2nd part is moving to RPGM? Seems like a backwards move most people avoid RPGM like the plague.
EDIT: It seems the author thinks otherwise best of luck to them hope it works out for them but most RPGM devs are switching to RENPY to make more money not the other way around.
But the Dev does good work. Hope this works out well for them
Hahahaha yes some do that to get more money. Well we're probably trying to earn more money too but we take the engine that's best suited for our needs. SO from now on RPGMaker MV. Might not be the most popular choice, but what else is left? Buying new assets for unity / unreal and doing it the right way? Well we WOULD do that RIGHT AWAY if we had that kind of money. Old assets like the V4 stuff won't work in engines like that
Well they might but that would look like throwing shit on a fan
Shrugs as long as the story remains great and we get to use the Mc's powers i do not really care what engine though i will be sad to lose the wonderful visual graphics
as mentioned below:
the graphics have nothing to do with the engine. that is the perview of the rendering app. Renpy takes us from static site to static site. Rpgm does have pixel art maps and chibi style character icons, but as Jack said they are trying to minimize that with their work and added contractors(if I read correctly). But the scenes, and personas will be what we have come to expect and love.
correct, the graphics haven't got anything to do with it
Sure there might be some kind of pixelart in between the scenes for those who want to play a GAME but those who just want a visual novel can skip those parts pretty easily by just using the teleport function, I'm going to implement, to just jump to the next story relevant spot and resume the main story without "much" interference. Sure you'll still see a little bit of pixelart in between those steps, but hopefully that's minimal enough to still enjoy the "VN" if you don't want to play the "Game"
Just for those who have concerns about rpgmaker. While i don't know what exactly the guys have in mind but what i do know is that there are RPGmaker games out there those don't appear as your regular rpgmaker game at all. Cohabitation? Private Community? Both of those appear to be Ren'Py games but on rpgmaker engine and acts much more like a sandbox style game.
I can tell you that such a game can be made in Ren'Py.. but ohboy with sooo much bugs that needs soo much fixing
Nah bugs and stuff have nothing to do with it, there are already prebuild things to even do kind of like old doom dungeon crawler games. But seriously, why would I want to bend an engine to do something that it's not supposed to do? Would you build an airplane out of a bicycle? I wouldn't I'd probably take something a little more suited for it as a base.
It's really not about if it would be possible to do it all in ren'py, since yes it is. It's more about, renpy was built for visual novels and for visual novels only. So why should I create an RPG with a visual novel engine instead of using an rpg engine or if we had the money, build a realtime 3D 1st or 3rd person action rpg? Just my two cents on it
I have to admit, I never read the 'Dresden File' books, although I did watch (and very much enjoyed) the television series that was out briefly on ScyFy... but, like all good series on that channel, it got canceled... part of the reason that I ditched that channel and avoid it now like a plague, I don't care whatever they air anymore, I just won't watch it... even if they were to do my own stuff, I'd avoid it.
My hate runs deep and remains true.
Personally, I haven't read a book in a very long time... part of the reason for that is, admittedly, time... which I have so little of anymore. Another reason, simply, is because I never want to be accused of plagiarism (either accidental or on purpose)... it is bad enough that a lot of my stuff shows my love of the classics like those of Piers Anthony, John Norman, Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells and Phillip K Dick and such.
Sure there are some that blatantly get away with ripping off other's works and make 'Best Seller' lists and movies (the RIPOFF of Battle Royale)... but, honestly, I don't want to ever take the chance or screw up, intently or not.
Never watched the series since all who read the books say it was shit (maybe just because it didn't follow the books and was written by someone else? I don't know
)
If you one day have some time again you should really try one of the novels, they're (at least in the german version) funny as hell
I have two complains and a question.
1. I didnt try this earlier
2. I finished this version
and...
Will player incest be limited to family ties only (due to Pisseon rules), will we get a patch or secret mode or what?
Hahahahaha you made my day. Best complaints ever!
Alright about the question, as you can see, there is a bit of incest in the game already, "Pisseon" checked the game.... iirc 3 times already. And they only said to ASLPro3D that it's close and he has to be careful. But nothing else since then. So IF we get reported or IF they decide to take us down, we'll certainly create kind of a patch but won't advertise it on "Pisseon"
