IGMC: Daily goals/progress thread

I have tens pages long main story and I intend to event it once the mapping is more done. This doesn't count side stuff, just the main story.

I've spent all day working on the stained glass windows for a tileset I need to make.  Dekita wanted me to show him once I was done, so here are all my stained glass windows ^.^



They're all specific to lore in my world (minus the yellow one, that's paying homage to my favorite anime :p ), and NOT free to use :p I just wanted to show off to everyone before going back to the tileset. Eff! That big one took me four hours!

Those are some pretty stained glass windows. I wish I could hire you as an artist ;)

Thankts ^.^ But I actually HATE doing artwork of any kind :p More of a writer and programmer kinda guy. I've just been at RMXP so long that I just kinda picked it up somewhere along the way! XD Though your comment gives me a huge boost of confidence. Wasn't sure if my pixel art was actually any good :3

@All, whoever can identify the girl in the yellow stained glass window gets a cookie!

@legacyblade Idk... Millhiore from Dog Days?

@CashmereCat, not even close :p (well except that they're both pink magical girls, in which case I guess it's kinda close :p

New goal: REDO the entire first floor of the game. D:

No, I didn't lose my maps but I found a FATAL FLAW that would completely ruin the game experience for players.... and cause likely hair-tearing... Glad I found 'em now instead of later.

Tomorrow and Friday I'm launching Operation Salvage and Fix my Mistakes! These new maps will be even better! Also mini games.

More chair slapping!

Writing. Thinking. Not actually doing.

Just wrapped up on the entire space port area of Sanguine-6.  I have the port town area, a weapons shop, a shopping mall (that you can buy a frilly pink dress for your engineer lady, if you so choose), and a two floor inn (lower floor is check-in and pub, upper floor is 10 TINY little rooms with a bed and a lamp).

Since the tilesets I'm using have no stairs, though, I've went with teleport pads for every instance that would actually NEED stairs to transition between floors.  I feel it adds to the sci-fi aspect of things, and it really makes for some cool layout tricks. ;)

Tomorrow, assuming things go smoothly, I'll do the EXACT SAME THING with Sanguine-5, and POSSIBLY Morendah.  That'd leave the starting area for Morendah's Destroyed Moon (no space port, just craters).  Then SATURDAY (Friday is D&D), it'll be mapping out the dungeon/field areas for each planet (except Morendah-it's just the space port and a large town area).

Come Sunday/Monday, it's eventing the main story into place, and trying out a trick with eventing and picture overlays to do lighting effects and FOG!  

All in all, I'm pleased with how well I did today.  Should have started this new system AGES ago (new system being Fluffy is on SteamChat working on his Android Device Game while I'm on SteamChat working on MY game, and we send each other progress updates and stuff).

Happy like hell!

Those looks great man. Cant wait to see the rest of the map ^_^

I've had no time to work today so I'm enjoying everyone's updates. I did get almost two hours in the car all alone (a rare occurrence for me) so I did have time to think and ponder. Which was good, got some points worked out and came up with more questions I need to answer.

lol, I love how you had time to think and ended up raising more questions.

I hate => "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day" when I try to like things...

Today I managed to download my humble bundle and install the vx ace steam and DLC. :D Spent a little time going over that (of course)

I also got some bugs fixed in various scripts (for friends and their entries)

Then - finally - I updated my topic's initial post with loads of information, redone the header images etc. I also managed to get a clear idea of how I want various scenes to look.

#Progress lol

WELL, if anything went LESS smoothly, I'd probably be bleeding right now!

Today could not have went worse.

Work, sure, I got to go in an hour later'n normal, but I ended up working WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY later'n normal, so it was nearly half past 7 when I got home.

Go me.

I took my customary lie-down (I ain't too proud to admit I cannot function without a bit of a rest-right now my hip is STILL killing me where I took that flight of stairs the wrong way when I fell today), admonishing my wife to wake me in an hour and a half two hours...

Yeah, got up all of LESS THAN fifteen minutes ago!

Not even CRACKED the program open today, and may not get to tomorrow!

ON the bright side, I'm well rested, and in a good mood.

Outside that, though, today has sucked up one side and down the other.

...

Also, work has decided (all of the sudden) that my beard and my hair have to go.

That just straight p*sses me off.

Xenos - sorry you had such a rough day man.

Today I had coffee with my daughter, went down water slides and played in other water park fun, used a magic wand to go on a magic quest - a pretty awesome where other than checking in here occasionally on my phone I didn't even think about rm'ing! And I'm okay with that!!

It is obvious she is the princess of biscotti in dog day's!

Sadly due Personnal Issue I Will not have access on internet until july So I will can't post the final submission of the game to the contest ....it is sad but my RL stuff pass before...the production of Nya quest is not stopped I will continue the game just I will can't post it for the IGMC  sorry for this

I actually got a fair amount done today (between doing other non-important stuff)

1. I decided to stop messing with the battle system entirely because it was taking too long to balance and get it working the way I wanted (I may come back to that after the month is over)

2. I changed the opening cutscene a bit (it now fits better with the direction I plan on taking the story)

3. Changed some items around and also removed some completely (this was actually very needed after removing the battle system)

4. Finished even more maps (though these were mostly copy-paste, but it's still more done than I had this morning, plus they're all story needed which just makes it even better)

5. Also, I made a child sprite for one of the characters (who now has a total of three different sprites for use over the course of this short game... I think that might be a little much. No more editing sprites for that character...)

Things to work on tomorrow

1. Books (or at least one necessary one that I need to event together now)

2. Just tons of eventing in general (without a battle system to worry about I can now just focus on the story and puzzles)

3. Editing the icon sheet (I now have way more on it then I need... Which is weird to say because it's still about the default size)

Books? If you need graphics for them I have some that only need the text/logo added if you want them.

I envy your day!  I hope my day tomorrow goes half as well.

OH OH OH!  With Sunday being Father's Day and all, I THINK my wife is getting me a couple more resource packs to potentially use in my game (yes, I am mixing resource packs in strange and amazing (in my opinion) ways)!

Anyway, I plan tomorrow to do what I HAD planned today, since my D&D/GURPS (we're using GURPS, but 90% of people I talk to don't know what that is) night is already planned out.

I'm taking them to the Maze.  They don't know it yet.  They're going to meet up with what are known in my world as "GIANT (Fwording) WASPS."

I think our FIRST rogue (second in this group, because he missed the first two sessions, but back when we were using D&D, he was the bard, then the rogue) might die.
