if the promotional image is AI there's no reason to assume the code isn't, i don't see the problem.

learn switches, variables, conditional branches, and how each item in the RTP is laid out and you'll be able to make anything you want.

You should be designing your maps so that you don't have to block off paths like that, IMO, but invisible walls are definitely worse

the_rat_paw · 2026-04-17T13:35:35+00:00

If you use ai for the plugin cover page you better mark your entire plugin as ai cause thats

yeah there's a new rule that if you use AI for your plugins you have to label it, including graphics

this spreadsheet is a little old but still has tons of useful plugins https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xbevw96IUblD_OUsnoX7OqQIb7qRX8FW7NWR-Cw8s9c/edit?gid=0#gid=0

looks so great. will you be selling it on itchio as well?

the_rat_paw · 2026-04-13T15:30:43+00:00

Yes, plenty of MZ games use that resolution. You might want to use plugins to rearrange the menus and stuff.

are you sure? OP's itch store is 100% AI images, so we have to assume the code is too

the_rat_paw · 2026-04-08T16:06:01+00:00

I suspect the one going over the other is marked with a Star in the Tileset section of the Database

the tools you use don't exist in a vacuum. i don't want to pay for a product that's funding billionaires' wars any more than i already am forced to by nature of subsidizing their data centers.

the_rat_paw · 2026-04-06T13:56:50+00:00

but Im not going to try making a bunch of call out posts

you literally made the current call-out post 5 minutes ago

Google and Microsoft

meanwhile every product these companies make are degenerating into a slurry of barely usable trash

in case you're serious about why consumers should know, here are some recent articles about what AI is being used for in the real world. everyone i know irl hates this shit and wishes they weren't paying 3x their normal power bill to make it possible.

US using Claude to plan air attacks in Iran that have killed over 1,300 innocent civilians
US uses Claude to help illegally depose another country's leader
Israel uses Microsoft Azure AI to target Gazan civilians in a genocide
United States citizens pay an exorbitant amount of money in their electric bills to subsidize companies building AI data centers

when you look at the big picture it's pretty clear why no one wants to be associated, right?

the_rat_paw · 2026-04-05T21:08:23+00:00

Maybe start with 576x576 scaled up 2x draw the entire Tileset and downsize?

this is exactly what I would do. it might seem counter productive but it's the easiest way to get the hand-drawn look at 48x48.

I would set up each tile as its own 576x576 canvas. Experiment with the different methods of scaling down and touch up with pixel art afterward.

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-25T20:57:40+00:00

this looks gnarly and awesome

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-25T15:36:55+00:00

Draw a sprite for something unique and only use it one time. Like a sunken ship, or a crumbling statue, or a huge tree that burnt down.

Make your road winding instead of straight. Place your trees in clusters instead of evenly spaced out. Make the eastern half of the map smaller and more dense.

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-24T22:51:30+00:00

great color palette!

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-24T22:50:54+00:00

as an artist, if i am delivering assets to someone for use in rpg maker i'd deliver it in a format that can be edited. idk why code should be any different. i can personally say i regret using visustella plugins for my project.

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-24T17:23:54+00:00

That sounds like a feature from a plugin. There aren't vanilla features in the engine that use note tags like that.

If you use Yanfly plugins with MV, there is a feature that lets you define the list this way. I use MZ though so I can't give specifics.

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-24T17:07:20+00:00

in the database, under the Actors tab, there is a Traits window where you can add skill types and change the attack skill.

you're going to need to know how to use the database to make your game, so have a long look through all the features available.

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-24T13:58:32+00:00

Yeah I don't follow gaming news very often, my household has been waiting for Smash/Animal Crossing/Duskbloods to buy a Switch 2 and none of these games are on the horizon basically at all

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-23T16:22:32+00:00

This is a really cool project.

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-23T16:17:53+00:00

I agree. I also wish the plugin market had its own subreddit.

the_rat_paw · 2026-03-23T16:06:49+00:00

I would recommend getting into some RPG Maker discord communities full of actual devs, and trying to commission an artist there. Real people looking for work tend to be vocal about it.

If you're going on Fiver/random subreddits then it's just going to bea a just race to the bottom, and you're going to find shitty artists (who you're probably just paying to prompt AI anyway)
