Kingdom Hearts

Maaddogg has made some Kingdom Hearts tiles. They're looking pretty cool so far, different to anything else out there anyway. Definately good for anyone looking to make a Kingdom Hearts fangame.

Modern pixel art

MagnusVale has posted a workshop with some neat pixel art of "modern things" - refridgerators, ovens, TV's, that sort of thing. More unique stuff, anyway. Pretty well sprited too.

Pause script

Zeriab is straight in with a new script, a pause script which shows an image.

Isometric mapping

Gubid's isometric map script renders isometric maps rather well, allowing mapping much more easier in RMXP considering the maker isn't by default meant for isos!

Moving events

Near has created a quick script to take events from one map to another. It's been done before, but now see another scripter's take on it.

Videos for game making?

Quantummindgames has posted some interesting videos to aid with game creation. You can find them in the Game Making Discussion board, which has seen a recent spurt in activity now that it is not just RM-oriented.

The Floor is Lava ogod ogod

Twirly has posted a good example of a Rec Room thread, in the Rec Room (funnily enough). This is the sort of thing we want to see (much better than a forum game I think you'll agree)!

I lied about no gimmicks, here's a picture of a volcano. Have fun.

 

[Zeriab]

This theme fits you so well Wyatt. It's kinda cute :3
I like that you are giving a short explanation of the various parts.

*hugs*

 

[Ellie]

Well I was originally doing a fresh-prince-of-bell-air rap thing but that was shit

And also every other mod except for me you and dev are out

I mean this was supposed to be done two days ago by someone else

;-;

*hugs*

 

[dadevvtsvre]

Yeah, this worked much better. Not every week has to have a theme.

 

[Ellie]

Well yeah, but the themes are pretty fun :3

 

[candle]

that pic is pretty awesome

 

[bacon]

Im mentioned, :D

I luv the theme of no theme...its perfect!

 

[Ulqiorra]

Yay, I'm in a This Week! Thanks Wyatt, and i'll see if I can find a giant lollipop to send you later.

 

[Ellie]

I do love me some big juicy wood-centered sticks to suck on.

Hmm.

I'll be quiet.

 

[Ulqiorra]

Heh, so you're saying you'd like a big lollipop? I can do that. And maybe I could have a custom banner? Kidding. I try to keep myself from bribing people with candy^^

I'll also be quiet now.

 

[Ellie]

It's amazing how much you can squeeze out of a week when nobody was here and nothing happened!

 

[Twirly]

Yeah good job ;D
haha my thread made it in "this week at .org"

 

[Ellie]

I decided to be different.

The word "on" itself is a gimmick, leading "At" to be a much better choice.

 

[QuantumMindGames]

3 out of 4 This Week mentions since I joined... Really?


Now I'm a calligraphy-writing zombie that posts game making videos in a garden after arriving via an NPC Generator...

 

[Tindy]

Very nice, very nice :D
