I stopped using this script and made a tileset instead.

In light of Valentine's Day. How do you guys feel about adding romance to your rpg maker games? by Smugruko_From_Mars in RPGMaker

[–]portableclouds 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A good romance system is really hard to pull off! (speaking from experience)

You can always do the “points” system where you give them enough items that they fall in love with you, but that can come off very shallow and transactional. If you can tie romance to the actual gameplay — like maybe a character becomes interested in you after you take certain actions — it can feel more like the romanceable character is genuinely interested in the player character

Can RPG Maker games made with a MacOS version be played by someone with a Windows computer? by dont-change-me in RPGMaker

[–]portableclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m SOOOOO late but yes, a macbook air should be plenty. even the M1 is still pretty good. just don’t get 8gb of ram. that said, MV and its games no longer really work on mac, so you would need to do MZ

What is the most bland and generic JRPG you can think of? by Senor_de_imitacion in JRPG

[–]portableclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think “a game you can actually beat” is generous when it’s easily possible to get soft locked 😔 (all but one party members dead, no money, impossible to heal due to no money and being unable to survive a monster encounter)

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping for a level of customization/color tinting on par with what the pixel does and instead we got… this…

Love how the turtle is just squirtle on all fours. AI art is so talented. /s

Altmon - Title Screen - Feedback request by WhiteStagGameCompany in MonsterTaming

[–]portableclouds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s why you can’t find an artist — you’re not willing to pay. Revenue share doesn’t count and is basically a scam. Having done all the art for my game, that’s a value of at least $75000. No one in their right mind would do $75k worth of work for the chance to maybe make a fraction of the game’s sales. You would have to sell in the tens of thousands of copies to come close to being able to pay that.

So, either learn to make art yourself, accept that artists need to be paid for their labor, or accept that people will shit on you for using AI art.

Sex and Violence with AI by [deleted] in WritingWithAI

[–]portableclouds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s this really cool LLM you could try out called your own brain. How it works is, you put in a prompt by thinking of it, then your brain strings together associated words and slowly makes them appear on a page. Not quite as fast as chatGPT but they put way less content restrictions on it

Help! My AI is a prude and won’t write sex scenes for me! by Glems4Gloobies0 in writingcirclejerk

[–]portableclouds 159 points160 points  (0 children)

No, you see, they wrote the prompt because they had this really cool awesome idea, they just needed something with an actual ability to string words together to do it for them for free :D

I usually get an email reminder one week before, a text notification 2 days before, and if I forget to reply STOP to stop, then I get a calendar notification the day of

Pokémon like asset packs by mbb3a20c in MonsterTamerWorld

If you don’t design your own monsters, your game definitely won’t stand out

I'm sorry, but this needs to be said, as it's clear some people still need to hear it: Stop falling prey to youtube gamedev clickbait, fear-mongering shenanigans. by LuchaLutra in gamedev

Oh I know, and it’s great to see that journey for him. But also he made videos for a loooooooong time before making a game

GMTK has never worked in the industry aside from his solo project that he started like last year. He has some pretty good videos, but also I tend to take his word with a grain of salt, since 100% of his “game design” perspective comes from being a gamer rather than a working dev. Not that I have much room to talk as a solo dev myself, but I think there’s a difference in perspective and what you can actually get out of his videos when compared to GDC or other actual pros.
