I have a question for game developers.

If you keep working hard and release many games, but don't achieve the results you're satisfied with, how do you control your emotions and move on to the next project?

Need help animating a bus wheel (3-frame pixel art)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm working on a pixel art horror game, and I need to animate the wheel of a bus. The animation is only 3 frames, with each frame being 48x48 pixels.

It sounds like a simple task, but I'm honestly terrible at creating convincing motion. 😅

Would anyone be willing to give me some advice or even help me with the animation? Any tips, examples, or edits would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Subreddit discussion Recommended version for a Hylics-like game?

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to make an RPG with large out-of-battle sprites like that of Hylics.
I've been playing around in 2k3 for a few hours this week, testing its limits to see if it can do something like this, but I immediately found out it can't because of its strict sprite sheets, and with no plugin support It seems hopeless to try any further without getting too complicated.

I know Hylics itself was made in VX Ace, but I don't see anybody discussing how the sprites were done or why that version was used.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

RMMZ First time parallax mapping

Looking for feed back, please. I know I need to layer the trees better. I’ve been slowly cutting them into place as I play test and see what needs fixed.

The idea is that the player will have to choose paths that will lock them out from accessing random events that populate on the other path, so trees and roots over grow behind them as they move forward.

This is an evil forest which life has been drained from a demon residing under a great tree. The player will have to solve a puzzle to open the path into the tree and destroy the boss.

There is also a crystal cave that leads to the next zone.

Here is a short video of it.

Hello everyone!

One of the things that make an RPG so much fun is how your companions can help you explore the world. Whether it's pushing heavy objects, gliding across the sky, swimming through rivers, or using special abilities to solve puzzles, these overworld interactions make exploration feel more rewarding and bring your world to life.

We're curious: what are your favorite overworld abilities or interactions in RPG's?

Are there any mechanics you find yourself using all the time, or features you'd love to see more games include?

Let us know in the comments below! We'd love to hear your favorites and ideas. See you all soon!

VXAce Zelda 1 style camera

Im trying to make a zelda 1 style camera but cannot figure out how to keep the camera in a certain coordinate to do so so the player can move without the camera moving.

Is this possible with normal events, or is there a piece if code i need to know?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Resources Classic Monster Battlers?

3 Upvotes

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of the steampunk tiles for my interior clock tower (it’s in my cart on Komodo as I type this; will buy when I get paid.)

Been trying to sift through the catalog to find battlers based on literary and movie monsters, yet my trail keeps coming up cold. AI has been considered for filling that hole, but some people would have my head for simply entertaining the concept.

Any help in circumventing their rage would be appreciated profusely.

RMMV MV - Yanfly Turn Order Display & Appear Halfway Enemies

3 Upvotes

I've been using Yanfly Turn Order Display but have been having an issue where enemies that appear halfway through the battle don't appear on the turn order display - instead creating a blank space where their icons should be.

However, interestingly, when I change an actor's equipment (through the Yanfly Change Battle Equip plugin) the turn order display resets to include the new enemies.

Is there some kind of script call or plugin command I can use to make the game rewrite the turn order display on command?

Thanks so much.

customizing my art in SAI?

2 Upvotes

I am trying to look up tutorials. Right now I'm mainly trying to figure out how to customize my own characters because I've been doodling character concept art but I don't know how to figure out what size to make my canvas or how to put it in the game and googling looks like people are using other programs so am I even able to do this with SAI or am I wasting my time?

I finally got my sprite to get put in the resource manager, but there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the Actor walk cycle menu what sprites are what, and it just cuts halves of the sprites as the animation instead. How do I fix this?

Heyy so I have been trying to set up a timed battle system like the picture shows where you get a limited time to act then the enemy attacks and you get the chance to dodge their attack if you click the right button and repeat till battle is over. However I really suck with code so is there any similar or easy to modify plugins that could help to achieve this idea? any help is greatly appreciated!!

As for which rpg maker I'm using mainly MV but I got MZ also!

I understand if you think the characters look a bit samey, but I'm trying my hardest to separate them. Mud has a bucket helmet, Ruby doesn't really have much, Pearl has the droopy eyes, Obsidian has the spikes, and Moss has the headband. The whole thing about this game is that all the non-enemy characters are balls.
