Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Jaz007 Yeah, but the cheesiness of the commercial will somehow inform some of those mothers and fathers, who either don't know about the Wii U yet, or will finally tell them that the Wii U is a different console then the Wii.

how ironic that he was killed in a car accident when he is an actor in one of the best car movies...

Points at Tales of Madness~ :3
I thought that way first. u__________u
Getting out there~ Getting the fans/NLer's involved where they can be apart of the game and contribute to it. Cause come now, who wouldn't to play a game where you could star in it? u_u

ToM2 is still in the works don't fret! It is just simply paused at the moment do to IRL. ._.
In the mean time feel free to support it _{or revive it where ever it lies xD} Give your funny little ideas an contribute to it~
If you feel to have your names in the credits or have a part/art/music/whatever it may be in it since this will take longer then expected... u__u

We have cookies for any one that enters that thread~! u__u

so @Gioku and @BadKitty what do you use to make games? I'm thinking of learning C++ and programming the games directly but it would be cool to use a tool to play around with game ideas until I can actually use C++ properly...

Well tales of madness originally started being made by another user Link977 an he had in lined up to be made in RPG Maker VXAce and one of my friends gifted me that maker so I have the full version now an been making ToM's continuous line of games in said maker. :3

I made a game (Demo 1.0 currently out) and posted a link in my signature, but I just don't know where to promote/advertize/gain attention.

@GuSilverFlame: I use Game Maker 7, which is actually an old version of the program, but it's the one I'm comfortable with and can do the most with - and it's apparently great practice if you intend to work with C++ in the future! ...although, there's now Game Maker Studio, which basically allows you to make and publish games professionally (at least more professionally than you could with older Game Makers) on multiple platforms, and in a relatively short amount of time. It's quite expensive, but when I start really making games as a profession, I'll probably invest in it.

Is that a Corn Dog I see
Forget Fruit Rush, and do Meat Rush: A protein fuel game!
Also, while I have you, since we need all the NL users we can add in Tales of Madness 2, how would you like to look like in our game Gioku.

Meat rush!
I'd be in kitty heaven~ n_n

@EmperorJumpMad: Yeah, that's a corn dog! There'll be hot dogs and hamburgers in it, too!
Anyway, I'd like to look just like my avatar, if that's okay! With the Shy Guy in the backpack and everything. That'd make me happy.

Is that all? u_u
Well I can see what I can come up with or if you want you can make your own sprite of yourself and hand it into me to put in the maker. :3

@BadKitty: I could probably make my own sprite if that'd be helpful! ...I'm kinda busy at the moment, but I could do that sometime.

And you guys have now convinced me: there will be an unlockable Meat Mutator that turns all fruit into meat!

Did you pay for it? I am also interested in game making I tried Unity but can't say i understood much of it

@BadKitty I have a question for you regarding RPG Maker:

I remember being able to use multiple tile sets on one map in the regular version of VX. I know this wasn't a glitch because I still have the program installed on my laptop downstairs, yet I don't seem to be able to replicate that same effect on VX Ace. Also, there was a shortcut in VX that allowed me to (from the main screen) change the properties of any given tile.

Do you know how I can do these exact same things in VX Ace (assuming that's what you have)?

I googled Game Maker and looks like there's a version of Game Maker Studio free... I'll start with that, no use in expending money before even knowing if I can do anything even remotely good.

Not entirely sure what you are trying to do... o.o
But if you open the database and go to tilesets in VXAce you can chose which you want to combine and make in the final tileset customized. And you can add effects to them there as well. Is that what you are talking about?

@Metroidlink: I tried fiddling with Unity earlier, but having just about zero experience with 3D modelling or anything like that, I was utterly lost. I'm rather proficient in 2D games, and I really like 2D games, so I think I'll just stick with that. Oh, and I did buy the full version of GM7, it was $30 at the time. game Maker is much, much more expensive now... the HTML5 version is $99, and the full(est) version of studio is around $300...

@GuSilverFlame: You should see if you can find an old free trial of Game Maker 8 rather than Studio, there really isn't much you can really do with the free version of Studio (like limits on the amounts of resources you can use), but GM8 Free Trial is completely unlimited; games you make with it will just have a watermark ("This Game Was Made With Game Maker" will show up when loading), and some of the special graphics-effects functions can't be used. But other than that you can do anything with it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH GIOKU I downloaded Game maker 8 trial and it is so much easier than Unity! only con is that when I add a sprite it send me back to the home page of the program

Live and let Smoochy is coming soon! It's so cheesy and ridiculous that it's amazing! I can't wait for you guys to see it!
