My god running a company is so much work. All this paper work, having to craft emails, needing to write statements, etc, all that crap is exactly why I never wanted to do this.

On the bright side, the apps that I've worked on are getting solid 5 star reviews right now.

If you ever need an admin I'll send you my CV

I think not. You're lacking in the alcohol content.

Terrible game made by terrible people.

I met a girl with the prettiest eyes today. She reminded me of my first crush and even talked like her.

I used to have people stare at me and say "you have pretty eyes".

Sounds like my type of scum...

Finished my first MV plugin! It allows you to use big 8-directional character sets with multiple frames per direction, such as Ragnarok Online sprites.

I saw a bunch of diagonal movement plugins, but none that worked with big character sprites, so it's a little something. I know it's not much but it's pretty much my first time with javascript. :biggrin:

Applied for College... Again...
I have to retake my GCSEs because my equivalents aren't equivalent.
God damn my friends, if ever you leave education for a second, please remember it's VERY hard to get back into.
I left college 3 years ago with the intention of returning to it the next year. I spent a year jobless, then got a job that I didn't want and worked for 2 years for less than minimum wage. Trust me when I say this: Councils will use apprenticeships as a way to hire young people and pay them little while not giving them many useful skills.
I'm just ready to get a job that'll sustain me, while I'm in education.

RPG Maker MV desperately needs a dynamic lighting plugin.

RPG Maker MV desperately needs a dynamic lighting plugin.

MV is probably the easiest RPG Maker version to implement dynamic lighting in.
I'd like to see an additive lighting model implemented for MV. So your maps have an ambient light, and then all lights add to it, with shadows casting (baked based on nearest affectors).

Would take maybe a day to get a test version completed, then a couple of days to polish (with a day being ~8 hours).

Problems would be shadow shapes for non-blocky tiles. Getting shadows for the blocked out tiles sounds very simple, but things like character sprites I guess you'd need to do some mathematics to get the right direction for the frame, then some fudging to make it look good cast on the ground.

I can imagine normal mapping being an easy addition on top of this. Day to test, day to polish.

Single-bounce reflected light is probably another thing that could be done. 2 days there.

While we're at it, mirrors that react to light (and even display characters) is also possible, 3 days.

Thanks. I was so scared about actually applying to retake my GCSEs cause I had a lot of misconceptions about it, like I really thought my equivalents were sufficient, I thought I had to pay to retake them and I thought that the course would take up a lot of time. Luckily all these are not true. I was just too anxious about the possibility that I waited literally a month to find out. (If I left it any longer they would have disregarded my application.)

YOU CAN DO IT!!

Thank you Strawberry! I need a more fighting spirit! :box: :box: :box: :box:

It feels like I'm kinda finally taking control of my life situation. I'm trying to change, become a better person and become a more positive influence rather than a sad story.
With that being said...
Sorry for this really long rant:
I really appreciate this support. I'm at a very low point in my life right now. I don't want to make out like anyone is a bad person, but I've never had true support or interest from my parents about my dreams, and it was only last year my brother started telling me I should go for it. However since we've moved in and we're struggling to pay rent, he's began saying I need to forget about college for now until I'm more financially stable. The Job Centre have also tried very hard to dissuade me from the idea and even my own mind has. But I'm trying to be resolute with this. I left my last job for this, so if I didn't go for it, what would be the point of all this pain.
I don't think people really understand that I get anxious about this stuff. Like, not just "ohh I don't know if I should do this" anxious. I mean "I'll ignore it until it gets to night and then stay awake until 4am thinking about what a horrible fuck up of a human being I am." kinda anxious, and I really should get my mental and physical health checked but I haven't even got a GP in this city cause the application forms scare me.

I've been struggling but am trying to get myself into a better place... It's just that everything I try to do to change ends up becoming more involved and complex, it becomes an issue (be it an actual issue or an issue in my mind) when it really shouldn't be. Feels like swimming against a tide, and I'm not that good at swimming...

I am just lamenting about life stuff, and I apologise but at the moment I feel I can just throw words around here without people seeing it as a problem. Every time I voice my anxieties to people in the real world, they see it as a problem that needs to be fixed, when what I'm looking for most of the time is just an ear to speak to.

Anyway, thanks for the support guys, here's to making my life better!!!

If someone wants to pay for the time I'd spend away from my primary project then I'll do it

Oh shit. Steam Sale.
Should I get rpgmaker MV? I missed the last sale. I could support the site more if I got it.
But for the same price I could get a lot of other stuff on my wishlist. Decisions~

It might go down more if I wait.

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

Buy it! Don't think about it. Just buy it.
