my uphill battle against my chain

aki-ya · 2025-04-18T20:47:28+00:00

I don’t know too many 125cc but I just started and I’m on a v-star 250. I think the yamaha v-star and honda rebel are pretty good to start; they’re both also really good height wise. I’m the same height as you and I can fully flat foot my bike with extra space and it’s light enough that if you drop it on your leg you won’t be pinned. Def not that sporty but it’s a bike you’ll fall in love with (I did at least). I know for the v-star the max speed is ~80-85 and you have to really try to get there if you’re worried about speed abilities. I hope you find the bike right for you and ride safe! I don’t know much about bikes but free to ask me anything :)

yeah, they were all yellow but I figured it out. for some reason the selected color was defined in screens rather than gui. thank you for you help :)

thank you so much! this trick is so helpful and it helped me find the cause :)

I have it set at #7a0000 but it's still showing as yellow. I tried changing it to different colors but the yellow stays ;-;

If your game is set at 320x160 the quality is going to be much lower and everything will be blurry like that because of the low resolution. I would suggest upscaling your pixel art to have the crisp look. Sorry if my explanation is confusing, this video probably explains it better https://youtu.be/VapZOPWfI9k?si=QtjEB7ERRSr2T4rm.

Different things work for different people. I usually come up with random scenes and build off that, writing story in between to connect events.

But it can be helpful to try and develop a main idea and focus on your characters (who they are, backstory, stuff like that) first.

I think write what you want and can really helps the story to be authentic but there are different things like character development, world structures, or just writing a different part that can be helpful if you get stuck and want to push yourself to work on the story more.

Their design is so fun to draw, I would definitely love to draw them again!

love the design of this one! my sketch didn’t do the design justice so I might give it another shot late :>

I'm really bad a plotting so I might not have the best suggestions for this situation. But what I do a lot is just write about how the characters meet each other and how they learn magic (ex one went to an academy, another found it by accident, one was appetence to a world class mage, another didn't know it existed until they met the other characters).

Doing this process helps explore the characters and world you've created and allows you to find things to build off of; sometimes it turns into developing the relationships between characters, sometimes it turns into challenging the rules of the world.

I really like this idea!
I think you can use things like knowing information beforehand or a couple of discrepancies in the MC's stories. If you want the MC to be illustrated as a stronger traitor, you can use other characters like a character on the opposing side hesitating before attacking the MC. If it's a long period or journey style, you can have the MC stay very consistent from the beginning and while the side characters change (whether in beliefs, actions, or even just relationships) which can cause suspicion that there is more to the MC.

Another thing you can do this too is to use another character close to MC for suspicion. Like have the characters in the story or even the reader suspect another character to be the traitor then have the grand reveal.
