Do you do all the voices Megalomaniac? What do you use for distorting your voice?

Someone once told me there used to be a few of us non-RPGM folks around here. I originally stopped in because I figured this would be a good spriter's resource. I even remember asking Princess Amy about the terms of use on RPGM's rtp resources and the character generator. Is that still around? I haven't used it in years.

Now that I'm think about that, I wanted to do something similar to that but never had the time. Princess Amy, how hard was it to put together that character generator? I have a bunch of files I'd like to use to make an online face generator and heraldry generator.

Lel, you can call me Biz if you want, it's much easier. Megalomaniac is just my title. As for voices, I do them all myself, yes, and distortion is done in Wavepad, an affordable program (that I have bought legit) which lets you do some pretty cool effects. It can also convert for multiple formats, it's like audacity, but less frustrating as it can save as wavs, mp3s, oggs and such and easily convert files between. Batch conversions too.

To note, in the video prior to the Twins, the one with Koko, Lilac and Lumi, only Lumi's voice has an effect applied (and it's a 6% adjustment to pitch and speed.), the rest is just mer having some range, I suppose. I also don't use any sort of effects for Pep, Tristy, Rolly or Limbo's voices, though in rare scenarios I do give Rolly a very slight speed and pitch adjustment, so he sounds a little deeper and slower.

Depends, there's a few, I know the Looseleaf one which does mack sprites is still around, but I can be sure the Famitsu chibi generator is gone, although VX Ace and RMMV now come with character generators prebuilt. I don't know about any of the XP ones (outside of Mack, as it is XP style) as XP was before my time.

As for non-rpg maker folks, Xilef and Sanchez are among them too, as far as I know.

Currently I have nothing new or amazing to show. But I will later.

Right. Biz. Sorry. I can see perfectly well that your name is BizarreMonkey. But for some reason my eyes kept drifting down towards your title. ("Hey. My eyes are up here," your avatar says to me.)

In your defense title is pretty similar in spelling to tits. I don't mind being called Megalomaniac, it seemed only polite to if you weren't aware, make it easier for you, since its 3 letters in comparison to 12.

Well, I finally started on the gameplay mechanics for Fantasia, lots to adjust here (*speeds and visual / audio impact, mostly) but it's off to a good start.

Amy, that's a big improvement. I thought it looked pretty good the way it was, but that's much better. I'm not sure what all the icons mean, but they look good. Putting the gold border around those individual icons helps tie it together Is the yellow semicircle thing a replacement for the other bar that used to be there?

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Fuckning collision bugs :[

That aside, I got a bunch done today.

Most of it is seen here:

This is a live demonstration of testing a heavily modified "Alpha Abs" for my project, along with some features I've made: scroll to zoom, fit to browser size, and scale game to browser size.

Some positioning needs to be fixed, such as centering on zoom and such.

You can see how this fill fit into my overall Gui here:

[Xilef]

Wow, really good job - I'm impressed at how fast you got the ABS working.
The lack of centering is quite obvious, it was the first thing I was looking for to be honest.

Very impressed with that ABS and HUD, you've pulled it together quite quickly.

 

[Ellie]

Thanks.

I've got the HP bar sorted now. Just really not sure what's going to go in the space in the skills bar to the right.

Unless I have bigger skill buttons or more skills.

Trouble is the plugin uses 32x32 icon sets, so either I edit how RPG Maker uses icons, or I try and edit all the parts confining it to 8 skills.

 

[ZenVirZan]

You could put a Mana and Stamina bar there or an equivalent. Armor perhaps? A global attack cooldown timer meter? idk

 

[Jason]

... Or just spread all the skill buttons out?

 

[Ellie]

Settled on this.

The skill icons are frankensprites of various bits of the RTP. Battlebacks, battlers, animations, etc.

Progress so far:

 

[Jason]

Looking good, although I'd probably change that font colour from black to white.

 

[coyotecraft]

I agree. Or at least a light blue that's readable but doesn't overpower by contrast.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Yeah a pale middle-blue would be best.

Also I've been updating Intelligence's Cutscenes for MV and making some new ones. 4 of 22 done!

[Ellie]

Oh, yeah I haven't got that far yet. Font will be changing too.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

hello darkness my old friend. . .

this large party thing is gonna be the death of me

 

[Ellie]

That is a loooooot of characters.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Luckily you only have that many for one battle in the whole game.

I've been doing a lot on it lately, updated the font for dialogue, so much better now.
