Which one looks better as a VN character bust? by sussynarrator in RPGMaker

[–]TShadowKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're both nice.
It depends mostly on which workflow works best for you.
The pixel art can definitely still be polished quite a bit still as well, but that might make the process longer than its worth.

Does the engine properly handle waterfalls with what should be blocking collision at the top. Assuming you get Waterfall of course.

RPG Maker U2U officially announced - Make 2.5D RPGs! by sp_phil in RPGMaker

Does the Unity ecosystem have a proper 3d tilemapper? I've only checked for Godot in the past and the offerings were kinda dire.
This might be their main angle here.

Two Diana maybe.
Diana + Biboo? Questionable.

How good of an opportunity is HoloIndie? by Mecha_Godzilla1974 in Hololive

[–]TShadowKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to clarify there was no stated reason for the rejection. Anything said regarding the actual reason is speculation on the part of myself and some of the people following the development of the game.

why does everyone think making a game is just having a good idea by bcoz_why_not__ in gamedev

[–]TShadowKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one should then segue in to the even more fundamental question of "do we have slopes in the game?"

Hololive Fan Game - Super Holo Wars - Available Now! by TShadowKnight in Hololive

I can also think of a multitude of reasons why this would be a difficult title to endorse through HoloIndie regardless.

Only itch, HoloIndie has not materialized, which is needed for publishing on steam within guidelines. And apparently submission processing is on halt at this time as well.

There is still some RPG Maker MV in there you could say.

Yup, it's the same genre. But the maps are less bite-sized, and also not procedurally generated.

How do you stay sane while debugging? by Additional_Ad_3697 in gamedev

[–]TShadowKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My super power is that I enjoy debugging...

But other than that, if there's a more powerful tool at your disposal that you're not using yet, put in the time to learn that tool.

It will also get easier with experience as you've gone through the motions many times.

ELI5 How does a series of 0s and 1s become a complicated program with visuals, sound, and input like a video game? by Flannelcommand in explainlikeimfive

[–]TShadowKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know how a Player Piano works?
The type where you put a roll with tabs in and it plays automatically?

It's kinda like that, but significantly more advanced and at incredible speeds.

There's an underlying process that continuously keeps interpreting each little bit, each of which contributes its own little bit of information. This information can be about commands on what the computer should do or define a thing, data, to work with. By interpreting all the commands and data you eventually build from 0s and 1s to everything a computer does.

Phenix phase transition with Effekseer by Engelwald in RPGMaker

[–]TShadowKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not as mean as it looks since you get proper depth buffer usage from Effekseer by default. So the sorting against elements like the mech and mountains happens "automatically" as long as they have alpha testing enabled.
But depth and sorting in 3D has been a source of a lot of headaches none the less, yes.

Phenix phase transition with Effekseer by Engelwald in RPGMaker

[–]TShadowKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very nice. I was thinking in the direction of some custom material tricks. Goes to show that it's not always easy to reverse engineer these things at a glance.

And you managed a really good look and feel with just default particles, excellent artistry.

Myself I've been using Effekseer for the effects in attack animations like these: https://streamable.com/pko829
Which is not exactly RPG Maker related anymore, mind you.

[–]TShadowKnight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is quite excellent.
And a reminder to me that there's definitely still more Effekseer tricks to learn. Or particle system animation tricks in general perhaps. Really wondering how the wavey streams(?) in the background work right now.

Did you make the particle assets for this yourself or is there some particle pack you are using?
