    Running out of ideas!

    More than once I read about writer's block. It seems like a problem that has no right answer, but once I read about Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451). He says the best way to fight writer's block (and I do consider all creative enterprise much like it) is writing something completely unrelated. He...

    Using MV to make Digital Board Games, Card Games, and Much More

    I once made a Blackjack Game in VX, with Highscore and all. I even made a version for my girlfriend, who loved it. At the time, I only knew Events, so I did it using a tool for automating some of the work (mostly for conditionals on displaying cards). Nowadays, I would rely heavily on...

    Appreciating the Small Things in MV

    I was mapping the other day and found out I still have muscle memory for laying out maps using shift and ctrl. I'm glad that didn't change or I would be a bit lost

    Google Star Wars

    Hmmm, I'm just guessing, but I think George Lucas intended to use this plot device exactly as you put it. Then have an army of cloned Sith that die stomped by some big creature in a comical way mid movie...

    Transfer Save Games

    Hmmm... you could keep the saves in the cloud. Would need a server though and a lot of work. All persistence in the save files would need to be consistent with each other, so you should probably work in a single project (as LTN Games said) so Switches, Vars and Items don't overlap each other...

    So... Eclipse then. :3

    Question about how things can work out with choices.

    I don't think the ending is that important, but it's hard to argue that structured narratives won't help a lot in case you want a Mass Effect kind of branching narrative. Even though ME did suffer in the end of the journey. Is it Until Down you're thinking of? Also, you can instead of a...

    Template for creating a scene

    Nice one! A question, are those comments structured in a way that we can create a documentation later? Also, preferred IDE is Sublime Text, right? Any plugins that can help trace function calls and such?

    Battle Huds inquiry

    Hmmm... can you give an example?

    Google Star Wars

    Hmmm... It takes a few hours to see the difference... And of course I did join the dark side... they have cookies.

    Question about how things can work out with choices.

    Ok, I agree karma would be nicer implemented this way if you wanted to show it to the player. However, I don't think that needs to be the case. Just inform the player: "You lose some karma". I mean, you don't need to show everything to the player, maybe he can feel the changes some other way...

    Question about how things can work out with choices.

    You don't need JS for branching stories. Start with a very simple scenario: a guy wants an apple. When you talk to him, he explains his need, right? "I want an apple!". So the player takes an apple in a chest, and you activate a switch: GotApple. After that, you can just make the guy say...

    More Badges?

    Yeah, I actually never understood why. Sometimes it's nice to go back to an old post that nobody cared and give some love.

    More Badges?

    How about a badge if you post on an older (+3 weeks) post. Maybe call it "Necromancer", or something like that. Other ideas: 1 - A badge for reporting errors on the forum (Foum's Little Helper) 2 - Badges for recieved tags by tier (Funny tag = 1. Jokester => 50. Funny Guy => 100. Comedy Star)...

    Zendir: A new World Remake

    Hmmm... this first scene could be a bit more fleshed out. Maybe you should have Zane come from the right and watch from a distance before charging in? Also, some capital letters are off. The phrase: "But I know it wasn't you, It was the water" the word "it" shouldn't be capitalized. I don't...
