1198
Close
Illustrator with a weird obsession with RPG style games, specifically SNES style RPGS or PlayStation style RPG's. If it wasn't for DND, there wouldn't be any of them!!! A lot of my games and the like, are Final Fantasy inspired, though I do draw experience from playing other games, and just life in general. I go by thedarkdreamer and ZENWARE. Though my main profession is in illustration, I have gotten very high GPA both in high school and art college. I was going for the style and works of higher children's books or comic books, though I haven't made a lot of progress with that because of...
life. There I said it.
I have also published two books, The Dogs of Narberth, and The Rescue Pups, and a third book is coming out soon. I do write.
I have only "officially" made two games but they weren't great. I have been working on Twisted Fate for a long time though. I don't know why I'm stuck on this. I guess because 'that' was 'really' my ACTUAL first "game". But life.
Life.
I have a couple completed games but they are edits. For people who are interested, I have A LOT of things I want to do but the problem I'm running into is TIME and really, deadlines and real world projects, and other things I am working on, for those who are actually interested:

I must be partially crazy!! So many projects. (A lot of repetition as well)...
In terms of...the projects, I still float between old games that other people did, and now looking back on things I previously did. I'm doing a bunch at once, though I feel like I do one for a bit then go to another one, then that same kinda thing happens. Though now, I'm trying to do FINAL FATE (which is an old one), The Adventures of Dyluck (aka me hahah), and an obscure one based off a game I was doing called IN DREAMS I "CRESCENDO", based off "THE DARK DREAMERS". I basically set myself up for one, then I get tired or distracted and head onto another one. I hate this really.

RPG Maker and depression.
I guess this can go for any maker, though I am wondering something.
Can RPG Maker possibly cause depression? At a point in my life, I was depressed. Like really depressed. And I think it could be coming back.
NOT FUN.
Though now I know the programs so well, that I feel like when I'm on the program for too long or long periods of time, I feel like I get weird. I have no idea if that's a cause.
Has anyone experienced some similar effects? I have a status effect of sadness and it ain't going away! Wha hey! Any advice?

[RM2K] [RM2K3] Resources for Battle Chars....where though?
This is another one but besides Charas.net is there another resource website that I can find BattleCharSets? Seems like the BattleChars I want, do not exist. Therefore I'd have to do them. Dunno if VIRPG even has them. Not really sure. There were ones in circulation but it seems like they're harder and harder to find because people have moved beyond the old makers by now. D: I'm one for the nostalgia, pup!
[RM2K3] [RM2K] Sound on Crit?
I don't know who does RM2k since RM2k3 is a step up, as much as me BUT...
Is there anyway to make a sound when a critical hit lands? I dunno if that is even remotely possible in either one, dunno how that would work.
I have been getting cranky and snappy as I get older I guess because I'm trying to get more out of artistic and creative labors!

[RM2K3] [RM2K] RM2k can actually do HP and SP Regen...
Each weekend, I spend time working on games and whatnot. Though it's also have been a discovery, of things I have not done yet with Rm2k or Rm2k3, at least in a game or that. And I don't know if anyone has known this about Rm2k, but Rm2k CAN do HP and SP regeneration!! It can! Though one minus I have not solved, that HP and SP regeneration CAN'T happen in battles via a skill or conditions. The more I mess with Rm2k, the more I figure out cool things, actually.
Last two weeks I managed to make a level 100 in rm2k. At least kind of. The only catch though is that it's character replacement, and then modding stats. I say kind of because meh. It's still 'buggy' I guess. Though I figured out some HP Regen and SP regen.
To have an item with HP and SP regen, it's not too complex. In a common event,
make a conditional branch to a character that has an item equipped, like an accessory or even armor.
@>Conditional Branch: [Hero] has [Golden Armor] equipped
Then, all you have to add is a change to HP, or SP, or even both if that is the case.
@>Conditional Branch: [Hero] has [Golden Armor] equipped
@> Change HP: [Hero] +10
@> Wait: 1.0 seconds
@>
: Else
@>
: Branch End
Then in order for your party to have the same effect all you have to do is copy the same thing and apply it for each member. Though make this event in the common events as a Parallel Process.
Pretty nifty, though it happens in the background while you're walking around, and I guess I forgot a 'state' for HP regen, though in RM2k States are a bad thing. So I guess for that it doesn't make much sense. :O
I'm a Wizard I guess. Oh lol.

[RM2K] RM2k to Level 100....Kind of.
RM2K can't go to level 100 D: I am having a problem, where my characters in my game are already near 50 and it's only like 30% in, maybe.
Though, there is a catch that I'm figuring out.
I had 'copied' every character, and then set their stats at their level 50 digits, then added their stats by 200+ and voila! So in theory the level 50's are now at level 1 for example,
Nicholas Lv 50 (Now 1) -> Nicholas (when at "100")
Max HP 500----------------700
Max SP 400----------------500
ATK 180----------------380
DEF 160----------------360
S.FOR 300----------------500
AGL 320----------------520
So 50 is now 1 on the 'new' characters if you're following this...
Though in the game, the game will have to 'remove' the initial characters and then add the level 1 level 50 characters to your party. Though now their experience is lame, the curves I made I cranked the curves to 50, 50, and then with acceleration I had made characters needed more EXP or less. I sure wish though there was some easier way to make RM2k go to level 100. It's like a gimmick, trick. Though in the game, the characters have learned skills from items, which I made a common event that checks the characters learned skills, and "adds" the skills to the low level 50's if that makes sense?? This seems sort of complex just for things to work.
Though I also discovered something with Conditional Branching, yet I have to science this. So if each character is Level 1 (who are level 50's), I made a Common Event "Current Level Replacement/Rep". In it there conditional branch has a character at 1 or more, then a line that has changing the Nickname to a name - Level 51. :/ Hmm. Not bad but a lotta command lines to do that, especially for EACH CHARACTER. Long Event is long. Kinda really annoying!
I almost wonder if I should make it like Dragon Warrior Monsters where next to their names they could be +1's or +2's??? I dunno on that. Maybe some help with that.
Am I doing this right? Seems ligit??? The pups want my game to work. They do.

[RM2K3] [RM2K] Suddenly, RM2k decides to give up. Why.
This is a weird thing that RM2k and RM2k3 does, I was using my computer yesterday like normal, but when I boot up RM2k or RM2k3, every single key ceases to function at all when it's running in game. And I can still hear music playing and the graphics are fine.
Then when I restart my computer and run it again, everything is fine.
What is that? It's happened to me a lot and I can't figure out what's going on with the programs. It's this weird "RM2k decides to give up" for no real reason.
I have no idea. Ram?? I only had two programs running. Can't be video either.
It's like life came in and said STAP and then it did. 0_________________________0

[RM2K3] [RM2K] RPG Maker's...environment???
I'm a popular poster on here, aren't I. Hohoho.
I'm aware that the newer RPG Maker's use Ruby for coding, don't know about XP, but what was 2000 and 2003 using to create it's environment? I think someone I knew said they were with Javascript. Whenever I look at maps and other files just in plain text it doesn't seem like syntax or anything familiar.
I guess right now, I'm trying to figure out, how much computer memory they use. And just how they're making the windows appear, text, and graphics appear.
Just curious...

[RM2K3] [RM2K] Liability. :o
Though I am working on multiple projects in free time and all, I'm curious now. Would one, be able to sell games when they are done? One catch though, is that some sounds and other resources have ripped music and sounds from previous or other RPG Makers - theoretically, I could 'rewrite' the music via Reason or other audio programs, or recreate sounds though time is of the essence - How sick would that be though? I always wanted to make a decent game though that is a bit of an issue. I've only done a couple and I'm also busy illustrating books and making a lot of money selling illustrations of pups! Hence why I do it currently NOT for profit...
I'm also pretty aware of the license agreement.
Pretty sure that most will say I should stay away from that and stick with the essentials though.
Cuz roughly right now I'm doing Valora. That'll probably be just a plain ol download for many!

Making a PS1 rpg maker game standalone exe
I have too many questions. I know. I'm not dumb I'm just a curious creator of curiousness. Whatever.
So my computer is getting fixed. A very sad day. Though I downloaded the RPG Maker PS1 game on my android. Not great but eh. :/ Though that isn't the question....
If I finished a game with the PS1 game, would there be a way to make it into an EXE file? I have no idea. That would be kinda cool. I already know how to get files off a phone and that sort of a thing. That isn't hard. This would make it so it could be a standalone game. That would be cool!

[RM2K3] Maniacs Help
Recently I had downloaded the maniacs patch for rm2k3 and it is....really nice. Like whoah. New functions and sick things. Though I have questions about it. Because I have no idea what some of the features can DO or achieve.
Like if I wanted messages for attack buffs and that, would I have to make a common event that references that, then having eventing in battles?
are there more saves now? how would that work? looks like there is a 'global save' function now. whatever that means. I kinda remember posting something on having more saves in rm2k3 months ago.
Not clueless though. Very curious. May update this Q&A later.
