Re: Frozen Essence: V.2 uploaded

Okay, I managed to play it, and even went after some different endings. Here's my thoughts; First thing ... and I'm sure people have already mentioned this, is that awful slap sound effect. It was like the only sound effect you would use the entire time, and I kept thinking characters were slapping ...

100 free backgrounds

I'm an amateur photographer, mainly keeping myself busy with studio stuff, but before that, I took random snapshots of just about everything. Five years later, I realize, I could let the visual novel community use this as their backgrounds. I live in the Netherlands, so you'll mostly get Dutch stuff...

Re: Tailor Tales [GxB] [100% free] [WIP]

Parallaxing is actually not that hard, most of it is basically copy & paste. Though I do more complex stuff since I create several tiles specifically for that map. Here's a few tutorials you can check out, and some videos: Parallaxing for beginners. Advanced Parallaxing Video of parallaxing a map An...

I only parallax my maps, especially since the tiles I make are only to be used for parallax mapping :lol:

Sorry, it's only possible for the PC, not that easy (or should I say impossible?) to convert it to some other hardware, despite it being modeled after Harvest Moon.

Re: Portrait Generator

Glad to see some people find it useful ^_^

It didn't get used much in the RPG Maker community, probably because they didn't like the style so much.

No, this beta has absolutely no dialogue at all, it's for testing purposes. Beta =/= demo. I'll just post this here again in case more people report the same bug: Known bugs in beta 0.9 - Staying in Bill’s house (3 hearts) when it hits 10:00 or 14:00 makes you unable to move until the next hour kick...

Re: What drawing softwares do you use?

If Photoshop CS2 is pre-historic ... then I don't know what that makes me, since I've been using Photoshop 7.0 since I was 11, which was ten years ago. I sometimes switch over to CS3 when I need the warp tool, but that's it, everything else gets made in 7.0, from drawing, to creating websites, to ed...

Download the entire Portrait Generator package Ver 3.0 here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1l87ut6zueq81qt If you use Paint.net you can download a .PSD plugin here. The file is packaged into a .rar file and you need WinRAR (or something equivalent) to extract the files. I made this for the RPG Maker VX...

Thanks for testing Sollune, but be sure to read the text file included next time ;)

It says that the graphics for the polka dot, sparkling, checkered dresses and the occasional clothing are not yet sprited. They are functional though, but invisible.

Re: Tailor Tales [GxB] [100% free] [WIP]

Yeah, sorry, the engine I'm making it with doesn't support Mac. Though I've heard of programs that emulate WIndows on the Mac and you can play it like that. Anyways, a few people have already found a bunch of bugs, so see if the bug you're about to report isn't already reported: Known bugs in beta 0...

Re: Tailor Tales [GxB] [100% free] [WIP]

Did you say... never be finished? o.o;; I hope you don't mean that seriously! Well, I'm just being realistic here. Most projects never get finished, and I'm sure I'm not the exception here, so I'm aiming for a playable demo during Spring instead of the whole game. If I can accomplish that, then I'v...

Re: Do you prefer MC to have an apperance or to be faceless?

Preferably I'd like to see the main character at least once, so that I know what they look like. But for me, it goes like this: Silent protagonist: I'm absolutely okay with no graphic for the main character, since you're supposed to imagine yourself in their shoes anyway A protagonist with scripted ...

Re: The unimportance of art

Art is essential to a game, unless you want to make a text game (and sometimes, even those have art). Since on these forums plenty of people make visual novels ... well, it's got the word visual in it. If you didn't care about art, you'd be writing a story instead, or make a text game out of it. The...

Re: Tailor Tales [GxB] [100% free] [WIP]

I'm happy to announce that beta 0.9 is planned for release on this Saturday ^_^ Please note, a beta does not mean a playable demo, it is used to help me find bugs and test things out, also for general feedback. And here's two random screenshots when I finished up Bill's schedule: http://i1082.photob...
