Help with transparency in custom tilesets

Haha, thanks! As for being new, we've all got to start somewhere.

I'm not sure why VX Ace decided to use "placement on the tileset" as the way to determine if something worked as transparent instead of, say, an option in the tileset tab in the database.

Game Chill 2013

Playing these games and watching the Let's Plays have made me wish I'd joined in and gotten me totally excited.

I'm going to have to try my hand the next time this site has a contest :D

Help with transparency in custom tilesets

I'm a newbie to VX Ace myself, but I'm also using custom tilesets as well. In VX Ace, their seems to placing issue for if something works as transparent over other tiles. An example:



In this A2 tileset, the blue part on the left will NOT work as transparent. On the right, the red part WILL work. So I think you just need to place the hole on the right side. Give that a try.

Hope that helps!

Working Towards a Demo

Thanks! :D

post-apocalyptic Story

Huh, I'm one of the maybe three people in the world who hasn't played the Fallout series, but I did see my old roommate playing it once or twice, so I think that qualifies me to write a similar story.

The player character is in love with a mutant named Takeshi-sempai. But Takeshi-sempai won't date the player character unless he/she becomes the AVATAR OF LOVE. To do so, you must travel to the ruins of the Superdome in the abandoned wreckage of a city once called Tsundertron.

In the center of the superdome ruins, the player finds scattered corpses of the heroes of old who failed to appease the DAEMON OF LOVE. The DAEMON says you must be his new AVATAR and deliver LOVE LETTERS to the survivors of the apocalypse. Each love letter has the CURSE OF TIME cast upon it, and if you fail to deliver the letter before the time runs out, the person the letter is addressed to will never be able to find true love.

After a globe-trotting adventure of handing out the letters, all the people who you delivered a letter to will build you a city that you get to name, but then the citizens will veto your name and call it SWAGSMEGAGRON. There, you will find Takeshi-sempai sitting on the throne that's rightfully yours. He laughs and reveals that this was all a scheme to get the powers of the AVATAR OF LOVE without having to do bullshit letter quests. He pulls a string and the several-stories curtain behind you opens to reveal the HAATO-MECH, a giant robot with a vacuum that he will use to suck up your LOVE AVATAR powers.

After an epic final battle against Takeshi and the mecha, you will ascend to robo-heaven and be congratulated by the machine god for playing a great game. The end.

Pandora's Present

Hooray!

Seriously looking forward to this.

Wisao Nominations~

Can I avoid the jealous and disillusionment if I just never play the game? :P

What elements from existing games would you like to see reused?

On the other hand I also like it when all new characters start at level 1, even further into the game. Often character who join later will get stronger at the same level, but it then requires some time investment. But it's fun to see how the characters grow and what their strong points are in the end.
I've been trying to figure out a game in which you are constantly going back to L1 for some reason (and to make it fun, which is the hard part). That low-level play is usually the most memorable and engaging part of RPGs for me, so... yeah.


I kept going back to Level One in Dragon Quest 3 (like, way more than I needed to) but I'm not sure if that counts, as you keep half of your stats.

Squidstar Legends: Truth of a Legend

Just out of curiosity, why the name "Squidstar Legends?" I didn't notice anything about squids in the story.
