I don't know if I even deserve a welcome back since it was never a goodbye. Just checking back into the forums after yet another 2-3 month hiatus. FYI. I'm liking the new layouts and themes Marked, pretty nifty stuff

This is when Marked is supposed to get on and say where it is haha if memory serves correct, Pol worked on it as well. I'll see if I can scrounge up that link location. Hell, it might even be in the downloads section

We actually had a project going that we got done earlier before I left on hiatus. Then another project was started by the community but sort of died as far as I know. I'm sure that once we get some more of the older crew back that we'd all love to make another project

Well Foxxy, the party dont start til we walk in! Congrats on the new member joining us, we are a great community as said before and there are lots of helpful people here who work with a multitude of engines. If you have any questions, just let us know. There's a reason I've stayed in the community for a while now

I have, it was a nice series with a lot of great surreal ideas but I think that broke the fourth wall too much. Well at least, that's not the approach I wish to go for.

So Waaaaay back when (about two years ago) I had an idea for a game that was basically two games in one. You "shifted" between different time periods which turned out to be two different time planes, however the idea got complicated and then a crappy game "Time shift" or something came out and made my idea unappealing to me. However, recently I actually found a way to make this idea more refined and I feel it is workable now. However, I am somewhat at odds about how the story should play out so let me tell you more about the game and then see if I can get any feedback. Exhaustion System Sleeping will be a huge factor in this game. Since the game will operate on a time schedule (days will pass, months, etc.), sleeping will be a need. You are human and we humans need normal regulated sleep, otherwise we become Exhausted. In the game, exhaustion will cause you to start hallucinate (both voices and figures). People may become warped, as will scenery. You will start to hear voices, low at first but eventually they will be become audible and speak horrible things. Time will begin to slow down as you lose your grasp on what is real or not. After about 50% exhaustion you start to become blended into the Dream world. At 100% exhaustion, you are more or less fully immersed into the Dream world. Since this game is played at parallels with each world, some puzzles or obstacles may become easier to bypass by traversing through the other world but there is always a cost. Story While in the real world, you will be playing as a college journalist, who is trying to investigate a series of grisly murders that have recently began to occur. Vice versa, in the Dream world, you are falsely framed and used as a scapegoat by the leader of a criminal group of daemons, The Mares. In this world you are still human, but in a world full of inner daemons, you are the lowest on the totem pole. You are outnumbered, under powered and out of luck. Traversing this world is challenging as it seems that once you enter you can't escape as daemons don't sleep. No bed = No sleep. Beds will be few and far apart as there are a minute amount of humans left in this time space. I plan to have you eventually be placed within a daemon skin to allow you to move around majorly unnoticed which prohibits sleep and scares off other humans but may illicit challenges from other daemons. While I don't have the entire plot set out yet, keep in mind that every event that happens in one setting must be able to be solved both in the Real and Dream world as exhaustion will set in rather quickly. For example: I plan to create a short demo that showcases the player playing through a jail escape at 50% exhaustion. They will be walking towards being put in a cell while a hallucination tells them that the only way to escape is to kill the creatures imprisoning him. However, the creatures will be cops in Reality but through the player's view will be different creatures in vaguely resembling cops uniforms walking through a fantasy styled prison fused with a modern police station with holding cells. When both the player and cop arrive at his cell the player will have the option to break free, grab the cop's gun, shoot him and free himself of the handcuffs while attempting escape through the ensuing chaos. The game's tagline is "If you can't wake up from the nightmare, then perhaps you're not asleep..." I built the game around this specifically because I want people to think about this game and question whether the "Reality" is real or if the Dream real? The Mares from the Dream world is a organization run by 3 brothers, and these guys are basically the stuff of nightMARES for the creatures that give us nightmares. They kidnap lesser daemons and perform different experiments on them inorder to test the limits of bettering themselves to be stronger. So this part will be filled with gore and a large variety of horror themed atrocities that I have found. Also, the "Voices" that I referenced before that you hear in the real world? They play an important role in this as they are the army these brothers have started to build that transcend time.

That sounds like a plan Eco :P

Aw really? Sad day.....well I gotta think of something....maybe I'll just write something and make it in XP for show

Oh I come back every once in a while :D hopefully the old crew does the same. I want to get a new crew together to put a game in the android market but I havent touch RMXP in months

Heeeey Tomo is back!

Hey there :D Glad you chose to become a member of our family! Glad to hear an interesting project, cant wait to see what you do with it. Dont be afraid to ask for help if you need any and hope you enjoy your stay!

Im looking to put together a logo for my game development company but I'm not really sure where to start when designing one. I know we had Chief on the forums a while ago but I dont think he still visits here so if anyone else would mind lending a hand then all help is appreciated :D

Is there a way to make certain job classes available after specific requirements are accomplished? (Like after a certain point in the story or after a certain amount of skills are learned?)

Welcome :3 hope you enjoy your stay here. We're REAL friendly
