone need a RPG VX mapper?

Are you only limited to VX? Because I have a couple of collab projects I'm starting/working on for 2k(3)/XP. And, I think them maps are pretty good.

I dunno if this should go here, but...

...Here's the grammar to a language I've been working on, figured I should get it out there. This was actually the first language I ever did, and so I decided a couple months ago to completely redo it, now instead of being an Indo-European clone it's a Finno-Ugric clone with Nez Perce & Japanese features, yay!

I'm probably the only person excited about this, but, whatever, I suppose. xD

There you guys go.

How do you pronounce Yggdrasill? I have no idea how to begin to pronounce that.
Say the "Ygg" part as "Igg" (as in "Iggy"), and the rest normal. That particular pronunciation I heard somewhere in Valkyrie Profile 2 - Silmeria, and it sounded oddly correct to me. However, I'm not an expert on these things.


You could also use this anglicised pronounciation as well, but, the Old Norse pronunciation is so much more fun. ;D

Game Idea

/yɡ.drɑ.sil/

Y is pronounced EE but with rounded lips, a is pronounced like the a in spa for New York or London English speakers, so like an AW sound d is always pronounced like d never like j like in dream, g is always hard g never soft like in Gerald, l is pronounced like the l in well, like, never like in milk or mail (never pharyngealised), and i is prenounced similar to y but without the rounding of the lips.

everybody wants to be the ideas guy


We're a community of ideas guys, and/or gals. ;D

@MrChearlie That sounds good to me, I agree two heads are better than one.
We can correspond either through PM here or MSN, whichever's more convenient.

Now, I just hope more heads would like to find themselves attached to this body?

Game Idea

Right now, I just want to make the thing. I mean, I want to do both, have entirely original content and make the thing. But, I figure, the game can always be remade, and right now, the most important part is telling the story.

Game Idea

So, I'm working on a game in RM2k and was wondering if anyone would like to do a collab. This project is not related to the Stella project other than a few terms.

The story is this:

After losing her husband to war and her first born child to plague, Freyja is driven mad with grief and thus decides to find a new purpose in life. She does this by joining, in her husband's footsteps, the military, though she initially does so in secret, as women weren't allowed in the military in medieval times, no matter how much RPGs will tell you they were.

So, all well and good, she becomes one of the most prized military officers in her country of Vinland. But, alas, her secret comes out, and she is set to be executed, when the gracious king Karl Magnus IV comes up with a better solution. They had been seeking a champion to undertake a great quest to investigate the appearance of fell beasts around the great root of the world tree Yggdrasill, Oeppenhet, and she, with her proven loyalty to the crown and strong character was seen as the best choice.

Freyja, though her desire to be in heaven with her husband and child were strong, greatly feared death, and so took the king's offer.

And that's all I really have so far, don't want to spoil too much after all, anyway, if anyone's interested in working on this idea with me, you know, well, erm, reply to this thread I s'pose.

What's your favorite transportation in an RPG?

The Flying Squirrels in Madou Monogatari. They were adorable. <3

Religion in games

I think the Church of Martel in Tales of Symphonia is an example of religion done right. I mean, by the end of the game I was truly wondering whether Mithos was right and my own party were the villains. But that just goes with the overall theme and mood of the game. What's right? How do we know what's right?

Pixels

This is as good as i get, what am i doing wrong?

I can't seem to get precise enough, and when i oversize the pixel, i don't quite see what i'm doing.


It's a good start. My advice to you. Start small. Do 16 x 16 sprites and work your way up. Familiarise yourself with the small and the large becomes easy.
