Not even going to point out how I said there were only two things I realized, even though I gave 3? Also, yes. It was actually Nisage who reminded me of here, after he got RMVX and RMVXAce on my new computer. I'm hoping to try and actually use RMVXAce to build an idea I've had for a while. I don't want to spoil it too much, but just for a bit of what I'm going to use... "The end comes before the beginning."

So as some of you may know, its been a long while since I've worked on any RPG Maker... So I just wanted to know what everyone here uses as ideas for making a game. What ends up being the first thing you think of when developing the game? The story? The scripts (such as getting a good equipment screen and proper battle system)? Do you think of the villain that will do a cliché thing and try to conquer the world or build the hero up who will do what is right? Do you draw out the world first so you can map out (ha!) what will be where or form the world after you already know when it will be important? In case you just decided to skim over that entire paragraph for this much smaller sentence, the question is: What do you plan out first when making an RPG game? Quick edit before I forget: I wasn't 100% sure where to put this... I still actually have to reread all of the forum rules, so sorry if I broke one or nine of them.

Just looking through the forums made me realize two things. 1) RPG Maker VX Ace? I thought RPG Maker DS was still the newest one or did I imagine that 2) I knew minecraft was big, but it even reached here? Granted, I have it myself so I shouldn't be surprized... 9) I really need to reinstall RPG XP, RPG VX, and RPG VX Ace now...

So ya... Its been ages since I've been on here and it actually took me a while to remember which password I use for here. Recently got a new computer, which is probably why I forgot about here since I didn't save all of my bookmarks. I probably won't be here as often as most, but I hope to be more active than I once was.

I may be doing some advertising... but I figured anyone on this forum that has played this game should know that its back! If you haven't played the game, or don't even know what BYOND is, click the following links depending on what you want. BYOND's main page. Getting Started with Byond. Digital World Story on BYOND. Digital World Story's forum. Anyway, onto my free advertising. Digital World Story is, of course, a multi-player online game, in which you can interact with other people online. The role that you (and everyone else in the game) takes is as your own Digimon Tamer. You start off choosing between several starting digimon; Gomamon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Demidevimon, Agumon, Patamon, Palmon, and Hagurumon. From here, you begin to experience the main aspects of the game as you train, level, and even capture new digimon. As a fair warning, however, Patamon is difficult for people new to the game to start with, so follow the guide I actually made to level a patamon all the way up to a Seraphimon here. Their really isn't that much more I can explain about the game that can't be explained on the forum, so just try following the link I provided above and trying the game out. Their isn't that much of a story line, something about a legend of Rookies being stronger then Megas... but I'm not sure what that really means. I'm semi-active on Digital World Story, and I'm always willing to help you as best as I can/should. ^^ Oh, before I forget, their are a few rules that should be followed. However, I can't seem to find them and post them here. :sweatdrop:

Enigma, I'm just wondering how far you are in eventing this. I tried this myself, and it seems almost impossible to get different items from different enemies... :sweatdrop:

Their actually already is a way to have rain appear in VX. Make a new event, then use the option "Set Weather Effects..." to begin choosing one of three different types of weather for VX; Rain, Storm, and Snow. It also comes with a power setting (how strong is your storm) and how long you want to wait before the full storm kicks in. (For quick storms, set the wait time to 1 frame, and uncheck the "Wait For Completion" box.) From their, it actually isn't that hard. Have fun with your storm, Kimayushi. ^^

...I'm almost afraid to ask this. What is Minecraft? I'm actually scared that if I google this, I might find myself and my semi-addictive personality hooked on the game. It just seems that good. :sweatdrop:

I've been in a long-time development of my game, so I'm sorry if I take a while to respond to this. I'm working on a unique character, a herbalist, right now. The skills this character has access to will* include things like throwing plant bombs at enemy(s) and summoning a plant-type enemy to attack, and such skills like that. My only concern is that I want a skill for this character to be... different. I'm not sure if this can be set up by an event, or if scripting is necessary, but I need a skill (All iz Plants) that will always give a specific item whenever it kills an enemy. Here are several examples to explain this easier. ~~Ex. 1~~ Enemy A has 300 HP. Herbalist casts All iz Plants! Critical Hit! Enemy A takes 734 damage! Enemy A has been transformed into a Medicinal Herb. Team is victorious. ~~Ex. 2~~ Enemy A has 300 HP. Enemy B has 1000 HP. Herbalist casts All iz Plants! Critical Hit! Enemy A takes 734 damage! Enemy B takes 712 damage! Enemy A has been transformed into a Medicinal Herb. Enemy B has 288 HP left. If that didn't make any sense, I could try and make it easier to understand... :sweatdrop: P.S. Sorry again that I've been away for so long. My game is taking up a lot of my time while I'm out of school.

Not to be repetitive, but it really does depend on what boss you use it for. The song alone seems to fit "Any generic Demon boss" but I don't think it could fit "Any Final Boss."

Not to be offensive, but I don't know you at all. :sweatdrop: Anyway; if you need any help, just PM Polraudio. (Don't PM me if you need any help quickly, though I'm always willing to try and help. Just... PM Pol first)

I may not know what it's like to love/like someone as much as you do, Eco, but I can tell you this. (First, I would like to point out that I am in no way responsible to the actions caused by the following statements of this post. Just so I don't have the legals on my a**) This kinds of things happen. If you feel that you really love her, and I mean REALLY love her, then you should tell her. You shouldn't just blurt it out somewhere in public, but somewhere and however you feel is best. You can only really know about your feelings, but you have no idea how she feels about you. Hell, Maybe she still has some feelings for you. However, don't get your hopes up. Also, you should ONLY tell her how you feel if you honestly feel that way for only her and no one else. I know she dumped you, but you may still have a tiny, itty-bitty shot for her heart. Besides, you day was better then mine mostly are (Boring, with a small chance of angry which will quickly be replaced with no emotion. I'm not much of an "emotions" person, but I'm trying to fix that). [/emotionaltalk]

If your a fan of the classic Megaman, then I think I found the perfect video for you to see. If your indifferent about the classic series, this is still funny. Youtube Video -> I don't own this video or any part of Capcom's ownership of the Megaman Series. Just thought I'd get that out of the way. Edit: As for the poll, I've always been a fan of the Battle Network series. Not for the anime (never really cared to watch it), but for the games (Battle Network 3 over most of them, tied with Battle Network 6).

I "skimmed" the article a little, and I really only have one word to say to that. Before you open the spoiler below to figure out what that word is, however, I would like to note that young people (I can only assume those under 16, but I'm not sure) really shouldn't look at it. Many people rely on the cheap prices of used games because we're unable to get the games we want if their new and, while I could go into an unnecessarily long details on how this is DonkeyPoop (you know what I really mean), I guess I really should read the article... Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait for when the good games have their prices forcibly lowered in order for the to sell better.

I can really only take that as an insult, although I'm sure you don't mean it that way. My Senior Year is the equivalent of medieval torture. It's just that bad... :o

...its nothing, just ignore it. I'd edit it, but I just don't feel like it.

That's news to me. I've remember that for when I'm gone for any period of time over 3 months. Wait, I ment "if I'm gone..." Also, how am I typing this out when I could just edit the sentence... :pinch: Ok, now to just go back and edit that first line before I click

Yes, they lie. ...Ok, maybe they don't lie. But I would like to point out that I never DID say them, and that I only typed them out with a keyboard. :shifty:

I not sure where exactly this should be put, so I'm just posting this in the Café section for now. Please move this if its in the wrong area. Just so you know, I'm not a zombie or some other undead monstrosity. I'm also sorry that I haven't been on RMXPU for a long time. I could give a long, possibly pointless, list of reasons why I wasn't on if I didn't feel like wasting your time. :alright: I would like to point out, however, that I have been working on my latest attempt at an RMVX game (I've mostly been having to restart the entire idea since I could never figure out how to move the plot along. This time, however, I decided to make the ending BEFORE I make the start, and this has actually helped me out.) and that I will attempt to be on here as often as I can. Just so you know, however, I'm in school and... it's my senior year. :shok: This means that the time I can even spend on my computer is short due to mass amounts of work and, something my school has been doing for some time, some big ''project'' that each student has to do in order to graduate. Enough of my ranting, welcome me back already. I've been gone for to long, after all. :biggrin_002:

I'd tell you to go find someone else but then I'd just be copying Polraudio, so I really can't say much else. Either the Tester is biased against you or is just retarded, but I'm not the one who said it (It was you, reading this right now).
