Here. Well, lately I've been feeling really crap on and off again. It was gone for about a day and a half yesterday and half of today but now its back :( . No idea what it is. Umm... I haz awesome blue eyes. Am always bored. My sister is evil and always gets better things than be for her birthday (this year - I get a few games and she gets a $900 phone)... Yeah, that's about it. Not too good of a life right about now, but my friends help me pull through it. P.S. Happy Birthday Formlesstree4! 誕生日おめでとうございます、formlesstree君

... Apart from Zoey. She is more popular coz she is smoking hot :drool: .

Barely getting back on track... Finally stopped feeling like #### and back in the mood for some RPG Maker. First order of business, of course, Apocolyptica. Started remodeling the shop script. Nothing major, add a few pics, move certain parts, that's about it. For the main thing I wanted to add I need Leon's help. It's not too much, but just something I can't seem to get my head around. I'll show you guys some screenies of the new shop when its up and running. Still haven't progressed past Rank 4 weapons yet. Not sure why, just not been doing too much work on it as I wanted to. Sometimes I'll have a great idea, hop on, load everything up and then a feeling in my chest like I just don't wanna do this right now. You ever get that? Out of my boredom one dark and quiet night I added the M61 Vulcan Chaingun. Sadly, you guys won't get to use it... Well, maybe, I'll see. It is, by far, the fastest weapon in the game, firing a massive 20 bullets per second and stocking 850 damage per bullet. I've also been thinking about releasing add-on packs for the price of 1 rep point. These add-on packs would feature a new map and 12 new weapons - 3 pistol, 3 shotgun, 3 machinegun and 3 elite. Another note with the add-on pack is I will be attempting over the next few days to make a system that saves your data (Rank, weapons, storage items, etc..) so that when you move from map-to-map with your save you can keep everything you've earnt along the way. I saw one made by EmilyAnnCoons (I think), but never used it yet. I might try on the weekend. Before I add the Rank 4 weapons, I want to get the shop to have its new add-ons, which displays a guns firepower (on a scale from 1 to 10) and firerate (same scale). So that when you scroll through weapons you can see each ones stats before buying-and-trying. While we're on the weapon subject, I remember telling you of 38 weapons - 10 pistols, 9 shotguns, 10 machineguns and 9 elite weapons? Well, now I got 10 of each of the 4 categories. Pretty cool, eh. Just, quickly, I'm sad to report things are going VERY slowly for Hope Afloat. I had the whole next town planned out but as I go along I just can't seem to get it to fit in and work. I'm gonna ask around, some friends I know off the forum on MSN and around my friends, like Lee, who know and help out with some ideas along the way. I got an experiment to try out maybe tomorrow with the Check system. Let's hope it goes well. If I make it the right size hopefully it will work. There are a lot of changes in Apocolyptica that you won't see in Hope Afloat and I want it to surprise some of you. I've got one of my friends, Matt, helping me play-test and balance the game. He played the pre-alpha version from BEFORE I even had the zombie spawning system working (zOMG :o ) so, yeah. Not even he has seen a lot of it yet. With the Special Infected, I now have 14 out of 15 and am stuck trying to figure out what that last 15 will be. If you have ANY ideas please comment it. On a personal note - 3 days until school holidays (I'm probally getting Friday off, woo!) Party at my house. Not really. You guys have been good rats and made it to the end of the maze, but there is no cheese for you... ... Well, maybe just a little :rofl: . See ya guys. Take care. Stay safe - no bites. ~Tomo2000.

I just realised... You misspelt Afloat, you spelt it Aflot. I thought it was just a typo wih the avi file. Awesome work, though :alright: . Once Apocolyptica gets somewhere I'll have to get you to make a trailer for it, too :biggrin_002: .

Wow. Creepy. Not scared of evil clowns, but they are still creepy. I don't understand why people are scared of them... Anyway, great job :alright: .

First off, I feel like ####, I have all day. Bored as hell, in a bad mood. I kinda want to work on an RMXP game but just not in the mood like I usually am. It's been raining all day, that might contribute to my horrid mood. Also, for Lee, Lee is pissed coz, in the new Left 4 Dead 2 DLC - The Passing - They killed Bill from Left 4 Dead... Perminently. R.I.P. William "Bill" Overbeck, 1941 - 2009. -Sigh- What to do, what to do... ... Wow, no emote for being in a #### mood. Apart from this :62: but I'm not like that atm. Hmm... I wonder if theirs any chocolate in the fridge. ... DAMN IT :( . Well, that's my rant... Still dunno what to do.

... Wut? No! Kiriashi is TOO awesome. Kiriashi and Mr. T walked into a building. The building was automatically destroyed. That ammount of awesomeness can not be contained in a single structure. Kiriashi killed two stones with one bird. Kiriashi passed the 9th level on Metro (You know, the one where it starts all over again? Well, Kiriashi got to LEVEL 10!!!) Kiriashi can draw blood from stones. Kiriashi can defeat both Optimus Prime AND Megatron at the EXACT SAME TIME. Kiriashi went to the olympics and when they tested for steriods it came back positive. When they questioned him, he laughed and said; "Where do you think they make steriods from in the first place?" Kiriashi once walked down the street with a massive erection... There were no survivors... Kiriashi caught Missingno. on Pokemon Blue WITHOUT cheats. Kiriashi once played a game of Russian Rulette with a loaded magnum... and won. And, most importantly: Kiriashi invented women!!! And there is 10 reasons why Kiriashi should NOT be banned!

Thanks guys :biggrin_002: . I must admit this topic needs a bump and for me to update it some more :sweatdrop: . I've been working on Apocolyptica quite a lot and am planning the next town for Hope Afloat. This town has quite a considerable ammount of a plot so I gotta plan quite carefully. Thanks for the support, it's nearly been a full year since I started working on this game. 24th of July, to be exact. I did make a new-years resolution to finish Hope Afloat by the end of the year and I get an extra 2 weeks Christmas Holidays :D . Mid-year holidays in 2 weeks or so, and then I'll be able to pass some ideas around with Lee and maybe Greg and figure out how to work out this next chapter. Thanks again guys :alright: . Especially Kiriashi for mapping help and fixing up some of my maps and Leon for helping me with some pain-in-the- :nono4: scripting errors. And, of course, to everyone's whos played it and supported me along the way.

He had a tetanus vaccination.

Also, I just realised something, you have to be 12 to start your pokémon adventure :biggrin_002: .

Mode 7 is not compatable with the ABS, I tried once before. The 'shoot' command is, obviously, the one that allows it to shoot, which creates an event on the screen in that direction, but there is something in Mode 7 that clashes with it. The ABS is very buggy and is uncompatable with about 1/3 of scripts out there. Myself, I don't even like Mode 7, it makes maps look like crap and misplaces priority and places the character on top of the majority of the tileset.

I like the nameless pic, it's awesome. All your work is awesome :alright: I used to be able to draw that good, but now I can't. I'm thinking about changing out of Engineering and swapping it for a good ol' Art class. Anyway, that's beside the point, keep up your awesome drawings and I'd love to see more :biggrin_002: .

Wow. Can't believe I haven't posted here yet. I LOVE POKEMON. I love the sketches :) I remember having the same idea for a grass starter like yours, can't rememeber the names, but male and female were both different when they evolved at level 36. Out of the legendaries, Mariado sounds like my favourite. Good luck with your game.

I got a new favourite song; Somewhere around Nowhere by Apocalyptica. Yes, I was startled by the name. I was talking to my friend, Scott, about my game and the moment I mentioned its name, Apocolyptica, he was like "You listen to them, too?" and I was like ... wutohshizlol. Anyway... It's a good song. No lyrics but an awesome song, no doubt about it. Hope you like it.

As some of you know, my new game Apocolyptica has a random spawning Special Infected system. I currently have 10 Special Infected but was striving for more around 15. Anyway, in this contest, you guys will throw ideas at me and after 2-3 weeks there will be a Poll to see which ideas the people of RMXPU like best. I don't know how many will be added from the Poll, it all depends on how many ideas you guys have. Rules - You can enter as many times as you want - Try to avoid things similar to already existing Infected in Apocolyptica - GL/HF :D The Reward - Your infected will be in Apocolyptica and the custom-made characterset I make will be given to you for use whenever or wherever you need it. The Sheet Use this to fill out details on the infected. Entries: Rated-RKOFranklin: Broken Messiah: RGangsta: DarkGamer: Kiriashi: Well, that's about it. Have fun and good luck, guys.

Well, I've added a few new shotguns but the majority of the newest work is focuses around the Special Infected. Currently, there are 10 Special Infected but I was more striving for around 15. So I set up a contest for you guys to input and vote for Special Infected. The prize is the infected being in Apocolyptica and the characterset I make for it given to you and you can use it in whatever project you may need. Here is the link: Apocolyptica Special Infected Contest I did, also, promise you guys a screenie, right? Well, here's the title screen: Also, as for Special Infected, I will reveal 3 of the newest to you now: -The Ghoul The Ghoul is a reletively weak body but, on death, reanimates the corpses of the already dead infected on the map. -The Knight The Knight is a tough and dangerous infected, who has mutated a carapass-like armor around it's body. -The Spectre It's important to be able to hide in corners to dodge infected in Apocolyptica, and I thought I might challenge that with the Spectre. The Spectre is a semi-invisible zombie with the ability to walk through walls. Anyway, that's pretty much all that's new. I'll keep you posted. Don't forget to post in the Contest.

Unstopable? Indeed. Remember that crocodile you wrestled? Nah, lol. Yeah, Lee finally got internet, guys. So I'd like to be the first to say welcome :alright: .

I am aware of that, and you could have also PMd me. Also, update, I've started working on the town Leanck.

Hey, welcome back Omar :alright: .

Reward: Free beer. Coz, you know, everyone likes free beer.

Well, it's pretty close to my other blog and not much has happened developement-wise, but I'd like to post a lot about concepts, too. Developement-wise; the MK system started crumbling benief my feet. I had to make some pretty significant changes, but now it should be fool-proof. Instead of merging weapon with Token, it's Token with Token and you get the new weapon. I've also added the best shotgun to the game, just for testing purposes. It loads with special shells that have 4 rounds inside itself. It fires 4 rounds each time you press spacebar. If you hold down spacebar, also, it will fire a barrage; 16 rounds in a very short ammount of time. Quite powerful, but the shotgun itself costs 5000 and each shell costs 35. I've started work on adding Rank 4, quite a pain. Need to add 4 shotguns and an extra pistol. First shotgun I need to add is the Pump-action shotgun. Concept-wise, I got a heap of new ideas. I was playing Nazi Zombies on the weekend, the newest map; Der Rise. You get something called Pack-a-punch, costs 5000 and, once the conditions are met, you can upgrade your weapons to pack a SERIOUS punch; explosive rounds, faster fire, more powerful bullets, anything can happen. I'm thinking about adding something like that but not sure how yet. Might save it for later, it would be a heap of work. I was also thinking of adding a random-spawning special infected. It wouldn't spawn too many so, for example, about two per area. They could spawn screamers, infected dogs, even Giant Zombies. Add a little surprise. Each time a special infected would spawn it would make its own noise; Infected Dogs would bark, Screamers would scream, Giant Zombies would make a rather loud moan. I might even add the rare chance of encountering Reapers. Nobody knows what a reaper is yet but they are not to be underestimated. Along with the new boss featured in Jenkins Jepardy; the Infected REDSIN Operative. He is not to be messed with, either; he wears nearly bullet proof armor. Prior testing has shown he can take about 100 M4A1 Carbine bullets. Don't worry, though, the first machinegun you get has about the strength of the Hope Afloat M4A1 Carbine. I've also perfected the zombie spawning system. Now I can start spawning different zombies as the rounds go up. So, for example, at Round 5, 2 Sprinters and 3 Normal Infected will spawn by default. And at Round 10, the 2 normal infected will be replaced by yet another stronger infected, and so on, and so forth. As many of you know, I like a happy ending. The goal of this is to get to the end of the complex and signal a radio. Now this is where my love for Left 4 Dead comes in. Once you signal the radio, you must survive for 10 minutes. This is where the gameplay switches to something similar to Armageddon mode; no rounds, just an endless incoming supply of zombies. Each 10 seconds, the special infected spawner will see if it wishes to spawn special infected. If you survive for 10 minutes, a chopper arrives to pick you up and you have to make a mad dash through a newly-opened area and, in the immortal words, GET TO THE CHOPPER. There will also be checkpoints along the way. A checkpoint can only be used once and can be found in specific areas along the way. Well, that's about it for now. I'll keep you guys updated. ~Tomo2000.

ABS... Indeed. I know of 2 ABS. Blizz-ABS and Mr. Mo's ABS. I prefer Blizz-ABS, much easier to configure. Mr. Mo's ABS is a bit more complex but I haven't dabbled too much into it. I'm fairly sure Mr. Mo's ABS can be found on this website. Blizz-ABS, on the other hand, is mostly found on Chaos Project. Just type "Chaos Project" into google. Hope that helps. ~Tomo2000.

Yeah, but then again, UMS is kinda buggy and, frankly, I find it really annoying. The AMS is much better.

When you go to Materials to import, import it into Pics. You gotta make em first, then import em. You want something like this: You can use this if you want, I just did a quick one with Aluxes. The transparent color is the green. Hope this helps.

Well, first off, this is in the wrong place. Don't worry, I made plenty of mistakes like this nearly a year ago when I first got here :alright: . I don't moderate this area to when one of the mods do come they'll change it. Also, it can be done with Events. When the text appears, just show a picture. Make the picture 640x480 pixels and have the battler in the corner at where you want it. Just remember to set the transparency right and also use the 'Show Picture' command before the text command, otherwise it will appear after the text passes. If you need more help or can't understand what I've just said, just ask. Hope that helped. ~Tomo2000.
