I really hope this game gets expanded further. Probably won't get on a level of Fairy games from VIPRPG, but still... Would be nice.

I'm not a developer but I am a fan of indie games and would one day like to craft a neat, aesthetically pleasing, challenging little RPG with some adult/dark themes (no sexual content unless it's related to the story like somebody doing something horrific to someone else, think Game of Thrones but RPG), and just wanted to drop into the thread and offer free help to any devs already out there that may want feedback on their games, or someone to help shoot ideas with.I give blunt, pragmatic feedback, I won't mollycoddle you if something doesn't seem good, but I won't shit all over you either.Best of luck to you indie devs with dreams in your hearts, I hope you find some sense of fulfillment and success on your journey.

so I want to make one of those game where if you die, you restarted from the beginning but you can choose additional buff or advantage (roguelite?). The question is, should it be a game where you can finish everything without restarting even a single time (sounds like balancing hell) or a game where you basically want to stack as many advantages as possible?

What's the Isekai Genre looking like these days?
A few years back we had "reincarnated as inanimate tools (to be used by waifus)"
Last year it broke away from RPG mechanics into other game genres like RTS and Otome games.
It looks like the next trend that hasn't become mainstream yet are professional skills as cheat abilities. We've see cooking skills before, but that wasn't very foreign to RPG game mechanics. This is more specific. Like, "I Can Finally Use My College Degree In Another World."

If you would believe it, the winter jam that year had 14 entries.
It was the biggest jam ever, and probably would never be topped. I'm glad I pushed myself to submit a game that jam. Probably would have regretted it if I didn't.

Is there a simple way to make Enemy's ID number into a variable? I can't find one.
Or basically any other way for the game to identify which Enemy is in a particular spot and then use that info for events.I have an idea of how to do that, but it's pretty asinine, hoping there is a simpler way I am missing

I don't have patience for support. It always pissed me off. You see people writing paragraphs and pages explaining 3 different methods that are just shots in the dark. Because the person that asked for help refuses to elaborate and answer (y)es or (n)o.You know reddit posts are fake 90% of the time. But their fake engagement baited genuine support that probably train these LLMs.
And now all the grifters and trolls that used to go "Let me google that for you" are the ones seething over AI.That's karma.

>new dev maker threadTime to post my RPG: https://metaverse-nightmare.neocities.org/It took three years, but it's nice to have my baby be out there. I made this while working over 40 hours a week as a software dev and also doing my Master's degree, so you guys can make yours too if you try harder.Two lessons if I could do it again:
1. Make it shorter with higher quality
2. Make all original assets to get rid of that RPG maker stink

Hey hey vrpgple, Bard's Quest dev here.So i decided to start working on the story for a part 2, but i've hit a roadblock that i dont know how to handle.Since this is a part 2, i was wondering there would be some way to carry over the stats, skills, equipment, etc of the player characters from Bard's Quest 1.Is this even possible in any way in RPGM 2K3? Cause honestly, I'm probably just gonna have this as a new chapter in the already existing game.

Don't know who needs to know this, but Show String Picture cannot traditionally take variable values for the Spacing and Line Spacing entries (distance between letters, distance between line breaks), but you can do this using Call Command. (You can easily copy+paste in a specific Show String Picture command by using the button that generates the command from the clipboard (this is also how you circumvent Show String Picture's inability to take variables for RBYS, but for different reasons))
The reason it doesn't take a variable is because those two things account for 1 singular value.
A Show String Picture command that has 0, 0 for Spacing/Line Spacing will have a value of "1" in the area of its Call Command entry that deals with this parameter.
It's a simple calculation to decide what that value needs to be for a given pair of Spacing, Line Spacing.
>(Spacing * 256) + (Line Spacing * 65536) + 1
That is all.

Is "toggle animations" a good QoL feature to add to the stock battle system? I know players love text skip. I've played games made with the default battles for decades and rarely thought "I wish i could skip most of the animations" but maybe I'm too old because I've noticed a few people mention it when reviewing other games. What about you? Would you skip all animations if you could?

- enemies with weaknesses and resistances to certain weapon types or spell elements
- each weakness or resistance is permanently revealed when an enemy is hit with that type/element
- the player can also change an actor's equipped weapon during battleis type matching interesting or just tedious?
It was fun in octopath but I wonder if it's actually a good mechanic

Managed to have both a functionning caterpillar system (characters in you party follow behind you) and monsters that chase you in the overworld just like the yanfly event chase script in my 2k game.
Both work great, monsters and followers don't get mutally stuck so that's great. but while testing, I noticed that on very rare occasions, one of both of my caterpillar characters will sometimes get offset when moving near a monster that's chasing me. The character in my caterpillar have Through ON so it shouldn't be happening. Any idea what might be causing the issue?
Its not a big deal honestly because 1) even if one of them get offset they easily join back the player and reintegrate the caterpillar if you walk towards them. And 2) its so rare when it happens. Like I have to run in circle around a chasing monsters for several minutes straight for it to happen. Still, curious as to why it's happening.
