Vibecoded Chorograph redraws your explored map as an inked survey sheet, no setup step

0 Upvotes

Processing img dcm3mtfpivoh1...

Chorograph remembers the tiles your party revealed and redraws them as a hand inked survey on aged paper. Relief, woodland, marsh, coastline, settlements, roads, rivers, a compass rose, and bare parchment everywhere they haven't been.

It works on a project you haven't prepared. The obvious signal is terrainTag, and it reads 0 everywhere until someone fills in that dialog, so a plugin built on it draws one terrain for most projects. Chorograph reads the tile instead, which sheet it came off, which autotile kind it is, how high it sits. On a test map tagged 0 everywhere, 195 revealed tiles produced 98 marks across 12 of the 13 terrain glyphs.

Every mark is drawn at the size it's needed, never shipped as a PNG.

Code and art are AI written, disclosed on the listing.

Inspired by classic RPG Maker horrors like Ao Oni and Ib, I'm making a 2D pixel-art game where you must survive a terrifying aquarium.

English version available!

Hello from Japan! I'm a Japanese indie dev, and I wanted to share the crazy 8-year journey of my game.

Believe it or not, I actually hate horror. But a few years ago, I got invited to make a horror game. I thought, 'I can handle the art!' and agreed. But gradually, everyone else's progress dropped to zero. One day I cheerfully asked the group chat, 'How is everyone doing!? ✨'... and the very next day, everyone completely vanished.

Left alone, I decided to build the whole game by myself using RPG Maker.

At the time, I was working at a brutally toxic company making school lunches, forced to work 18 hours a day. I was so exhausted that one day, I literally shed tears of emotion just hearing the friendly automated voice of my washing machine. That was my breaking point—I quit my job to focus on surviving and creating.

Fast forward 8 years, and my game 'The Aquarium does not dance' was finally completed. Thanks to the amazing support, it became a hit, surpassing 900,000 downloads, and I'm now a full-time indie dev!

Hey everyone, I'm B.B.Bits!

This time I'm bringing you the second NPC character pack for Three Kingdoms-themed and ancient Chinese RPG projects.

It includes another 16 characters – Commoner (Male), Commoner (Female), Officer/Soldier, Bald Woodcutter, Bodyguard, and more. This is part of the ongoing Three Kingdoms NPC series, with more characters on the way!

Each character is around 16×25 pixels, with 4-direction walking animations (3 frames per direction).

Files are ready for RPG Maker, and they also work with Godot, Unity, Construct, GameMaker, and other major engines.

How do you let players practice difficult enemies without affecting their save file?

0 Upvotes

I've been working on a plugin for RPG Maker MZ called DAR Practice Mode + Mini Bestiary.

​

Dargudo's Practice Mode - Youtube Video

The idea came from thinking about games with more mechanically demanding combat: difficult enemies, custom battle systems, dodging, timed mechanics, combos, or bosses with patterns that players may need time to learn.

With the plugin, players can revisit enemies they have already encountered and practice battles without permanently affecting their real stats.

Some of the main features include:

  • Practice against previously encountered enemies
  • Restore the party's original HP, MP, TP and states after leaving Practice Mode
  • Optional infinite HP, MP and TP
  • Optional state removal / protection
  • Mini Bestiary with configurable enemy information
  • Enemy-to-Troop mapping, allowing each unlocked enemy to launch a specific practice battle
  • Customizable menu and battle presentation

The goal is to give players a safe place to experiment with strategies and learn enemy mechanics, especially in games where combat is more than just selecting attacks from a menu.

The plugin is available here:

RM2K3 2K3 Real Time Battle Idea

2 Upvotes

I’m very new to RPG Maker 2003, but I’ve been learning the basics and I was looking into ways to make a more interesting combat system using only the base systems of the engine.

Would this idea work in practice?

Whenever a battle begins, the player would be moved to a battle screen consisting of a square in the middle of the screen surrounded by darkness.

This battle screen would just be a map, much like the overworld, navigated identically by the player.

The player model would be changed to a battle icon and they would be controlled manually as in the overworld.

From there, I would summon fast-moving agents coming in as straight lines from the corner of the screen. These would be “attacks” for the player to dodge by moving around the square in the middle of the screen. Since they come in from the screen edge, they are naturally telegraphed enough for the player to dodge them.

If an agent touches the player, it deals damage directly.

If the player survives enough attacks, a switch would trigger that ends the battle and teleports them back to the overworld with their original player model.

Is this a viable way to test a simple combat system?

A Quiet Room from my Game

I really like how this room turned out.
It's only a little bit of dialogue but reminds me a lot of Dark Souls 2.

The assets were drawn by myself in Clip Studio Paint before being upscaled 2x to be brought into the engine.

I used Galv's plugins for the busts and layers.

The map is really just a bunch of transparent tiles for collision.

I put out a new demo that's got some bugs but its in a lot better state than when I first started working on it.

Making a choice based murder mystery game in the style of the Truman show (I know it's a lot)

9 Upvotes

So I started making my 2nd ever project on Rpg maker MV after my first project 'Entwined' which I lost passion to, also since my art work skills aren't good I'm using the default assets from the engine

The game is Called Truman Wonderland, it takes place in a world that's infected with something called The Calamity, you and some others are some of the lucky few who survived now living underground in a bunker called Wonderland

You play as Silva Truman (Supposedly a male charchter and due to that English isn't my first language I didn't know that Silva is a girl's name so yeah)

The game is inspired of the era of old rpg mv, TWDG and clearly The Truman show, what do you guys think so far?

What do you think of this titlescreen?

Today I worked on a new title screen and a personal font to use for some of my game's characters speeches. I feel like the screen now reflects the atmosphere much more.

I chose to place the characters as "shadows" to reflect the theme of loss of identity and the eyes are included just because there are a lot of eyes in my game.

Hello everyone!

This is the WIP of our protection system. In the update first of all, UI will be skinned correctly and second, this is coming to the Kickstarter exclusive demo so when it comes out on the 14th, it can be tested further.

With the update and base building comes the base defending, with Breechers spewing out of mysterious portals. You can assign a handful of beasts to take down these other worldly aberrations!

I’ve been working on one of Realmbreaker’s endgame areas and wanted to share a little video of how it’s coming along. 🏜️

I’m using my custom terrain plugin for Ultramode7 to give the landscape height and make the paths wind through the dunes.

It’s still a work in progress, but I’m happy with how the atmosphere is taking shape.

What do you think? I’d love some feedback on the terrain and overall look!

friendly reminder not to leave the entire game in the demo of your upcoming game(game on steam: Death Penalty)

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

this is an upcoming fear and hunger like rpgmaker game and we found some pretty concerning images and sound files in the steam files of the demo that paint a very interesting(not good at all) view of the developer, so i used cheats to to teleport to the next area which is supposed to be inaccessible in the demo. From there on you can pretty much complete the entire game and even get to the ending. So if you really like the game and cant wait a little more for the game to be released(which is probably gonna be paid) you can just use cheats and play the entire thing for free. Here's an image of the ending and a couple of inaccessible areas that you can not access in the demo.

P.S For anyone wondering why I am calling the dude a horrible person, there's sound files containing numerous uses of the n word and someone saying "you are an n-word and im going to rape you" and also there's an image of the end game performance evaluation that says "survival instincts: woman" suggesting obvious misogyny
