No Problem,Exactly from what I understood from discord bo will release these updates,while koda will work on f7.I see! Thanks dude
So basically what exactly does an “interlude” comprise of? I mean will they be on Kaori’s floor? Or is this to tide us over until floor 7 is properly released?
technically from the discord post "yes",realistically speaking it is difficult to believe any date/deadline for now,we can only wait!
Yeah honestly we can only take them at their word. Don’t get me wrong, it was a pleasant surprise to see these two but it is time that we got something tangible already.
If you know what Koda's been doing for the past couple months then you know that we're just giving excuses for him to stall, he's gonna take his sweet-ass time with these mini-updates and I just don't think it'll be worth it.
RPG Maker doesn't just have the basics of programming. You're thinking about CommonEvents, but mechanics, GUIs, behaviours are all in Ruby. Ruby is object oriented and is a script language so doesn't have things like intellisense which is a real shot in the foot. Being a student dev doesn't immediately qualify you to talk about things you haven't studied.
since you are their pet any news on the update ?
"from a student dev point of view, so I know what i'm talking about" at least you got the first part right, you're clearly a student, especially with that oh so illuminating nugget of wisdom you bestowed upon us about HTML / CSS not being programming, yeah only a student would say that thinking he just discovered fire or something. but you clearly don't know what you're talking about, your "knowledge" of RPG Maker and Ruby is obviously the fruit of a 1 minute google search, so here's the rundown kiddo (from someone who actually knows what he's talking about) RPG Maker uses the concept of events which actually can make things harder and not easier, events have their limitations and their strict rules to abide, so actually sometimes a simple thing that sounds so easy to code (especially if you have a background in programming) is actually quite ass-backward to do with events, and if you're going with the alternative of scripting other than events, that's a whole different can of worms, scripting in RPG Maker means you're essentially modifying the engine itself, you're not using the engine to do stuff, you're making the engine do stuff from ground up (stuff that's not meant to do) which give rise to more problems and bugs, especially if you're using other ppl's scripts and the incompatibility issues that comes along with doing that. i see ppl all the time quoting that shit you're spouting about it being "easy enough for a child" or "what's so hard about it" or " it's VEEEERY basic" and that's just nonsense, and only goes to show how actually empty-headed such ppl are!
As usual I mostly agree with you, particularly on most of what Koda doing script-wise being unnecessary bs and a waste of time, but I can give a bit of insight into the sorts of things the scripting is for that aren't unreasonable. So for instance, one task is making a seen-events GUI that has menus for each character, with categories where necessary for better organisation, and then ??? for unseen stuff, and in those cases sometimes have hints on where that content is unlocked. That's the project that took me bloody ages and is 100% scripting. It still requires hooking in for each and every event which is why it might not actually get into WG1.0. Lots of the visuals like the characters showing from the side of the screen, layers over them if they're wearing some kind of gear (coming soon), managing outdated save flags, the mouse handling, etc are all managed through scripts by necessity.
Totally, and I'm not one to argue with Sylph on whether Koda's getting better or not, chances are he is improving his coding skills if he tells us so.
I know nothing about game programming but in general programming(and pretty much everything) the only way to improve is to create things and apply your knowledge.
Again, I'm really out of my element here, but I'm sure he can learn some things even by copying code and adapting it to his game, but yeah, it's almost guaranteed to be a lot slower than a more conventional learning process. Maybe it'd be like learning to draw by tracing *cough*Bo*cough**cough* and then changing some aspects of the drawing slightly, like the character's face or their clothes, while leaving some others unchanged, like their body or pose... as opposed to starting from the ground up and with the basics. Maybe it's just his obsessive/anxious nature thinking he doesn't have time to learn things conventionally, even though it'd be pretty strange for Koda of all people to be concerned about time. Who knows.
Before: WG should be this "weekend"
