What are you working on? (Game Making Thread)

[Jason]

Spent the last hour trying to design a new sprite template, can't settle on anything I like though...

 

[Byron]

THIS GAME QUICKLY BECAME AN EROTIC VISUAL NOVEL OH SHIT FUCK AHAHAHA!

Oh god that was not the intention AT ALL!

 

[Lance Amano]

I'm trying to get a script that allows the increment of parameters such as PDEF and MDEF to work on XP. It's the closest thing I've found to circumvent my biggest gripe with RPGXP: the lack of a defense stat.

 

[Climperoonie]

My current pet project is a Hound of the Baskervilles game... Extremely rough at the moment, loads of placeholder sprites still, need to consolidate and decide upon various scripts, etc., but I do actually feel like I'm getting somewhere with it...

Spoiler: Screencaps

Like I say, the above screencaps are extremely rough, I'd say I've done about 2% of progress so far, but it's mostly just me trying to wean myself back onto RMXP after not using it for about four years.

Sounds good to me, actually surprised not to have seen Sherlock around before.

Sounds good to me, actually surprised not to have seen Sherlock around before.

I was quite surprised too, I had a look around before I started to see if I was retreading ground.

Hopefully have a realllllly basic demo up soon, simply because I want feedback on whether the opening cutscene is too long or not (I have a feeling it will be) but I need to finish the ruddy thing first...

 

[Ellie]

Too much work's killed me game making this week unfortunately.

 

[Byron]

Character design is easy.
Drawing characters is hard.
T^T

 

[Jason]

I've told you a million times I'll help with spriting the characters lol, I already helped with one of them... sort of, didn't do all the frames or anything, but you know what I mean!

[Ellie]

Currently doing php work for someone, and working with PHPBB again. Realising how unprofessional the system is to be honest.

 

[Xilef]

I finally fixed a bug that has halted progress for more than a week now!

WOO HOO YAY

Turns out I forgot to close a block in a file reader. 1 line fixed it. Kind of annoyed with myself, I re-wrote and checked everything but in the end it was the "easy addition that will make things easier and won't need testing because it's so simple to implement" that had the bug.

 

[Ellie]

I need to research advertising schemes for adult sites. Wouldn't know where to begin.

 

[95enthusiast]

What's this for?

 

[Xilef]

Before I go to sleep I'm writing a new renderer for anime-style 3D graphics.

It needs to be done(?).

 

[Ellie]

I am really behind on my game mAking, just got too many things going on at once.

 

[baghead_jackson]

Going back to trying to do hand drawn maps because i suck so hard at mapping.

 

[Xilef]

I'm messing around with the Pebble SDK right now, it's all in C so it's familiar ground.

Wrote a scene manager inspired by the RPG Maker scene manager as well as a memory management system (Detects leaks too).

Uses my C-With-Classes style, first truly reasonable use of my programming style.

 

[Ellie]

I think following xilefs suggestion I'm going to go with small maps in my game. Still haven't had chance to work on it, but I have drafted up some basic areas on paper while away from my pc... having trouble with map edges as it's a different style of mapping to what I'm used to really. Finding them quite artificial.

 

[coyotecraft]

I says to myself "We need more blood animations". I know there are blood splatter graphics but it always looks dumb when a character collapses and the blood pops out of nowhere.
Not even sure the spray is necessary. Just having the splatters and puddles grow is effective I think.
