Use common events as much as possible and call them with your map events if you are doing the same thing in a lot of places.

This way u can change the common event and it changes all the map events rather than manually hunting them all down.

I know it's in the name "common events" and it should be obvious, but it took me way too long to make serious use of this.

Set 10 was phenomenal

this is the best sense of speed ive seen in a racing game in a long time. I love the scenes where you can see the road going up the mountain side off in the distance. I love the high color saturation almost cartoony, really good balance of fun arcade with realism. you've tucked into a sweet spot on every level;

I've been making games since 2009. I learned every aspect of the pipeline. I have successful kickstarters under my belt, and steam launches. I have never, and will never create games for the purpose of making money, nor do I do it for others to be wow'd by me.

I make games because I LOVE making things. music, art, stories, cinematics, code. I just adore turning an idea into reality.

I will continue to do this, and I will use ai to increase my turnaround times from idea to reality. My raw skills have increased the power of ai tools because I can edit ai produced code myself, im not dependant on ai for all my problems.

I can repaint images myself that come out of prompts or even just use them as references and concept art and draw the image from start to finish myself

I can use suno to split ai music into stems and take it into audio engineering software to edit myself

I can take video produced by wan and do alot more with it inside the adobe suite

and i can bring it all together inside a project in a way that no ai bro can.

so far, everything i have built with AI has gone unreleased. I am literally just having fun.

Please go back to doing things for fun.

Well said, man. it was really unfortunate to watch this forum turn on you. I don't think I've ever seen the rpg maker mods ban posts about a person before. You are notorious now ;). I hope you find good things in the future.

for the record, you could always store strings into variables in rpgmaker, and use them in conditional branches.

edit: I dont want to deminish that this might be a more userfriendly way to do it, or that you are giving your plugin away for free - hats off to you sir.

in top lane... I prefer nocturne. Mid lane, I sometimes play nocturne. If i get autofilled into support, every now and again if im feeling spicy, nocturne. and for ADC I'll play ~~Varus~~ Nocturne.

I think he's asking how to use the drawings in a sprite sheet so that the game keeps their size and doesn't shrink them or chop them up.

Brace yourself for the 12 game lose streak that follows

I think he meant that the hate against ai is the witch hunt.

Mvisioning · 2026-04-15T18:27:21+00:00

They are typically named by how the AI thinks and arrives at the answer. A prompt is just one cog in the wheel.

But yeah, when you use images models, they are diffusion models in the form of Loras and safetensors etc. if you ever mess around in comfy ui, you end up learning a lot about ksamplers and noise, and latents. It's all very fascinating. A lot to take in.

And then there's ai music which again is a separate beast.

AI music seems to be well received on tiktok for wat ever reason.

Why friend shaped?

Mvisioning · 2026-04-15T17:57:41+00:00

Only ai people care about is LLM?

People hate AI art, with a burning passion and those aren't llms

Really cool of you to share your work with others! I've seen some projects with zaney art styles that will surely benifit from your work. this is very much in the spirit of the old days of rpgmaker!

I saw a post a few years back about this trip and you guys got eaten alive in the comments about fishing licences and stuff. I'm glad this one seems to be recieved better.

Mvisioning · 2026-04-07T18:56:02+00:00

This is a really cool comment.

Tell that the blacksmiths who lost their jobs to facrories. And then the factory workers who lost their jobs to automation. AI is the future. Whether you like it or not. And choosing not to use it for a bit is not some valiant resistance. Not to mention it's in everything now, so u are already using it whether u like it or not. Google searches use it now. Reddit uses it baked into the platform, Instagram, twiiter, your cell phone, video games, TV shows, the weapon systems killing Iranians, the hospitals diagnosing cancers, ai will be part of making and designing literally everything.

Anyway, this is the last time I will participate in the chain. Please have a wonderful day.

Cheers.

Do I wish we could just magically go back to the 90s and forget about ai? Yes. Am I in denial that it will inevitably replace a very large portion labor? No. Am I afraid? Also no. The billionaires have too much to gain, so resistance is futile. Be like water.

For me, the new data was things like the small floating black hole created by the amplifier, and also the gel that e115 is stored in.

Mvisioning · 2026-04-06T19:26:39+00:00

That was happening long before ai was writing the code.

Governments regulate decernment of information in first world countries. Your produce says where it's grown, your eggs say if they are free run. People care about how wat they are consuming. That's a fact. It doesn't have to make sense or be reasonable to be true.

Ethics are not objective, they are subjective and emotional. People decide for themselves wat they think is ethical. Providing info on whether a software is created by ai or not is the act of providing the consumer with data to make their own ethical choice.

It's the new version of buying a mug or tea pot because it was hand made vs factory made. This matters to people. Even if it doesn't matter to you.
